Change Chords Over One Bass Note | Static Chords on Piano (Part 2)
Explore static chords on piano by holding G in the left hand while changing right-hand triads from G natural minor. Turn those chord colours into rhythmic accompaniment and try other keys. Jason Zac, piano faculty of Nathaniel School of Music, continues his look at static chords, the subtle harmonic texture that lets a single chord breathe while the music moves around it. It's an intermediate harmony lesson that adds depth and atmosphere to your accompaniment. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #StaticChords #PianoHarmony #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Static chords on piano: Part 2 00:35 Diatonic chords over a held bass 01:23 Chords of G minor and B-flat major 03:05 Keep only the root in the left hand 03:26 Move through the right-hand chords 04:04 Create a rhythmic pattern 04:41 Slash-chord colours over G 05:37 Use the idea during a long chord 06:23 Plan the scale and chord choices 07:07 Try other keys and instruments
