Complete Left-Hand Piano Control, Part 3: Suspended Chords & Modified Tresillo
In this third lesson of Complete Piano Control for the Left Hand, we take you through 2 riffs, one with suspended chords for a folk-fusion type melody and the other, with a strong 16th note phrasing along with a rare 'Modified Tresillo'. Both these riffs are great for left-hand finger workouts, along with a fun melody as a bonus! Riff 6 uses left-hand arpeggios, diads and sus4 chords, and is also transposed to D and E. Riff 7 is in F minor. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance Riff 6 00:35 - Introduction- Folk fusion with Arpeggios for left hand, Diads, Sus4 Chords 01:36 - Riff 6 Lesson 04:18 - Transposed to D & E 05:12 - Riff #7 - F minor 05:38 - Riff #7 Lesson- 16th note phrasing, Modified Tresillo 07:25 - Modified Tresillo 09:23 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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/ #LeftHandPiano #TresilloRhythm #SuspendedChords Continue this lesson series Part 1: left-hand control, rhythm patterns and arpeggios — https://youtu.be/kl5K7w2yCI0 Part 2: minor-scale left-hand patterns — https://youtu.be/21bX5YU_VVE
