Triads Aren’t JUST Thirds❗️ Piano Voicing with All Intervals 🎹
In this piano tutorial, we take a deep dive into voicing triads using all interval types—a powerful way to train your ears and hands to think beyond standard shapes. 🎹 Using Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” in G minor as our canvas, we’ll build 3-note voicings with: * Seconds and their beautiful clusters * Thirds in both closed and open formats * Quartal & Quintal structures (fourths and fifths stacked by design) * Sixth-based voicings tailored for minor chords * A creative approach to Seventh intervals and harmonic brainstorming This lesson is all about thinking like a composer, not just a chord player. 🎵 Understanding of Modes - https://youtu.be/w2gCx0ulWiQ 🎹Spread Chord (Playlist) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_K6G85ibBIRn4K63BDlbTE 🎼 Chord Voicing & Inversions (Playlist) - https://studio.youtube.com/playlist/PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC/videos 5️⃣ Voicing Techniques - https://youtu.be/mgkPhQaVaQQ 👉🏼🏡Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube 🎓 Learn Music With Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac: https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 🎼 Register for our virtual workshops & lessons: https://geni.us/UpcomingClasses 📹 Our Video Courses (Lifetime Bundle): https://www.nathanielschool.com/members-videos 🎶 Learn all about our flagship course, "Music Method": https://www.nathanielschool.com/musicmethod 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) categorised by skill level, topic & genre all in one place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/freelessons 🐣 All our Beginner Piano Lessons in one Place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/free-lessons/tags/beginner-1 🕰️ 00:00 - Performance of “Ain’t No Sunshine” in G Minor 01:09 - What We’ll Learn Today 01:45 - Essential Theory 02:09 - Seconds & Their Inversions (Cluster Chords) 02:57 - Inversions of the Cluster 04:19 - Triads Using Thirds: Closed vs Open Voicing 05:51 - Slash Chords in the Bass 06:30 - Quartal Voicing: When to Choose It 09:01 - Quintal Structures & Application 10:34 - Quintal up a Third 11:51 - Building Triads with Sixth Intervals 13:08 - Seventh Intervals: Brainstorming Harmonic Choices 14:53 - Recap & Practice Tips 📧 Customized & Private Classes: music@nathanielschool.com 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 👨👩👧👦 Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jasonzac 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music: https://geni.us/AbsenceYouTubeJZB 💰 Donate on PayPal: https://geni.us/DonatePayPal #TriadVoicings #QuartalVoicings #PianoVoicings
