Use SIMPLE Triads to Play COMPLEX Piano Chords: Jazz Extensions (Part 3)
Using slash chords, you play triads in the right hand over a different bass note to unlock rich jazz extensions. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches the formulae for seventh chords, modal harmony, jazz extensions and altered chords by playing triads with a different bass note in the left hand. In this Part 3 you'll learn all the essential chord and interval theory needed to play an upper extension with respect to the root of the overall chord. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:37 - 7 Sus4 or 11th Chord 02:04 - Minor 11th 03:59 - Major and Minor 9th Chord 05:24 - Major 9th 06:36 - What is an Altered Chord? 07:44 - #5 & b9 Combos 09:43 - b5 & b9 Combos 11:19 - Conclusion of the 3-Part Series ============================= 📹 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 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #UpperStructureTriads #JazzPianoChords #ChordExtensions
