LESSON DETAILS

"Funky Jazz Gospel"

In this original song (in 3 sections) I will show you how to create FULL chord voicings while also creating a progression with motion using tri-tone substitutions and other techniques. The sound of this song will appeal to many of you, especially if you like that "smooth jazz" contemporary sound. In this lesson I am using a Nord Electro keyboard which has very nice electric piano sounds. At the end of the lesson, I spend time on improvisation over the C section, giving you more techniques to use in your soloing.

We will also be covering improvisation over the C section, giving you more techniques to use in your soloing. If you want to learn how to create some funky piano grooves using different 16th-note rhythms, chord progressions and shifting accents then this is the collection for you!
