Solo Jazz Piano Part 1
ShareThisGet started playing solo jazz piano with this lesson by learning spread voicings with independent lead. These voicings produce a rich, full sound and are used for playing the head of tunes. The right hand supports the rhythmically independent melody with guide tones and the left hand plays root-based shell voicings.
Updated with new video and completely rewritten practice sessions (40 pages!) including supplemental video demonstrating the voicings for four additional tunes: "Till There Was You," "What'll I Do," "Who Can I Turn To" and "Joy Spring."
