How Many Chord Voicings Do You Know?
That was a question I challenged myself to answer this week. Turns out, I've learned quite a few, but there are really 13 that I use most regularly.
So jump in this MEGA video and learn these important voicings:
Bud Powell voicings, shells, 2-hand comping, block chords like George Shearing, drop 2 like Bill Evans, rootless left hand voicings like Oscar Peterson, quartals like McCoy Tyner, and my favorite, the Kenny Barron voicing.
