hey d! how about over an Fmaj7,Gmin7,C7 ? when do you sleep bro-you just a monster,when ya gonna come down to atl and shed ?be blessed
not a monster bro but thanks for the compliment
when do i sleep?
i havent posted in a while i thought i would leave you guys alone for a while didnt want to wear out my welcome
as far as coming to ATl I was planning a trip this fall to ATL
now on to your other question
if your progression was Fmaj7 Gmin7 to C7
you could do it several ways
the left hand could play
A for the Fmaj7
Bb for the Gmin7 and the C7
or E for the Fmaj7 and F for the Gmin7 and E for the C7
the idea is to create a singing line with the left hand so it almost becomes like a counter point melody
try this progression
lets say you were doing a 1 3 6 2 5
in the key of F
F/A/CDFA
A/G/C#EGA
D/F#/CEF#A
G/FG/BbDFA
C/E/BbDEG
F/E/ACF
you see it is simple the left hand starts out on a third or a 7th and just goes to the next third or seventh
if the chords move in fourths the next note will always be a half step or a third away
if there is some other type of movement the nearest note will be no further then a third because remember you are looking for the nearest 7th or 3rd
the beauty of it is that if you want more notes to add to the left hand you can easily build other notes around the third or seventh
you can add the root near the 7th which works nicely for minor 7th chords and dominant 7th chords
or you can add the 4th to the minor third which works nicely with minor 7th chords
you can add the fith and ninth or the third and ninth and fifth the
point is that the possibilities are many
but the simple act of using one note as a counter point line to your bass provides a very professional sound
today i used it in my service
and the director commented that my playing seemed very relaxed and smooth
and that is exactly what this style yields a smooth balanced sound
definitely something to add to your bag of tricks
