I've been watching a lot of videos on voicings but this is the one I've been looking for the whole time. I've already had somewhat of an understanding of the theory behind voicings but this video finally gave me some practical and actionable advice on how to actually play them. The common, general advice was always to "just start playing lead sheets" and I'd sit down and not know what to do other than the basic LH voicings based on 3rds but now I'm excited to try this out and build up my voicing repertoire and muscle memory.

I Have Been Primarily A Vocalist Who Plays Keyboards In Bands Mainly For The Past 57 Years and Who Recently Have Endeavored To Seriously Acquire The Art Of Solo Jazz Piano Playing To Accompany My Singing Voice and Have Over The Past 7 Or 8 Years Taken Lessons From Private Teachers Here In My City and Various You Tube Videos But I Have NEVER Yet Encountered a A Teacher Of The World-Class Caliber As That Of Master Pianist and Teacher Jonny May !!! In This Video Alone, I Have Grasped Voicing Concepts In A Few Short Minutes That Are THOROUGHLY Explained Like NO ONE Else Has Even Come CLOSE TO In My Experience!!! In My Humble Opinion, Jonny, You Are The Finest, and The Greatest Teacher Out There, Brother!!! Bar None!!! and Thank You For Finally Explaining and Unlocking The Techniques For These Utterly Gorgeous and Shimmering Jazz Chord Voicings!!!👍👍🎹🎼🎵🎶❤👍👍

You certainly can and it will help when you go to play with other musicians. Focus on rootless chords and the other one that did the 3 and 7. That way you don't step on the bass player's toes

This is great lesson. I would really appreciate a lesson on when and how to use the pedal. Because in all of your examples your notes are sustained, and the sound is very full. But you don't say how you achieved the sound QUALITY. Please help.

The advice in this video is great, but what if I’m in a band and someone else is playing the melody? You only covered how to play the chords with your left hand along with the melody, but what if my left hand is also free to add to the chord?

Right, the left Hand goes down and down and down and down, but at the end you can just start at the beginning and jump with your hand up.

Merci for this. I'm working on my chops. I started with vegan chops, since I thought it would be better for the planet. But my Mom used to cook us pork chops, but my favorite was lamb chops. Looking at this lesson, I have a certain Pavlovian reaction and am starting to salivate already. BTW I've seen many pianists complain about finger strength, piano pains and tension. I have filmed a video about exercises for the pianist, that is to say for the person sitting at the piano for their body. My daughter is doing the editing but is in the middle of editing for a TV show and it won't be ready until August. I'll let you know the link once it's up. Stay tuned.
