Progressions

melo gives a progression in a key and you play each chord in turn. Keep the notes that carry over; melo listens for how the voices move.

Voicing

TriadsThree-note chords, the plainest way to play it, each placed close to the last so the hand barely moves.Shell voicingsRoot, 3rd and 7th with the root in the bass: the classic left-hand voicing, one hand shape moving with the bass.Guide tonesJust the 3rd and 7th of each chord, moving by step from one chord to the next.Full 7th chordsAll four notes of each chord, in any voicing.Rootless 9thsFour notes in one hand, the root left to the bass: the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th (on a 13th chord, the 13th in place of the 5th). The soft sound of lo-fi and jazz piano.
