Great Gospel Flavor for your Jazz Playing - Peter Martin | 2 Minute Jazz

Peter Martin demonstrates one easy technique to add some gospel
flavor to your jazz playing.


===================================================


What's going on everybody? Peter Martin here for 2 Minute Jazz
Piano. I want to show you one concept for adding in some gospel
flavor into your jazz playing today.


So many great ways that we can do this, but we can just add one
at a time, give a little hint of the gospel vibe, I think it
works well.


So we're in the key of G and if we're playing jazz, say like a
ballad.


(pleasant piano music)


And we're going from G Major, the I chord up to the IV chord we
might move with those kind of voicings, so like G Major, A Minor,
B flat Diminished, B Minor, and then to the C Major. I'm just
gonna put one kind of gospel-tinged change in there. Okay, did
you hear that? We can go G Major, A Minor7, and then instead of B
Minor, I went to B7#9 Flat 13. Okay?


So of course when I add the whole gospel feel, you really hear
that but even in jazz, like if it was a ballad. Just a kinda cool
way to


put a little bit of gospel in your jazz playing, alright? So I
hope you have fun with that. Peace, happy practicing.
