The first time I heard the music of Keith Jarret I wasn’t sure if I was listening to classical music or jazz. It was in fact a completely improvised piano solo played live in concert. This first piece from the 1975 Koln concert in Germany was the first piece I ever heard from this artist and to this day it still remains one of my all time favorite piano pieces. The simplicity of the haunting melodies is deceptive and there are times when I would swear that this man sounds as if he has three arms. How can one man make such rich music on one piano? There are times when he is obviously hearing the music he wants to play and has run
out of fingers to play it so he starts singing the missing parts joining in with percussive knocking on the piano with his feet.
This artist has been a great inspiration for me and simply listening to him makes you feel that playing the piano can be a really simple task when it comes down to it.
This is a product aimed at those who are already playing the piano at a basic or intermediate level. It is a guide on how to make the chords you play sound more luscious.
This is a single book in pdf printable format. It has been put together by professional pianist and teacher Bill Romer. The whole idea of this product is that when you are learning to play the piano, especially if you are self taught, you learn some basic chords. These chords just don’t give you that professional pianist sound. This is where this book comes in. It will teach you loads of rich sounding chords and chord progressions you can use to make your playing sound better.
In order to use this course you need to be able to read a simple melody in the treble clef. The lessons border on teaching you improvisation and they show how to put wonderful rich sounding chord progressions on top of the simple melodies. After you get the hang of how this works, which will be very quick, you can start to use the chords and progressions you have learned in many different types of music. For more information check out the Piano Basics page.
The majority of the chords are thick jazz chords including sevenths, ninths, thirteenths etc. They all use their many inversions, Sometimes when playing one chord in a certain inversion you can then play another totally different chord with an added seventh or ninth in a different inversion and of maybe four notes played you might only have to change one. This technique serves to keep the harmony moving and appropriate by the piano will continue to sound full and mysterious.
The guide is very compact having 60 pages but the content is thick and there is a lot to get through. It comes with a separate chord chart which shows you by way of diagrams how to play the chords (no need to know how to read music)
The best thing about this product is that it only costs $27. There is also a 60 day money back guarantee.
