If you’ve been spending hours running scales up and down, STOP! 🚫 In this video, I’ll show you a powerful exercise that will do way more for your technique, improvisation, and understanding of harmony than scales alone ever could.
We’ll dive into 7th chords and how to arpeggiate them in all 12 keys – this is a must for any serious piano player.
Not only will this exercise transform your playing, but it’s also insanely practical for both jazz and neo-soul styles. You’ll quickly become familiar with every chord in every key, making it so much easier to improvise, create chord progressions, and jam with others.
