Comping on Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise

FREE 'Rethinking Jazz Guitar' course: http://bit.ly/RethinkingJazzGuitar Let's look at the harmony and some comping movements on the Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise changes. We'll discuss concepts including minor ii V Is (2 5 1s), dominant7b9 chords (7b9), the minor pentatonic chord scale and Barry Harris's Dominant Diminished scale and using borrowed diminished notes. I also discuss what to listen for in your favourite players to improve your comping, and where to focus when you are comping yourself. Remember it has to be melodically interesting, rhythmically interesting, and the chord voicings have to be practical! Choose voicings melody down rather than voicing up! 🔴 RECOMMENDED VIDEOS/PLAYLISTS 🎥    • Jazz Analysis: Softly, As In A Morning Sun...   🔴 ** MY PRODUCTS ** ★ TABLE OF CONTENTS ★ • 0:00 Intro & 3 Essential Comping Elements • 0:38 Minor ii V Is and the Bebop Scale • 3:38 Favourite Comping Scales • 4:08 'A' section Ideas • 5:07 Minor Pentatonic Chord Scale • 5:42 Tritone Substitution • 6:48 Comping Rhythms • 8:55 'A' section playthrough • 9:37 'B' section • 10:02 Diminished chords are 7b9 chords • 12:03 Dominant Diminished and Borrowed notes • 13:01 Final 'A' section, establishing a riff • 14:15 Recap • 15:05 Gary Burton's advice • 15:24 Practical vs non-practical voicings • 16:28 Comping is hard! • 16:48 Conclusion 💡 TOPICS IN THIS VIDEO 💡 • jazz comping • jazz guitar comping • comping • jazz comping guitar • jazz • jazz comping guitar lesson 🔎 HASHTAGS 🔎 #jazzcomping #jazzguitarcomping #comping #jazzcompingguitar #jazz #jazzcompingguitarlesson
