Pretty much whole session focused on minor ii — V — i’s in 3-b5-7-b9 — 7-b9-3-6 — 3-5-7-9 voicing (skill 43 from Haerle book). Man that’s hard! Still playing it without click as it takes time to figure out b7ths & b9ths for complicated keys like Eb- or Ab-, but I’m getting there. Playing shell voicings like 7-3-5 or 3-7-9 after this feels like — whew, that’s easy!

A pretty relaxed & short session due to some production work that’s forcing me to bail on practising sometimes 😃). But I’m still playing piano while producting tracks, right? Does that count? Lol.
