Observations

I urgently need some LH exercises and more topics, as shell voicings and II — V — I’s, as cool as they are, are starting to get slightly boring (because I have basically been focused just on them for the good two months). New jazz piano books are on their way!

Piano day (1h 30m)

II — V — I’s
- Major (both formats, with click, no pauses)
- Minor (format 1, with click, with pauses)
7-3-5 voicings chromatically up from C to C
3-7-9 voicings chromatically up from C to C

Piano day (2h)

II — V — Is (Dan Haerle)
- Minor (format 1) — w/ click, pausing between chords to figure out voicings
- Major (both formats)
Applying shell voicings to a jazz standard (playing over the drums + walking bass play-along track)

Piano day (1h 20m)

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!
