This is an older discussion about "the basics" lesson in the Jazz Piano Lessons room.
Duh! Sorry 'bout the dom 7. Minor 7th (degree, right?, not chord). For me one of the many nice things about the dimished chord is that becau...
Listing the diminished chord only may supply a little light: C Eb Gb A It is important to realize that this is also the A dim, the Eb dim, and the Gb...
Another way to think of this is in terms of the parent diminished scale. The C half-tone/whole-tone scale is C Db Eb E F# G A Bb Cdim7 is made up of th...
This is one of these areas where it all gets kinda silly. The Bb in a C chord is actually called a minor 7th, not a dominant 7th. That same Bb added to...
You're missing the 7th. The 7th in a dim chord is double-flat (is that the right term?). So in C it is C Eb Gb Bbb (or A). The dom 7th m...
So.. Cm7b5 or C half-diminished 7 : C Eb Gb Bb(im not sure about this one,) hmm.. im confused, isn't Cm7b5 and Cdim7 the same?? cuz the...

Not bad for sure. You might want to find a way to let folks know to click to proceed. Most will guess it eventually. I took the second test and think I ...
Hey thanks for letting me know! <<<<- How many accidentals does the key of G have? I suppose the answer is one, although I thought the defi...

I like Transcribe, it's what I use when transcribing stuff.

Don't get too bogged down in thinking about "all the stuff" you have to do, just to the next thing. Doing a transcription, such as the piano sol...
Volume 1 of this educational jazz piano book contains 15 jazz piano exercises, tricks, and other interesting jazz piano techniques, voicings, grooves, and ideas Scot Ranney enjoys playing.
Volume 2 has 14 jazz piano exercises and tricks of the trade, and quite a bit of it is Calypso jazz piano related material, including some Monty Alexander and Michel Camilo style grooves. Jazz piano education is through the ears, but books like this can help.
Volume 3 contains 12 jazz piano exercises and explorations by the acclaimed jazz piano educator, pianist, author, and recording artist Tim Richards.
Tim wrote the well known "Exploring Jazz Piano" and "Improvising Blues Piano" books and has several others to his name.

In this book Jeff shares detailed analysis of transcriptions of live performances. He covers everything from the shape of the songs to the tricks and licks he uses in improvised lines to the ideas behind his lush chord voicings.
