Since we&#8217;re out here on the west coast, it&#8217;s just a lot easier and practical to access this incredible pool of talent. But in the future, rest assured we&#8217;ll be going on the road!).<\/p>\n<p>One simple <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technique<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> that is common out here is to take a chord, pull out the middle note, and simply play that middle note on your left hand.<\/p>\n<p>It could be done to practically any chord.<\/p>\n<p>For example, C major. Instead of voicing it like this:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,G,&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>You may find it voiced like this:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,C,G&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s commonly done with diminished <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7 chords<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> too.<\/p>\n<p> For example, here&#8217;s a normal C# dim 7:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Cs,E,G,Bb,&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Now take out the &#8220;E&#8221; and put it on the left hand:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,Cs,G,Bb&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also do it with the &#8220;G&#8221; in the chord. Simply take it out and put it on your left hand:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,Cs,E,Bb&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Works well with half-diminished 7 chords too. Here&#8217;s the normal way to play an Eb half-dim 7:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,Gb,A,Db&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Now with &#8220;A&#8221; moved to left hand:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,Eb,Gb,Db&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Or you can try it with the &#8220;Gb&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Gb,Eb,A,Db&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>I can go on and on but here&#8217;s the principle:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Take chords you normally play and experiment with taking notes from the middle of the chord and placing them in your left hand bass. That&#8217;s it! Some will work really well, others won&#8217;t but let your ear be the final judge.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hear some folks saying: &#8220;But what about my normal bass <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">note<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These would act as substitutes. So, for a quick moment, you don&#8217;t play your normal left hand bass and you&#8217;d play whatever this strategy calls for (whatever note is in the middle of your chord that you&#8217;re moving to the left hand).<\/p>\n<p>Or better yet, if you have a bass player, you can do whatever you want on left hand because they&#8217;re always holding down the bass.<\/p>\n<p>Alright, hope this helps.
