Are you having trouble learning the Three 4-note chords: Major7, Minor 7 and Dominant 7 in all 12 keys? Maybe you are looking for a “chop” burner to workout those fingers?
Playing chromatically is key when playing jazz piano. The lesson above moves up and down the three 4-note chords chromatically.
This is a great exercise to get the three x basic 4-note chords down and into your brain, plus it is a great "chops burner” or workout for the fingers. I still do this exercise today… it's a great warm up!
Never start “burning” right away. Playing slow and focusing on clean precise notes between the two hands is key. I still do this exercise today. It’s part of my warm up.
Take it easy,
Greg.
