Playing 2, 5 Shell Chord Voicing in Db (Flat)

Video Transcript

So now that we have our three basic chords down, and we went over the most important notes out of these chords are the one, the three, and the seven, now if you just voice the three and the seven you get what's called a shell voicing, and like people like Bud Powell use this all the time. And you can hear really hear how it goes E flat minor, A flat seven, D flat. And I'll show you how it works. Now, if you start on E flat, or two minor, we have three and seven here, right. And then if you go to A flat, you have three and seven here. So this is moved down to there. And the shift from there is what gives the sound that movement, and then these go to here, the bottom one moves to D flat major, so we have the top down, bottom down. And that inner movement gives you that sound, the tension, release, tension, release. A flat seven, D flat major, E flat, A flat, D flat, so, by outlining these shell voicing?s, or three and seven, you get some nice, hip things. So that's the simple basics, are the most two basic important notes that come out of your voicing?s, so, playing around the three and the seven, is always gold.
