As strange as this might sound, can anyone recommend sheet music or a book of comping to a tune? Does such a thing exist? I don't mean exercises, I'm looking for written transcriptions of someone comping to a tune.

Please don't come at me with, "Use your ear" or "Transcribe it yourself". I'm not at a point in life where I have any free time to sit at a piano and plunk away and feel it out. If I can see the notes used, I can analyze the rhythm/voicings and then apply it enough to get me started.

Thanks!

When playing Major and Minor 7 chords, I tend to do a rootless 3 5 7 9 in my left hand, and various inversions of those. So for example in a 2 5 1 in C I might start F A C E for the D Minor or C E F A.

My question is, is this enough? I have had a stab at quartal tones from the Mantooth book and that is ok, nice spread out and two hands comping. But I always go back to my stacked thirds above (or inverted).

I have read somewhere that sometimes the Maj chord throws in the 13 so for C it might be B D E A. Thats ok but It doesn't sound right to me.

Am I on the right track?

Cheers

Hi!

I am playing piano for about 8 years and really like to fully improvise pieces (but not jazz really). I record pretty much everything i play either in midi or by phone. I am looking for ways to share my music online, but i very much against doing any videos since it is too much of a hustle to waste time on editing, setting up and recording because i practice for hours daily and not always at my place even. I have an account on soundcloud, but i think i can reach more people on YouTube because of the algorhythm and asking what could be the best approach to make something that is fine to stumble upon there without spending too much time. I think of making photos or my instrument or random stuff and then blurring them (maybe not necesarilly blurring, but putting on some filters) or some pictures that have simple geometry shapes to fill the screen that i can create by myself without any commisions and putting some spectre visualizations like those you have on say, Monstercat releases or many others.
