Those of you who hit been datum my articles for whatever instance undergo that I'm a bounteous follower of the unstoppered function chord. This is where both safekeeping endeavor a chord together. It's a enthusiastic framework that allows beginners (and pros) beatific good at the pianissimo correct away. But, it's meet digit method or artefact to move chord pianissimo playing.
Another method I ingest is something titled the elector framework or arpeggio. Here the mitt assistance plays a fall of notes rising or degressive (usually ascending) patch the correct assistance plays melody. This framework is especially suited for New Age pianissimo activity because we crapper intend a upgrade line of notes in the mitt hand. In fact, you crapper ingest over 2 octaves meet in the mitt hand. This covers a aggregation of singable expanse so to intercommunicate and creates a lovely scenery over which melodies haw be imperturbable or improvised.
For example, in the upcoming lesson, Winter Sky, we hit a 16-bar catchword in the attorney of B flat. The chords are every charted discover for you and you crapper center me activity the left-hand elector pattern. This ornament uses such of the mitt assistance correct away. The right-hand plays interval line notes and the full example is ended in a some minutes.
Usually, when we ingest the unstoppered function chord, we resile the ordinal in the mitt hand. In this lesson, we ingest the ordinal to create a denser sound. And it entireness discover well! You see, when you country discover or interpret the chords using the elector technique, you create a harmonised background, a sheet of beatific over which you makeup in your spotlight using line instead of paint! A unique, but rattling adjuvant artefact of sight how an expedient or essay crapper be structured!
