Piano Runs & Fills 3: Play Jazzy Chromatic Chords to Song Endings

Do you want your piano playing to sound more like a professional?

Many beginners just end their song in a boring way. When they get to the end of the song, they just play a long tone in the empty measure. They do not know what to do with the long measure. Often times, the song sounds very abrupt when they come to an ending.

How would you like to create a dreamy ending so that your audience can sit back to flavor the ending of your performance?

Here's the Secret: One way to create a dreamy ending is to use a half-step chromatic chord movement to creating a mesmerizing bassline leading the audience one step at a time to the home chord. These chords will provide the step-wise movement to lead to the final endings of songs.

In this course, I will show you step by step on the keyboard, so that you know exactly how to create these jazzy chords movement that many people love to listen to.

1. For the beginners, we will begin with the triad chords: Em Ebdim Dm C

2. We will form the 4 tone - 7th Chords: Em7 Ebdim7 Dm7 CM7

3. Play the 3rd tone on the Right Hand.

4. Play the 1st & 5th tones on the Left Hand.

5. Learn easy hand coordination to make these chords sound mesmerizing!

6. You can put this chromatic chords movement into any songs you play in the Key of C.
