Piano Exercise – Arpeggios
An arpeggio is a way of playing a chord without playing all of the notes simultaneously, yet note by note.
This is a basic exercise of arpeggios in triad chords. In the video you can see the use of an arpeggio in a chord (including the octave note).
One example of this is the chord C. The notes that are played are C, E, G and also the next C note.
At the end of this video, the left hand is also used and plays the arpeggio with the right hand at the same time. This is a good exercise to coordinate the movement of your hands with each other.
How to Play Basic Piano Jazz Chords
In this video we see a basic exercise for basic jazz chords on the piano and also a scale. The chords that the pianist uses are Am7 – although he says Am9 in the video – and Bm7. These chords are repeated several times and then he adds CM7 chord (this is the chord that he says he doesn’t know what the name of it is). He plays a scale which he calls the D major scale without playing C#, but this actually would be G major scale, starting at the D note.
In music theory this scale would be called D mixolydian.
Although the terms that he uses in this video are not correct, this video is a good exercise for practicing jazz piano chords.
