Exercise 1.1

Exercise 4.2

Here is the printed version of what I played on Track 5. Most of my right hand voicings are around the middle of the keyboard as that is where chords sound the richest, however it also makes it more difficult to read the notes as you have to work with ledger lines.  In the attached PDF, I've shifted everything up and octave for easier reading.

Exercise 8.1

Thinking of the relative major each time you come across a m7 chord symbol is very important. For example, when you play Em7, think of playing a G triad in the RH. You're already familiar with the 3 inversions of G major, so you therefore have 3 ways to voice your Em7 chord at your fingertips.

In future chapters, you will learn how to modify a G major triad into say a G2, or Gmaj7 chord. These voicings are also valid options for your RH when playing Em7 and result in richer, more complex minor sounds. So the sooner you associate Em7 with its relative major, G, the easier it will be for you when it comes to creating complex Em chords.
