It feels great to finally finish my Drop 2 chords
In this video, I am finally finishing the Drop 2 inversions that I started in March on my website. Initially, I was only going to provide this for members, but I decided to show you my process in learning these drop 2 chords.
Hey, you are watching a snippet of my Full Drop 2 training. In this video we cover only A, Bb, and B. If you would like to learn all of your Drop 2's and need to see all the notes you can see the button below, join the membership, and access the full course on this.

But in order to master drop 2's you need to practice and memorize your Drop 2's in every key. You can also go back to the Youtube Video here

Wan to learn drop2
Love to master drop 2 voicing.
So how can we know the right finger position for those drop 2’s
Hey, there’s a debate on this right now. Some folks prefer 1 note in the Left Hand and 3 in the right hand. I try to do 2 in the Left and 2 in the right, but its mostly personal preference
Hey – I ‘m looking at this video now, and doing the exercise, and I’m getting better at the voice leading already –
Here’s an old tune of mine that I could never play completely myself – DUEO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmxjkPHciAw&list=RDdmxjkPHciAw&start_radio=1
and I never”approved” 🙂 100% on how the pianists played it ( I”m trumpet / vocals ) – it felt like they didn’t get to the “heart” of the chord progression I was hearing ( I had all sorts problems notating the chords correctly too –
but I couldn’t explain what I heard in my head, and that was deeply embarrassing, as I”m supposed to have this jazz education etc… later, at NYU a well meaning pianist tried some drop 2s all over, and I was not happy with that either , beig a Scandinavian, I want some oppenness, and not ALWAYS the clusters… in the sound – (makes sense/)
But I think I”ve clocked it now – It IS a bunch of drop 2s creating a very Take 6 -ish feel ..
moving chromatically downward…
I’m rerecording –
Thanks for helping me rediscovering my own tune 🙂
I’m glad you’re enjoying the lesson and rediscovering your own sound, that’s what this site is all about!
