	Get ready for a left hand workout! This very detailed lesson is almost a full hour and details one of the most common transitions between blues and jazz: the “left hand rootless voicing”. This powerful musical device has the power to instantly “jazz up” your playing! We’ll look at some alternate blues chord progression turnarounds. As you know, the 12-bar blues is an art form that is alive and well – and it’s always being customized! We’ll dig into a set of intense alternate turnaround chords, and then we’ll play those chords using the “left hand rootless voicings”. A large section of this lesson is devoted to walking you through the process of getting your hands used to playing these rootless voicings – effortlessly. I’ll show you the one secret that will get these sounds out of your head and into your hands. “Altered 7th chords?” You’ll hear this term in jazz circles. We’ll study what it means to make the right alterations!
	Chapter 17
	This very in-depth lesson explores the concept of “Muscle Memory”: Using the technique of Muscle Memory, you’ll teach your hands – as well as your mind – to remember chord shapes. By developing this skill, chords and voicings become “second nature” on the keyboard!
