Neo-Soul Piano 101: Minor 11th Chords, Chromatic Slips & Dilla Feel

1. Lush Minor 11th Voicings

Play root bass with left hand, then stack 7th, 9th, and 11th intervals in the right hand (e.g. Fm11: F in bass, Eb-Ab-C-Eb in right hand) for rich soul warmth!

2. Chromatic Grace Note Slips

Slip rapidly from a half-step minor 3rd grace note up into the major 3rd to give chord changes a vocal blue-note quality.
