Speaking of Harmony - Episode 42 - Bassless Chords
In this episode I'm taking a look at the third part of the "bass voice mini series" - the actual absence of the bass! Playing rootless, bassless chords. I show two approaches - first one, where one just takes the bass out of the chord and proceed as usual plus having the option to add another layer/voice on top of the chord (either to complement the chord or to create a melody counter-melody) and the second one where one can explore the colorful quality of these rootless voicings and use them at will, mostly as a juxtaposition of that particular color over a melody without any tonal or harmonic implications. Enjoy!
