3 Ways To Play A Sus Chord
![](https://jazzpianoschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/280c-wordpress-1024x507.png)
Sus chords can be mysterious but with the 3 different types of sus chords I’m going to show you today, you’ll know exactly where, when and how to use them. The first sus chord will be more of a general, space sound you can use over the majority of dominant chords in tunes. The second one will be more for ballads to pull at the heart strings. And the third will be more for a dirty, gritty, soulful sound like in the blues.
Enjoy!

So if improvisation is spontaneous…how do we practice the art of spontaneity? There are a couple key points that make improvisation sound good. No matter how many fancy tools you throw on top like the blues scale, pentatonics, half whole, scale, lydian augemented scale, the foundation still applies. In this podcast I’ll show you the BEST improvisation exercise you can use through out your entire career no matter HOW good you get. I still use it to this day.
3 Must Know Jazz Piano Licks
![](https://jazzpianoschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/278-wordpress-1024x507.png)
The 3 jazz piano licks included in this lesson are important for a couple reasons. One, they contain both scalar motion and arpeggiated thirds. Most jazz piano improvisation contains both of these movements very frequently. Two, they contain chromatic motion. Chromatic motion is extremely important in bebop to slide into chord tones or move around them to create tension. Third, these three licks emphasize the thirds of each chord in this two-five-one progression. By emphasizing the thirds, of chords, you will reflect the harmony of progressions and create beautiful solos.
Most importantly, in this lesson, I go further than just showing you the licks, I teach you how to analyze them and extract improvisation lego building blocks to use on your own. This will allow you to spontaneously create improvisation freely rather than waiting for a specific meausre or phrase in a tune and regurgitating a memorized lick.
You’ll be able to build solos your self based upon what you want to play. Just like building legos!
