The 251 is a common progression in choro and so we start by exploring chord voicing options for both major 251s, and minor 251s.
Next we apply the choro groove to the 251 progression and 2516 progression. Next we explore some interesting ways to apply the choro groove whilst inverting and fragmenting the C Major chord in our right hand. We start by demonstrating the “fork” over a simple C Major chord. We then introduce standard jazz harmony such as the 251 progression and apply this to the choro groove in both major and minor keys. We start with a closer study of the “fork” rhythmic concept and how this can be played on the piano with either one or two hands. In this lesson we apply the choro groove to major and minor harmony.
