Body And Soul Pentatonic Voicings – mDecks Music
Learn how to harmonize the A section of Body and Soul using modern pentatonic voicings and practical arrangement choices.
This lesson demonstrates building five-note pentatonic voicings by skipping notes and applying them to the A section of Body and Soul, with voicing options, inversions, and octave-range considerations. It covers selecting pentatonic scales for each chord type, balancing harmonized and non-harmonized melody notes, and handling special functions like diminished or sub-five chords. Practical examples show how to use voicings in both solo piano and ensemble contexts, plus guidance on when to add roots or change voicings for repeated melody notes. A chart and practice workouts (available in the course) are referenced to help you apply the concepts systematically.
