Comping Exercise 20 Step-by-step – mDecks Music
Step-by-step guided workout that breaks down Exercise 20 from The Art of Comping into preparatory drills, voicing details, and progressive practice steps.
A focused, playable walkthrough of Exercise 20 that teaches the preparation exercise, the final voicings (including diminished and upper‑structure voicings), and key modulation tricks. The lesson shows how to split chords between hands, replace roots with extensions, and add tensions like whole‑step and sharp‑9 colors. It gives a clear practice sequence: learn the prep in all keys, practice measures 1 and 3 with backing, add tensions and altered dominant voicings, then integrate the full workout and modulations. Includes guidance on recognizing guide tones and applying the voicings across keys so you can internalize the exercise without reading notation.
