🎹 3/4 Time Doesn't Have to Feel Weird!

Playing in 3/4 time can feel awkward at first. I’m going to show you a simple way to make comping in 3/4 feel natural using a few essential rhythmic ideas. You'll learn 3 simple patterns to help you internalize swing feel in a jazz waltz.

I’ll demonstrate these rhythm patterns using the standard "Someday My Prince Will Come" so you can hear how the same voicings feel completely different when the rhythm changes. If 3/4 time has ever felt stiff or confusing, this approach will help you internalize the groove and feel more comfortable comping in jazz waltz settings.
