Monarcheon Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Whoa that last note, what? Anyway, more so than jazz, it had a bit of a ragtime feel. You're going to want to experiment with more chord extensions with not such a clear tonicized bass line at all times. Syncopation is key, with some element of it sounding like it was improvised, as that's definitely a major part of how the genre started. What's here is fine, there are some weird inversions/spacings of chords here and there, but I'm just not totally convinced it was what you were going for.

Luis Hernández Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The result is nice. Yes, the last chord is a bit odd in this context. I'm not afraid at all of hearing a Fmaj7/D, but if all the piece is tonal and functional, it makes less sense a chord like this at the very end. Besides, the interval is quite big. I think Monarcheon is right in the suggestions. In that sense, for example, the last part m 25-31 would be a chance to enrich your chords (not only octaves). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
