Develop hand independence for Piano with sixteenth-note exercises by Jason Zac. In this lesson, we use Open (spread) voicing in the Left hand with a soulful chord progression following a sixteenth note groove pattern. While this happens in the left hand, we embellish the chords with extended harmony in the right hand (upper extensions) to develop a jazz flavor. To add to the independence, the right hand will work on playing these chords as the Pulse (quarter notes) 00:00 Performance
