Monarcheon Posted June 23, 2017 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. Cheers--- 1 Quote

Luis Hernández Posted June 23, 2017 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
