The 13th Chord Voicing I Use 90% of the Time | Gospel Piano Tutorial In this lesson, I break down my go-to 13th chord voicing that I use 90% of the time to add a modern jazz flavor to gospel piano and hymns. I show you how to build the chord from the 3rd, 7th, and 13th, explain tritone intervals, chromatic movement, and altered dominants, and demonstrate how this voicing transforms traditional progressions into rich, soulful harmony.
