First 4 measures

This session explores the first four measures of Alfie from the pianist's perspective. You'll see and hear how voicings, spacing, rhythm, and subtle substitutions shape a ballad—without turning it into a method or course.

The emphasis is on musical decisions at the piano. If you like learning by watching and listening in context, this is a focused place to spend forty minutes.

  • Diatonic chord substitution ideas
  • Rhythmic approaches to ballads
