These are good ideas. In high school, 40 years ago, I learned these voicings and many more by using your approach and I still remember them so it works. But I would add flash cards into the process. Put each chord name on a flash card. mix them up. Flip them over, and play them without thinking. Each time mix the cards and you will get a new order each time which resembles how you'd sight read them on a chord chart in the real world. Keep each chord type in its own pile. Later make another set, and mix ALL of your chords of different type into a GIANT pile and go through them without hesitation. Flip the card over from the top of the pile revealing the chord, Play it. Next card, flip it over, play it. Once you can do this, you can almost sight read any chord chart.

Great tips. I find my self having great success doing the sameish thing with the circle of 4ths amd 5ths. I start on F and go up the scale on my keys to a C then G exc. The way i change it up is i start on a different inversion of F each time. Being that there are only three inversions i get through every inversion of every major chord in three goes. Next, the minors. After that, the minors under the majors. Following that... well, youll have to pay my internet bill so i can upload it because i just spent all of my time practicing and forgot to go to work... its ok tho because now i can play every chord inversion with its minor companion at any time 👍

@Olivier81961

Well if its chromatic, you move every note a half step up or a half step down. Don't try to go too fast. Make sure you get the hang of it. Visualize the notes you play. After a while you'll be able to remember them by heart. And you'll be able to add speed to it! (It sounds weird to try to teach someone how to practice music when i almost never practice lol.. That's how i learned my maj9, min9 and 13 voicings because i was tired of struggling when i had piano class lol). Anyway, i hope my tips have been useful, have fun practicing it!

If I may, I’d suggest you try transposing them blind. It may be counterintuitive, but I think freeing yourself from the need to visually focus on every chromatic step could be the key here. In general, I believe using those visual feedback loops slows us down, and we need to learn to trust the senses of hearing and touch.

The presenter has an agreeable manner and is showing us some useful things. The speaking style is a little stilted (such strange stresses on "the/thee") and the split infinitives sound like something off Star Trek, which is strange considering the attractive English accent. Just because jazz started in America, this doesn't mean that British jazz musicians need to change the way they speak. I say all this with friendly, constructive intentions and I look forward to more of these informative videos. And I thought the rinse and repeat bit was hilarious.

Well... since beginning he is playing 1 3 13 at left and 9 5 7 at right. To answer your quesiton, he was playing Cmaj13 chord but not the simple triad C major chord.(CEG) E flat and C natural are 9th and 7th key on C major scale. So at this point you have probably realized every keys on the scale can potentially be in the chord while extended. C add2 can be considered as a C9(omit 7).

The 13th (6th an octave up) is an A in the C scale. And you aren't playing an A anywhere in your C major 13th chord. So why are you calling it a C major 13?

If you forget them a month later, you didn't do the exercise for long enough. You need to spend many hours with each voicing, and after you've taken it though this process you need to spend hours inserting it into progressions and standards. Only then will it be fully internalised and naturally appear in your playing.
