Need help with Oscar Peterson left hand rhythm.
Hello everyone,
so recently I started transcribing Reunion Blues by the Oscar Peterson Trio in Tokyo, 1964 (it's the first song) and so far the right hand lines have not been a problem. In the left hand, however, I have a problem.
The voicings he uses are most probably 7-9-3-13 and 3-13-7-9 or just playing tritones, since its blues in F (F7-Bb7-C7) so the voicings of the chords I understand.
Im struggling with the timing of playing those chords. I can't clearly understand on what beat he plays the left hand, it seems so random. How can I understand this better and how to practice it?
