"Here I'm going to talk a little bit about close voicings. Now, first I want to illustrate this on a piano. Take a look at the old school Casio here. And, I'll show you that playing close voicings in a piano is very simple, as opposed to guitar as we'll later see. Playing two notes very close together would mean close voicing. So, those two notes together would be close voicing. Now, a chord that's close voicing would use many notes close together at the same time. So, that might be a close voicing chord because the notes are very close, as opposed to a triad. For example, a major chord, in C, the notes are fairly spread out. But close voicing would mean that all the notes are very close together, and as you can see, it's pretty easy to play, because the notes are not far."
