8.20Voice leading still applies

Accompaniment patterns do not replace voice leading.

Suppose RH chords are:

C:

E-G-C

Am:

E-A-C

F:

F-A-C

G7:

F-G-B

Notice how compactly they move.

Now break these voicings rhythmically.

The result is smoother than arpeggiating unrelated root-position shapes.
