Content

This is a long video that is not meant to be watched start to finish (although you could do that if you wanted). It is instead meant to be a display of how I work out ideas. Feel free to skip around using the YouTube chapters to the sounds that interest you

We take one step closer to the end of Building Chords. Using our lead approach to triads, we simply start adding in the rest of the notes (7's, 2's, 4's, 6's) in as many ways as possible. To keep it organized, today we will just focus on adding 7's and 2's to a variety of triad types. I will be demonstrating how I approach practicing something like this, the valuable things I focus on, and my process of actually practicing fun stuff. Hopefully you can grab some cool ideas!

Use YouTube chapters to navigate to the various sounds:

1 - Major triad with 7 and b7
2 - Minor triad with 7 and b7
3 - Major triad with 2 and b2 (and the 7's)
4 - Minor triad with 2 and b2 (and the 7's)
5 - Augmented and Diminished with 7's and 2's
