We build a triad a 4th up from each chord to create a suspended triad fill which smoothens the transitions between the chords in the blues.
An important point with sus chords is that we often resolve the suspended 4th to turn the chord into a regular dominant 7th voicing.
This lesson is designed to deepen your understanding on the application of sus chords (suspended chords) to the 12 bar blues in the key of F.
We explore a fill technique using descending 4th intervals which is an alternative to the suspended triad fill that we explored previously.
In part 2 we create a full solo piano arrangement incorporating chord extensions, suspended chords and altered dominant chords.
Learn how to construct suspended chords and how to apply them to your playing. We explore the theory and apply to well-known tunes.
In part 2 we create a full solo piano arrangement incorporating big 2 handed voicings, suspended chords, altered dominant chords and USTs.
Chord substitutions allow you to add interesting variations to a common progression. We explore tritone subs, suspended chords & passing chords.
Explore inner voice movement for major, minor, and dominant chords. We also examine suspended chord to altered dominant movement.
We will examine the minor line cliche in the A Sections and then discuss the use of suspended chords in the bridge of the tune.
