The minor 251 progression in the final measures of the bridge is a nice place to add some altered voicings and upper structure triads.
In this lesson, we explore extended and altered harmony, upper structure triads, and some interesting applications of diminished chords & harmony.
Upper Structure Triads instantly turn your jazz playing from simple-sounding to elegant and sophisticated. We cover drills and exercises for all levels of players.
