Chord extensions and alterations

In this lesson, Darius looks at chords "with numbers in them"! ie. chords with notes beyond the triad added or substituted. He also explains altered chords, which refers to chords with one or more diatonic notes replaced by a neighboring pitch in the chromatic sale. Darius uses a few tunes to bring these concepts to life: his own "Reverly Street", and "Maiden Voyage" by Herbie Hancock . Download for this course: Chords With Extensions & Triads PDF
