💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In this video, I show you how to resolve to any chord using an “applied chord”.
Applied chords appear in chord progressions all the time.
The concept is to use chords outside of the key to target chords inside the key.
Learning about applied chords was a turning point for me in my understanding of music theory.
In the lesson, I take you through a fun and simple exercise up and down the neck to internalize two types of applied chords.
By the end of the lesson, you’ll have another tool for coming up with creative chord progressions and for analyzing chord progressions you encounter.
I hope you enjoy this lesson and find it beneficial.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Thanks! :)
