How to use lowered sixth degree to build chords progressions
In building a chord progression, one of the most imortant things is variety.
It is natural that the use of only chords of the major scale is a limit – What can we do about this?
We have to introduce other elements which allow us more variety. This is precisely what we wil do in this lesson and you will learn:
What is the lowered sixth degree.
How to use two different chords on the same degree.
Which inversion chords are better used more frequently in major key?
Which are the degrees on which the inversion chords are less effective.
How to vary the harmonic patterns using inversions.
The introduction of all these elements will allow us to obtain more effective musical results.
