Chord Melody Masterclass
Unorthodox 7th Chords (Part II)
About this masterclass
Mike Godette continues his exploration of 7th-chord voicings, showing how every 7th chord can function in two or three different ways when superimposed over different bass notes. Building on Unorthodox 7th Chords (Part I), this class lets you take all the 7th chords you already know and reuse them with entirely new harmonic functions.
What's covered
- Major 7 voicings reused as Minor 9 and Sus13 chords
- Minor 7 voicings reused as Major 9 and Sus9 chords
- Minor 7b5 voicings reused as Dominant 9, Minor 6, and 7#5b9 chords
- Dominant 7 voicings functioning as Dominant 7b5b9 a tritone away
- Mixing and matching these voicings through numerous major and minor ii-V-I examples
For intermediate-to-advanced players who want to multiply the harmonic mileage of voicings they already have under their fingers. Running time: 50 minutes. 15 pages of PDFs included.
