• Deciphering Integrated Chords
• Latin Pop-Jazz Fusion
• Chromatic Harmony Essentials
Chords larger than a triad will contain integrated chord types within their original structure. Once we extend or alter the original chord, (i.e., 9th, 11th or 13th extensions), we can incorporate even more harmonic ideas from the original chord.

The Latin pop-jazz style is an interesting combination of Latin beats mixed with smooth /pop-jazz elements. By blending beats from the bossa and samba feel under a clave along with the combined harmonies of jazz-fusion we find beautiful music emerge through exotic diatonic modes like the Dorian and Mixolydian.

Chromatic Harmony occurs when half-step movements arise from the incorporation of accidentals within a block of chords. The line that develops will be outside the sphere of the diatonic harmony. Notes found in chromatic harmony are not in the same key as those used to create the harmony found in other sections of the same piece. This video demonstrates examples of this process, and it explains how to begin applying the concept.
