Discover how to go beyond seventh chords in this practical piano tutorial with Tom Donald!
If you already know major 7th chords, minor 7th chords and dominant 7th chords, this lesson will show you how to expand your sound with richer and more colourful harmony using 9th chords, 11th chords and 13th chords, as well as chords with flattened 5th.
Tom demonstrates how to apply these advanced piano chords in real musical situations through smooth piano chord progressions and smart chord voicings that feel natural under the hands. Rather than overwhelming you with complicated theory, the lesson focuses on practical voicings piano players can immediately use to develop muscle memory and a stronger harmonic vocabulary.
