The Easiest Passing Chord Trick

Become a PianoPig member at http://bit.ly/PianoPigAcademy DOWNLOAD BACKING TRACK: https://bit.ly/YouTubeVault In this video, I'm going to show you an easy trick you can use to add passing chords to your progressions. This is a simple device but can be very powerful if used tastefully and creatively. The idea is to approach the target chords chromatically, whether that be a half-step above, or below. You can even push it to several half-steps away. You want to try and land on the target chord on the beat, and use the chromaticism to build tension. If you have any questions, just drop a comment below. ******************************************* PianoPig is an online platform for piano lessons in HD, covering scales, chords, soloing and more.
