- Use sub rules to add more color

- The four/seven is bad to land on, especially with a major seven
- The major scale can be split up into two tetrachords, the first (C – F) is going away from the tonic, the
second (F – C) is going back to the tonic
- You can add a nine, thirteen, or sixth to a major seventh chord
- For minor chords (typically a ii chord) you can add the 9 or 11
- Don't add these if it's a ii V
- For iii chords, don't add a 9
- Do add 11 (4), 13 (flat-six)
- For i chords, usually people play a melodic minor over top
- Do add 9, 11, 6, major 7
- Add on a very “hip” sound

Dominants:

- Inside dominant, less heavy and less dense


- 9, 11, sharp 11, and 13 are all available to you
- Don't ever play a straight 7 chord
- Outside dominant, more tension and denser
- Flat nine, sharp nine, sharp five, flat five, flat thirteen, sharp 11,

Diminished:

- Don't need to add too much

Augmented:

Intro:

Use a turn around in your intro to set up first chord and tempo – I vi ii V I or iii vi ii V I
Turn around to get to a ii chord: I IV iii vi ii

For your transcription:

Add chords that lead into new chords – especially on held tones
Add chord on the last two notes of M10
Add flat nine to chord in m. 10
Add more altered tones
Add more dominants
Use first progression for intro???? The pedal is good
For outro do a tag, repeat last turn around like three times
Very colorful last chord
