We explore some of the most common extensions for major, minor and dominant chords and later in this course we discuss the most effective way to practise these extensions in all 12 keys. To find these chord extensions we must be comfortable with the 12 major scales and have memorised the scales numerically. This lesson provides an introduction to chord extensions, explaining what they are and where they come from.
Extended jazz piano chords create a richer and more complex sound than triads and 7th chords and they are used in jazz music to create more interesting harmonic progressions.
