How to Play Soulful, Jazzy Chord Voicings in All 12 Keys with the Power of Chord Recipes!

I used to think that studying chord progressions was the secret to getting the sounds I wanted. But eventually I realized that even the best progressions can still sound awful if played with lousy voicings. I also discovered that a seemingly basic chord progression can be made to sound intricate and modern simply by using quality voicings.

Now, you may be wondering: that’s awesome, but how am I supposed to learn better voicings?

Or maybe you’ve tried to get some jazz chords under your fingers but ended up confused and frustrated by all those weird extensions and alterations. And even if you finally got the hang of a particular voicing… maybe a cool way to play C Minor 9…well, now you have to figure out how to transpose that sucker into other keys so you’re not just playing in C Minor the rest of your life.

The whole thing is such a headache.

But it doesn’t have to be…

You see, the secret to playing better jazz chords is chord recipes.

What’s a chord recipe you ask?

It’s a simple formula for a chord voicing using scale degree numbers.

For example, a C Major scale spelled out with regular note names looks like this: C - D - E - F - G - A - B.

But if you spell it out with scale degree numbers, it looks like this: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7.

Now, check out this delicious chord recipe for CMaj9: 7 - 1 - 3 - 5 - 9 - 5.

Here it is spelled out with note names: B - C - E - G - D - G

That there is some luscious ear candy.

And what’s great about using these recipes in number form is that you can apply them to any major scale, which means that instead of knowing just one voicing, you know twelve!

So, now that you know the process for cookin’ up some tasty chord recipes, you’re gonna need to get yourself a cookbook.

And I’ve got one for you...
