Chords & Harmony - Using Tensions by Ted Wolff

For this month's "chords and harmony" topic I've written up an article focusing on tensions and several ways to use them effectively when comping. Some of the areas discussed include:

  • using tensions to indicate major or minor tonal center
  • available tensions for maj7, min7, min7(b5), dom7, and dim7 chords
  • adding tensions to a blues progression

Hope you find it helpful.
