How To Embellish Jazz Chords With Beautiful Chromaticism

A great way to add some surprising sounds to your Jazz Chords and comping is to add chromatic passing notes in the different voices but also as complete chromatic chords.

In this video, I am going to go over some examples of how you can add chromatic passages to your Jazz chords in a few different ways: in the melody, as inner-voice movement, and as complete chromatic passing chords.

Using Chromatic passing notes is a part of jazz and we all know how the greats like Charlie Parker and George Benson use chromaticism in their solos. But you can also use this in your comping in several different ways to get some great sounds.

The PDF of the examples is available on Patreon.
