Speaking of Harmony - Episode 44 - The Adjacent 5th Chord

Published: April 29, 2020, 6 p.m.

In this episode I address a very requested subject - my use of what I call the "Adjacent 5th Chord". I show several ways I apply this sound - as part of a diatonic/tonal harmony scenario, also as part of a pedaled parallel progression where the use of the chord color is the driving force and at last I address the way I also use the chord through the lens of its intervals - considering the "Quintal/Fifth" aspect of the structure and expand its sound into different sonic areas. Enjoy!
