Learn how to thicken chord progressions without changing harmony by using constant upper-structure voicings and pentatonic-based shapes.
This lesson demonstrates a practical method for making simple progressions sound richer by adding fixed upper-structure notes (like fifths or pentatonic shapes) while keeping the original chords intact. It covers choosing safe tensions in-key, handling out-of-key major triads with Lydian, and using substructures of the flat-3 minor pentatonic as constant voicings across changing chords. Includes audio examples and an alternate version that expands the idea into a pentatonic-based texture so you can apply the technique to your own arrangements.
