Learn an advanced reharmonization trick that creates extended intros for songs that target a minor chord using cascading 7sus4 pivot points.
This lesson shows a step-by-step applied approach to reharmonizing minor targets by finding the relative major, interpolating consecutive V–I cadences, and creating a 7sus4 pivot that can be expanded by whole-step descents. Ariel and Adam demonstrate the technique on Misty, preserving the song’s motif while building a tailored intro using descending parallel 7sus4 transformations. Clear procedural guidance and musical examples make it easy to adapt the trick to other songs that begin or target minor chords.
