Unleash the power of implied chords! 🎸

Implied chords are a powerful technique that allows you to create rich harmonic textures with fewer notes. By strategically omitting certain notes from a chord, you can suggest a fuller harmony without cluttering the sound. This minimalistic approach can add depth and subtlety to your playing, especially when used in conjunction with other instruments or harmonic layers.

Lets play a ii-V-I in G Major
Am7-D7-GMaj7

Here are a couple of examples

G-C-E = m7-b3-5 = Rootless Am7
F#-C-E = 3-b7-9 = Rootless D9
G-B-E = R-3-6 = G6 (No 5)

F#-C-E = 6-b3-5 = Rootless Am6
F#-C-Eb = 3-b7-b9 = Rootless D7b9
F#-B-D = M7-3-5 = Rootless G Maj7

Similar shapes can be used to imply different chords.
For Example the same shape used for D9 is used for Am6
