Part 3/7:
The tutorial starts with a foundational C minor chord and expands into altered and extended chords, like C minor 7, C13 flat 9, and C7 altered. Beato demonstrates how to approach these chords visually on the fretboard, starting with the octave and then tailoring the voicings to include key tensions such as flat nines and sharp fives.
For example, in playing a C13 flat 9 chord, he emphasizes the importance of incorporating the root, flat seven, and flat nine to create a rich, complex sound. By altering the basic chord shapes, players can access a broader spectrum of voicings that fit the harmonic context, especially in jazzy and fusion styles.
