How to Jazz Fusion

It is reccomended you read /guides/how-to-jazz first to get some basics (although I will admit jazz fusion is basically its own thing).

Practice Routines

Chord Progressions

  • In a major key, play the 1 as maj7, then play the minor 3rd as maj7 - pokemon does this alot (i.e. Cmaj7 - Eflatmaj7) [1].
  • I flat VII -> this is used in Pokemon music [2].

Chord extensions

Phrasing

Note choises

  • Land on sus notes (2nd and 4th), Masayoshi Takananka does this alot.
