🎹 What Are Passing Chords? 🎹
Passing chords are like musical bridges 🌉 that help you move smoothly from one chord to another. They add color, movement, and a professional feel to your progressions.
🔑 Instead of jumping directly from one chord to the next, you “pass through” an extra chord in between.
This creates tension that resolves beautifully, making your music sound richer and more emotional.
✅ Example:
If you’re moving from C Major to D Minor, you can pass through a C #° (diminished) chord to connect them smoothly.
🎶 Passing chords bring life, spice, and smooth flow to your playing. They are widely used in gospel, worship, jazz, and soulful music.
