In today's episode I will be approaching a technique that can be used as means to create, release, prolong tension and even preparing the harmonic transitions while you are going from chord to chord. It is a way of creating harmonic interest and depth. Typically, the effect can be found at the end of phrases or in cadences, but you don't have to feel restricted by this, as you will hear.
