Smooth Chord Changes

Ray Harmony

Show Notes

If your chord changes sound disjointed, you probably need to use inversions. That's just the fancy word for re-ordering the notes of a chord. For example, Am can be A C E, or C E A, or E A C. So, if your progression is jumping around from one chord to the next, re-order some of the notes to smooth the changes.
