● @jaronlopez · 18:37 · 4. September 2026 Make Chords that Vibe with Altered ChordsJaron Lopez explains how altered chord tones function not to create strangeness but to keep progressions grounded in their home key. Using G minor as an example, the video demonstrates how sharp fives, sharp nines, and flat nines are enharmonic equivalents of scale tones that resolve naturally, with practical chord voicing examples.
