The Method

The Beautify Ladder

Every chord can be leveled up — subtlest first, boldest last. Most rungs move only one finger.

  1. 1

    Add color tones

    add9, add11, 6, 6/9 — keep the quality, layer one color note.

  2. 2

    Suspend & release

    sus2 / sus4 — swap the 3rd for tension, then resolve back.

  3. 3

    Sevenths

    maj7, m7, dom7 — the biggest instant jazz/soul upgrade.

  4. 4

    Slash chords & bass motion

    a non-root in the bass for a walking or descending line.

  5. 5

    Inversions & voicing moves

    same notes, new order, for smoother voice leading.

  6. 6

    Extensions & alterations

    9, 11, 13 and altered dominants for full color.

  7. 7

    Voicing techniques

    drop-2/3, rootless, quartal, upper-structure triads.
