Lesson Description:
What do the chord progressions of Blackbird by The Beatles, On The Road Again by Willie Nelson, Creep by Radiohead, Something by The Beatles, and the classic jazz standard All of Me have in common? They all include chromatic chords! Guitar chords from outside the key (non-diatonic chords). Millions of songs use a chromatic chord progression as an alluring harmonic compositional device. This device multiplies the amount of chords available to songwriters. Known as chromatic harmony or chromatic chords or non diatonic chords, this tool offers composers more emotional leverage to draw us in with. In this week's lesson I explain two of the most common types of chromatic chords and I show how each of the songs listed above use them. The two types are modal mixture chords and applied chords (or secondary chords) such as secondary dominants.

Chromatic guitar chords are such an awesome harmonic composing device for guitarists and songwriters. Some of the coolest chord progressions of all time are chromatic chord progressions that use either applied chords like secondary dominant chords or modal mixture. Music theory knowledge of these non diatonic chords can open doors to new possibilities for your songwriting or your understanding of what’s happening in the songs you love.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)

Thanks, Res!
Ok that's a good amount of chord choices to barrow/use but still not sure how to use them to move chromatically. Maybe a follow up on this lesson where you take a common progression and insert them to show when it works? thanks!
Good theory! thanks
