Some chords are so famous and popular they got their own name. This lesson teaches several of them, like the Neapolitan Chord, the Augmented Sixth Chord, the Backdoor Chord, Cadential 64, and more. At the end, we try writing music with these popular chords.

I've done lessons on some of these chords and progressions:
