In a musical key there are only 7 possible chords. How can we write new music with such a limited palette of colors?

There are several solutions to this.

You can use extended chords, you can use secondary and chromatic chords and go out of key, you can change key, you can use first or second inversion chords...

... all these are popular solutions. But today I'm giving you an idea from the less-traveled path.

(Of course, you have guessed it from the subject of this email)

Here it is: you can use third inversions chords.

Yes, first inversion and second inversion chords are extremely common - but today I want to talk about the absolutely underrated magic of third inversion chords.

These are found quite rarely (probably because songwriters don't always know about them) and they sound absolutely gorgeous.

All the details on how to play them and write with them in the video above.
