I would love to see this same approach expanded at some point to include the most common extended chords, rootless chords, the basic jazz comp stuff. Although I have lots of chord charts, I am attracted to the idea of building the chords, as needed, from the elemental triad. Seems it would ingrain the harmonic theory much better than methods which focus on simply memorizing lots of shapes. I suspect it would get a bit more complicated and require some consideration of voice leading and such, but I would like to hear your thoughts on the possibility. Thanks for making these tutorial available!
