Let me know if there are other tunes or jazz lessons you guys would like me to dive into? Hope you all enjoy the reharmonization video and the 2 different Misty chord charts. This is a fundamental jazz chord technique that essentially takes a dominant chord and substitutes it with another dominant chord 6 half steps higher. I’m also using a tritone substitution in the last line.This diminished resolving to major is a jazz theory technique I learned from Bill Evans. Then, I finally resolve to the Ebmaj7 chord. To create some forward motion I’m harmonizing it in the very beginning with an Eb diminished 7th chord. The first traditional chord of Misty is usually just a basic Ebmaj7.I wanted too add some interesting sounding jazz harmony into the mix. Most people just play the first 2 notes as pickup notes. In the very beginning I’m harmonizing the 1st part of the melody with a dominant 7th sus going to a dominant 7th.Reharmonized Misty Chordsģ Techniques I’m Using To Spice Up The Misty Chords You’ll get much more people taking notice if you play these chords below.

Make sure you watch the performance and lesson on these new Misty chords below. As you can see there is a lot of inner voice motion, delayed resolution, tritone substitutions, and some other voodoo stuff. Here is the chord chart for the reharmonized chords. Thanks to Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson for their inspiration in building these Misty Chords for the 21st century. If you haven’t seen the video check it out here: Misty reharmonization lesson.
