Crossing Chords

     Any chord type you play (Major, Minor, Dim.) has a crossover chord as well, This is because when extensions are used then you are using all of the tones for that key... As usual we will look at this from the Key of C - The pivot tones for the key of C are the tones B and F. The modifications to these two tones can be to change the B to Bb and the F to F#.

     This should be an interesting chart to study... You should be able to see that you are really just playing basic chords from the other keys, Most of the time really complex chords turn out to fall within our strict theory of staying in one key...
