I'm wanting to learn more about creating interesting chord progressions using interesting chords. I got turned on by shmanges newest trick which is a really cool prog. which goes Dm, Dm/maj7, Fmaj6, Bm7b5, then Em7, A7, Em7, A7.
My question is, are there any secrets or tips to how to effectively use some of these interesting chords in a progression, and also, why does this work? Is there a formula for cool sounding progressions like this that I can learn?
Oh, one more thing-.. What's a maj6 chord? I've heard of a 6 chord and a maj7 chord but not maj6.
Thanks for the help guys.
