From Chapter 19. Pick an anchor note from your melody or chord, and see every chord in Shane's palette that contains it. Each chord is grouped by the position the anchor note occupies — root, 3rd, 5th, extension. Click any chord to hear it. The original chord in your progression gets replaced with one of these; listen for the "Ooo… that has possibility!" reaction.
Every chord that contains this anchor note, grouped by the position the note sits in (root, 3rd, 5th, extension). Workflow: write a preliminary progression, pick a lyric moment with a strong anchor note, then audition replacements from this chart at that spot. You’ll get one of three reactions — boring, terrible, or Ooo… — and the last one is what you’re listening for.
