The System: The BAGED Framework for Exotic Chords

The same great, common-sense framework you've already mastered applies here. The system is identical. The shapes are just our new advanced ones.

For any exotic chord, these five shapes always appear in the same order as you move up the neck: B-A-G-E-D. It's that same reliable sequence. You've already got it down. Now, you'll just apply it to your most sophisticated harmony.
