This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Music YouTube

Masashi Hamauzu’s music is known for its rich, colorful vibes, and 8bitMusicTheory breaks down his secret sauce: the “Sus Chord Slash Chord.” From there, you’ll learn how to layer in a dreamy Minor 11, a jazzy Maj 13, and the floating Maj 7#11, plus a bright first-inversion Maj 2.

By the end, you’ll see how to fuse these chords into a lush, cinematic progression worthy of any Final Fantasy soundtrack—no magic crystals required!
