This chord progression in C uses Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished, Sus4, 6th, Major 7th, Dominant 7th and other similar chord forms to achieve 'smooth transitions' between chords. Mostly in an effort to challenge myself to find new sounds... new to my ears... in fairly easy-to-finger chord movements on the banjo fingerboard. I would cite Mel Bay and Jethro Burns among numerous others who were 'chord masters' that could generate what I find to be amazingly cool, smooth-sounding, advanced harmonies on their respective instruments. This exercise represents my own desire to achieve that same goal.

See NEW TABS page for a complete MIDI sound sample of this exercise.
