How to Write Gorgeous Chords like Masashi Hamauzu breaks down the signature lush harmonies that define Hamauzu’s game scores. It all starts with the “Sus Chord Slash Chord,” a versatile tool he leans on for rich color, then dives into the creamy Minor 11 extension, the dreamy Maj13 sparkle, the ethereal Maj7#11 twist, and even a sneaky first-inversion Maj2 voicing.
