8-Bit Music Theory: How to Write Gorgeous Chords like Masashi Hamauzu

Masashi Hamauzu’s signature sound is built on rich, colourful slash-chord voicings—what this video dubs the “Sus Chord Slash Chord.” You’ll get a guided tour through his go-to textures: the moody Minor 11, the lush Maj13, the dreamy Maj7#11 and that sparkling first-inversion Maj2, complete with timestamps so you can jump right to each deep-dive.

By the end you’ll know how to stack and blend these chords Hamauzu-style, plus there are links to the Patreon, merch shop, Discord and Twitter for even more game-music theory goodies.
