How to memorize chord extensions
i have uploaded some new information on how to memorize chord extensions. what i am going to teach you has never been thought up in any piano school and has only been thought up by me.
if you like, you can come and check out my file in the technique and exercises page.

hmmm... i actually find your method of memorizing extensions to be more labor intensive than my current method, which is just that i can "see" all the tones of the scale immediately and don't have to "count" up to them. it's a visual memory thing, like memorizing the topography of a scale. and a chord is just a different way of configuring the tones of a particular scale.
really? because for me, if i think of extensions in terms of scales, it takes me a long time to figure everything out. the methods that i created for myself work better for me. but in your case, the opposite seems to work better for you. i guess its all about what works for a person and what doesn't work.

loveforjazz/scot34/ryan,
on some boards it is considered a breach of internet etiquette to have more than one account.
i know forums that will actually boot you off for creating a second account.
in any case, keep up the good work and keep writing articles. it doesn't matter where a "student" gets their information from as long as it is correct.
just don't try to claim common sense / common knowledge observations as "new or original".
as with any discipline or knowledge, the best way to internalize (aka "memorize") a subject is to use it in context. soon it becomes second nature and there is no more conscious thought process involved.

really? nobody has ever booted me off a forum for having multiple accounts. on yahoo.com, i have like 20 unnecessary accounts that i do not use anymore and i have forgotten all of them. one time, my account was hacked and i lost all my data.
sorry, you got the first 2 correct(loveforjazz, and scot34), but i don't recall ever having an account under the user "ryan".
7 - how do we know you are not loveforjazz/scott34/ryan too?

c major or blue-notes
first you could play the chords as single notes with changed rhythm and sequence. you could add an extra tone for each chord. for example face-> g as a 9th. cegb -> f as a 9th.
or you could play the tones of c major. in fact you are doing this using my first hint. (major c, because alle chords fit into it.)
or what you could do, play the minor 3th (blue 3th) shortly followed by major 3th in every major-chord. this min3th and min7th are called bluenotes.
try using a few notes that are not in the basic tuning (which is c major in this case).

when i started to learn jazzpiano and i was getting dizzy from all the extentions and voicings i worked out method ,which i founding out now is called polychords my basic table was very helpfull and ig goes something like this
to play maj7 chord play min7 in 3rd
min7 maj7 in b3rd
dom7 min7b5 in 3rd
min7b5 minmaj7 in b3rd
experimenting with inversiones of this chords is also ineresting.
now this is playing in 3rd and b3rd but this way can be made tables for the 2,5 ,6 and 7th eg.
to play maj7 play min7 in 2nd
dom7 maj7 in 7th ...
i found it also it an interesting tool for improvizing since as you can think of certain chord as some other chord also you can teoretically carefully use same scales and improv. devices interchangibly ? im still on it finding out
and taking this even farther ,teoretically easy eg.
if you play maj7 with min7 in 3rd you could play that maj7 also playing maj7 in b3rd of mentioned min7 thus you as well are playing
on maj7 another maj7 in 5th ,this way you are playing extention 9 and
+11 or b5 if im not mistaken,and this could possibly go on and on adding other exentions ?
isnt that crazy
