I&#8217;m talking about those who love adding a touch of Jazz, Gospel, and Neo-soul to their craft.<\/p>\n<p>Just before we go ahead, let&#8217;s be sure that everyone knows what I mean by <em>phat-sounding chords<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;Hey! What Are Phat-Sounding Chords?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever heard a chord that creates an amazing ambience around you?
