So What Chord Voicing
-Because So What Chord is ambiguous and doesn't need to resolve anywhere, you can move it around the piano. This can be done:
Diatonically:- Only using notes within the key
(Caveat: interval between F & B is a tritone!)
Parallel Motion - Keeping the true/classic So What Chord Sharp
| Starting Note |
