    This 3-paragraph chapter overview discusses adding suspensions to every chord in the cycle of dominants from Chapter 3. Mark explains that suspensions add an extra layer of tension and expectation that can help control the "speed" of melodies and elaborate the surrounding harmony. The suspensions also affect how the band will interact with your lines by adding a sense of "speed" which changes the rhythmic flow. Mastering subtle tools like suspensions helps maximize the harmonic effect of lines without adding much extra information, making the improviser more compelling.
