Hi Lester
As well as more chord vocabulary look into some of the tools like chord substitution and back cycling 5ths that are commonly used in Jazz but will work anywhere. For example easy chord substitutions can be things like changing a G chord to a Bm It works because Bm is basically a Gmaj7 without the G that would work in the keys G major and D major. You can work this out for every chord in the diatonic scale. Backcycling 5th is just pretending the next chord in a progression is the I chord and inserting the V chord before it For example in a chord progression Dm G7 Cmaj7 you could make it Dm Dmajor G7 Cmaj7 Where the D major is the 5th chord in G which is the next chord in the progression. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Chord Chemistry is my favorite book on this topic. There is also a chords book by Joe Pass which is very inspiring.
The secret here is to learn more about harmony and theory to be able to use the chords that you learn. It doesn't make sense to learn lots of chords but don't know how and where to use them. For this I recommend you to read about: - Tonalities - Chord functions - Extended Chords - Modal Interchanges - Substitutions -------------------- My lessons
