There is such a benefit to playing a different instrument that helps you come up with things you'd never do on guitar.

I can play a little piano, enough to get myself in trouble

So I was mucking about with the same old diatonic progressions that most pop music ballads use in A, when I hit an F in the bass, and as luck would have it, it sounded good.
So I fooled around with the right hand to see how it fitted in there and also worked out the notes of the full chord.

It turns out it was a C#7 in the 1st inversion and it sounds really good going from a F#m to a D or D to F#m rather than the normal E chord.

Something I wouldn't have discovered by accident on guitar.

So have a play putting the IIIM7 1st inversion in your progressions that normally go from vi V IV or IV V vi
