And yet again a very nice video! Thank you so much! It has motivated me to come up with a common tone progression on my own:
|: Am - Bbsus#4 -> Bb - Cadd9 -> C - Eaug -> E(omit5add#11) :|
I think the proper chord symbol for Bbsus#4 is Bb(omit3add#11), but writing it as Bbsus#4 makes the function of that #4/#11 more clear.

Awesome! I'd love to see how you voiced these chords!

@@AlexHeppelmann I simply apply following four-part voice leading:
E E->D D->C C->Bb A; here you could use also a suspension: Bb->A
C Bb G G# E
A F E E C
A Bb C E A
