_ _ _ _ Okay, what you just heard there was just our 2-5-1 progression that we learned in the previous
lesson [Bbm] with two chords tagged on the beginning of it and those are the 3 chord and the 6
chord.
If you listen to jazz a lot, you'll be able to pick out this progression a [Bm] lot
too.
All it is is a 3, _ _ [G] 6, _ [Am] 2, _ [D] 5, _ [G] 1.
_ _ _ [Bm] If you're in a major key, the 3 and the 6 are the same
and the 2 are always going to be minor chords.
Minor 7th chords sound really good for jazz
stuff too, so pick that out.
So if we're in the key of G, our 3 chord is going to be a
B minor, _ _ _ _ our 6 is going to be an E [Em] minor 7th, _ _ _ _ and then just play a 2-5-1 in the key of G.
[Am] A minor, _ _ _ _ [D] D7, _ _ _ _ [Bm] G major 7th. _
_ _ _ _ Now you can, if you want to, to dress it up a little bit so
it doesn't get too mundane, you can throw a 9 chord in for the 5.
Let me show you the
voicing for that real quick.
Take your middle finger, put it on the 5th fret on the 5th
string. _
Take your index finger and put it on the 4th fret of your D string.
_ _ Then your
ring finger will go on the G string on the 5th fret and your pinky will grab the 5th
fret of the B string and play those 4 notes.
[C] _ _ _ You can [F] use it the same [Bb] way you would [D] a regular
dominant 7th chord.
_ Instead of that, _ _ _ _ [G] do the 1.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] I [Am] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ should probably mention to you that these are really basic chords just to get the ideas
and the sounds of 3-6-2-5-1s and 2-5-1 chord progressions across to you.
You should really
start trying to learn some new voicings that we'll teach you later on and use those chords
to make up your own 2-5-1s and your own 3-6-2-5-1s in every key that you could possibly imagine.
