[Am] [D] [G]
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.
