Title: 2-5-1
Post by: 4hisglory on May 02, 2005, 12:33:35 PM

On of my biggest hang up with this progression I use to have is:

What quality chord are you suppose to use?? Should it be a Minor, Dominant, Minor7b5, etc...

Well, I finally found out that you can make it anything you want.

Some (breakable) rules to this is:

Major Progression
2 with be minor
5 with be dominant
1 and will be major

Minor Progression
2 will be a minor7b5
5 will be dominat
1.Minor

or you could just go
2 - Dominant
5 - Dominant
1 - dominant

You just have to find what sounds good to you.

Almost circle of 4ths but not quite :wink:

"Key of C"
6-2-5-1                   Am Dm G Cmaj7
or 3-6-2-5-1            Em Am Dm G Cmaj7
or 7-3-6-2-5-1         Bdim Em Am Dm G Cmaj7
or 4-7-3-6-2-5-1       F Bdim Em Am Dm G Cmaj7
or 1-4-7-3-6-2-5-1    C F Bdim Em Am Dm G Cmaj7

This may not sound too good, still need to work on it...  :?:
