Hey fam ,I want to know the different ending progressions musicians in traditional music.
thanks
-
Do you know the standard 3 6 2 5 1 progression?

Hey, I'm sorry--after all these years, I'm still not getting the number system.
What does 36251 mean? and can you give me an example--say in F or Eb?

You must learn your scales...in the key of F major...
F=1
G=2
A=3
Bb=4
C=5
D=6
E=7
apply this concept to all keys with the scales...and you're be on your way...

Okay--I can see that---but what do YOU ACTUALLY PLAY? I still don't get it---I have purchased Hear & Play --"The Secrets to Playing Piano by Ear"---okay--but still lost!
Thanks

You see, I'm not a novice---I've been playing piano for over 30 years---I know that I am doing this BUT---If you ask me to play a certain progression, I don't know what you've talking about.
I did recently get back into lessons---the teacher (a Master Music teacher) honestly didn't know what to do with me-----there was so much I know and so much I didn't know---I think he was frustrated. He quit me.
I've played for many churches in the past and am playing for one now. I really want to get it right--and do a good job. People tell me I'm doing good--but I know I should be better than I am now.
That's why I want to learn---can you help?
Thanks

I am still learning new and different techniques as well. The 36251 are the numbers for different tones of a scale. Remember F-1,G-2,A-3,B-4,C-5,D-6,E-7,F-8. Chord tones played as a major chord are 1,4 and 5 while minor chords tones are 2,3 and 6 while the 7th tone is played as diminished in this particular scale. As you play around with this progression look at the circle of fifths and how each tone relates to it as well. Align the numbers on the circle of fifths and note the positions of the numbers in comparison to progression. I hope this helps.

Thank you I'll try it---I have several diagrams of the Circle of 5ths. I saw a diagram of
C=12:00 F=1:00 Bb=2:00 Eb=3:00 Ab=4:00 Db=5:00 Gb(F#)=6:00 B=7:00 E=8:00 A=9:00 D=10:00 G=11:00
AND I'VE SEEN IT WRITTEN JUST THE OPPOSITE!
C=12:00 G=1:00 D=2:00 A=3:00 E=4:00 B=5:00 F#(Gb)=6:00 Db=7:00 Ab=8:00 Eb=9:00 Bb=10:00 F=11:00
Which is correct or which is easier to comprehend with what you're saying?

In the forms that you outlined, notice how the first proceeds by fourths and the second form by fifths both are correct. Let take a look at the "C" at 12:00 in the first form, F is at 1:00 and G is at 11:00. Clock -wise is a fourth and counterclockwise is a fifth, Progression 1, 4, 5,1. The second form with C at 12:00, G is 1:00 and F is 11:00, clockwise is a fifth and counterclockwise is a fourth, Progression 1, 5, 4, 1. Which -ever form you decide to use align the tonal numbers within the scale in which you are playing. Again remember, 1,4,5 apply to the major chords while 2,3 & 6 are played as minor chords with 7 played as diminished. I hope this is helpful. God Bless!!! :)
