Okay what you just heard there was just our 2-5-1 progression that we learned in the previous lesson with two chords tagged on the beginning of it and those are the 3-chord and the 6-chord. And if you listen to jazz a lot, you’d be able to pick up this progression a lot too. All of this is a 3, 6, 2, 5,1. And if you’re in a major key, the 3 and the 6, and the 2 are always going to be minor chords, minor 7th chords I’m really good for jazz of 2 so pick that out.
So for in the key of G, our 3-chord is going to be a B minor, our 6 going to be an E minor,7th, and then just play 2-5-1 in the key of G. A minor, D7, and GM7. Now you can if you want 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 voice in for that real quick.
Take your middle finger put that on the 5the 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. You can use it the same way you would a regular dominant 7 chord. Then back to the one.
[Demonstration]
I should probably mention to you that these are really basic chords just to get the ideas in the sounds of 3-6-2-5-1’s 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 2-5-1’s and your own 3-6-2-5-1’s in every key that you can possibly imagine.
