If you listen to music, you’ve definitely heard a “2-5-1″ progression. They are found in just about any type of music — regardless of style, genre, or rhythmical pattern. It is commonly the series of chords that end a song or phrase. However, it can be used in several situations (I can only go over a few in this lesson but encourage you to check out my course for further instruction). In this chord progression, the 2 chord (you’ll learn what this is later on in this lesson) leads to the 5 chord which in turns, produces a strong pull towards the ending chord (which is usually the 1st major chord of the scale). First, let me start by showing you what chords correspond to each tone of a major scale: 1 tone – Major 2 tone – Minor 3 tone – Minor 4 tone – Major 5 tone – Major (dominant) 6 tone – Minor 7 tone – Half Diminished To understand the chart above, you must understand that each tone of a major scale has a chord which goes along with it. For example, the following is a C major scale: (C — D — E — F — G — A — B — C) Each tone above has a matching chord. Simply add the endings of the chart above to the scale as shown below: >C MAJORD MINORE MINORF MAJORG MAJOR / DOMA MINORB HALF-DIMINISHED< To further understand progressions, lets number each chord: 1 = C major 2 = D minor 3 = E minor 4 = F major 5 = G dominant 6 = A minor 7 = B half – diminished 8 = C major Now, to create a “2-5-1″ chord progression (or any numbered chord progression), simply take the 2, 5, and 1 chord out of the entire series of chords above. That is, we would not use the 3,4, 6, or 7 chord. The 2 chord is D minor; the 5 chord is G dominant; and the 1 chord is C major. This right here is the most basic “2-5-1″ chord progression you’ll ever see: Dmin — Gdom — Cmaj min = minor dom = dominant maj = major REFERENCE 1A: D minor chord = (D) + (F) + (A) G dominant chord = (G) + (B) + (D) + (F) C major chord = (C) + (E) + (G) Example: To play a Dminor chord simply play all three of the notes shown above at the same time (D+F+A) Moving on… Now that we have covered some theory (I’m glad that’s out of the way), let me just show you a few chords that I love to play. I will try not to be as theoretic … I will simply give you the chord changes and you’ll have to apply them to your understanding of chords and alterations. All of these progression will be shown in the key of C major… 1) “Churchy 2-5-1 Chord Progression” Style #1 D7 (b9) — G13 —- Cmaj (pronounced “D seven, flat nine —– G thirteenth — C major”) D7 (b9) = Bass * Play “D” ——— F# + A + C + D# G13 = Bass * Play “G” ———- F + A + C + E Cmaj = Bass * Play “C” ———– E + G + C (1st inversion) Example: For D7 (b9), we would play F# + A + C + D# with “D” on the bass (left hand). Inversion just refers to the way the chord is played. Since “C” is the highest note, it is said to be played in its “first inversion” Note: I love playing this chord progression in gospel music. You try playing it and let me know what you come up with! 2) “Churchy 2-5-1 Chord Progression” Style #2 For this progression, every chord will be the same except for the D7 (b9). We will simply play a regular D9 chord. D9 = F# + A + C + “E” (not D#) Notice: The only difference in a D9 and a D7 (b9) is the difference in the “ninth” tone. Since we are not flatting the 9th tone, we use “E” instead of “D#.” D9 = Bass * Play “D” ——— F# + A + C + E G13 = Bass * Play “G” ———- F + A + C + E Cmaj = Bass * Play “C” ———– E + G + C 3). “Contemporary 2-5-1 Chord Progression” Style #1 For this progression, we are going to use: D9 add 6 —> G13 —> Cmaj D9 add 6 = Bass * Play “D” ——— F# + B + C + E G13 = Bass * Play “G” ———- F + A + C + E Cmaj = Bass * Play “C” ———– E + G + C 4.) “Contemporary 2-5-1 Chord Progression” Style #2 This progression will follow the same exact pattern as #3 with the following chord alteration: D9 b5 —> G13 —-> Cmaj *** You are going to have to extend your fingers for this one! D9 b5 = Bass * Play “D” ——— F# + B + C + E + A# G13 = Bass * Play “G” ———- F + A + C + E Cmaj = Bass * Play “C” ———– E + G + C Well, that’s it for this lesson. See ya next time! Here's me playing around a common hymn "I Surrender All" http://www.hulkshare.com/mobile/index.php#goddysweb/i-surrender-g-hillary 7 Likes |

gameboi: it's a new skill I developed cos of that guy that copies all my basslines. And by the way when I play macossa I sometimes leave the transpose at -12 for anykey just to make the notes thick and not easily heard but the feel would be good and killing. Trust me!Eeeeevil mehn...Eeeevil...Chai take it easy ooo |

Dramadiddy: you need to learn the original song first..if u can get the original song, learn it and all will be finenot about learning songs.. Is about knowing progression |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Dramadiddy(m): 7:20am On Jul 22, 2014 |
2rhymestharap: not about learning songs.. Is about knowing progressionWhen you learning song, you learn how to play it in the key it was played, with the original progression....there's nothing as good as playing a song the original way even in church because the person singing that song aso listened to the original, there are people in the congregation, who also listened to the original, so I still say "learn the song".... there's much to learn from a song than just "progression" |

Dramadiddy: wow...a lotta work my brother...firstly...you're a beginner, you dont need 7th and 13ths now, you need to work on the basics :for a starter, he only needs to know the major(1 3 5), minor(1 3b 5) and diminished(1 3b 5b) chords. |

Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 8:12am On Jul 22, 2014 |
Dramadiddy: 9, 11, 13 and their alterationsNot really. What I meant is what chords does one play to create tension before moving to the fourth, fifth and sixth of any scale. |

In a worship session u don't need to learn all the songs to play,since u can play by ear(u can fit it chords according to the tune and rythym of the song) and good for u if u already learnt the song that is sang by the worship leader and most cases modern churches have a pre-arranged worship session, learning the song is a pre-requisite! The most impt Is during choir rendition, learning the song, and infact thorough scoring Is colossal! I think I've shed more light to that! I hope I didn't create more confusion though |

Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by heatmeup(f): 10:03am On Jul 22, 2014 |
Dramadiddy: Hello....as a beginner, what you need to know is that the key to getting better is practice, keep practicing a particular bass line until u get it...you will surely get it...although u don't need to play bass lines, esp when a bass player is around...but it still helps to learn bass lines if no bass player is around... Cheers!thanks |

The keyboard is fun to learn. All you need to do is practise, practise and keep practising and you'll be surprised at how far you've gone. I started learning on my own about 9yrs ago and I remember when I could only play on key C and key F. And now? With personal determination I can now play all 12keys |
