“The Famous 2-5-1 Chord Progression”
a) Dmin9 Chord (pronounced “D minor ninth chord”)
Bass = D
Right hand = F + A + C + E
b) G13 chord (pronounced “G thirteenth chord“)
Bass = G
Right hand = F + A + C + E
Note: This is the same chord above but since the bass is different, the chord is titled “G13” instead of “Dmin9.”
c) Cmaj9 chord (pronounced “C major ninth chord”)
Bass = C
Right hand = E + G + B + D
Now, play each chord consecutively (right after the other)…
Dmin9 –> G13 –> Cmaj9
*** This type of progression is commonly heard in jazz and worship music! I hope you enjoyed … see you tomorrow!
