But before then, let&#8217;s do a thorough review on the minor 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Is A Minor 2-5-1 Chord Progression?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Every key (whether major or minor) has eight degrees:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The first degree is the <strong>tonic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second degree is the <strong>supertonic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The third degree is the <strong>mediant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fourth degree is the <strong>subdominant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fifth degree is the <strong>dominant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The sixth degree is the <strong>submediant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The seventh degree is the <strong>subtonic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The eighth degree is the <strong>octave<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The harmonic movement of chords from one degree in the key to another creates a chord progression. For example, in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the movement from the C major triad (which is the chord of the first degree):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the E minor triad (which is the chord of the third degree):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces a 1-3 chord progression. It&#8217;s a 1-3 chord progression because of the harmonic movement from chord 1 to chord 3.<\/p>\n<h3>The Minor 2-5-1 Chord Progression &#8211; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The harmonic movement from the chord of the second degree to the chord of the fifth degree, then to the chord of the first degree in a minor key produces a minor 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing to note is that the minor 2-5-1 chord progression is in the minor key. So, simply put, the minor 2-5-1 chord progression can be defined as a 2-5-1 chord progression in a minor key.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of A minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a 2-5-1 root progression entails a movement from B (the second degree):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to E (the fifth degree):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to A (the first degree):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s The Minor 2-5-1 Chord Progression Using Seventh Chords&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Using the scale degree seventh chords of the A harmonic minor scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,Gs,A,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the A natural minor scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the minor 2-5-1 chord progression can be played by progressing from the B half-diminished seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,B,D,F,A,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the E dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,Gs,B,D,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;then to the A minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,A,C,E,G,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Concept Of Mutual Intervals<\/h2>\n<p>Every chord, irrespective of its size, class, and quality, can be broken down into intervals. For example, the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be broken down into the following intervals:<\/p>\n<p>C-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a major third interval.<\/p>\n<p>C-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>C-B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,B,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a major seventh interval.<\/p>\n<h3>The Breakdown Of A Seventh Chord Into Mutual Fifth Intervals<\/h3>\n<p>The intervals that a chord can be broken down into are known as its intervallic components, and a seventh chord can be broken down into mutual intervals. For example, the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be broken down into two mutual perfect fifth intervals:<\/p>\n<p>C-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>E-B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,B,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is also a perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, all seventh chords can be broken down into mutual fifth intervals, and can be applied to the minor 2-5-1 chord progression. Proceed to the next segment to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Play The Minor 2-5-1 Progression Using Mutual Intervals<\/h2>\n<p>The minor 2-5-1 chord progression can be played using the concept of mutual intervals.

Consequently, we&#8217;ll need to apply certain voice-leading principles that will aid smoothness in the chord progression.<\/p>\n<h3>Voice-leading Considerations For The Minor 2-5-1 Chord Progression<\/h3>\n<p>In music theory, it&#8217;s no longer a secret that in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/cyclical-progressions\">cyclical chord progressions<\/a> (where the root movement is in fourth or fifth intervals), successive chords have notes in common. For example, the B half-diminished seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,F,A,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the E dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Gs,B,D,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;have B and D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in common &#8211; and that&#8217;s two notes.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, in the chord progression from the B half-diminished seventh chord to the E dominant seventh chord, the notes both chords have in common are retained, while other chord tones move to the nearest possible options. The retention of B and D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in the
