One of the easiest chord progressions anyone can learn on the piano is the 1-4 chord progression.<\/p>\n

There are tons of gospel songs that cycle around the 1-4 chord progression, ranging from O Happy Day, <\/em>to My Redeemer Lives (Hillsong)<\/em>, to God is A Good God (Bishop Paul Morton), <\/em>and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Today, we’ll be approaching the 1-4 chord progression in 12 exciting ways that will spice up your playing and take you to your next level. But before we get into all of that, let’s review the 1-4 chord progression.<\/p>\n

A Review On The Classic 1-4 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n

There are eight degrees in every key (be it a major or a minor key.) In the key of C major:
\n<\/p>\n

C is the first<\/p>\n

D is the second<\/p>\n

E is the third<\/p>\n

F is the fourth<\/p>\n

G is the fifth<\/p>\n

A is the sixth<\/p>\n

B is the seventh<\/p>\n

C is the eighth<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The movement of chords from one degree of the scale to another creates chord progressions.<\/p>\n

The classic 1-4 chord progression is a product of the movement of chords from the first degree of the scale to the fourth degree of the scale – involving the numbers 1 and 4.<\/p>\n

“The 1-4 Root Progression In The Key Of C…”<\/em><\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the first and fourth tones of the scale are C and F. Consequently, a 1-4 root progression in the key of C major entails the movement from C (which is the 1):
\n
\n…to F (which is the 4):
\n<\/p>\n

“Using Triads…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that you already have an idea of the 1-4 root progression in the key of C, let’s go ahead and play triads over the root notes.<\/p>\n

Over C:
\n
\n…we have the C major triad:
\n
\n…which is the chord of the first degree.<\/p>\n

Over F:
\n
\n…we have the F major triad:
\n
\n…which is the chord of the fourth degree.<\/p>\n

12 Exciting Ways Of Playing The 1-4 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n

Alright! Now that we’ve thoroughly reviewed the 1-4 chord progression, let’s go ahead and explore a dozen other exciting ways it can be played.<\/p>\n

“Let’s Take It To The Minor Key…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Although we’re focusing on the 1-4 chord progression in the major key, taking the 1-4 chord progression to the minor key can really add a twist to it and that’s exactly our intention – to spice things up.<\/p>\n

“So, Here We Go…In The Minor Key!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Approach #1<\/h4>\n

We’re in the key of C minor:
\n
\n…and our 1-4 chord progression here entails a movement from the C minor eleventh chord:
\n
\n…to the F minor ninth chord:
\n
\nI’m sure you’ll love the voicing of the C minor eleventh chord. If you really do, you might want to use this C dom 7 [#9,#5] chord:
\n
\n…as a passing chord to the F minor ninth chord.<\/p>\n

Approach #2<\/h4>\n

We’re still in the key of C minor:
\n
\n…however, our underlying scale here is the C dorian scale:
\n
\nThe 1-4 chord progression here is between the C minor ninth chord:
\n
\n…and the F 13[add9] chord:
\n
\nThis 1-4 chord progression can be considered as a 2-5 chord progression in the key of Bb:
\n
\nThe C minor ninth chord is chord 2, while the F13[add9] is chord 5.<\/p>\n

“Classical Musicians Would Love This…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

We just got off the minor key, so, let’s do something that would make you sound like Richard Smallwood or any other classically influenced piano great.<\/p>\n

You don’t need to shy away from the third and fourth approach because it’s for classically trained musicians <\/em>– No! You too can sound like you know what they know if you learn and apply what I’m about to show you.<\/p>\n

Approach #3<\/h4>\n

Here, we’re approaching the 1-4 chord progression using the third inversion of the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…and the first inversion of the F major triad:
\n
\nClassical musicians approach the inversion of chords from two different standpoints – the keyboard style and the chorale style. The chorale style of inversion is used in this 1-4 chord progression.<\/p>\n

Playing the Bb tone:
\n
\n…of the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…on the bass (instead of C), produces the third inversion of the C dominant seventh chord, while playing the A tone:
\n
\n…of the F major triad:
\n
\n…on the bass (instead of F), produces the first inversion of the F major triad.<\/p>\n

Approach #4<\/h4>\n

In this second approach, we’re also moving from the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the F major triad:
\n
\nClassical musicians consider chord tones as voices or voice parts, consequently, the 1-4 chord progression is arranged for the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass voices.<\/p>\n

In the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\nC:
\n
\n…is the soprano voice, E:
\n
\n…is the alto voice, Bb:
\n
\n…is the tenor voice, and C:
\n
\n…is the bass voice.<\/p>\n

“Attention! If You’re A Gospel Musician, Check These Out…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Now that we’ve gone past the first four approaches, let’s explore a couple more ways to play the 1-4 chord progression from a gospel musician’s perspective.<\/p>\n

Approach #5<\/h4>\n

The 1-4 chord progression moves from chord 1 to chord 4, however, gospel musicians use a technique known to them as the walk-up <\/em>to move step wise from chord 1, to chord 2, then to chord 3, and eventually to chord 4.<\/p>\n

Regular progression – 1 > 4<\/p>\n

Walk-up progression – 1 > 2 > 3 > 4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Believe it or not, this sounds like they’re literally walking their way up from chord 1 to chord 4.<\/p>\n

“Check It Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Chord 1:
\n
\nChord 2:
\n
\nChord 3:
\n
\nChord 4:
\n
\n“Just In Case It Escaped Your Notice…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you see the chromatic descent of the left hand part? From the A minor triad:
\n
\n…to the G# minor triad:
\n
\n…then to the G minor triad:
\n
\n…chromatically<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Approach #6<\/h4>\n

Here’s another technique gospel musicians call the walk down <\/em>– a reverse of the walk up technique we just learned.<\/p>\n

In this approach, gospel musicians walk down in the minor key using step-wise root progressions from the first to the fourth degree. In the key of C minor:
\n
\n…the root progression descends from C:
\n
\n…to Bb:
\n
\n…to Ab:
\n
\n…to G:
\n
\n…then to F:
\n
\n“Check Out The Chords…”<\/em><\/p>\n

From the C major triad:
\n
\n…to the Bb major triad:
\n
\n…to the Ab major seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the G minor seventh chord:
\n
\n…then to the F minor ninth chord:
\n
\nSuggested Listening:<\/strong> You can hear this 1-4 chord progression in the bridge section of the gospel song Praise Is What I Do<\/em>.
\nPraise:

\n<\/p>\n

“If Salsa Music Appeals To You, Try This One Out…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

The emphasis in salsa music is on the rhythm and not on the harmony. This explains why salsa progressions are usually played with triads and seventh chords.<\/p>\n

Approach #7<\/h4>\n

A typical salsa approach to the 1-4 chord progression would entail a chord movement from the C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the F major seventh chord:
\n
\nAttention:<\/strong> The right hand chords are played with the omission of the root and fifth notes, which are played on the left and are used to create amazing bass lines.<\/p>\n

“Here’s Another Variation…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Chord 1:
\n
\nPassing chord:
\n
\nChord 4:
\n
\nIn this variation, we’re using the C dominant seventh chord as a passing chord to the F major seventh chord.<\/p>\n

“Rock Music Lovers! I Bet You’ll Love This…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Quickly, let’s take a look at the rock musician’s approach to the 1-4 chord progression.<\/p>\n

Approach #8<\/h4>\n

Rock musicians use suspended chords a lot, therefore, it’s common to have a rock musician approach a 1-4 chord progression in the key of C:
\n
\n…by playing a Csus2 chord:
\n
\n…over C and F.<\/p>\n

“Check It Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Chord 1:
\n
\nChord 4:
\n<\/p>\n

“Let’s Jazz Up The Classic 1-4 Chord Progression…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Jazz players can play a handful of complex 1-4 chord progressions. You will do well to learn these two approaches.<\/p>\n

Approach #9<\/h4>\n

The 1-4 chord progression can be played with these two chords:<\/p>\n

The C dominant thirteenth chord (rootless voicing):
\n
\n…and the F dominant thirteenth chord (rootless voicing):
\n<\/p>\n

Approach #10<\/h4>\n

Also check out this jazzy 1-4 chord progression that can be played with these two chords:<\/p>\n

The C dominant ninth chord:
\n
\n…and the F dominant ninth chord:
\n<\/p>\n

“If You’re An R&B or Smooth Jazz Lover, Try This One Out…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

R&B players use a lot of major seventh and major ninth chords. If you’re looking for a sentimental approach to the classic 1-4 chord progression check out approach #11.<\/p>\n

Approach #11<\/h4>\n

You can play a spicier 1-4 chord progression in the key of C by progressing from the C major ninth chord:
\n
\n…to the F major ninth chord:
\n<\/p>\n

“Does Anybody Care For A Bluesy 1-4 Chord Progression?”
\n<\/em><\/h3>\n

Blues musicians use a lot of dominant chords to create the melancholic<\/em> feeling. Check out this final approach.<\/p>\n

Approach #12<\/h4>\n

The 1-4 chord progression sounds bluesy when played with the C dominant seventh:
\n
\n…and F dominant seventh chord:
\n<\/p>\n
