If you’re interested in learning how beginners approach the 2-5-1 chord progression, this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n

The 2-5-1 chord progression is arguably the strongest chord progression in music. Although it is regularly played by intermediate and advanced players, it’s possible for any beginner to play it as well.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re a beginner, with a basic knowledge of how to play a few songs on the piano, and probably heard of the 2-5-1 chord progression, but don’t know how to go about it.<\/p>\n

This lesson will give you a insider’s view of it and also show you how you (or any beginner) can play the 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n

The 2-5-1 Chord Progression – Explained<\/h2>\n

The Preliminaries<\/h3>\n

There are eight notes in the major key and these notes are also known as\u00a0degrees<\/em>. For example, in the key of C major:
\n<\/p>\n

C<\/strong> is the first<\/em><\/p>\n

D<\/strong> is the second<\/em><\/p>\n

E<\/strong> is the third<\/em><\/p>\n

F<\/strong> is the fourth<\/em><\/p>\n

G<\/strong> is the fifth<\/em><\/p>\n

A<\/strong> is the sixth<\/em><\/p>\n

B<\/strong> is the seventh<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Chords can be formed on every degree of the scale in a major key. These chords are known to music scholars as scale degree chords. <\/em>Due to the fact that this lesson is for beginners, we’ll focus on the triads for every degree (or note) of the scale.<\/p>\n

“Check Them Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

On the first degree (which is C):
\n
\n…is the C major triad:
\n
\nOn the second degree (which is D):
\n
\n…is the D minor triad:
\n
\nOn the third degree (which is E):
\n
\n…is the E minor triad:
\n
\nOn the fourth degree (which is F):
\n
\n…is the F major triad:
\n
\nOn the fifth degree (which is G):
\n
\n…is the G major triad:
\n
\nOn the sixth degree (which is A):
\n
\n…is the A minor triad:
\n
\nOn the seventh degree (which is B):
\n
\n…is the B diminished triad:
\n
\nOn the eighth degree (which is C):
\n
\n…is the C major triad:
\n<\/p>\n

How Chord Progressions Are Formed<\/h3>\n

Chord progressions can be formed from scale degree chords. For example, a chord movement (in the key of C major) from chord 1:
\n
\n…to chord 3:
\n
\n…produces a 1-3 chord progression.<\/p>\n

The <\/em>1 and 3 <\/strong>in the 1-3 chord progression are derived from the chords used in the chord progression:<\/p>\n

Chord 1<\/p>\n

Chord 3<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following the same procedure, chord progressions can be formed.<\/p>\n

The 2-5-1 Chord Progression<\/h3>\n

Using the numbers 2, 5, and 1, we can decode that a 2-5-1 chord progression is basically a chord progression between the following scale degree chords:<\/p>\n

Chord 2<\/p>\n

Chord 5<\/p>\n

Chord 1<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\nChord 2 is the D minor triad:
\n
\nChord 5 is the G major triad:
\n
\nChord 1 is the C major triad:
\n
\nWhen the above mentioned chords are played in a regular succession, it is known as the 2-5-1 chord progression. Using the same procedures, the 2-5-1 chord progression can be played in any key.<\/p>\n

The 2-5-1 Chord Progression For Beginners<\/h2>\n

The 2-5-1 chord progression is very vital in harmony, especially in gospel and jazz styles. Research has proven that the 95% of the time, the 2-5-1 chord progression can be played at the end of a song<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although the 2-5-1 chord progression is played by intermediate and advanced players, and most beginners are left out, it’s still possible for a beginner to learn how to play it using triads and the dominant seventh chord.<\/p>\n

The Chords<\/h3>\n

There are three chords in the 2-5-1 chord progression:<\/p>\n

Chord 2<\/p>\n

Chord 5<\/p>\n

Chord 1<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Let’s Breakdown The Chords In The Key Of C Major…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Chord 2 is the D minor triad:
\n
\nChord 5 is the G dominant seventh chord:
\n
\nChord 1 is the C major triad:
\n<\/p>\n

Inversion Of The Chords<\/h3>\n

Beyond the knowledge of the chords, it’s important for us to briefly cover the inversion that the chords would be played in, before we proceed.<\/p>\n

Chord 2:
\n
\n…would be played in its first inversion:
\n
\n…while chord 5:
\n
\n…would be played in its third inversion:
\n
\n…then chord 1:
\n
\n…[just like chord 2] would be played in its first inversion:
\n<\/p>\n

The 2-5-1 Chord Progression<\/h3>\n

Putting all the chords in their respective inversions, we’ll have a 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n

“Check It Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Chord 2:
\n
\nChord 5:
\n
\nChord 1:
\n<\/p>\n

Application Of The 2-5-1 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n

“…To A Gospel Song”<\/em><\/h3>\n

In the song Oh How I Love Jesus, <\/em>the 2-5-1 chord progression can be applied at the end of the song thus:<\/p>\n

Cau-ause he:
\n
\n…first loved:
\n
\n…me:
\n<\/p>\n

“…To A Nursery Rhyme”<\/em><\/h3>\n

In the nursery rhyme Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, <\/em>the 2-5-1 chord progression can be applied at the end of the song thus:<\/p>\n

What:
\n
\n…you:
\n
\n…are:
\n<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

Congratulations! You can play and apply the 2-5-1 chord progression, and that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Before the next lesson where we’ll be learning how to play the 2-5-1 chord progression in all 12 major keys, try using the 2-5-1 chord progression to end other songs.<\/p>\n

All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
