Therefore, keyboardists who are either below or above the intermediate skill level may not really appreciate this lesson.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-5-1 chord progression is one of the most important chord progressions in popular music because of its common place in prominent styles like gospel, jazz, R and B, and so on. As a result we&#8217;re dedicating this lesson to it.<\/p>\n<h2>A Basic Information On The 2-5-1 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n<p>The 2-5-1 chord progression consists of a root movement between the following tones of the scale in the major key:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2nd tone<\/p>\n<p>5th tone<\/p>\n<p>1st tone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, the numbers 2, 5, and 1 are derived from the root notes in the progression.

However, right before we proceed, it&#8217;s important for us to refresh our minds on the term <em>chromatic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>A Short Note On The Term <em>Chromatic<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The term chromatic literally means <em>colorful.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In music theory, any idea (be it a note, scale, interval, chord, or chord progression) that is foreign to a given or prevalent key.<\/p>\n<p>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=CC9933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;any note other than the scale tones in the key are said to be colorful (aka &#8211; &#8220;chromatic&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>The same thing is applicable to scales, intervals, chords, and chord progressions that contain notes that are not in the prevalent key &#8212; which is C major in this case.<\/p>\n<p>So, chromatic variations of the 2-5-1 chord progression are basically other 2-5-1 chord progressions with colorful chords (aka &#8211; &#8220;chromatic chords&#8221;) that are foreign to the prevalent key.<\/p>\n<h3>Variation #1<\/h3>\n<p>Chord 2:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

the C6\/9 chord.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Using these spicy variations of the 2-5-1 chord progression, I have no doubt that your chord arsenal would explode with tons of chords. However, it is important to note that this is directly proportional to the number of keys you practice these progressions on.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, learning this progression in all twelve keys is of the greatest possible importance.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the next lesson!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re covering chromatic variations of the 2-5-1 chord progression in this
