Our focus in this lesson is on the drop-2 voicing technique.<\/p>\n

The drop-2 voicing technique is one of the several voicing techniques that every intermediate pianist can sophisticate his chords with.<\/p>\n

In gospel and jazz styles, the drop-2 voicing technique is used commonly to add variety to regular seventh and extended chords and that’s why we’re dedicating this third lesson in our 5-week voicing techniques program.<\/p>\n

So, if you invest the next 15 minutes or so in this blog, you’ll learn about the drop-2 voicing technique and how it can be applied in chord progressions.<\/p>\n

The Drop-2 Voicing Technique – Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n

Before we go into studying the drop-2 voicing techniques, let’s refresh our minds on the concept of voicing.<\/p>\n

A Short Note On The Concept Of Voicing<\/h3>\n

Voicing in music theory is concerned with the consideration of the notes of a chord as voices. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The term voicing may not be familiar to you, however, I’m certain that you know what the term voice<\/em> means.<\/p>\n

There are basically four voice-parts in music:<\/p>\n

Soprano<\/strong> which is the first voice<\/p>\n

Alto <\/strong>which is the second voice<\/p>\n

Tenor <\/strong>which is the third voice<\/p>\n

Bass <\/strong>which is the fourth voice<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The concept of voicing is concerned with the consideration of the tones of a chord as voices. For example, the notes of the C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…can be considered as voices:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • B<\/strong> is the soprano (or first) voice<\/li>\n
  • G<\/strong> is the alto (or second) voice<\/li>\n
  • E <\/strong>is the tenor (or third) voice<\/li>\n
  • C<\/strong> is the bass (or fourth) voice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Beyond the consideration of the notes of a chord as voices, there are techniques used in the rearrangement of these voices and the drop-2 voicing technique is one of them.<\/p>\n

    So, let’s go ahead and breakdown the drop-2 voicing technique.<\/p>\n

    A Breakdown Of The Drop-2 Voicing Technique<\/h3>\n

    The drop-2 voicing technique is a technique that rearranges a chord by the octave transposition of the second voice in the chord.<\/p>\n

    In the C major seventh chord where:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • B<\/strong> is the soprano (or first) voice<\/li>\n
    • G<\/strong> is the alto (or second) voice<\/li>\n
    • E <\/strong>is the tenor (or third) voice<\/li>\n
    • C<\/strong> is the bass (or fourth) voice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The transposition of the second voice (which is G):
      \n
      \n…to a lower octave (to G):
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the C major seventh chord:
      \n
      \n“Pay Attention To This…”<\/em><\/p>\n

      The octave transposition of the second voice in a chord (to a lower octave) produces its drop-2 voicing. For example, the octave transposition of the the second voice in the E minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…which is B:
      \n
      \n…to its lower octave (which is B):
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the E minor seventh chord:
      \n<\/p>\n

      Attention:<\/strong> The second voice of the chord that is transposed is to be played with the left hand.<\/p>\n

      For example, in the drop-2 voicing of the E minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…the B:
      \n
      \n…is to be played with the left hand while the remainder notes (E-G-D):
      \n
      \n…are to be played with the right hand.<\/p>\n

      Application Of The Drop-2 Voicing Technique In Chord Progressions<\/em><\/h2>\n

      To take you further in this lesson, we’ll be learning how chord progressions can be approached using the drop-2 voicing technique.<\/p>\n

      The 2-5-1 Chord Progression Using The Drop-2 Voicing Technique<\/h3>\n

      The 2-5-1 chord progression consists of a root movement from the second tone of the scale, to the fifth tone of the scale, then to the first tone of the scale.<\/p>\n

      In the key of C major:
      \n
      \n…a 2-5-1 root movement progresses from D (which is the second tone):
      \n
      \n…to G (which is the fifth tone):
      \n
      \n…to C (which is the first tone):
      \n
      \n“Then The Chords…”<\/em><\/p>\n

      Over D:
      \n
      \n…is the D minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \nOver G:
      \n
      \n…is the G dominant seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…and over C:
      \n
      \n…is the C major seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe second voice in the D minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…is A:
      \n
      \nThe octave transposition of A:
      \n
      \n…to A:
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the D minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe second voice in the G dominant seventh chord (played in second inversion):
      \n
      \n…is G:
      \n
      \nThe octave transposition of G:
      \n
      \n…to G:
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the G dominant seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe second voice in the C major seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…is G:
      \n
      \nThe octave transposition of G:
      \n
      \n…to G:
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the C major seventh chord:
      \n
      \n“Altogether, Here’s The 2-5-1 Chord Progression…”<\/em><\/p>\n

      The D minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe G dominant seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe C major seventh chord:
      \n
      \nAttention:<\/strong> It is recommended that you practice this 2-5-1 chord progression shortly before you proceed.<\/p>\n

      The 7-3-6 Chord Progression Using The Drop-2 Voicing Technique<\/h3>\n

      The 7-3-6 chord progression consists of a root movement from the seventh tone of the scale, to the third tone of the scale, then to the sixth tone of the scale.<\/p>\n

      In the key of C major:
      \n
      \n…a 7-3-6 root movement progresses from B (which is the seventh tone):
      \n
      \n…to E (which is the third tone):
      \n
      \n…to A (which is the sixth tone):
      \n
      \n“Then The Chords…”<\/em><\/p>\n

      Over B:
      \n
      \n…is the B half-diminished seventh chord:
      \n
      \nOver E:
      \n
      \n…is the E dominant seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…and over A:
      \n
      \n…is the A minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe second voice in the B half-diminished seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…is F:
      \n
      \nThe octave transposition of F:
      \n
      \n…to F:
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the B half-diminished seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe second voice in the E dominant seventh chord (played in second inversion):
      \n
      \n…is E:
      \n
      \nThe octave transposition of E:
      \n
      \n…to E:
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the E dominant seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe second voice in the A minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \n…is E:
      \n
      \nThe octave transposition of E:
      \n
      \n…to E:
      \n
      \n…produces the drop-2 voicing of the A minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \n“Altogether, Here’s The 7-3-6 Chord Progression…”<\/em><\/p>\n

      The B half-diminished seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe E dominant seventh chord:
      \n
      \nThe A minor seventh chord:
      \n
      \nAttention:<\/strong> It is recommended that you practice this 7-3-6 chord progression shortly before you proceed.<\/p>\n

      Application Of The Drop-2 Voicing Technique In Songs<\/h2>\n

      Let’s go ahead and apply the drop-2 voicing technique in two gospel songs, so you can see how easy it is to apply drop-2 voicings.<\/p>\n
