In this lesson, we’ll be focusing on how the 2-5-1 chord progression can be played using the diminished seventh chord.<\/p>\n

The 2-5-1 chord progression is arguably the strongest chord progression in music because it consists of the movement of root notes by a fifth interval.<\/p>\n

From the 2nd tone of the scale to the fifth tone is a fifth and so is the movement from the fifth tone to the first tone<\/em> (more on this later).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Due to the need of passing chords and dynamic chord progressions, the 2-5-1 chord progression has a special place in popular music styles like jazz and gospel music and that’s why we’re dedicating this lesson to learning how to play the 2-5-1 chord progression using diminished seventh chords.<\/p>\n

A Quick Review On The 2-5-1 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n

A chord progression consists of the movement of chords from one tone of the scale to another. The numbers “2-5-1” are used to define the chords used in the chord progression, which are chord 2, chord 5, and chord 1.<\/p>\n

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

The major 2-5-1 chord progression is a chord progression in the major key. For example, in the key of C major:
\n
\nD is 2:
\n
\nG is 5:
\n
\nC is 1:
\n
\nTherefore a 2-5-1 chord progression moves from the D minor seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the G dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…then to the C major seventh chord:

Application Of Diminished Seventh Chords In 2-5-1 Chord Progressions<\/h2>\n

I’m about to take you by the hand and show you step-by-step, how diminished seventh chords can be used to play 2-5-1 chord progressions.<\/p>\n

But before we do that, let’s go ahead and refresh our minds on diminished seventh chords.<\/p>\n

A Short Note On Diminished Seventh Chords<\/h3>\n

A diminished seventh chord consists of a diminished triad and a diminished seventh interval. For example, the only diminished triad in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is the scale-tone chord of the seventh degree (which is the B diminished triad):
\n
\nThe addition of a note that is a diminished seventh interval above the root of the chord (which is Ab):
\n
\n…produces the B diminished seventh chord:

\nAlright! Let’s proceed to learning how 2-5-1 chord progressions can be played using diminished seventh chords.<\/p>\n

Diminished Seventh Chords In Major 2-5-1 Chord Progressions<\/h3>\n

The 2-5-1 chord progression consists of three chords: chord 2, chord 5, and chord 1. Chord 2 and chord 5 have the same chord quality: the dominant seventh flat ninth chord.<\/p>\n

Formation of Chord 2.<\/strong> Chord 2 can be formed by playing a diminished seventh chord that is a half-step above the root note of chord 2.<\/p>\n

On the second tone (which is D):
\n
\n…we can form the D dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord by playing a diminished seventh chord that is a half-step above D (which is the D# diminished seventh chord):
\n
\nSo, the D# diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…played over D:
\n
\n…produces the D dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…which is chord 2.<\/p>\n

Formation of Chord 5.<\/strong> Chord 5 can be formed by lowering the diminished seventh chord of chord 2 by a half-step.<\/p>\n

On the fifth tone (which is G):
\n
\n…we can form the G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord by lowering the diminished seventh chord we previously derived (which is the D# diminished seventh chord):
\n
\n…by a half-step to the D diminished seventh chord:
\n
\nSo, the D diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…played over G:
\n
\n…produces the G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…which is chord 5.<\/p>\n

Formation of Chord<\/strong> 1.<\/strong> Chord 1 can be formed by playing a major seventh chord on the first tone of the scale in the key you’re in.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the first tone is C:
\n
\n…therefore, chord 1 is the C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…played over C in the bass.<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

2-5-1 chord progressions can’t be easier with diminished seventh chords. Mastering these 2-5-1 progression in all the keys might take some time, however, it’s worth it.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent lesson, we’ll go further into the minor 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n
