You arrived at this page because you’re interested in getting some basic information on root progressions.<\/p>\n

A vast majority of musicians are conversant with chord progressions and you can find hundreds of thousands of pages on the internet on chord progressions. But when it comes to root progressions, there’s not so much out there.<\/p>\n

In this introductory lesson, we’ll be learning what a root progression is and its relationship with chord progressions (a more familiar term). But before we do that’ let’s have a brief discussion on chord progressions.<\/p>\n

A Short Note On Chord Progressions<\/h2>\n

The movement from one chord to another produces a chord progression and these chord progressions are described using the number system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the movement from one of these scale-tone chords to another produces a chord progression:<\/p>\n

C major (the 1-chord):
\n
\nD minor (the 2-chord):
\n
\nE minor (the 3-chord):
\n
\nF major (the 4-chord):
\n
\nG major (the 5-chord):
\n
\nA minor (the 6-chord):
\n
\nB diminished (the 7-chord):
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The chord progression from the 1-chord to the 4-chord:<\/p>\n

1-chord:
\n
\n4-chord:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…is known as a 1-4 chord progression.<\/p>\n

“What Is A Root Progression?”<\/em><\/h2>\n

The best way to start is with an explanation of the concept of root progressions. Then, we’ll proceed to learning diatonic and chromatic root progressions.<\/p>\n

Root Progressions — Explained<\/em><\/h3>\n

The movement of the lowest chord tones in a chord progression produces root progressions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a chord progression from the 1-chord to the 4-chord:<\/p>\n

1-chord:
\n
\n4-chord:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…you can clearly see that the lowest tones are C and F respectively:<\/p>\n

C:
\n
\nF:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the root progression in this case is the 1-4 root progression in the key of C major:
\n
\n…from C to F:<\/p>\n

C:
\n
\nF:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Root progressions are known as\u00a0 root progressions because the lowest chord tone of a chord is usually the root. For example, the lowest chord tone in the 1-chord (which is C):
\n
\n…is also the root of the chord.<\/p>\n

“Keep In Mind That Root Progressions Are Based On The Number System…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Root progressions are based on the number system where every scale tone is associated with a number. Let’s go ahead and explore diatonic and chromatic root progressions where we’ll talk more about the number system.<\/p>\n

Diatonic Root Progressions<\/h3>\n

Root progressions between the tones of the scale in any given key are described as diatonic root progressions.<\/p>\n

The representation of the tones of the major scale using the number system makes it a lot easier for diatonic root progressions to be determined. For example, in the key of C major:
\n<\/p>\n

C is the 1:
\n
\nD is the 2:
\n
\nE is the 3:
\n
\nF is the 4:
\n
\nG is the 5:
\n
\nA is the 6:
\n
\nB is the 7:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any root progression that is ONLY based on the numbers given above is a diatonic root progression. Here are a two examples of diatonic root progressions:<\/p>\n

The 1-4 root progression:<\/p>\n

The 1:
\n
\nThe 4:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 1-5-6-4 root progression:<\/p>\n

The 1:
\n
\nThe 5:
\n
\nThe 6:
\n
\nThe 4:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can create other examples using the notes of the major scale in any key.<\/p>\n

Chromatic Root Progressions<\/h3>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

Although root progressions are related to chord progressions, they should be learned differently.<\/p>\n

What an organ player pedals<\/em> are root progressions — and bass players aren’t left out too.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent lesson we’ll look at cyclical root progressions and we’ll be focusing on its diatonic and chromatic versions. We’ll also spice it up in-between with right hand chords here and there.<\/p>\n
