Therefore, if you&#8217;re a beginner or an intermediate player, you&#8217;ll do well to check out previous lessons that are designed for beginners and intermediate players.<\/p>\n<p>Although the 2-5-1 chord progression should be well known to the advanced player, we&#8217;ll start out this lesson with a quick review which should serve as a refresher before we proceed into learning an breaking down the voicings.<\/p>\n<p>Alright! Let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quick Review Of The 2-5-1 Chord Progression<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Chord progressions in the key are based on the number system.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the scale tones 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=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are assigned with numbers from 1 to 7:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is the 1<\/p>\n<p>D is the 2<\/p>\n<p>E is the 3<\/p>\n<p>F is the 4<\/p>\n<p>G is the 5<\/p>\n<p>A is the 6<\/p>\n<p>B is the 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The numbers assigned to scale tones are also associated with scale tone chords. For instance, the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which has its root as C (the first tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is known as the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the 2-5-1 chord progression is a movement of the following chords:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2-chord<\/p>\n<p>The 5-chord<\/p>\n<p>The 1-chord<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;based on the number system.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check Out The Classic 2-5-1 Chord Progression Using Ninth Chords&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Keep in mind that this example is given in the key of C major.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-chord (the D minor ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,F,A,C,E,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord (the G dominant ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,A,B,D,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 1-chord (the C major ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s A Different Twist To The Same 2-5-1 Chord Progression&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 2-chord (the D minor ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,C,E,F,A,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord (the G dominant ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,B,D,F,A,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 1-chord (the C major ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,B,D,E,G,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow that we&#8217;ve refreshed our minds on the 2-5-1 chord progression, I&#8217;ll go ahead and give you fresh perspectives to the 2-5-1 chord progression using advanced chord voicings and I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll love it.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Play The 2-5-1 Chord Progression Using Advanced Chord Voicings<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Advanced players set their playing apart from amateurs, beginners, and intermediate players with the use of advanced chord voicings. This does not mean that advanced players don&#8217;t use triads &#8212; of course they do.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to harmonic sophistication, advanced players have &#8220;dangerous&#8221; voicings in their chordal vocabulary that they can spice boring chord progressions and turn heads with.<\/p>\n<p>Quickly, we&#8217;ll be exploring 2-5-1 chord progressions that have some of these advanced voicings and we&#8217;ll be doing so in the key of C major.<\/p>\n<h3>Example #1 &#8211; <em>&#8220;Sounds Phat And Jazzy&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>This 2-5-1 progression here consists of the following chords:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The D minor ninth chord<\/p>\n<p>The G altered chord<\/p>\n<p>The C major seventh [add thirteenth] chord<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here Are The Chords&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=R,,F,C,E,A,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,Bb,B,Eb,G,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,B,E,A,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> The use of tenths:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>D-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,F,,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and sevenths:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>G-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;on the left hand adds some depth and fullness to the chords with or without a bass player.<\/p>\n<h3>Example #2 &#8211; <em>&#8220;Gospel Players Will Love This One&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>In this example, we&#8217;re progressing from the D minor eleventh chord, to the Db dominant ninth (sharp eleventh) chord, then to the C 6\/9 chord.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check It Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,A,E,F,C,E,G,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord (substituted):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Db,Ab,Db,F,B,Eb,G,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,A,D,G,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> The tritone substitution of the 5 chord with the Db dominant chord happens a lot in gospel and jazz music. There&#8217;s a guarantee that you&#8217;ll either sound like an advanced gospel or jazz player with this particular example.<\/p>\n<h3>Example #3 &#8211; <em>&#8220;You Must Have Heard This In A Broadway Musical&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>I love this particular example a lot and this is because of the elements of classical music in the chord movement. The 2-chord is the D minor ninth chord, followed by the 5-chord which is the G dominant seventh (flat ninth) chord, then the C major ninth chord.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Try Them Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,C,F,A,E,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,B,F,Ab,D,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,B,E,G,D,&amp;color=669933&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nYou can learn more chords like this in the <a href=\"https:\/\/gospel.hearandplay.com\/main\/start-now\/v\">gospel music training center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> It shouldn&#8217;t escape your notice that the 5-chord is played rootless.
