You might have heard the progression we&#8217;re about to cover several times, but definitely NOT the term <em>extended 2-5 chord progression <\/em>and this is because it&#8217;s a new term coined by me.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told: the extended 2-5 chord progression has NOT been given the attention it deserves and that&#8217;s because of the lack of term to describe it.<\/p>\n<p>Today we&#8217;ll be exploring the extended 2-5 chord progression: a long-established progression in popular music styles like Gospel and R &amp;B.<\/p>\n<p>But before we do so, let&#8217;s go ahead and review the 2-5 chord progression.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quick Review On The 2-5 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n<p>The chord movement from the second tone of the scale to the fifth tone of the scale in a major (or minor) key produces the 2-5 chord progression.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers (2 and 5) are used because of the tones of the scale involved.<\/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=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the second tone is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;while the fifth tone is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, a 2-5 chord progression will progress from D to G:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2 (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the 5 (which is G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Using the chords for each of the bass notes, we&#8217;ll have the D minor chord <em>progressing <\/em>to the G major chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,A,D,F,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,B,D,G,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s the 2-5 chord progression.<\/p>\n<h2>Introducing: The Extended 2-5 Chord Progression<\/h2>\n<p>The extended 2-5 chord progression is just another way to play the 2-5 chord progression with spicier chords and chromatically descending bass notes.<\/p>\n<p>Keep these two elements in mind:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Spicier chords<\/li>\n<li>Chromatically descending bass notes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and cover these two elements; starting from the bass notes.<\/p>\n<h3>Chromatically Descending Bass Notes<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of moving from the 2 to the 5 in the major key &#8212; which is like moving from D to G in the of C major &#8212; you can descend <em>chromatically <\/em>from the 2 (which is D):<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Moving chromatically simply means moving in half-steps; so, for every movement, we&#8217;ll be progressing to the note that is just a half-step away.<\/p>\n<p>A half-step below D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and another half-step below C# is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the next half-step below C is B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWe could descend chromatically more and more, but we&#8217;re stopping at B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n..and here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the third tone of the 5-chord (G major triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s our target chord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, we&#8217;re starting on the root of the 2-chord (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and descending <em>chromatically<\/em> to the third tone of the 5-chord (which is B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s four bass notes altogether:<\/p>\n<p>D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow that we&#8217;ve figured out the bass notes for the left hand, let&#8217;s go ahead and learn the chords they can be played with, on the right hand.<\/p>\n<h3>Spicier Chords<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ll give you two approaches to the extended 2-5 chord
