Plus, I love the progressions!<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/yes-you-can-play-a-top-charting-pop-song-with-just-4-chords\">posted a quick lesson<\/a> summarizing the chords. But I couldn&#8217;t stay long because I was headed to the hospital to support my grandma as she underwent surgery. Thanks for your prayers, by the way! She&#8217;s doing great! :-).<\/p>\n<p>So today, I want to back up and show you a simple way to play the chords of &#8220;Lost Without You&#8221; in all 12 keys!<\/p>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s review the four chords that dominate this song. (Again, if you haven&#8217;t watched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/jermaine-teaches-song\">original video<\/a>, you&#8217;re missing out and this lesson won&#8217;t have its full impact).<\/p>\n<p>Once again, I&#8217;ll use my new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/cool-new-enhancement-to-blog\">piano tool I announced on Tuesday<\/a> to show you the chords below&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the four chords&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Dmin7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=D&amp;second_octave=C,F&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>G7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=G,B&amp;second_octave=F&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>Cmaj7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=C,B&amp;second_octave=E&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>Fmaj7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=F,A&amp;second_octave=E&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>Notice the stepwise motion between tones. That&#8217;s what makes it sound so good!<\/p>\n<p>This is what we call a <strong>2-5-1-4 chord progression. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/yes-you-can-play-a-top-charting-pop-song-with-just-4-chords\">Click here<\/a> to view yesterday&#8217;s lesson. It will explain why we call it a &#8220;2-5-1-4&#8221; progression in more detail.<\/p>\n<p>But for this lesson, I want to focus specifically on the first three chords. This is the &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chord progression<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p>(Alright alright! Here&#8217;s why we call this a &#8220;2-5-1-4&#8221; chord progression&#8230; Because if you compare the bass notes of the 4 chords I posted above to the C major scale, the key this progression is in, you&#8217;ll find that &#8220;D&#8221; is the 2nd tone of the scale &#8212; &#8220;G&#8221; is the 5th tone of the scale &#8212; &#8220;C&#8221; is the 1st tone of the C major scale, of course &#8212; and &#8220;F&#8221; is the 4th tone of the scale. So the numbers come straight from the scale. Simple enough?)<\/p>\n<p>But for this example, we&#8217;re only going to focus on the &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; part of the chord progression. And let me tell ya&#8230; this is probably one of the most commonly used chords in music history! I&#8217;m serious! You can hardly play a song without using some kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2-5-1 progression<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re used to end songs because of the strong pull and resolution back &#8220;home.&#8221; Basically, you get a feeling of &#8220;ending&#8221; when you play a &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; progression. It&#8217;s like that &#8220;2&#8221; chord is sort of away from home. But when it progresses to the &#8220;5&#8221; chord, it tells your ear, &#8220;Ok, we&#8217;re getting ready to go back home.&#8221; And finally when you hear any kind of &#8220;1&#8221; chord, whether you&#8217;re a musician or not, your ear tells you, &#8220;Alas, we&#8217;re home!&#8221; That&#8217;s basically the whole idea.<\/p>\n<p>Music is a combination of tension (being away from home) and release (coming back home). If you think about it, EVERYTHING in life is a combination of tension and release. You go through something in life (tension)&#8230; and then you overcome it (release). But you better not get too comfortable because something else will inevitably come up. That&#8217;s how chord progressions are. Heck, that&#8217;s how movies, books, freeways, marriages, sports &#8212; that&#8217;s how everything is!  <\/p>\n<p>So how can we learn this same exact &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; progression in every key? It&#8217;s simple. We&#8217;re going to use the famous <em><a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> circle of fifths<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script><\/em> chart!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/circleoffifthsbig.jpg\" alt=\"circle of fifths\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you look closely at this circle, our &#8220;D to G to C&#8221; progression lies on the right side, going counter-clockwise. If you compare this chart to a clock, &#8220;D&#8221; is at 2 o&#8217; clock, G is at 1 o&#8217; clock, and C is at 12 o&#8217; clock.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the secret&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This circle is filled with every &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; chord progression you&#8217;ll ever want to play. What do you do to find them?<\/p>\n<p>Just circle any 3 neighboring tones on this circle and move in a counter-clockwise direction. The last note circled in that direction will be your &#8220;home&#8221; chord just like &#8220;C&#8221; is our home chord in the example above.<\/p>\n<p>Check out these examples from my circle:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/circleoffifthsbig.jpg\" alt=\"circle of fifths\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If we want to play a &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; chord progression in Bb major, we do the same thing. Circle &#8220;Bb.&#8221; Then circle the note right next to it &#8220;F&#8221; &#8212; then circle the note right next to it, &#8220;C.&#8221; Always remember that these kind of progressions always work in a counter-clockwise direction when you use this circle. In other words, it&#8217;s like telling time backwards. If you&#8217;re going the same direction your clock on the wall moves, then reverse the direction and you&#8217;ll be on track!<\/p>\n<p>If we want to play a &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; in &#8220;A major,&#8221; the process is the same. Circle the note &#8220;A.&#8221; Then back up and circle the note right next to it, &#8220;E&#8221; &#8212; then the note right next to it, &#8220;B.&#8221; Piece of cake, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>So, with that said, here&#8217;s how to play the chords I taught you in the video &#8212; in ALL <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 KEYS<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p>C major (example)<\/p>\n<p>Dmin7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=D&amp;second_octave=C,F&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>G7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=G,B&amp;second_octave=F&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>Cmaj7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=C,B&amp;second_octave=E&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n(All on the right hand)<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: From the first to the second chord, get used to lowering the <em>left<\/em> note first.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: From the second chord to the last chord (home base), get used to lowering the <em>right<\/em> note.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Once you reach home, you&#8217;ll have to turn that &#8220;home base&#8221; chord into a minor chord so that it can operate as the &#8220;2&#8221; chord in the next key you&#8217;re trying to move to. In other words, now that you&#8217;ve finished playing a &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; progression in C <em>(which is D minor 7 &gt; G dominant 7 &gt; C major 7)<\/em>, now you must prepare to convert the &#8220;C major 7&#8221; into a minor 7 chord so that it can operate as the &#8220;2&#8221; chord in the next key. You do that by just moving each note down a half step. That&#8217;s it. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So this chord&#8230;<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=C,B&amp;second_octave=E&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><br \/>\n(C major 7)<\/p>\n<p>turns into&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=C,Bb&amp;second_octave=Eb&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;this chord (C minor 7).<\/p>\n<p>Then you just repeat the same pattern, except now, &#8220;C minor 7&#8221; is the beginning of your chord progression. You&#8217;ll lower its left note and it will take you to an F dominant 7. Just like you did in the original example, you&#8217;ll then lower its right note and it will take you to a Bb major 7. So now we&#8217;ve just played a &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; in the key of Bb major.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2-5-1&#8221; in Bb major:<\/p>\n<p>Cmin7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=C,Bb&amp;second_octave=Eb&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>F7<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=F,A&amp;second_octave=Eb&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>Bbmaj7 (Bb on bass&#8230; not shown because my piano image is not wide enough)<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=A&amp;second_octave=D&amp;color=99CCFF&amp;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>*Notice, all we&#8217;re doing is following the circle of fifths. What was once &#8220;D to G to C&#8221; is now &#8220;C to F to Bb.&#8221; The next one will be &#8220;Bb to Eb to Ab,&#8221; all in alignment with the circle. I tell ya &#8212; once you know the circle, you&#8217;ve opened the door to tons of musical shortcuts!<\/p>\n<p>So, I expect you to know the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pattern<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> by now! After we&#8217;ve successfully played Bb major 7, we lower both of its notes so that it becomes Bb minor 7. It now operates as a &#8220;2&#8221; chord for our next progression.

Plus, I love the progressions!  Yesterday, I posted a quick lesson summarizing the chords. But I couldn't stay long because I was headed to the hospital to support my grandma as she underwent surgery. Thanks for your prayers, by the way! She's doing great! :-).
