Nice progression..as a tip if you are playing in a flat key, remember to call out the exact names of the notes in that key...i.e you should not mix flats and sharps when naming your notes... so your Fsharp should ideally be called a Gflat, and Csharp your Db. it kinda makes theory easier. good luck!!
@pianoplayer223 You're welcome, It's easier to think of it that way. In 3 of the 5 chords he shows here, I noticed that he starts the minor 7 chord two whole-steps above the Dom 7 note. So you can use any 3 or 4 chord Dom 7 progression you want and just lay the minor 7 on top each chord from that spot.
@56dlp This is still pianoplayer223. Just signing in with a different account. When I played this, I realized the first two were were Sus4 voicings. C-/Bb. (The first chord is Bb, not Db), Bb-/Ab. I see how the Bb, F and G fit in the key of C. But how does the Ab fit into the progression? It's the flat 6 of C, but what else is it related to in the scale?
@aoscruggs Just because the last chord of the progression ends on C does not mean its all based on C. Its based on F Minor. Starts on Bb, then goes to Ab, F, G, then C. C is the 5th of F, but its played on the octave below; thats why it resolves so well.
@56dlp Thanks so much! Now it all makes sense. I'll play with the idea of resolving on a 5th an octave below the root. I'm a bass player too, and the technique might be useful.
you wrote Db as the first note instead of Bb....just thought id let you know even though this video is like 3 years old....
