  • could you name some songs that you used this progression in.

  • this is the Circe of Fifths not totally complete tho I like bro

  • Love the vid....... ay @altered13th it is a 6-2-5-1-4 progression. u can substitute any progressions chords to spice up the music.... thats why jazz n gospel sound the way they do -Young Roc

  • @RocandBonez this is so true...

  • Love the vid....... ay @alterd13th it is a 6-2-5-1-4 progression. u can substitute any progressions chords to spice up the music.... thats why jazz n gospel sound the way they do -Young Roc

  • That is not a 6-2- 5 -1- 4 progression in B flat. It is a ii - V (in the key of A flat Major) then a ii- V- I in the key of G flat Major) . You are playing a B flat minor 9- E flat dom. 13th - A flat minor 9- D flat dom. 13th - G flat Major 7th.

    A vi-ii-V-I-IV in B flat major is G min 7 - C min 7- F Maj 7- B flat Maj 7 -E flat Maj. 7.

  • @ALTERED13TH no I didnt say Bb I said Db...you figure out the progression by the bass. The right hand doesnt matter. I am playing a 6-2-5-1-4 progression in the key of Db.

  • @spicyhot231 I was incorrect above in my last sentence I should have type F dom 7th rather than F Maj 7. Your progression even if you said D flat Major is still not a vi -ii-V-I-IV progression. In any major key the ii and vi chords are minor 7ths and the V, I and IV chords are all major 7ths. You are playing ii -V in the key of A flat Major then a ii -V -I in the key of G flat major. A vi-ii-V-I-IV in D flat major is B flat min 7 - E flat min 7 - A flat Dom 7 - D flat Maj 7 - G flat Maj 7.

  • @ALTERED13TH I am kind of confused because their are a # of people on here saying dif things but would this be iii VI ii V I??? You can tell that the last chord in the progression is the 1 because it resolves it? Am i not correct???

  • @giftedbrother I looked at this again and he said the key of Db. So Bb min 7 is the vi of Db major. He then should play an Eb min 7 which is the ii of Db major, but he plays it as a dominant 13th which is wrong b/c the ii chord in any major key is always a min 7, then he plays an Ab min 7th which is also wrong b/c the V chord is always a dominant chord in any major key. Then he plays a Db 13 which is also wrong b/c the I chord is always a Maj. 7, then he plays a Gb Maj 9.

  • @ALTERED13TH no it is not wrong, those are merely guideline and are the most commonly played chords over those tones in any given key. But gospel/neosoul breaks alot of rules, that progression is common in so many songs and is played just like that. Music is all about the creativity and if you always played a dominant over the 5 chord then everything would sound the same...you can plan whatever you want over the 5 chord such as the 4 chord over the 5, or just a regular 9th chord over the 5.

  • @spicyhot231 Yeah, it's wrong. You can play whatever you want over any tone but just don't say it's in the key of Db major 'cause it's not.

  • @ALTERED13TH it is definitely in the key of Db, I can use that progression in any song in Db to get to the 4 chord. You can borrow from other keys and still be in the key of Db. It happens all the time when I learn new jazz songs/gospel arrangements. If you have ever played in a professional band, the breaks borrow from keys and are still in the key that you started in.

  • @spicyhot231 You don't know music theory that's all. The ii chord in any major key is always a minor 7th, but so is the iii chord and the vi chord. So in C major, those chords are D min 7, E min 7 and A min 7. But in the key of G major, A min 7 is the ii chord. So what key a progression is in refers to how the chords resolve to a tonic or I chord usually by a ii-V-I progression. You can call chords whatever you want but musicians won't know what your talking about.

  • @ALTERED13TH lmao i know music theory, this vid was from like 3 years ago. I play in 2 jazz bands, and have toured with some gospel artists. I know what im talking about. You dont always have to play those chords over those tones of the scale. That would leave you with BORING music. How do you think oscar peterson and other jazz pianists come up with some many different sounding movements. They borrow from other keys, play in modes, etc. Don't let you head be clouded with "theory".

  • @spicyhot231 the V chord, which is always dominant and the I chord which is always major define the key so you can play whatever chords you want over root notes but your calling the chords wrong names in this video that's all. Yes musicians use chord substitutions all the time like a tritone substitution for V for example and yes jazz music often changes keys but they still call the chords in relation to the key the piece is written in.

  • @ALTERED13TH Right, so basically he is not in the key of Db. He is in the key of Gb and iii VI ii V I is the progession. Correct me if i'm wrong. I have been playing by ear for yrs so i tent to rely on my ears FIRST. I am just recently delving deeper into the theory part of it, but its kind of hard to when you have multiple people saying different things. My ear tells me that this progression resolves on Gb so therefore that is the key. ??? Yes? No?

  • dope.. im prolly gonna make a stupid dope beat from learning this lol...

  • @breezethebeatmachine i'm thinking the same thing hahaha

  • Thanks!

  • Wonderful. If possible, could you position your microphone so that your voice is a bit louder? LOL, I am OLD and have played for 40 years, but there is always something new to learn. Thanks so much!! PLEASE keep them coming and I plan on posting some of my own teaching videos soon. It is great to give back a part of what God has given to us........freely.

  • Thank you for your video. It a very beautiful

    groove. Is there any music theory that goes along with it?

  • I love gospel music! Thank you for showing me this chord progression. I'm gonna try it!
