The Circle of 5ths

We'll look at playing the Octatonic Scale, Triads, and Arpeggios over a Circle of 5ths progression in the key of Bb, using Inverted Altered Chords of m7b9/b5 for the Dominant 7 chords of the progression. We'll discuss the Substitution Dominant 7th Chords that the m7b9/b5 Chords imply that give us a Chromatic Bass line from the Dm7 Chord down to the Bb Major Chord.

Basic Chord Progression:
Dm7, G7, Cm7, F7, BbM7

Adding Inverted/Altered Chords:
Dm7, G7b9/Db, Cm7, F7b9/Cb, BbM7

Sounds like:
Dm7, Db7, Cm7, B7, BbM7

Thanks man i;m actually studying this atm and have to make a tune using the circle.Its actually challanging for simple rock folk like myself, i have a highest respect for you jazz guys,you certainly know your shit!

Thanks, thedirtydeltas, for stopping by! You'll get the hang of the Circle pf Fourths/Fifths. You already use a bit of it when playing Blues, Country, Rock & Roll and lots of other styles... it just doesn't go very far into the Circle with the other styles.

Heavy stuff. This lesson actually made me laugh because it's so superior to similar ones attempted by others on you tube. - probably because you really know your music. Fab musical examples that are made to look easy but actually require years of practice.

So I repeat my comment on lesson 1 (Dim Scale) if you are a beginner the modes are the place to start - come back here later. (lol - thats 'Lots of love' from Yorkshire land)5*

Hello Andy. A little behind on my Comment Responses. I wasn't attempting to use this as a lesson for a beginning Guitarist. You have to start them on a ''C chord'' and start explaining how music works from the ground up.

Wow, thankyou. this is alot of the stuff im learning and working on with my guitar teacher..and it's really confusing because i was never really good at theory. i was more of an ear player..but im working on my theory as best i can, and this helps:)

[Gomagomes]

very nice, i'm studying chord inversions and in the beginning is a little hard, but if u want to play jazzy stuff u need to know it very well
