In this piano tutorial, I am going to show you 3 different ways to play a major 251 chord progression. We're going to be using a variety of voicings including rootless voicings, big two-handed chords & some altered harmony.
The first way I show you is a pretty bog standard way of voicing a 251. This will be very useful for things such as comping, soloing over and playing jazz standards.
The second way is similar to the first, except that we introduce some altered harmony in the dominant chord. This method is especially good for soloing over since it builds a huge amount of tension.
The third and final way makes use of big, two-handed voicings. We use some altered harmony again and we also make use of the famous Kenny Barron voicing.
It's definitely worth transposing these into some different keys to help you internalize them.
If you have any questions, just leave a comment below!

Hi Simon, this was fantastic! I've seen a lot of videos lately on 2-5-1 here. My question is why the focus on this progression specifically. Does this help as practice for beginners?
@Piano_Pig
@Piano_Pig 4 жыл бұрын
The 251 the most commonly found chord progression in jazz. If you master this chord progression, you will be halfway to learning a majority of jazz standards. If jazz is what you're interested in, then I definitely recommend focusing on this progression 😀

@Ajay Joseph As William said above, it's a great idea to get familiar with chords and start anaylzing classical pieces to see what harmony they are using. Also, have a look at some Hanon exercises, they are great for building finger strength and dexterity.

@Piano_Pig
@Piano_Pig 4 жыл бұрын
Do you mean an Fmaj7? If so, then yes that voicing can function as either an Fmaj7 or a Dm9. It has all the chord tones a Dm9 has so it can be used as either.
