Django often ends choruses in one of two ways: using a phrase that provides closure or using a phrase that builds energy to lead into the next chorus. Both options use diminished arpeggios.
Many choruses end with a II-V-I chord progression, but the focus here is on building solos as a composition, a story with a beginning, middle and end.
So, our focus in this lesson is on ending your chorus with a closure.
The chord progression for the chorus endings in All of Me is simply the II-V-I, Dm-G7-C.
The tools that we are going to use are the C triad (for the I chord) and the B diminished arpeggio over the G7 (the V7 chord).
Your checklist: How to master a definitive closure to your chorus:
1) Learn the B diminished arpeggio all over your fingerboard.
2) Play the phrase resolving to the C in various positions .
3) Experiment with playing the phrase resolving to various notes of the C chord in different positions.
4) Become very familiar with the different possibilities and see what sounds you like.
So, what have we learned here?
Listen to the examples here and get inspiration. Remember to use and enclosure at the end to provide closure!
Try this over many songs. It’ll work anywhere you have a II-V-I or V-I progression at the end of the chorus.
On the video, I demonstrate this on All of Me.
