a progression!
« on: July 31, 2003, 05:07:44 PM »
I would like to show you a progression I use sometimes when im starting a song or finishing…you can start it wherever, and as long as you do it right ………you can pick your spots……
              Lh/rh
On majors…1 and 5/ sub dominant 7 and 3

On minors…1 and 5/ dominant 7 flatted 3

Let’s use the key of C …..

You hit the chord like one chord..first…then you will have this suspended sound on the 7…now!! If it’s a major, you will drop the 7 to it’s dominant 7……so if you are hitting this chord on the 1..which is a major….then you will drop the sus7 ( sub7..b) to A (it’s dominant)…..
Now!
If it’s a minor…..you still hit it as a chord first…you’ll still have the sus7 sound! But!your sus7 is  your minor chords dominant7…(   D’s dom=C) D is your 2 chord and a minor.. so you will drop your 7(dom of 2) to it’s SUB DOMINANT! B…..

You can go up an down the board with this and it is awesome for quiet times…you can make it like a game……when you just keep it in the white notes,,,,your hands will fall right in place as you study and look at it……this little but highly effective chord is nothing but a SEVENTH CHORD!!!!!!  I know this is theory, but I couldn’t help but share this…….i love the way it sounds!!!try it……

Now this is the progression;2..3..4

DG/CF….SUS7.TO  B
EB/DG….SUS7 TO..C
FC/EA….SUS7 TO..D

THE SUS 7= OFF OF THE PATICULAR NOTES SCALE DEGREE!!!! IN THIS CASE…D..E..F…..GIERES
gieres.....

god is greatly to be praised!!!!!!!!!
