How To Spice Up Your Piano With 2-5-1 Passing Chords

- The video is an instructional piano lesson on Introduction to 2-5-1 Passing Chords.
The instructor, Warren, discusses the concept of 2-5-1 passing chords in both major and minor keys.
He explains that in a 2-5-1 progression, the 2 chord is typically diminished in a minor key and a straight minor chord in a major key, the 5 chord is a dominant 7th chord, and the 1 chord is a resolution chord (major in major keys and minor in minor keys).
Warren demonstrates the use of 2-5-1 progressions in different musical contexts, such as harmonizing melodies, transitioning from a 1 to a 4 chord, and transitioning from a 1 to a 6 chord.
He emphasizes the importance of understanding the destination chord when using 2-5-1 progressions.

Just, WOW. In all my wanderings through piano instruction land I have NEVER encountered even a hint of that insight - using the 2-5-1 sequence as a harmonization sequence to the destination chord. Absolutely brilliant!
What I mean is, I never thought of 2-5-1 as anything other than a cadence sequence. Using it in passing *really* increases its usefulness for improv.
James Gregoric yeah man it’s really cool, glad you find it interesting and use full 🙏🏾😊
Ok pk
After a few hours of coming across this channel and these lessons, I can truly say that I'm a better player today than I was yesterday.
Corey Williams thanks, that's awesome 😊👍🏾
Just remember, the 2-5-1 chords come from the destination chord/key :)

I love how you use examples of songs to explain the concept. The practical application becomes much easier. Thank you Warren.
Lionel D'sa you’re welcome 😉
This was super helpful.... the way you explained the 2 5 1 concept in the context of a song was awesome.... like which chord you’re at and where do you want to go.... this really opened up my mind! Thank you so much for this awesome video!
Thanks again. Keep coming back to those videos.
@12:19 - that moment when you realize -"Crush On You" by Lil' Kim- Rain Dance by Jeff Lorber is just a cycle of 2-5-1 passing chords.
What a blessing! Thanking God for you now. And also for the wonderful insightful lesson. What a gift!

I've watched a lot of videos over the last 6 months to a year, and yours is by far the best explanation of the method and reason of how to make the movement work. Thanks so much for posting.

This is the best 2-5-1 Passing Chords explanation I've ever watched
Leandro Sardinha thanks man 😊
Piano Lesson with Warren
Warren you said that most of the times 2 is diminished in passing chords, can this also be a minor?
Leandro Sardinha 2 is diminished in minor key ONLY, its important you remember that. So when you're doing a 2-5 passing and the destination is minor, the 2 should be diminished. If the designation choir is major, then the 2 should be minor.
Now, what I explained above is the standard practice, but remember there's no absolute rule in music. For advance players, your 2 can be what ever you want it to be... major minor diminished or augmented. But it require a deep understanding of what's happening before you start changing stuff.
wonderful.
Wow your good man always good watching your lessons
Thanks Warren, like your teaching style.

Please bro, two lessons I really need from you, (1). The 736, and (2). The passing notes, how, where, and when do we play the passing notes.
Thanks be unto God for you and for your sake, for blessing us with your knowledge and talent.
