I often use a half diminished 2 when resolving to a minor chord. It's borrowing from the harmonic minor scale instead of the directly diatonic natural minor.
Thanks for your question and good point about modes. In a typical 2-5-1 progression in a major key, it usually goes: the 2 chord is minor, the 5 chord is often a major 7th (like G7 in C major), and the 1 chord is major. However, depending on the mode you're using, the qualities of these chords can change. For example, in some modes, the 2 chord might still be minor, but the 5 chord could have a different sound. So while the standard is minor-major-major, there are definitely variations based on the musical context. Hope that helps!
Great summary! Some of it depends on how you voice/stack your chords + your confidence in playing them. But if it sounds off, borrowing from the original key is a great plan! It’s all about finding & having options that sound good to you.
This channel looks to be an amazing channel. I cant wait to learn more from you especially the tritone subs. Please keep this coming 🙏🏾. Love the content
You're welcome @pleabargain! And yeah, a music producer friend of mine said this was a great multipurpose mic (more for recording instruments) and it's been my go to for a while now 👍
Yes, I think they derive from one another. What I was thinking about in that moment was a conversation I had recently. The thought is - if you know the three major chords in any major key, and then you add a bass note a minor third below the root of the major chord you’re playing, you unlock all the major and minor chords in that key.
At last a video that does it properly in a concise way. It really common sense after all.
Needed that help
Happy to do it and feel free to drop questions in as you're working through this!
This was awesome! I can’t wait to see more!
thanks brother!! ❤️

You're welcome @AndreyGooschin - appreciate you watching!
Also, I enjoyed 'Raining In Paris' over on your channel. Really nice!
Excellent stuff! Thank you
You're very welcome!
Sorry to be a pain… but can you give me a hint for the e minor and the b7……!thanks again
@@charleswilliams50 Happy to help! Are you needing the chord spelled out note by note or are you asking for something different?
worked out the 2nd and 5th from e minor and B major from chord chart of both keys…but not sure it sounds right. Just wanted to check
Em: 2-5-1 would be F# - B - E
Ex: D/F# - B/D# - Em or F#ø7 - B7 - Em7
B major: 2-5-1 would be C# - F# - B
Ex: C#m7 - F# - B
Really nice sounds😊
Thank you very much!

Thanks for checking it out!
Great video, thanks. Does the 2-5-1 always has to be.....2(min) 5(maj7)...1(maj)? according to modes?
Thanks for your question and good point about modes. In a typical 2-5-1 progression in a major key, it usually goes: the 2 chord is minor, the 5 chord is often a major 7th (like G7 in C major), and the 1 chord is major.

So while the standard is minor-major-major, there are definitely variations based on the musical context. Hope that helps!
So what you’re saying is to play the 2-5-1 of the destination chord, and if a chord is off, then borrow from the original key?

Thanks so much @Thetruthshallsetyoufree23! Glad to hear you're okay following your recent accident 😳 Hope all is well!
YES!!! This is the best explanation for the style of this chord progression! The sound of these chords are so soothing! I can't wait to try it!!
Awesome to hear @wendyjames2499! I have some fun next steps coming soon.
Hit me up if you have any questions 🙌
Great mic. Thanks for posting.

What is it? 🎙
1:59 … 4 is kind of a derivative of 2, technically - given how we in the west build chords?
Yes, I think they derive from one another.

Thanks @EasyAsPiePiano!
Great explanation of how to use 2 5 1 thanks
Thanks @MultiCugel - Glad it was helpful!
Great content bro.. question.. what is the name of the audio interface that you are using?
Hey thanks! I'm using a Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen. I've had it about 3 months and absolutely love it!
@@dnlwht Thank you.. I really appreciate you responding.
Can we use the 251 to any chord in a progression
Yes, you got it. That's the idea!. You can also do a 5-1 to any chord if you want to keep it simpler.
