The “7-3-6-2-5-1″ Progression and How to Use It!

by Jermaine Griggs · 1 comment

in Chords & Progressions

Let’s get right to work with this month’s online classroom.
In the past, I’ve given you one-fingered bass notes to play on your left hand. In this lesson, I will give you three-fingered left hand voicings so that you’ll get used to playing “bigger” chords.
These progressions will also be in the key of Db major:
NOTES IN PARENTHESIS ( ) DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE PLAYED IF YOU CAN’T REACH THEM.
#1


Left hand

C + G + Bb (“7″)

Right hand

Eb + G + Bb + D + (F)

F + C + Eb (“3″) A + Db + Eb + Ab
Bb + F + Ab (“6″) Ab + C + Db + F + (Ab)
Eb + Bb + Db (“2″) G + C + Db + F + (A)
Ab + Eb + Gb (“5″) Gb + Bb + B + Eb
Db + Ab + B (“1″) F + Bb + B + Eb

After the “1″ chord, it is common to go to a “4″ chord:

Left hand: Gb + Db + F / Right hand: F + Bb + Db

or…

Left hand: Gb + Db + F / Right hand: Bb + Eb + F Bb

 

#2

Left hand

Right hand

C + G + Bb (“7″)

Bb + Eb + Gb
F + C + Eb (“3″) A + D + Gb
Bb + F + Ab (“6″) Ab + C + Eb + G
Eb + Bb + Db (“2″) Gb + Bb + Db + F
Ab + Eb + Gb (“5″) C + F + A
Db + Ab + B (“1″) Bb + Eb + Ab
