“The Famous 2-5-1 Chord Progression”
a) Dmin9 Chord (pronounced “D minor ninth chord”)
Bass = D
Right hand = F + A + C + E
b) G13 chord (pronounced “G thirteenth chord“)
Bass = G
Right hand = F + A + C + E
Note: This is the same chord above but since the bass is different, the chord is titled “G13” instead of “Dmin9.”
c) Cmaj9 chord (pronounced “C major ninth chord”)
Bass = C
Right hand = E + G + B + D
Now, play each chord consecutively (right after the other)…
Dmin9 –> G13 –> Cmaj9
*** This type of progression is commonly heard in jazz and worship music! I hope you enjoyed … see you tomorrow!

Hi, I'm Jermaine Griggs, founder of this site. We teach people how to express themselves through the language of music. Just as you talk and listen freely, music can be enjoyed and played in the same way... if you know the rules of the "language!" I started this site at 17 years old in August 2000 and more than a decade later, we've helped literally millions of musicians along the way. Enjoy!
