We're coming at you live from an internationally acclaimed chamber music festival and institute in the San Francisco Bay Area. Have fun and come up with your own two chord cycle progression.Tune in here on Saturday, July 29th at 12:30 PM (ET) for an exciting concert featuring works written by a variety of composers You could even change the chord voicings to make it even more interesting by creating your own two chord progression. This would give you more variety in learning this two chord progression. For example you can choose F minor 7 to start on and as you cycle through, all of the chords that were minor 7 before would be Major 7 and vice versa. In this example, we started on C minor 7 but you can start on any minor 7 chord. Resetting to the next I chord (which is back to a minor 7 chord), move the bottom note down a half step and the top note one and a half steps. In your right hand move the bottom note down a half step. So here’s the formula for this progression.Ĭhoose the root of the chord in the left hand and voice it with the flatted 7th on the bottom and minor 3rd on top in the right hand.Īfter the first chord, move the root in your left hand up a 4th (counter-clockwise) to the next note on the circle. Lower the A flat a half step to G. Raise the D flat to D.Īs you can see this is a simple repeating pattern that you can use to cycle through the circle of 5ths with alternating minor 7 to Major 7 chords. To transition to E flat Major 7, lower the B flat to E flat. You now have B flat minor 7 that will progress to E flat Major 7. Move the Major 7th (E) down one and a half steps to D flat. Move the 3rd (A) of the F chord down a half step to A flat. To transition from F Major 7 to B flat minor 7, move from F to B flat in the left hand. From there you can easily transition to the next minor 7 chord which is B flat minor 7.
