Simple And Easy Approach To A Minor 2 5 1

The minor 2 5 1 is difficult because you need more scales for it and the m7b5 and dom7(b9) chords are sounds we are less familiar with. But you can actually get started improvising on this progression quite easily and both nail the changes and play something that sounds like music and not just exercises.
In this video, I am going to go over how you can get more used to the chords and start improvising building from 2 arpeggios and adding the rest along the way, step by step.

@patpogoallroundguitarist5814 3 года назад

I take lessons from the amazing guitarist Dave Stryker himself. His approach is mainly to subsitute licks over standards. He is teaching to play a regular 2-5-1 lick up a minor third which he calls "minor sub" over a minor 2-5-1 progression. He substitutes also minor 7 licks over dominant licks which he got from Grant Green and dominant 7 licks on major 7 chord, because he thinks it gives a less obvious sound for melodies.

@woelneberg 3 года назад

Where can I learn more about why you used the F# diminished?

@JensLarsen 3 года назад

It is just the arpeggio from the 3rd of the chord in harmonic minor, but you find this useful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kJ5tLJNu5RA.html

Hi Jens once again thanks for all your wonderful videos. Question: What if instead of a iim7b5 we have a V7/V. how different is a secondary dominant in a major context from a minor context, would you play the tones of the V chord since is technically the resolution of the V/V or from the actual key the Im. Or would I just play phrygian dominant or altered like a minor V-I?

@JensLarsen 3 года назад

Thanks! The V of V would be treated as a dominant with a b9 and a b13. That would sound more natural and in key.

@JensLarsen Год назад

If you look at the extensions that fit on the chord in minor then those are b9 and b13, so it is not about changing the dominant as much as it is about fitting in the context. Does that help? 🙂

@damonshanabarger2604 9 месяцев назад

@luismendoza9195 4 года назад

Hello Jens, thanks again, great material. I have a question: How do you know which scales to fit in a chord when the scale does not begins with the root note of that chord. For major scales, I know that the greek modes including the relative minor scale usually fits well, but how about in a context of ii v i minor? Cheers.

Jens, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am just starting on this type of theory and I get confused easy. How can A half diminished be from either Bb major or G natural minor, as it does not contain a Bb ? I would have though A half diminished came from C melodic minor. That headache aside, I really like and appreciate your videos. Thanks.

Simple: Bb major is Bb C D Eb F G A Bb the diatonic chords are Bbmaj7 Cm7 Dm7 Ebmaj7 F7 Gm7 *Aø* Bbmaj7 You could do the same for G minor Does that help?

Would you approach something like "Summertime" in the same way with the tonic being a m6? It always feels odd to me when the melody is rooted in natural and harmonic minor

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

The melody on the tonic of summertime is no more rooted in natural or harmonic minor than most other minor songs? I think if you listen to Jazz you will find that m6 is extremely common for tonic minor, and often also what you actually hear.

@ilyazaytsev5269 3 года назад

The "minor 2-5-1" seems to be so elusive to people and often these explanations are really missing some crucial detail. A common oversight, in my opinion, is that the ii chord often is explained as the ii7b5. That certainly is one way to do it, but compositionally speaking, ii7b5 is somewhat awkward compared to two alternatives: bIImaj7 and simple ii7 (with a non-diatonic ninth too - it's easier to work with more sonorous ii chord generally speaking). If you want to arrange a song with minor 2-5-1 progression primarily, you need to figure out the other alternatives for this. I personally like a lot the imM7 sound and even your i6/9 is great, but both of these also are not great options to use forever if you're looking for a cadence that resolves. Most "workable" option generally is to go for ii9 | subV7 (prefer #9 over b9 here myself) | i9 - of course you don't have to sub the V, but you'll wind up finding this for instance in neosoul. The bIImaj7 option over the ii9 of course will pretty much necessitate non-subbed V7. The benefit of bIImaj7 however is the fact that you can create a nice turnaround with bVImaj7 in similar spirit to the major 2-5-1-6. I don't mean to throw any shade - I have utmost respect for you and all the effort you see to educate other people! I just think that when it comes to minor 2-5-1, there's a tradeoff in that the diatonically "simplest" approaches are (ironically so) compositionally more complicated approaches. I can't say myself what is the best approach to teach the flexible minor 2-5-1, so I'm just giving some food for thought on an alternative perspective

@gp-nn7zy 2 года назад

These are one of the reasons why the minor 2-5-1 can be so "elusive." The title suggests that this is a "simple" approach. Do you think someone new to this will understand the chord subtitution concepts in your explanation? Jens is trying to make it simple, yet some people overcomplicate it.
