Announcement: GuitarControl.com Releases “Jazz Common Chord Progression in Gmaj7 - Easy Jazz Guitar Lesson on Chords”
(PRWEB) August 24, 2014 -- Claude teaches this easy jazz lesson in the key of G using the 2 5 1 chord progression as follows: for the 2 chord, Am7 (A minor seven), for the 5 chord, D7 and for the 1 chord, GM7 (G major seven). Typically the 2 5 1 chord progression consists of one bar of the 2 chord, one bar of the 5 chord and two bars of the 1 chord, but in this demonstration, Johnson only plays one bar of the 1 chord and follows it with one bar of the 6 chord which is E7. “That gives it a really nice twist,” says Johnson. “Normally it would be a minor chord, but in this case we are giving it a temporary dominant.” Claude demonstrates how you can solo over this progression using the G Major Scale. Guitar tabs are available for this easy beginner jazz guitar lesson at GuitarControl.com.
The major scale, aka the Ionian Mode, is a seven tone diatonic scale that is widely used in western music. The eighth duplicates the first at double its frequency so that it is called a higher octave of the same note, which its name is derived from Latin "octavus," the eighth.
