Applying ii-V7-I Chord Voicings |

So what's the big deal with all the ii-V7-I's you've been posting
Dustin? I'm glad you asked, because you need to know how to apply
all these new chord progressions.
First off, the ii-V7-I chord progression is all around you.
Sometimes you hear the whole chord progression and other times you just
hear the ii-V7 or the V7-I. Look for minor chords leading to a
dominant chord a fifth below. I will stress here that it doesn't
matter what kind of minor or dominant chord you see, you can use the
chord voicings presented a vast majority of the time. Also, look
for dominant chords leading to a major chord a fifth below. And,
of course, look for complete ii-V7-I's to drop your new chord voicings
onto.
Another great thing about learning these voicings is that they provide
you with nice minor chord, dominant chord and major chord
voicings. Guess what! That ii chord voicing can be used on
just about any minor chord! The same goes for the dominant and
major chord voicings. You know what's crazy? Most songs
that you learn or already play are mainly made up of just three chord
types - major, minor and dominant. So now you can try out these
voicings on almost every chord of every song you know!
Improve your sound by experimenting with your newfound chord voicings!
