So what's the big deal with all the ii-V7-I progression piano chord voicings you've been posting Dustin?  I'm glad you asked, because you need to know how to apply all these new piano chord progressions.

First off, the ii-V7-I  progression is all around you.  Sometimes you hear the whole chord progression and other times you just hear the ii-V7 progression or the V7-I progression.  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 progressions to drop your new chord voicings onto.

Another great thing about learning these piano chord voicings is that they provide you with nice minor chord, dominant chord and major chord piano voicings.  Guess what!  That ii piano chord voicing can be used on just about any minor chord!  The same goes for the dominant and major chord piano 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 piano chord voicings on almost every chord of every song you know!

Improve your sound by experimenting with your newfound piano chord voicings!  Visit the Chord Voicings section to learn all the ii-V7-I progression variations.
