Step by step instructions to Learn Minor Chord Progressions

Stage 1. relative minor replacement – one of the most fundamental yet extremely powerful methods for making minor harmony movements is to supplant the “one” harmony with the “6th” harmony.

Here is a model in the key of C:

Harmonies made from the C significant scale

harmony 1 = C; harmony 2 = Dm; harmony 3 = Em; harmony 4 = F; harmony 5 = G harmony 6 = Am ; harmony 7 = Bdim; harmony 8 = C

By supplanting the “one” [C] harmony with the “6th” harmony [Am] a fascinating variety of a fundamental harmony movement is delivered.

Essential harmonies;

C/| F/| G/| C/| becomes …

Am/| F/| G/| Am/|

which carries me to stage 2

Stage 2: minor blues movements – Take a standard 12 bar blues movement and change all the harmonies to minor harmonies.

Ex 1. 12 bar blues in the key of An utilizing customary significant harmonies

A/|/|/|/| D/|/| A//|/|E//| D/| A//|/||

Ex 2. 12 blues with adjusted harmony movement

Am/|/|/|/| Dm/|/| Am/|/|Em/| Dm/| Am/|/||

Stage 3: Harmonic minor blues movements – this kind of movement is practically indistinguishable from the minor blues movement in sync 2 with the exception of utilization of a significant [E] or predominant seventh [E7] harmony in bar nine.

Ex 3. 12 blues with symphonious minor harmony movement utilizing significant harmony in bar nine.

Am/|/|/|/| Dm/|/| Am/|/|E/| Dm/| Am/|/||

Ex 4. 12 blues with symphonious minor harmony movement utilizing prevailing seventh harmony in bar nine.

Am/|/|/|/| Dm/|/| Am/|/|E7/| Dm/| Am/|/||

The motivation behind why we can utilize either major or prevailing seventh harmonies for the symphonious minor blues movement is that harmony five in the consonant scale [triadic version] is a significant harmony though harmony five in the consonant minor [scaletone seventh version] is a predominant seventh harmony.

While making a blues harmony movement dependent on the consonant minor scope either harmony can be utilized.

Triadic alludes to a ‘three note’ harmonization of a scale though the term scaletone seventh alludes to a four note harmonization.
