I VI II V progression | |
====================== | |
Assuming you can | |
1) Substitute the minor IV for a dominant IV and the minor II for a dominant II | |
2) Substitue any of the VI/II's (because of #1) or V for a tritone equivalent | |
So...Some notation/glossary for the below: | |
------------------------------------------ | |
MMS => major instead of minor | |
"minor to major switch" | |
only allowed on a VI chord or a II chord. (if they are minor) | |
only allowed from minor to major. | |
SUB => Tritone substitution = SUB | |
"substitution" | |
these always have to be switched to dominant 7 chords | |
can switch any of the turnaround chords. | |
============= | |
Combinations | |
============= | |
Okay, going through the combos... | |
* straight ahead (simple case) | |
C Am Dm G7 ;; 0 MMS, 0 SUB | |
* MMS (only on VI and II) | |
C Am D7 G7 ;; 1 MMS (the II) | |
C A7 Dm G7 ;; 1 MMS (the VI) | |
C A7 D7 G7 ;; 2 MMS (the II and IV) | |
* Substitutions (can do on all VI II V, just not I) | |
C Eb7 Dm G7 ;; 1 SUB (the VI) | |
C Am G#7 G7 ;; 1 SUB (the II) | |
C Am Dm C#7 ;; 1 SUB (the V) | |
C Eb7 G#7 G7 ;; 2 SUBS (the VI and the II) | |
C Eb7 Dm C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the VI and the V) | |
C Am G#7 C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the II and the V) | |
C Eb7 G#7 C#7 ;; 3 SUBS (the IV, II and the V) | |
* MMS AND SUBS | |
C Eb7 D7 G7 ;; 1 SUB (the VI) + 1 MMS (the II) | |
C A7 G#7 G7 ;; 1 SUB (the II) + 1 MMS (the VI) | |
C A7 D7 C#7 ;; 1 SUB (the V) + 2 MMS (the VI and II) | |
C Eb7 D7 C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the VI and the V) + 1 MMS (the II) | |
C A7 G#7 C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the II and the V) + 1 MMS (the VI) | |
can't add a MMS to this one: C Eb7 G#7 G7 ;; 2 SUBS (cause the VI and the II are already dominant) | |
====================================================================================== | |
These are basically all the same progression! (but all uniq at the same time!) - same I VI II V progression... | |
====================================================================================== | |
So to sum up the above: | |
C Am Dm G7 ;; 0 MMS, 0 SUB | |
C Am D7 G7 ;; 1 MMS (the II) | |
C A7 Dm G7 ;; 1 MMS (the VI) | |
C A7 D7 G7 ;; 2 MMS (the II and IV) | |
C Eb7 Dm G7 ;; 1 SUB (the VI) | |
C Am G#7 G7 ;; 1 SUB (the II) | |
C Am Dm C#7 ;; 1 SUB (the V) | |
C Eb7 G#7 G7 ;; 2 SUBS (the VI and the II) | |
C Eb7 Dm C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the VI and the V) | |
C Am G#7 C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the II and the V) | |
C Eb7 G#7 C#7 ;; 3 SUBS (the IV, II and the V) | |
C Eb7 D7 G7 ;; 1 SUB (the VI) + 1 MMS (the II) | |
C A7 G#7 G7 ;; 1 SUB (the II) + 1 MMS (the VI) | |
C A7 D7 C#7 ;; 1 SUB (the V) + 2 MMS (the VI and II) | |
C Eb7 D7 C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the VI and the V) + 1 MMS (the II) | |
C A7 G#7 C#7 ;; 2 SUBS (the II and the V) + 1 MMS (the VI) | |
Now do that for all 12 keys: | |
| I | VI | II | V | | |
