SHORT CHORDVERSATIONS #2 (Dyadic Shift: ii-V7-I) Video Masterclass + backing track

SHORT CHORDVERSATIONS #2 (Dyadic Shift: ii-V7-I)

In this mini-lesson series my goal is to share with all of you some of the fun and interesting practicing concepts I enjoy working on when I study harmony on the guitar.

Part 2 covers an interesting and challenging harmonic exercise which consists in trying to voice a ii-V7-I chord progression where you select a four note ii (min7) chord and you are only allowed to move two of its voices/notes in order to produce the V7 (dominant) chord that should follow.

Once you are at the V7 chord you are once again allowed to only move two of its four voices in order to produce the expected resolution to you Imaj7 (tonic) chord.

After we arrive at the tonic you are once again allowed to only move two of its voices in order to produce a new ii (min7) chord and start the whole harmonic cycle again.

The challenge is to try to continue this Dyadic Shift as much as possible until you completely run out of chordal options or it is no longer possible to produce the desired harmony with only a two note movement.

In the following pages and Video Masterclass I present 11 of these ii-V7-I cycles which are produced only by the starting four note harmony and the allowed two voice movement between each chord.
