| Minor ii7(b5)-V7(#5#9) cycles | ||||||||
| Minor ii-V cycles are obviously closely related to a normal ii-V-I cycle. This cycle however, is used when going to a minor chord. Mostly, in Gospel, in minor chords you can go to with this progression are either a ii chord or a vi chord. Lets go to the key of G major. A vi chord in the key of G would be an E minor. So, the ii-V of E minor is (just count up the minor scale) F# (ii) and B (vi). Now lets add our alterations to those chords. F#7(b5) (R.H. E-F#-A-C/ L.H. F#-E) and B7(#5#9) (Eb-G-A-D/ B-A) For Example. When I think about the Lord in G G D/F# Em When I think about the Lord, how he saved me.... Now lets put in the minor ii-V cycle G F#7(#5#9) B7(#5#9) Em When I think about the Lord, how he saved me.... Amazing Grace D11 G Em how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. D11 G F#7(#5#9) B7(#5#9) Em how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. |
