Voicings in common chord progression

[hed_b94]

Discussing chords outside of a voice-leading and harmony context can lead to bad playing. I didn't see many threads like this, so let's start one.

Post here some of your favorite chords over common progressions, we can start with 2-5-1's both in major and minor, and I-VI-II-V.


Here is one over Dm7-G7-Cmaj7, it is like Bill Evans rootless voicings- contains the same notes, but in a different order.


C-F-A-E -> B-F-A-E -> B-E-G-D
and with tabs:

12 12 10
10 10 8
10 10 9
10 9 9
x x x
x x x

Speaking of Bill Evans he uses this a lot

Ami7 - D7 -(Gma7)

5537 - 4546 - (4435)

You could get a root in there but it takes a little work. He uses this voicing in The Two Lonely People moving down Bm-E7, Ami-D7, Gmi-C7

[M-ster]

I love that -7(11) voicing, JW.
