Voicing the 2-5-1: Twelve Examples, from SIMPLE to ADVANCED

In this video, I will walk you through 12 different ways to voice the 2-5-1 progression in the key of C. We're going to start simple and easy, using triads, and then work our way up to more advanced voicings using concepts such as quartal harmony, polychords, tensions, cluster voicings, rootless chords and more. We won't be doing any substitutions, though - that's going to be a different video!

Although this video doesn't delve into the theory, here are some other videos from my channel that will help you explore some of the concepts here in more depth.
