TUTORIAL 9 (PART 2)
MINOR II V I VOICINGS
Tutorials: [1] - [2] - [3] - [4] - [5] - [6] - [7] - [8] - [9: Part 1]


Voicing solutions for the Minor II V I progression are more involved than for the Major II V I.

Chord symbols for the Minor II V I in the key of C are:

  • Dmi7b5 - G7b9 - Cmima7 or Cmi6

The first approach is to simply chromatically alter or "minorise" our existing Major II V I voicings to accomodate the additions / alterations found in the above symbols. In ex.6 (Type A) and ex.7 (Type B) the voicings for Dmi7 - G7 - Cma7 are "minorised" by:

  • Lowering the 5th of II (Dmi7 becomes Dmi7b5)
  • Lowering the 9th of V (G7 becomes G7b9)
  • Lowering the 3rd of I (Cma7 becomes Cmima7 or Cmi6)
