Circle progressions, circular progression or circle of fifths progressions are very strong chord progressions based on the V – I (dominant – tonic) relationship as seen in the circle of fifths. They where used in the Baroque era by composers as Bach, Vivaldi and Händel, but also in Jazz and Rock they are still often used. Bach used circle progressions all the time and example is the Brandenburg concerts. In Jazz they are used in smaller versions like the vi – ii – V – I and the ii – V – I progression and in Rock and pop you can find this circle of fifths progression in songs like Still got the blues by Gary Moore and I will survive sung by Gloria Gainer. 0:00 1.

In part 2 of my crystal-clear negative harmony tutorial, I’ll show you how to reflect a piece of music into a negative harmony version that results in a darker and very different version of the original music. You’ll learn what negative harmony really is and how to transform melodies and chords around a specific axis that lies between the minor and major 3rd of a major scale. We’ll take the Menuet in G by Johan Sebastian Bach as example and we transform a theme by Steve Vai into a negative harmony version. You’ll also learn how to transform an II-V-I progression into negative harmony. This is what you need to know first, to understand the hot subject of Negative Harmony that was invented (more of less) by Ernst Levy and popularized by Jacob Collier. *Chapters:* 0:00 Introduction 0:29 Negative harmony short 01:42 Dark and bright in the Circle of Fifths 03:02 Axis of Reflection 05:13 Reflecting triads 07:31 Quickly find the negative root 08:58 Example with triads 11:04 Preserved tension 13:27 7th chords 17:46 Example with 7th chords 20:58 Conclusion *Crystal Clear E-BOOKS with audio files:* https://qjamtracks.shopify.com *Tabs and tracks at PATREON:* http://www.patreon.com/Qjamtracks *Social Media/contact: * https:// facebook.com/QJamTracks https:// instagram.com/QJamTracks https:// youtube.com/QJamTracks *Strandberg Guitars* https://strandbergguitars.com *Fractal Audio (FM9)* https://www.fractalaudio.com (c)2024 Rob van Hal, Netherlands$
