Hello all,

Try this 2-5-1 out.. it may only be a few notes but it sounds great. These are rootless voicing meaning that the root of each chord is not being playing in either the LH or the RH so you could use these chords with either a bass player or when the organist is running bass.. I would use these chords during a slow song.. it has a that type of sound to me.

To get the sound if rootless voicing are new to you... play the bass note (BN) and use the sustain pedal to hold the bass note then move up the piano to play the chords...

You'll be in the key of C
Dm / G / C
BN/LH/RH

D/FC/EA
G/FB/EA
C/EA/DG

Now to the key of Db
Ebm / Ab / Db
BN/LH/RH

Eb/GbDb/FBb
Ab/GbC/FBb
Db/FBb/EbAb

Keep going until you get to Gb, now play the 2-5-1 progression this way when you get to key of Gb (this voicing will help you stay in the same range on the keyboard as you're changing keys... keeping the chord changes smooth...)
Key of Gb
Abm  / Db / Gb
BN/LH/RH

Ab/GbCb/EbBb
Db/FCb/EbAb
Gb/EbBb/DbAb

Now to key of G
Am / D / G
BN/LH/RH

A/GC/EB
D/F#C/EB
G/EB/DA


Continue to Cb and you've done you're 2-5-1 in every Major key!!! These are great voicings to use in group settings when the piano is not the only instrument.
