Julien Baker – Sprained Ankle

Bm7 - Bb7 | Am7 - Ab7 | G7 - C9 | G7 - D9 (or Daug)

Audio (MIDI): Stormy Monday progression (short):

Often the last dominant 9th chord (D9) is replaced by an augmented chord, Daug or Daug7.

Old Love

This is an example for a non Blues specific chord sequence. It uses the progression

Am – Dm7/A – G7sus4 – G

Audio (MIDI): Old Love:

to go from the tonic Am (key is A minor) to the leading tone G, which is the dominant of the relative major scale C. Dm7 is the subdominant of Am as well as the dominant of G. Instead of playing a simple G chord (which would fit anyway) we use another replacment of Dm7, G7sus4. This again leads finally to G. So we used the basic rules: only notes fitting the scale and keeping at least two notes when going to the next chord. See it:

Am      A-C-E
