People often play a 2-5-1 the same way every time, with root position chords nothing moving, and it sounds fine but flat.

In this video I take one 2-5-1 and play it five ways, starting with the simplest version and building up to how a pro would actually voice it.

By the end you'll hear exactly what turns a basic progression into something that sounds rich and intentional, and you'll have five versions you can take straight to the keys.

Work through them in order, or skip to the level you're ready for.
