Chorus progression: A♭ major to G minor to B♭ major
How to create a smooth, jazzy feel with chord progressions
About this lesson
This chord progression gives Valerie its smooth, jazzy feel. It starts with an E♭ major 7 barre shape, then moves up to F minor using the same idea, which keeps everything tight and soulful. The chorus shifts to A♭ major down to G minor, creating that warm, laid-back groove before resolving to B♭ major and looping back around. Once you see how these barre shapes connect, the whole song opens up and the progression becomes really easy to move around the neck in any key.
