Dorian Vamp · R&B / Soul
i7 · IV7 in the key of A
The minor-seven-to-dominant lift — smoky, modern, endless.
Four bars of dorian vamp in the key of A, written i7 · IV7 and played let it ring over a backbeat groove at around 100 beats per minute. The chord shapes are below, and you can hear the whole thing play — and slow it down — without an account.
Opens in the Progression Lab. No account, nothing to sign in to — ten minutes of playback a day, and an hour with a free account.
This is i7 · IV7 in the key of A — the degree of each chord is what makes the progression recognisable in any key, so the same four moves transpose anywhere once you know them by number.
The top voice walks down instead. Same chords, opposite story.
Low E on the left, high e on the right. 0 is an open string, × is one you do not play.
