iiø7 · V7 · i6 in the key of D
The dark sentence — half-diminished in, dominant through, minor six home.
Four bars of minor ii-v-i in the key of D, written iiø7 · V7 · i6 and played let it ring over a hi-hat groove at around 112 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.
