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.
