Chord progression

F#m7 ii7
B7 V7
Emaj7 Imaj7

How to practice

  1. 1 Play chord tones (3rd and 7th) on each chord - they define the harmony clearly
  2. 2 Use F# Dorian mode on F#m7, then resolve into E Major scale on Emaj7
  3. 3 All four sharps; this is still in the 'natural sharp' family-use the relative minor (C# minor) mindset if it helps

Suggested scales & modes

  • E Major scale
  • F# Dorian mode
