Progressions in D# — Bass (5-String)

Every chord the key of D# contains, seen from the bottom: roots, distances, lines.

D# major harmonizes to D# – Fm – Gm – G# – A# – Cm – D°; D# minor to D#m – F° – F# – G#m – A#m – B – C#. To the rest of the band those are chords — to you they are a map of root movements, and each one links to its Bass (5-String) page with the tones to fill the space between roots.

Loop the workhorse moves — I–IV–V, ii–V–I, i–VI–VII — in D# until your hand knows the distances, then start dressing the roots with fifths, octaves, and approach notes.
