2.20Now transpose a chord progression
Take:
C → Am → F → G
In C this is:
I → vi → IV → V
Now move it to G major.
G major's chord family:
G Am Bm C D Em F♯°
Therefore:
I = G
vi = Em
IV = C
V = D
So:
G → Em → C → D
Move it to F:
F major:
F Gm Am B♭ C Dm E°
So:
I = F
vi = Dm
IV = B♭
V = C
Therefore:
F → Dm → B♭ → C
Same harmonic progression.
