A systematic view of open Chords for ii-V-I on Mini-Moschino 6-row System
In a recent discussion with Dallas Vietty (www.risingreed.com) about how to make "open chords", which I'm used to on the piano (which are usally voiced with 1-3-7s (to make ii-V-I) progression,
Dallas suggested fingering the 3rd up a tenth from the root.
These are reachable on the Moschino, definitely easier than on the Piano. This is a great advancement as the chord sounds rich with separation between the root (on the bass) and the chord tones the 7-3s.
Many standards (really most) include ii-V-I where the ii is Minor 7, the V is Dom7, and I is Maj7. This means that in a ii-V-I progression on the ii 3rd and 7th starts minor, then chord moves to the V where the 3rd is major, and the 7th is minor and then the I is made with the 3rd major and the 7th major.
Note that the ii-V-I in any key ends in the root chord position with the pinky on the root, and then the V is one circle-of-fifths diagonal row down, and the ii is another row down.
Not all these in all Keys fit easily on the mini-Moschino (6 row).
I spent some time mapping this out. The colors show motion (Red ii -> Orange V -> Green I)
Note: Closed chords also work, when the open chord structures don't fit.
