Content

We discuss a slightly different transition based on a different chord in the key. Instead of a "5 of" like we have done before, we talk about a "4 of" and the relative minor version, a "2 of". In my opinion this sound will give you a softer transitional sound, and while not as common as a "5 of" it can still be heard quite a bit, in particular when moving to the 4 chord.

Songs discussed:

"Hold on Loosely" - 38 special (key of E)

"You Are Good" - Israel Houghton (key of E)

"Best Part" - Daniel Caesar (key of D)
