In this jazz piano lesson we explore the beautiful 1436251 jazz piano chord progression in the key of Eb Major. If you are looking for a rich and lush jazz chord progression to use as an introduction to your jazz standards, this is the chord progression you have been waiting for.
We start by building the diatonic 7th chords in the key of Eb to understand the basic chords that we are working with. We then start to change the chord qualities to dominant 7th chords which allows us to access more interesting chord extensions and chord alterations. If you are unsure how to play jazz chords and connect the chords in the progression smoothly, you will learn the basics in this jazz piano tutorial.
2 essential chord progressions in jazz music are the 251 progression and the 36251 progression, both of which are covered in this lesson. These progressions are used in jazz, blues, funk gospel, and many other styles of improvised music.
This progression is the perfect introduction for any tune that starts on the Imaj7 chord. A nice touch is to run up the upper structure triad on the final V7 chord which then leads smoothly and convincingly into the start of the tune. We demonstrate using this chord progression to create an introduction for the famous tunes "Misty" and "Over The Rainbow".

The rain sounds in this track range from gentle drizzles to steady rainfall, creating a natural rhythm that the human brain finds deeply soothing. Research has shown that rain sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and promoting relaxation. The audio captures the full spectrum of rainfall, from the soft patter on leaves to the deeper tones of rain on various surfaces.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. Rain sounds have been scientifically shown to reduce cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. The consistent, natural rhythm helps regulate heart rate and breathing, promoting a state of deep relaxation. Many listeners report improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety after incorporating rain sounds into their routines. Students have found that this background audio improves concentration and information retention during study sessions.
Research in environmental psychology has demonstrated that rain sounds belong to a category called 'pink noise' - sounds that have equal energy per octave. Unlike white noise, pink noise more closely mimics natural sound patterns, which the human brain finds inherently calming. Studies published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology found that pink noise can enhance deep sleep by synchronizing brain waves with the sound patterns. The rhythmic, predictable nature of rainfall activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering a relaxation response that reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
