backdoor progressions
targeting iii
standard:stella by starlight
A focused harmony lesson that analyzes Stella by Ear's measures 9–13 and demonstrates how to target iī–V of the III and use backdoor progressions in practical playing.
This lesson breaks down the harmonic motion in the next eight measures of Stella by Ear, showing how the Eø–A7 functions as a ii–V of the III and how backdoor progressions reshape movement to the V. Ariel and Adam demonstrate melodic targets, roman-numeral perspective, and clear practice shortcuts for targeting the III in any key using minor7b5 ii–V patterns. Includes assignments: play ii–V of III across keys and practice backdoor progressions to the V, plus a PDF with the lesson materials for members.
