5 of 2
5 of 2
Not as common as 5 of 6, but still a very commonly used sound depending on the genre.
-In the key, it feels like a Major 6 chord
-Almost always played as Spicy Dominant (Dominant with b2/b3/b6)

Key of B
Loop is:
2 - 5 - 1 - 5of2
(C#m - F#7 - B - G#7)
I heard this song when I was out at dinner. After I heard this song, I heard the song below which also had a 5of2. Something to keep your ears open for in this genre apparently!
Tell Me
- Fifty Fifty -
Key of E
Loop is:
2 - 5 - 3 - 5of2
(F#m - B - G#m - C#7)
Remarkably similar to the song above. Exact same progression except they replace 1 with 3, a common modification people use in progressions. There might be some slightly different moments at times in the tune, but it's mostly just a loop.
Maxwells' Silver Hammer
- The Beatles -
Key of D
Intro Progression:
1 - 5of2 - 2 - 2
5 - 5 - 1 - 5
(D - B7 - Em - Em)
(A7 - A7 - D - A7)
A bunch of other stuff is happening in this tune, like a 5of5 in the chorus progression (0:37), and the next progression at 0:51 has a 5of6 and a 5of4. Lot's of stuff, as per usual with The Beatles and other groups from this era.
Kill Bill
- SZA -
Key of Ab
Song:
2 - 5 - 1 - 5of2
(Bbm - Eb - Ab - F7)
Because 5 of 2 is the 5 of a minor chord, we can easily play that F7 with a b2, b3, b6. The connected diminished and augmented are aslo fine choices.

Key of E
Song:
2 - 5 - 1 - 5of2
(F#m - B7 - E - C#7)
Because 5 of 2 is the 5 of a minor chord, we can easily play that F7 with a b2, b3, b6. The connected diminished and augmented are aslo fine choices.
The rest of the chords also have larger voicings. Also pretty much the same as the SZA song above.
