B Unresolved Cycle
IV – V – I – vi progression in B major
B Unresolved Cycle — IV – V – I – vi
The B IV–V–I–vi progression (E – F# – B – G#m) creates a hypnotic, cyclical feel by ending on the minor vi chord instead of resolving to the tonic. With extended voicings (EMaj7 – F#7 – BMaj7 – G#m7), the unresolved quality becomes even more dreamy.
