LESSON DETAILS
2-5-1 Essentials
In this important lesson for ALL styles, we will talk about the core ingredients of a 2-5-1 progression and chord voicings. Once you understand these core concepts, it is easier to add upon them to create richer and fuller voicings. We will also discuss voice-leading and show you how to smoothly move between chords. There will be a followup to this lesson with several progression examples.
LESSON COLLECTION DETAILS
The 2-5-1 (ii-V-I) progression is one of the most popular progressions in jazz music. This course will show you all the "in and outs" of this progression and give you a bunch of licks to play over both major and minor 2-5-1 progressions.
