Modern Jazz Vocabulary Vol.3 Minor ii-V-i
Improvising over the minor ii-7, V7, i chord progression can be challenging for both the beginning and advanced jazz musician. This book contains over 1600 Bars of minor ii-V7-i melodies, licks and patterns in all 12 keys. The material is designed to help one develop an aural, technical and theoretical understanding of this common chord progression in each key. The lines use a variety of rhythmic groupings, chord substitutions, triads, triad pairs, chromatics, approach notes, tensions, chord tones, non chord tones, scales, and both “inside” and “outside” concepts, all with an emphasis on melody. Work on the content as you like. You can focus on one bar or one short melody at a time or just play through the material. I recommend using a metronome and learning to sing the individual ideas that you find most interesting and compelling. Enjoy! Matt Otto
