Shout out to Christopher Davis-Shannon for the inspiration for this lesson,    / untitledtopher  
or at IG @banjoleletinman.

The I - VI - II - V - I chord progression is one of the most popular progressions in Jazz.

We are in the key of C so the I chord is C, the VI chord is A, the II chord is D, and the V chord is G.

Normally the vi and the ii chords are minor but in this lesson we are going to make all the chords (except the C) dominant chords or 7th chords.

This gives it a little bounce and keeps the sound jumping.

I added a special ending that brings it all together.

After playing the I - VI - II - V progression 3 times you will end with a C, C diminished 7, G/B, and C.

The rhythm for this lesson will alternate between D DU D DU to DUMU(T)UDU. The D is downstroke, the U is upstroke, M is mute, and (T) is tie. There is a tie between beats “2” and the “+ of 2” in the second pattern.

To get the mute I will be using a right hand palm mute.
