ii V i (2 5 1) is a great sequence with which to develop your improvisation skills.

This lesson will show you how to play through it confidently, from visualising the chord positions to building up your phrasing ideas.

But while this lesson focuses on ii V i, a commonly used turnaround in music old and new, the process I show you can be applied for any chord progression.

1) Identify the chord tones - start by building arpeggio patterns around chord shape positions you know.

2) Create simple exercises by moving between chord tones as the chords change. Start with just one tone per chord and gradually build up to more elaborate arpeggio expressions.

3) Work in your scale phrases, still using those chord tones as a support mechanism for your solo through each chord change.

4) Do the same in different positions on the neck.

This process will not only keep your solos connected to the music, it will help you keep your bearings during a solo, never second guessing where to put your fingers or being thrown by a chord change.

Hope you enjoy it. Please "like" it if you do! Don't forget to visit the lesson page for jam tracks, diagrams and more to help you master ii V i...
