Grab your guitar, because in today’s practice session you’re playing one of my favorite minor ii-V-I chord patterns. When learning jazz guitar chords, you spend a lot of time on major ii-V-I’s, jazz blues, and other progressions. But. What about minor key jazz progressions? Yes, they can be more challenging than major key ii-V-I’s at first. And… With some helpful voicings, a fun practice routine, and some reps on your fretboard, you’ll be nailing minor key ii-V-I chords in no time. In this lesson, you begin by comping some of my favorite minor ii-V-I chord shapes. Next, you learn how to apply an essential jazz rhythm to those chords, before separating the top note from the chord to sound like 2 guitars. How cool is that? Then, you finish by personalizing the chords in your comping as you and I jam together over the minor ii-V-I progression. Have fun as you learn new chord shapes, build up your minor chord progression skill set, and expand your creative comping vocabulary in this lesson.
