Minor ii-V Vocabulary Starters

[@ab4941]

thank you. I really like the way you communicate knowledge about jazz music on your channel. I personally play guitar for numerous years and was always a jazz listener but never really managed to properly confront playing using the jazz language (apart from some blues improves and some simple jazz "like" standards). the way you simplify the explanations of the jazz language makes it both motivating and approachable. Personally I look for ways to improve my learning curve. I try to do a lot of ear training (interval recognition etc.) and up until know I feel like the most important (and often a pretty teadious exercise) is to try to transcribe music that we like. I looked around for some motivic based approach to learn the jazz language (try to write down the lines that I like and focus on theory only when necessary). Do you have any suggestions in general concerning learning the jazz language? and tips or tricks that allowed you to learn quicker? Anyways, thanks again for your content.

Thinking of the IIm7b5 as if it were a minor 6 chord is an idea that harkens back to a lot of the original chords of the show tunes that became jazz standards. Instead of IIm7b5 V7b9 Im they used to be IVm7 V7b9 Im.
