STOP playing boring 2 5 1 chord progression do THIS instead

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

In this video, I'm presenting a new way of thinking about the very popular jazz chord progression the 2 5 1 progression. It’s a concept that you can use in both your comping and improvisation. As it turns out it’s very easy to play although you may get a few blisters on your brain thinking about it at the start. We also include some concepts from previous lessons so we have that ‘connected’ learning process happening. As always, I hope you get a lot out of it!

Im just getting into the Barry Harris approach and this was exactly what I needed to show how useful that approach is, and musical. Any recommendations for newer students of Barry’s approach on guitar?

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

I'm glad you found this lesson helpful. For students interested in this type of approach I'd start with our Jazz Guitar Chord Melody Playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5mrY5eBa7amrKs they are a series of foundation lessons presented in a progressive sequence that gives the student a way to apply theoretical concepts to the guitar fingerboard. I hope this helps you. Mike
