Listen to episode 104







Today's episode is a short but sweet show all about I-VI-ii-V chord progressions. I demonstrate 3 licks that you can learn and practice.
I like doing shows like this every once in a while because, at the end of the day, I want you to take action and start applying some of the stuff I talk about.
I composed these 3 licks to perfectly outline each chord in this chord progression and connect each chord seamlessly. The goal is for you to start identifying how to melodically connect all of these chords.
Here are the 3 licks I cover in this episode:
Lick #1

Lick #2

Lick #3

I would suggest picking just one of these licks that you resonate most with and start working it through all 12 keys. Doing this practice will help you start to truly unlock this jazz language.
