Jazz Guitar Lines Over Classic Jazz Chord Sequences - PDF, Video, Tab and Chord Shapes (part 3)

Chord Progressions Used In This Study

Here is a brief analysis of the chord changes on which the lesson is based.

• One Major 2 5 1 sequence in Ab (iim7| V7 | Imaj7) made of three chords that are Bbmin7, Eb9 and Abmaj7.
• Two major 2 5 progressions in two different keys :
  • Key of Gb with the chords Abm7 (iim7) and Db7 (V7).
  • Key of Eb with Fm7 (iim7) and Bb13 (V7).
• One 1 6 2 5 sequence in Eb (Imaj7 | vim7 | iim7 | V7) built with the following four chords : Ebmaj7 (I), Cm7 (vim7), Fm7 (iim7) and Bb7b5 (V7). Notice the use of a dominant seventh flat five chord (7b5) that bring a little bit of tension to this part. If you don't know what's a 7b5 chord, please go read the lesson about altered chords on guitar.
• One Minor 2 5 (iim7b5 | V7) made of two chords : Gm7b5 (iim7b5) and C7b9 (V7b9).
