Today we are going to learn how to create a jazz ii-V-I progression and with that we are going to also learn how to extend it with the 7ths and then we are going to keep pushing the chords further, then we will add some moving chords, scale lines and arpeggios as well. So after this lesson you will be able to take a chord sheet, or use your knowledge of chord progressions and make nice jazz loop and then extend it to make it sound jazzier then add some lines to it to really make your ii-V-I pop.

Jazz ii V I Upgrade Ukulele#1

Comments

Dr. Ronald S. Ipock

I prefer the minor 2-5-1 which is just a little different. The ii is a m7b5 which all ukulele players should practice because the m7b5=the 9=the m6...so that you get 3 chords for the price of one. The V is usually a 7b9. You can play it as a 7#9 but why when the 7b9 is already the dim7 shape we all know. The ii is just something minor like a minor triad or a minor 7 or anything else with a b3 in it.

Dr. Ronald S. Ipock

My bigger worry nowadays is what to play over my 2-5-1. I can pick which voicings to use and then get into a 2-5-1 groove. Then I have to worry about how to insert some melody. I have been playing a dorian over the 2, a phrygian dominant over the 5, and a diminished dominant over the 1. Of course I don't play them all at once. If I did I would lose the groove. I just play one of them every so often as some variety. I also will do a two-octave run of the dim7 arpeggio over the II chord just to change things up.
