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

By Stef Ramin On 2021-11-19 0

This lesson is the third part of the serie "Jazz Guitar Lines Over Common Chord Changes" that provides easy jazz guitar licks for beginners to play over II V, II V I and I IV II V progressions. These lines are majoritarily built with the major blues scale, the Mixolydian mode and a whole-tone scale motif.

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).
