In this guitar lesson with shapes, tab, video and analysis you will learn how to use seventh arpeggios over important jazz chord sequences as minor & major II V , major II V I and I vi ii V progressions.
You'll find the link to the PDF at the bottom of the page.
The lesson is based on an 8-bar progression implying three common chord changes that are :
One Major 2 5 1 sequence in Ab (iim7| V7 | Imaj7) implying three chords : Bbmin7, Eb9 and Abmaj7.
Two major 2 5 sequences :
one in Gb with the chords Abm7 (iim7) and Db7 (V7).
One in the key of Eb including two chords that are Fm7 (iim7) and Bb13 (V7).
One 1 6 2 5 progression in Eb better known as "turnaround" (Imaj7 | vim7 | iim7 | V7) with four chords : Ebmaj7 (I), Cm7 (vim7), Fm7 (iim7) and Bb7 (V7).
And to finish, one Minor 2 5 (iim7b5 | V7) made of two chords : Gm7b5 (iim7b5) and C7b9 (V7b9).
Melodic Analysis (arpeggios)
Here is a short analysis of the arpeggios use to build the melody.
Measure 1 : Eb Ionian (major scale) over Ebmaj7, nothing more obvious.
Measure 2 and 3 : Dbmaj7 arpeggio (Db, F, Ab, C) to emphasize the b3, 5, b7 and 9 of Bbm. Notice the passing tone between F and G to target the seventh (G) of Abmaj7.
