Grab your guitar, because in today’s practice session you’re playing one of my favorite minor ii-V-I chord patterns.

When learning jazz guitar chords, you spend a lot of time on major ii-V-I’s, jazz blues, and other progressions.

But.

What about minor key jazz progressions?

Yes, they can be more challenging than major key ii-V-I’s at first. And…

With some helpful voicings, a fun practice routine, and some reps on your fretboard, you’ll be nailing minor key ii-V-I chords in no time.

In this lesson, you begin by comping some of my favorite minor ii-V-I chord shapes.

Next, you learn how to apply an essential jazz rhythm to those chords, before separating the top note from the chord to sound like 2 guitars.

How cool is that?

Then, you finish by personalizing the chords in your comping as you and I jam together over the minor ii-V-I progression.

Have fun as you learn new chord shapes, build up your minor chord progression skill set, and expand your creative comping vocabulary in this lesson.
