This lesson is for the more advance jazz player. Jazz is full of the II - V - I progression. To be a jazz pianist you really have to be able to play all the 12 major and minor - II - V - I's and be able to produce variations of these II - V - I's in the required key in real time when required. Jazz pianists are always looking for variations with chord voicings so I thought I would share some voicings I use. This lesson is showing you a cool rootless (no root notes) major - II - V - I in all 12 keys with a 9 on the II minor 7 chord, a b9 and b13 on the V dominant 7 chord and a 9 on the I major 7 chord. This is a great major II - V - I and I still use it today.
Notice the semitone movement in the right hand. This will help you play it fluently.
I hope it helps.
Take it easy,
Greg.
