In this lesson, I share 20 of my favorite chordal movements drawn from both major and minor ii–V progressions. Each example is demonstrated and discussed in depth, with a focus on how to bring out the musicality behind the changes.
We’ll explore essential concepts such as chromatic approaches, tritone substitutions, and the vital role of melody and voice leading in making your progressions sing.
The included PDF provides all 20 examples clearly notated, giving you a detailed reference to study and practice from.
This lesson is designed to expand your harmonic vocabulary while showing you how to apply these movements tastefully and musically.
