    ii V i (2 5 1) is a great sequence with which to develop your improvisation skills.
    This lesson will show you how to play through it confidently, from visualising the chord positions to building up your phrasing ideas.
    But while this lesson focuses on ii V i, a commonly used turnaround in music old and new, the process I show you can be applied for any chord progression.
    1) Identify the chord tones - start by building arpeggio patterns around chord shape positions you know.
    2) Create simple exercises by moving between chord tones as the chords change. Start with just one tone per chord and gradually build up to more elaborate arpeggio expressions.
    3) Work in your scale phrases, still using those chord tones as a support mechanism for your solo through each chord change.
    4) Do the same in different positions on the neck.
    This process will not only keep your solos connected to the music, it will help you keep your bearings during a solo, never second guessing where to put your fingers or being thrown by a chord change.
    Hope you enjoy it. Please "like" it if you do! Don't forget to visit the lesson page for jam tracks, diagrams and more to help you master ii V i...

    I love these lessons frettjam, but im slightly confused, shouldn't the V chord of the Aminor scale be Eminor7 not E7 ?

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  10 лет назад +27

      If you were strictly using the natural minor scale as your harmonic basis then yes, its 5 chord would naturally be minor. But composers/songwriters tend to opt for a major 5 chord because it carries more harmonic tension. It also allows you to use the leading 7th tone of harmonic minor (7 over the V chord resolves to 1 over the i chord).
      So it's all about enhancing the tension > resolution dynamic.

    fretjam a personal question please don't mind...
    actually i am frustrated because i never feel like i can play guitar like anything else...physics and mathematics is lot easier
    so
    what job do you do . ...
    how do you manage your time making this videos
    do you live on on job or through music....
    i am curious because being a teacher i don't have a moment To touch my guitars neck....
    does music helps you to live well of ....
    it seems to me i have been messing all those years i wasted money on picks,string,guitars,even broked one of them

    I’m a little confused over the 2-5-1 harmonic minor scale. E7 is not part of the Am/C scale right? It would be a v chord but has been elevated to a dominant V7 chord, which I believe can be considered converting the movement to a “true” minor key (rather than a relative minor key that just swaps the 1&6, but still uses the relative Major key’s dominant chord). So does Melodic Minor only apply for soloing if the a v chord is converted to a dominant?
    I think I got that right, but then when does harmonic minor come into play?

    • @gabrielmahutasoit8953
      @gabrielmahutasoit8953 2 года назад

      This minor scale is actually the harmonic minor, where we have a leading tone (potrayed by E7, the note is G# (before the root A)) to carry more tension.

  • @paingsoe910

    I love your teaching style but can you tell me why we have a Major 5 in a minor turn around progression sir? does it mean dominant has no gender (smile)?
    in this context ? thanks awesome channel Thanks and WOW!!

    • @Allthewrongkeys821
      @Allthewrongkeys821 3 года назад

      That’s a really good question. I noticed the same thing. If youre still wondering I think i can eplain. He said that this ii V i is a commonly used progression over minor but perhaps he should have first demonstrated the natural minor version first ( ii v i).
      To answer your question the( major) V is being borrowed from the harmonic minor scale. the (minor) v corresponds to the phrygian mode and the the (major) V corresponds to the phrygian dominant mode, the fifth degree of harmonic minor. This changes the v to V and adds more tension and anticipation for resolve on the i chord. Hopefully that makes sense.

    You have the very best website for guitar lessons that I've ever found. The information presented has helped me more than you'll ever know.
    I have one request: is it possible to reference a few fret number positions at the bottom of the illustrations for the lesson you are presenting? This would help very much. Please keep up your excellent work!

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  10 лет назад

      Thanks Bill. I will make sure I add the fret numbers from now on, although I would strongly encourage guitarists to learn the fret numbers by their relation to the inlay markers.

    • @Rockitt88
      @Rockitt88 10 лет назад

      I always locate patterns as they relate to tonics involved. On my charts all my tonics are circled in RED so I always know where I am, or at least where I SHOULD be. Of course you have to have your tonics memorized but its the same octave pattern for all keys and not too hard to do, it just slides up or down. With some basic fretboard knowledge being located properly is fairly straightforward, it's the playing properly that is the tricky part :-) On a related note I find substituting a minor 7th for a dominant chord, or vice versa, is never a problem. Personal choice depending on the sound your after.

  • @jonf1485
    @jonf1485 6 лет назад

    Sorry, but is the E7 considered a secondary dominate here? The reason I ask is because Em is the iii of C/ iv of Am.

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  6 лет назад +2

      Sure, if you started in the C major key, for example, then played Bm7b5, E7, Am, you might interpret the E7 as a secondary dominant to vi. You can also use this as a way of changing key to any of the minor chords in the scale - ii, iii or vi - building a minor 2 5 1 that resolves on one of those minor chords. Examples...
      Cmaj / Em7b5 / A7 / Dm (Dm could then become the new key).
      Cmaj / F#m7b5 / B7 / Em (Em could become the new key).
      You could make this a temporary modulation or stay in those keys, even play around with the relative major key of these new minor keys. So quite a few options by using minor 2 5 1 in different places.

  • @jamesrobinson529
    @jamesrobinson529 10 лет назад +1

    When playing minor ii V i, play a m7 arpeggio from the b3 of the m7b5 chord, which is the ii chord. A min/maj7 arpeggio & the melodic minor scale can be played from the b3 of the m7b5 chord. A min7+5 arpeggio can be played from the b5 of the m7b5 chord.
    The Super Locrian (Altered Scale) can be played from the root of the V chord. Thusly, the Melodic Minor scale & the modes / arpeggios that are diatonic to Melodic Minor can be played a half step above the V chord, in diatonic succession.

  • @jamesrobinson529
    @jamesrobinson529 10 лет назад +7

    Anyone ever notice that 2+5+1=8 & eight is a symbol for infinity? The weird thing is that you can modulate w/ ii V's forever. 2+5=7 which is Gods perfect number. Very interesting huh?

      Notice how 5-1 = 4 and 4 is 2 squared. Now, if you see that 2 + 1 = 5 - 2, which is equal to 3, we have now 23, which is a prime number, just like 2 and 5. And if you sum 2+3 you got 5, and 3-2 you got 1. Now check this out: 5-2 is 3, 5 +1 is 6, if we have 3 times the digit 6, we got 666, OMG. Illuminati confirmed.
