It's never too late, Mark! And you'd be surprised how much you can learn quickly when you really put your mind to something. If you want to give Pickup a try then we have 14-day free trial available, you can learn a lot in two weeks!
"...and after about 18 months of practicing scales, arpeggios, voicings, and bass lines - as well as the melody line in every key - you should be ready to try and play your first jazz standard!"
Is it right to think about this process as an iterative one, where you can work through the steps many times to achieve a more complete understanding, or should someone focus entirely on one step before attending to the next?
Possibly both, it depends on the step itself. The earlier steps have more definitive answers, eg. finding the bass notes or learning the melody, there is less room for flexibility here in most cases. However, when going through the harmony step, there can be many more possibilities here depending on your style, using techniques like passing chords, substitutions, reharmonization etc. You can see these 8 steps as a framework to build off and find what works best for you. For example, you could go through all the steps once, get familiar with the track, and then do them again to try out different ideas, or develop your existing ones. You might experiment with walking bass, different harmony, or embellishing the melody line.
I don't know if Im looking way too much into it but I can translate it as: first pattern: I second: VI third : V each pattern has a II-V-I-IV measurement that repeats in each one. There is the exact same distance between II-V-I-IV and VI-II-V-I , although I still dont understand why VII-III7-VI-VI7 finishes in VI7 instead of II.
Love this guy. So chill, so knowledgable and a great player.
Couldn't agree more, Cecil is a top-class educator and performer!
I have much to learn - and so little time - I should have started earlier.

@@PickupjazzGreat strategy bro.
Thank you
Welcome!
Which course is this from?
This video lesson is from our Jazz Pathway course with Cecil
I don't know if Im looking way too much into it but I can translate it as:
first pattern: I
second: VI
third : V
each pattern has a II-V-I-IV measurement that repeats in each one. There is the exact same distance between II-V-I-IV and VI-II-V-I , although I still dont understand why VII-III7-VI-VI7 finishes in VI7 instead of II.
cause VI7 is the dominant of the ii that is coming next
