4. II V I - Good Voice Leading:
   The II V I is the most used chord progression in jazz (aka jazz cadence). For a musical flow it’s important to have smooth transitions between the chords, witholut bigger jumps. In this lesson you learn how to have good voice leading comping the melody (head) of a song and during the solo (which requires different comping techniques).

5. Altered Chords:
   Learn what alterations are and when you have to alter dominant chords. Harmonising the altered scale, so you have a chord on each scale tone. Examples on how to integrate altered chords in a II V I progression. Examples for Comping, Rhythm Fills, Chord Melody, Chord Solos.

   The half-diminished chord is necessary for a ii V i in minor, but can also be used as a substitution over dominant chords. You’ll learn all the chords until the b-string and high e-strng, all over the fretboard. Then we’ll apply these chords over several ii V i examples in minor.

* You need the Guitar Pro software to open the GP files. Guitar Pro is a software by Arobas Music that plays back written music notation / TABS. I don't sell this software, I just write TABS for it. Those files are a free bonus! If you don't own the Guitar Pro software, just use the PDF Tab instead. It's the SAME notation / TAB.
