251 Phrase in the Key of C
By Leon on Mar 25, 2008 in Featured, Improvisation, Lessons, Licks and Phrases, Video Clips
In the following video, I show how to play a nice 2-5-1 phrase in the key of C. Dm7-G7-Cmaj7. The ii-V-I progression is the most popular chord progression in all of jazz. It’s critical that you learn how to play over this progression. Take you time with this lick. Rhythmically, it might be a little challenging.

Hi Leon,
Were there and requests for a PDF chart of your 251 Phrase in the key of C? I would be interested if it were made available but don’t waste your time if it’s just me inquiring.
Thanks soo much for your time and effort on this site. Of all my years trying to learn Jazz guitar, your site has been the most inspiring. Keep up the good work!
