Justin... I love your lessons, in particular the Jazz series -- my new passion. I've been anxiously waiting for these latest series about Functioning and Static Extensions, Altered Harmony, Chords Grips, etc...  the lights (my lights!) finally came on. I've always wanted to understand these b5 #5 b9, #9 extensions/additions and for the life of me I couldn't find anything as well explained as you have. BRAVO! and thanks a million.

Now I have to start exploring on my own all the grips you just went through that opens a whole lot of new possibilites for me. Looking forward to JA-028 & JA-029.

Congratulations also on finishing your new CD!

Hi Justin, awesome lesson.

A 8:10, you start putting all together and it's really cool. Although i understant it's a bit asking chewing food for me, would you (or someone) put a chord sequence diagram with the lesson ? Replaying again and again moves give a bit of headpain.

Best

Great Lesson, this is just what I'm trying to work out with my teacher.

I love the sound you have on this lesson, could you please post your set-up ? I recognize the Fender Telecaster, but what about any effect/amps etc. ?

Thanks.

What would be really fantastic is a follow-up to the ii-V-I lesson on improvisation: What arpeggios and scales (e.g. melodic minor, major) or modes can be played consonantly with your excellent, easy-to-follow examples? I was a blues guitarist with classical training who's come back to the axe after a 34-year dry-spell. Trying to learn jazz this time. Your approach is brilliant. But I would like to know how methodically and melodically to fit all those scales smoothly into that ii-V-I thing. Cheers from Jeff in Biarritz.

PS: I realize I should have posted this message under "recommendations for lessions" instead. Mea culpa. I am a new-comer. JS

ty for another great lesson.........you mentioned that you would "some chord boxes up of the common movements that I show you here very soon"..............would be most welcome/helpfull. Keep up the gr8 work (hope your album becomes #1 in UK........may not be too well know here "downunder").

Hi Justin, thanx for the lesson
but I have a question about minor II V I progression
we know that major II V I is IIm7 V7 IMaj7
but why is it minor can sometimes be IIm7b5 V7 Im7
and sometimes IIm7 V7 Im7 ??

[justinguitar]

@dreameral - I should move that - it's on the to do - but making the chord boxes takes ages that's why I keep avoiding them...

@milky1031 - see the lesson on demystify the minor scale (scales area)
