In this guitar lesson, Jon MacLennan will teach you some cool chord voicings for a II V I progression in the style of Howard Roberts.
Howard was born in Phoenix, Arizona, United State and he was a great jazz guitarist and session musician.
So, what is a II V I progression? This is the most common jazz chord progression and it refers to the degrees of a diatonic scale. As you may know a diatonic scale has 7 degrees or notes so we will be using the 2nd, the 5th and the root or 1st degree. In the C major tonality the chords would be Dm7, G7 and Cmaj7.
Ok, hope this helps and as I already said, coming up with your own ideas is the best advice for starting to find `your´ unique sound and style.
That is all for today... Also I suggest that you keep enjoying and learning from Jon MacLennan and all the staff of Guitarcontrol.com! Where? In our free lessons at
