II V I - Who Has The Best Approach For Jazz Beginners? |
![]() |
Your approach to II V I progressions is probably wrong, and that is what is holding you back from really developing solo lines that make sense and sound right on a II V I.
The way you think about the chords and the flow in your solo makes a massive difference, and there are different strategies for this which all can work, I'll cover my approach but also show you a few other methods from Barry Harris, Pat Martino, and Joe Pass. Once I got my thinking on this right then my solos really started to sound a lot better.
