Jazz theory is a hairy monster for many folks, which is why I am creating tutorials to explain some of the most important concepts. It’s not hard - it’s just a little bit different.

In this tutorial, I follow up on my recent tutorial on the 2-5-1 progression. Today, I am going to teach you all about the 2-5-1 in minor - where it comes from, what to do with it, how to practice it and how to identify it in songs. Once again, this is fun and super easy!!
