II-V-I Cord Progression

Sangah Noona talks about how she practiced 2-5-1 (ii-V-I) chord progression on piano for intermediate and advanced level piano friends.

The ii-V-I progression is the building block of the jazz music. About 80-90% of all Jazz and American Songbook classics are comprised mostly, if not solely, of ii-V-I progressions. Any beginning jazz player should therefore have a strong understanding of the progression itself, as well as the ability to play the progression anywhere on the keyboard or fretboard. In this lesson, we’ll explore the ii-V-I progression and its many uses and iterations.
