Learn the 2-5-1 jazz chord progression as part of our series on Beginner Jazz Piano. In this lesson, we look at the Theory of the 2 5 1 progression on both the Major & Minor scale using functional harmony. We then focus on Improvisation basics along with the use of Inversions. After watching this video, stay tuned to Part 2 & Part 3 where we focus on a goto voicing technique for Piano and music players in general as well as a groovy sixteenth note Latin rhythm pattern that can embellish the chord progression.
