Chord progression: II: Am7b5 I D7 I Gm I Gm :II On the track, you will hear extensions of these chords - as is common in jazz of course :) Scale suggestions: G minor scale - G A Bb C D Eb F (G) (Amin7b5 chords and Gmin7 chords) G harmonic minor scale - G A Bb C D Eb F# (G) (D7 chords) Basic arpeggios: Amin7b5 arpeggio = A C Eb G D7 arpeggio = D F# A C Gm7 arpeggio = G Bb D F Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (D7) by treating it as an altered chord and using the altered scale: D altered scale - D Eb F Gb Ab Bb C (D) The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the 7 notes of the D altered scale are the same as those of the Eb melodic minor scale :) Here's a minor 2-5-1 lick you can try transposing to G minor http://goo.gl/McUjFO And here's lots more free 2-5-1 jazz jam tracks http://goo.gl/GD3K8s Intro played on a Peerless jazz guitar - borrowed from the one and only Les Davidson!
