Let's practice the popular 'ii V I' chord progression.
ii V I is the single most common chord progression used in jazz, and can be heard in standards like Autumn Leaves, Perdido, and countless others.
The ii Chord wants to move forward to the V Chord, and the V Chord wants to resolve to the I chord. Think of it as Setup > Tension > Resolution.
Below is a basic rhythm, but play around with varying it. Play the progression for several minutes straight, and then practice the below arpeggios for these chords.
