In this lesson, you’ll learn advanced ii–V–I jazz chord voicings that will add color and sophistication to your playing. These voicings often feature rootless chords, making it easy to incorporate colorful extensions and altered tensions for a modern jazz or R&B sound.
This lesson is inspired by masters like Robben Ford, John Scofield, and Biréli Lagrène, who frequently use these types of creative chord voicings in their playing.
You’ll learn how to:
Play unique ii–V–I voicings that stand out
Incorporate altered and extended tensions into your chords
Apply these voicings in jazz, R&B, or fusion contexts
Develop a vocabulary of chords that grab the listener’s attention
These voicings are slightly advanced, but mastering them will give you a modern, expressive sound and expand your harmonic palette. Perfect for intermediate to advanced guitarists looking to take their jazz and R&B playing to the next level.
