Learning jazz language is one of the most important things we can do as jazz
musicians. Learning licks, or little musical phrases and ideas, can be a great way
to learn vocabulary andhelp you navigate chord changes.

The I-VI-ii-V-I chord progression is quite popular in jazz. Probably the most
common form where you see this progression come up is in rhythm changes
tunes.
You can also check out our 12 ii-V-I licks and 8 minor ii-V-i licks.
Practice tips:
Play through each one several times to hear how they sound.
Find one you particularly like and practice it in all 12 keys starting from the original key.
This will help you internalize the sounds and connect them with your instrument.
Once youve completed that process, take a couple more of them through all 12 keys,
and then diligently practice them for an extended period of time. Repetition is key and
practicing over longer periods of time will help them become second nature!
Learn other I-VI-ii-V-I licksfrom recordings you like, or come up with your own.
