Learn a four-measure jazz harmonic phrase from Blues For Alice and practice playing its root movements and arpeggios in all keys.
This lesson demonstrates a recurring four-measure harmonic move that takes you from the I to the IV using consecutive II–V progressions, showing root motion, chord reinterpretation, and voice-leading. Step-by-step guidance covers playing roots, arpeggios, and chord tones (3rds, 5ths, 7ths), plus tips on interpreting minor7 vs. m7b5 and treating the IV as a temporary tonic. Includes downloadable PDF, tonal mapping for the app, and two practice backing tracks (with and without piano) in all keys for concert, B♭, and E♭ instruments.
