Dear Jack, this is the best intro to 2 5 1 I have ever seen. You find the appropriate speed for your lesson, no unnecessary talking and a very calm and sympathetic voice. Thank you very much! Warm regards from Germany, Klaus

Your tone is immensely satisfying and the picking dynamics are greatly appreciated

ii V I...ii V I. I must have heard about this ii V I a million times but this lesson nailed it. How could just playing the chord tones with a flat 9 added make the whole sequence sound so beautiful? Thank you Jack for a great lesson. I completely dig it.

Hello Jack ! Thank you so much for this lesson. I have waited 49 years for someone to explain how and where to use the 2-5-1 progression.

Been playing for 20 years. As someone who studies voice leading, playing outside, and the highest forms of blue playing - this is an excellent video

Hi Jack, glad i found your YouTube Channel. I really enjoyed the classes you did for Sonora. Really incredible stuff. You've changed the way I approach my entire practice. I'll be subscribing to your Patreon and hopefully the Sonora folks can rope you back in for more blues materclasses!
