In this lesson, we practice basic arpeggios over a II–V–I progression, focusing on clarity, sound, and smooth voice leading.
I play simple arpeggio shapes through the progression and demonstrate how they connect harmonically. This is a foundational exercise for jazz improvisation and works for violinists at any stage who want to build fluency on II–V–I progressions.
The free PDF I share in the comments includes a few additional variations on the same II–V–I progression, so you can explore different approaches on your own without needing to play everything through in one video.
Take it slowly, listen to the harmony, and focus on sound and time.
