Hi folks,

Newbie here. I truly love this site and have been using the Blues backgrounds with my online students. I'm now diving in to Jazz and would like to know if there is a Dominant 7th exercise that allows my to repeat a single dominant 7th chord. The one that I have downloaded only plays one measure at a time (although the changes are written for two measures).

Thanks.

Hi TW,
You can probably find something you can use in this thread.

However, it is super easy to make your own exercise chart.

Or use any existing song chart, LOOP just a group of bars you want to play over and over……

Try practice mode (graduation hat).

Since iReal pro can transpose to any key instantly, it's best to not state the key in the title. Just set your preferred key as the default key on the info screen when you make the chart.

If you list the composer name on the chart as ‘Exercise’ all your practice charts will be easy to find.

Work on ii-V-I with Guides tones

I think this is a very musical way of practicing minor II V I. I call it the Benny Golson circle because It happens a lot in his compositions.
