What book do you mean?
Here's a little exercise I put together for one of my students struggling with finding applications for the melodic minor scale, its simply the scale tone chords 4 bars each to solo over using the scale, aim of the excercise being to familiarize yourself with the 'modes' of the scale and to more easily spot chords in a progression where it might be used. hope someone finds it useful. If anyone has any requests for similar exercises message me.

These first 18 progressions should get people comfortable playing over all major key modulations in all 12 major keys, both in a II-V-I format and a faster V-I format for each modulation-type.

4 V7's exercise practice
I think it's good to concentrate on just 4 at a time , then modulate.
I'm digressing on the II-V7 phrases and revisiting my basics for memorization of phrases. I look forward to sharing practice tips and concepts in this life long journey.
II-V7alt-I^7 Half Bar by Curtsong
Wow this is a gold mine everyone thanks
Minor ii7b5, V7alt
Minor ii7b5, V7
Here are two I just made to practice only the ii-V on minor using 7alt or regular 7.
Main Chords And Scales- One key
Here is a badass run through all chords off one note at a time. I even included the typical scales you can use over each chord to be helpful
Helps you do scale runs and patterns while
Altering the right notes. Change keys to get the problematic keys up to speed.
Enjoy making music!!!

I did three all in C. Just transpose for whatever key you want.
Two have the Greek names and one has Roman numerals .
One I found by Ade Stevenson is not diatonic but goes through related keys with the same root.
