I now have the Basic Jazz & Blues Complete Instructor. I expect I am the first to borrow it in a long time.
This be the verse:
“Major type chords constructed on the FIRST DEGREE of the MAJOR SCALE are also I TYPE CHORDS: Imaj7, Imaj6, Imaj9, Imaj6/9. These forms are interchangeable."
“Major type chords constructed on the FIFTH DEGREE of the MAJOR or MINOR SCALE are V TYPE CHORDS: V7, V9, V11, V7-5, V7+5, V7+9, V7-9, V9+11, V13-9. These chords are interchangeable. These are dominant chords which demand resolution.”
“Minor chords built on the SECOND DEGREE of the scale are II TYPE CHORDS: IIm, IIm7, IIm9, IIm11, IIm7-5. In jazz, the II TYPE CHORD functions as an alternative for the IV Chord.”
It contains more chords than you could shake a stick at, and progressions aplenty, as well as cycles.
Part 3, The Blues, is extensive.
