CECIL,I am working on these scales,it is helpful to me.Thank you for this video that you made
pleeeeease: NO paypal !!! Why no normal card paying? Sorry Cecil, me, as an old (70) guitarplayer, to say that! I´d long for your pdf!
Wow! What a player! The dude does all that stuff and doesn't even look down at the fretboard. Amazing!
..yeah man, his knowledge of the fretboard and ear are amazing
Cecil Alexander is his name
Excellent work,my friend!
Thank you!
Excellent! Glad I found this. Great playing, man!
Way cool and helpful. I downloaded the book, getting started right away. Looking forward to more lessons. Awesome, thank you!
Glad to have stumbled upon this lesson. It's exactly what I need right now on my guitar journey. Absolutely gold. Thanks a million.
Love the tone n phrasing 💙🔥
Great stuff Cecil ! Lessons that are a perfect mix of technical and musical examples blended together, IMHO the best approach. Really glad to see that you joined and are now a part of "Jazz Lesson Videos team" ❤️ 🎶. Awesome !
Very creative and awesome! I really like the creative phrasing in these ii v's. I would have never thought about using a substitute major ii v phrase a major third apart in the following bar. That's awesome because it brings a colorful tension to the entire line. Nice! I'm getting this download. I also like that motivic phrasing development using the major second intervals from the minor pentatonic scales throughout the full ii v i. Excellent!
Nice work Ceci! (And I'm a tenor sax player).
Thanks Cecil those licks certainly sound great 👍
Lots of good information, you are a blessing from the Jazz Gods. I just purchased the PDFs for 50 II V I phrases. Like your sound and approach to improvising.
Nice presentation very clear order of levels to approach ii Vs
Fantastic 👍🎸 best to you brother
Great video, thanks for explaining why you play what you do instead of just saying "use the diminished scale," very helpful
Sick playn
Thanks for watching! Subscribe to the channel for more videos like this releasing soon!
Born to be a jazz musician. How you play is much more just knowing the theory or the neck of the guitar. Great jazzer!!
Excelente video , Cecil es uno de los mejores guitarristas de jazz en la actualidad .
I can’t believe I just happened to scroll into this knowledge. Thanks, I’ll be hanging around for more plus downloading different exercises
awesome teacher
great playing! Damn
Great work
sir, your licks are legit!
Hi Mr. Alexander excellent work and playing. I am blown away actually. Please ,please,please, (begging like James Brown lol) do some pdf packages on blues. Chords, chord substitutions, but especially licks and lines. I really like your technique and your approach. I especially like the slow blues jam video that you did with Mr. Fujita. Thanks so much. MEK
I might have to try this out some time!
So good! Super sweet vocabulary!

Excellent work, Cecil! Hip phrases with proper explanations as to how they function. I'm buying your PDF, can't wait to get started on it! Proud of you my man.

Excelente saludos 👍 👍
Just purchased! Thank you Cecil for this invaluable content! Also excited to learn recently that you collaborate and teach with my great friend Mark Zaleski!
Please do a similar “50 minor ii V i” package. I definitely would buy that as well!
Thanks! We always love hearing what topics you’d like us to cover!
Thanks professor Alexander, please do a lesson on scale arpeggio shapes please.
Kind regards
Thanks! Great to hear what topics you’re interested in!
The best way to practice it's slowly, is it?
I love your lessons, but I'm also blown away by how flowing and authentic your Jazz playing is . By authentic, I mean just that. Many players sound like they're doing an imitation of Benson, Martin, etc. You sound real.

Gives me an idea, what can be done with II V I. There must be a million phrases like this for this crucial chord sequence.
I've always heard about, on the V, using the minor scale a half step up to make an alt scale. But using the minor scale a half step down sounds wild. That'd be like b2, 2, 3, #4, 5, 6, maj7 over a V. Doesn't even have the dom7. Sounded good though. Funny to hear that it's cliche; it doesn't get advertised as much as other cliches.
Thanks so much for watching and for the insightful comment! Subscribe to the channel for more videos like this coming soon!
Yeah
Big question. How does reading sheet music without tablature enhance your perception of music? Do you find it important to be able to read music in order to learn more quickly?
You so good... When the next please ?
Subscribe as we’ll be releasing more content very soon!
hi, really enjoyed your line explanations and tidbits. Do you have any video lessons with tabs showing your effortless fretboard navigation? Also, any more lick examples using a V7b5 construct, either in arpeggiated (bebop#3) or in tritone sub form.
PS: Neat use of the 'whitfield' hickup (bebop#1)
Tabs are included in all of Cecil's PDF Packages!
Hi! Can you make a video where you explain your right hand picking technique? Thanks a lot 🙏
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Cecil, I really like your style and love listening to your playing. Will there bealso a II V I minor cadence package in the future ? Greetings from Germany, Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang! Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll be sure to get to this in the near future. Subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss out on new videos!
Alexander the Great👁🔥
Great, a little more conrete details than Jens Larsen. Thanks!
He's like a young George Benson, he plays a lot of lightning fast licks reminiscent of the early Benson days. I don't know if this guy is a prodigy or not but his skills is remarkable.

Does the PDF package include an explanation of each phrase similar to what is done in the video?
Every phrase is in all 12 keys, but only the video goes this in depth with analysis. Great to know this is something you’d like us to include in upcoming materials!
@@jazzlessonvideos Yes I second what Vaughn mentioned. Having gotten the book first & then watching this video, I feel like I got more milleage from the book AFTER watching this video. Would be great if each phrase had a video breakdown like this to understand the substitution & concepts behind what Cecil is playing!
hey how do you like that ibanez tele
Are videos of the entire II V I Licks lessons in the book available?
Yes! Links to supplemental material is in the Table of Contents on page 2!
Does this resource have audio examples?
yes it does: www.jazzlessonvideos.com/product-page/50-ii-v-i-licks
Is this lesson applicable for a alto sax player?
Yes! The tabs are included for guitar but all the sheet music is in treble clef and in all 12 keys. Any treble clef reading instrument will be able to read these phrases!
I like the lesson but will learn by ear can't read sheet music
Why stop on the one chord?
