LJS 128: 3 Hip 2-5-1 Licks for You to Practice

Welcome to episode 128 of the LJS Podcast where today we are exploring 3 hip 2-5-1 licks. Learning licks is always a good practice for learning jazz language, and 2-5-1 chord progressions are arguably the most common in jazz harmony. This is a great episode to help you take action and practice. Listen in!

My entire goal for today's episode is to give you one task to go out and practice. So I keep it short and to the point.
I go over 3 hip 2-5-1 licks that you can work on and take through all 12 keys.
It's always a great idea to take small micro pieces of jazz language (licks) and work them in different keys. As a result, you will have internalized that lick, and improved your flexibility with it.
Here's each lick I go over in this episode:
Lick #1

Lick #2

Lick #3

I hope you take me up on my challenge and take one of these through all 12 keys. Let me know how it goes in the comments below!
