I think you’ll agree that the most important chords to study when learning jazz guitar are the major and minor ii V I.
These three chords are found in all keys, in different variations, and in almost every jazz standard.
While these progressions are the most popular in jazz, they often give beginner and intermediate players trouble in their solos.
Do these musical situations sound familiar to you?
You can run scales and arpeggios over ii V I chords, but you don’t sound like music, you sound like technical exercises?
You have trouble recognizing and reacting to ii V I’s in a chord chart when jamming or practicing jazz standards.
You have one or two go-to licks that you always use over ii V Is, and even then you don’t feel fully confident with those phrases.
You hear great players, and your peers, nailing awesome lines over ii V I’s but have no idea how they built those cool lines.
If any of these sound familiar, or you’re ready to level up your jazz guitar vocabulary, then this eBook is for you.
Whether you’re just starting your jazz journey, or are an experienced player stuck in a rut, this eBook is for you.
Not only do you learn vocabulary that directly outlines ii V I variations, you apply everything you learn in this eBook to jazz standards.
This is where the real growth happens, applying vocabulary directly to jazz tunes so you can solo with confidence at your next jam session or gig.
This material starts from day 1, and before you know it, you’re running Vmaj7 subs and playing cool-sounding jazz lines in your solos.
All of a sudden all of the scales and arpeggios you know come to life and sound like jazz, not like technical exercises in your solos.
Most importantly, these exercises are exciting and engaging, making learning jazz vocabulary fun in the woodshed.
Everything you need to solo over any ii V I, in any key, any length, and any tempo with authentic jazz vocabulary is in this eBook.

I have read many books about how to play jazz guitar. Most of them were good textbooks, except that the authors described how they played the guitar, but did not teach that how others should play. When I discovered Matt’s website and his books, a lot of things suddenly opened up to me in a completely different light. His books and articles are clear, concrete and useful. They are easy to learn, they successfully combine theory and practice. I wish all subscribers good luck in their jazz life, wellbeing and health, and Matt – even more grateful students.
while all of the information that you give us free and paid for are great, would love to see some lessons on Howard Roberts playing and information about him.
Thanks Tom Jones
Just purchased your Essential 2-5-1 Vocab e-book, and let me congratulate you on an excellent piece of work! Speaking personally, it is just the very thing that could really make a difference! Thanks so much Matt
Matt, awesome book ! In five minutes after reading the sample, PDF i ordered it !
Though i basically know of the topics covered (well, it doesn’t hurt to go back to basics) it is a life saver for TEACHING.
There is a way you have to explain things that make me think that you are a great teacher.
So it is recommended for teachers too. Teaching jazz is a steeper slope than teaching blues, pop, rock , etc …
Knowing and put in practice concepts is a thing, knowing how to explain them well is another.
I always keep on going back to mattwarnockguitar ! Free lessons are awesome too !
Thanks a lot !
Cheers from Okinawa
Got my copy. Too bad there isn’t a Nobel Prize for musical education…
Awesome book, your best yet! I’ve always been weak on patterns. Just the resource I need to to turn that around.
