In this episode we use the guitar to study, in all keys, an "Exercise for Turnaround No. 3 (Melodic Connecting)" as found in Jamey Aebersold's "Cycles & Turnarounds" text https://www.jazzbooks.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_code=V16DS 

This episode focuses on hearing the harmony for the "Turnaround" chord progression:

C - Eb7 - Ab - Db7 transposed to all 12 Keys!

Exercise 1:  Arpeggiate the Chords

• Root - Major 3rd - P5 - Octave
• Now you sing the arpeggios while I play the chords

Exercise 2:  Arpeggiate the b7 on the Dominant Chords

• Root - Major 3rd - P5 - b7 (where applicable)
• Now you sing the arpeggios while I play the chords

Exercise 3:  Melodic Connecting Exercise Example 1 in Aebersold's Book

• 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 of the 1st 3 chords; 8've - 5 - 3 - 1 Down the Neapolitan II Chord 
• Now you sing the exercise while I play the chords

We explore this exercise in all 12 keys traveling counterclockwise around the circle of 5ths:

C Major --> F Major --> Bb Major --> Eb Major --> Ab Major --> Db Major -->
