I finished a grueling masters program last week, so I'm doing anything that doesn't involve writing a paper or reading scholarly articles. I've had this idea for a while so here it is...

Great vid! I've been confounded by the ii-V for a quite a while. But it's actually pretty simple to play as you have explained it. Thanks!

It was the Masters of Teaching at USC. It's basically a two-year program mashed into 60 weeks. Plus I was working full time, family, band etc. etc. It was pretty exhausting.

Are you left-handed or is the video bass-ackwards?

Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy.

I find that reversed guitar and bass videos are actually EASIER to learn from . My fingers merely have to mirror those of the video .

Ryan,
Love the video, but a five chord in the key of G is a D chord! You call it a C chord.

And watching the end, the note you skip while descending is 4 draw bend.
3 - Double, 3 draw, 4 blow, 4 draw bent
4 draw, skip 4 bend, 4 blow, 3 draw, 3 double.
Hate to be that guy, but that's the guy I am.

Guilty as charged Michael on both accounts.
The chord thing... that was on the fly and I'll forgive myself. But I spent the time to tab the lick out and still got it wrong.
That's why I prefer to use my ears and not tab.

Michael,
I edited the riff and pointed people toward your channel in the clip info.
In keeping with my Masters program I cite my sources properly!
Thanks again.

Yeah Michael, but the point is using 3D** as the root for the ii chord. That's the valuable part of the lesson as far as I'm concerned. The omissions on the arpeggiation are forgivable.

While you're fixing things: The title of the video on YouTube is "ii IV Turnaround," instead of "ii V".
