The ii-V-I book is filled with tons of useful exercises and no fluff. There are no magic answers to make you a better player in 30 minutes, so be prepared to work. If you put some daily work in then over time it will help you navigate the fretboard while burning in the sound of ii-V-I. Most of us won't reach the level of fluency that Janek has so don't feel intimidated. IF you are new to learning about harmony then just doing the first 8 exercises in all keys in many positions on the fretboard will be useful.

From Wikipedia, “A contrafact is a musical work based on a prior work. The term comes from classical music and has only since the 1940s been applied to jazz, where it is still not standard. In classical music, contrafacts have been used as early as the parody mass and In Nomine of the 16th century. “ Because this is the internet and I am not a disciplined student there will now be a trip down the parody mass rabbit hole.

I want to say thanks for this video, I've seen it before but only now gotten it that working on these exercises starts to open up your vocabulary and make you able to connect chords in new ways without thinking so much but feeling. Get the brain out of the way. I'll be working on this one for the next year if not more. Thanks bro!

JG, I have been listening to you since the early 2000's(e.g. that Jungle Groove on your Myspace page😉💣). I enjoy and appreciate your creativity, enthusiasm, and work ethic. Your teaching is just as happening as your playing, and you continue to provide lots of great content for players of all levels. Just wanted to express some gratitude for years and years of great music; wishing you and yours all of the best!

I saw an improvised solo from you on Instagram and now I’m watching your KZfaq videos and I just bought your book Iconic Lines. You are maybe the best teacher I’ve ever learned from. Really lit a fire in me to play more. Thanks so much. ❤️

Excellent video - a very practical and overt demonstration of how simple "exercises" can easily find their way into coherent language when they are fluid; helping to create a real voice 💡 Continued Thanks for all your effort 🍀

Thank you Janek - I love that you explained the concept of learn it and then forget it at the start. Complete absorption of material/concepts/vocabulary so it becomes second nature. Repetition.

That last exercise inspired me to take that idea and applying it to some random phrases, as I was trying to do exactly that during rehearsals this Thursday... And I failed miserably haha Great content Janek, all these exercises are great!

Another great video. I love the metric modulation of that exercise, that's definitely getting added to my practice routine!

Whoa, its been a little while since i've checked in on your videos Janek (life has gotten in the way a little) but your production style has seriously stepped up! The actual content has always been great but the lighting, camera use and editing is definitely upgraded. Nice work sir! As a bassist who has recently gotten into photography and videography myself, I definitely appreciate the work you've put into this.

Great content as always Janek. I'm starting to explore the II V I cadence and for the moment I make my own simple progressions to play on top and focus on the notes that define the chords. Mixing that with standards and the information you put out will go a long way. Thank you

This is great stuff. Thank you! Can anyone point me to the app/program/whatever that Janek was using to play the backing drum tracks for these exercises?

I have been uploading some of my live footage for members at www.janeksbassstudio.com/ in the "Live Archive" section. There were some great moments on that tour for sure. Really nice to play that many shows in a row with the same band, and get inside the music.
