Re: Chord progressions

Start by just playing basic arpeggios and chord scales. Try to get to know all the chords in the key from the root note.

Then try to practice common patters, like I V I, ii V I, I IV V I until they feel comfortable. All from memory and in root position at first.

After you can do this, you'll start to hear better and be thinking about the chord notes, then you can try some inversions.

Really just start playing and thinking about the chords and chord scales and it will be a huge help.

I would highly recommend taking some lessons with a jazz player. This helped me tremendously.
