How I Practice Chords: A Practical Guide for Jazz Musicians

Hello my youtube friends. Here in this video I layout a practical guide on how to practice chords. I present some new chords I have been working on and how I go about learning them in all 12 keys.

Just like anything else you want to be successful at, you will need a plan. I layout a basic practice template that I use and have found success in. Check the timestamps for a specific sections. And dont forget to comment if you want me to answer any questions!
