Approaching the ii Chord in a Progression
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2026 11:47 am
Odd question, but say you have a progression like a I-V-ii-IV. What do you like to play over the ii? Every time I hit the ii chord, I play usually play the arpeggio or slide into it with a sixth double stop, but I’m wondering how other people approach it? Sorry if this is too general a question. The reason I ask is I have licks I like that are pretty automatic for I, IV, V and vi, but don’t have much in my bag for ii (or iii for that matter).
