A new edition of my series Chords Aren’t Real is here! Autumn leaves is one of the first jazz standards most people learn on ukulele for good reason as this song is a masterclass in learning the ii V I chord progression in both major and minor.

In this lesson we'll look at constructing more complex harmony from the original chord changes and how we can use Extensions, Substitutions, Alterations, and Passing Tones to build momentum throughout the A section of the tune.
