(PRWEB) July 22, 2014 -- In this jazz rhythm guitar lesson Jon MacLennan teaches one of the most common chord progressions used in jazz guitar, the 'two five one' progression.

Jon demonstrates how to use the fingers on your fretting hand to mute the unused strings in these jazz chord voicing’s. MacLennan performs this chord progression giving each chord voicing four beats counted as whole notes and demonstrates how you can add melody notes between the chord voicing’s to really make it sound sweet.
