Stock, memorize, it’s easy to say,
but it seems an endless task… you might think so?
In fact unexpectedly, not so much more than you thought.
Flipping through the page Jazz standard book, and
Approximately the same chord comes out.
Stock, practice and memorize Tonic and Two-five phrases preferentially as the key it often comes!
Key it often comes (chord name)
In the case of Tonic (following is for the Key Of C)
I think they often come I know?
In the case of Two-Five
I often see them.
Two-Five that head for minor tonic,
I guess they are.
The trick is…
But of course another two-five comes,
I think it’s efficient to use and memorize one or two phrases when it comes.
If you try to do everything perfectly, you can not move forward smoothly.
It just seems somehow life, you know.
I think to end happily, and also firmly protect the rule, both are important.

To practice transpossing the same phrase to 12 keys is of course a very good practice,
but suppose you cannot practice of songs until the practice is over,
it makes no sense.
If you lost motivated of practicing improvisation and instruments,
It would be even more sad.
Let us have the small accomplishment feeling while having fun!
