If we build triads off of each scale degree in the major scale, we get these chords:
I (Maj7)

ii (m7)

iii (m7)
%
IV (Maj7)

V7

vi (m7)

vii (m7b5)%
I (Maj7)%

In Jazz, the ii V7 I progression is very common. It strongly establishes the key.

Here are the first 8 bars of Autumn Leaves. Notice how every chord, with the exception of the B7 isderived from the G Major scale. (The last three chords are more accurately labeled a ii V i in E minor.)

Improvising on a ii V I
Autumn Leaves starts with a "ii V I": Am7 D7 GMaj7
You can use at least 3 basic approaches to improvising on this progression:
1) Use one scale for the entire progression. The I is GMaj, so G major scale is what we want.
m
#
#
#
#
D
#
#
#
#
3
GMaj
# #
#
#
#
#
#
#
5
2) Use a different mode for each chord.
m (ii chord: A Dorian)
# # #
#
D
#
#
#
#
(V chord: D Mixolydian)
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
7
GMaj
#
(I chord: G Major)
#
#
#
#
#
#
#

3) Use arpeggios.

Modes
Here's the C Major scale:

The Dorian mode is based off of the 2nd scale degree of a major scale. So, D Dorian is a C Major scale but starting on the

Here's the G Major scale:
# # # # # # # #

So, A Dorian a G Major scale played from A to A (scale degree 2 to 2):

B Phrygian (scale degree 3 to 3):
# # # # #
#
#
#
11
C Lydian (scale degree 4 to 4)
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
13
D Mixolydian (scale degree 5 to 5)
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
15
E Aeolian [Minor] (scale degree 6 to 6)
#
#
#
#
#

17
F# Locrian (scale degree 7 to 7)
