Now, after studying the full II V I begin the difficult study of all of the alterations.   Study the II V I alterations diligently around the Cycle of Fourths and Fifths and up and down chromatically.  This is definitely a long-term study.[/features_box_yellow]

This is where the II V I Progression study gets a lot more complicated.  We can alter the II chord, V chord and I chord.  Most of the alterations take place in the V chord.  So start your study there.  Play all of the alterations until you know each completely.  Use the II V I Progression as a vehicle for learning the alterations.  Of course, play the alterations in ALL inversions.  Play around the Cycle of Fourths, Cycle of Fifths and up and down Chromatically.  This is definitely a long-term exercise.  Keep at it!
