Target notes are one of the best ways to approach soloing over changing harmony and to have melody lines that flow naturally from one chord to the next. In this lesson I am going to go over how you can use target notes when you are improvising over a II V I in the key of C major.

I will demonstrate how you construct lines or licks with target notes and how you choose target notes for jazz chords in this typical chord progression
