This jazz piano tutorial focuses on a common issue faced by beginner and intermediate players: when to use chord inversions instead of the 6th diminished scale. I explain why chord inversions are more appropriate in certain musical situations and offer tips for incorporating them into your playing.

The tutorial also covers the topic of consecutive II7 to V7 progressions, which are a staple of jazz harmony. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to tackle these progressions and highlights key elements to consider, such as voice leading and effective chord voicing.
