IIm7-V7-Is
This is similar to the previous exercise, except that instead of resolving to the root of a I major 7, it goes to the root of another IIm7 chord. This takes you round a cycle of fifths. Note that each IIm7-V7 pair is a whole tone lower than the previous one. The exercise is then repeated up a semitone so that the the notes that were the roots of the IIm7s are now the roots of the V7s, and vice versa.
