The idea of these exercises is to be able to find chords as close as possible positioned together or to follow a certain baseline.
We take as an example a chord progression in the key of C
|Em7|C° B°|Am7 Am6|C#° G7|Cmaj7||
I have positioned all the chord notes of the above progression below so one can see the locations at a glance. Then highlighted with a red frame the area I want to stay in.
