How to Connect ii–V–I to Wes & Django Lines (Diagonal Method)

Knowing both the Wes Line and the Django Line isn't enough — players freeze because they don't know when to switch. The rule: non-tonic stays one line, tonic resolves to the other. Most players “know” ii–V–I… but still freeze on the fretboard. In this episode, I show a practical bridge: ii–V–I → upper-structure triad → diagonal lines (Wes Line / Django Line), so you can stop guessing and start moving with purpose.
