Rythm Changes

hi everybody!

i'm ready to work on the ''rythm changes'' in all twelves keys.

what are those those definite changes...for a beginner.

i don't want fancy reharmonization or chord substitutions...

just the basic changes.

thank you in advance.

i vi ii v
bridge: circle of fifths starting on the major 3rd of the key.
add extensions.
think numbers, not chords. then you can play it in any key.
