m7b5: 1-b3-4-b5

dom7: 1-b9-3-5 or 1-b9-3-#5 or 1-#9-3-#5

Here are three, two five, one progressions. 

Good voice leading for the most part is lazy voice leading. That means: 

1. you usually won't move the note if it's in the next chord.
2. you will move whatever voicings have to move but to the closest note in the next chord. 

With that in mind you figure this puzzle out. I'll attach the answers, but don't look until you're tried this out!

In this video I'll cover the basic of comping technique.
