This is a great fingering exercise as well.

Actually, an easier approach to playing
i7 ii7 and III7
might be to use parallel thirds.
Start with a minor (triad -- not 7th, yet)
right hand :
C - middle
A - thumb
then :
D - ring
B - pointer
then:
E - pinky
C - middle
__
Actually play that with left hand:
C - middle
A - pinky
then :
D - pointer
B - ring
then:
E - thumb
C - middle
___
then with right, play another set of (stacked, atop) thirds :
G - middle
E - thumb
then :
A - ring
F# - pointer
then:
B - pinky
G - middle
Play those seperately, then combine together, simultaneously
or arpeggiate -- which means: play each individual note one-at-a-time ("roll" the chords).
