In this lesson we explore some advanced applications of upper structure triads in context of jazz standards we have covered.
Blue in Green by Miles Davis contains a lot of upper extensions and alterations in the melody which makes it a perfect tune for applying upper structure triads.
In this course we explore the use of triads for melodic creativity and improvisation. This concept was taught to Jovino by his mentor Hermeto Pascoal.
A seventh chord is a triad which has been extended to include the 7th degree of the scale. This creates a fuller sound than simple 3-note triads.
We further develop the idea of harmonising the melody using 3rd intervals, triads, and passing chord progressions based on 251s.
This lesson applies upper structure triads to the tune Tenderly and also discuss ways to add fills and runs in between the chords of this great tune.
Learning and memorising all of the upper structure triads is a daunting task! This lesson introduces the upper structure cheat sheet.
Extended chords create a richer and more complex sound than triads and 7th chords and are used to create more interesting progressions.
We create a solo piano arrangement using just triads and 7th chords. This is a beautiful tune to share with your friends and family.
In this lesson Jovino explores triads that can be used over major, minor, dominant and diminished chords.
