Triad Applications for Melodic Comping and Solo Jazz Guitar
Shot on location at Tim Lerch’s West Coast studio, Melodic Triads is an examination of triads and effective ways to use them as a fluid harmonic approach for melodic jazz comping and solo jazz guitar.
”Triads are the foundation of western harmony. We often think that in order to sound “jazzy” or “hip” we need to play complicated, four or five note chords, but every one of those larger voicings have triads living inside of them that contain the most essential notes. To develop freedom on the guitar, it's profoundly important to have a good working knowledge of triads.
I’ve designed this course to help you develop a fluid harmonic approach to melodic comping and solo guitar. We’ll look at triad construction, triad scales, diatonic cycles and common progressions and we’ll keep it simple using just a few triad shapes on one string set. You’ll play your way through the course right along with me - just like we’re working on a lesson together in person!”
Melodic Triads is organized into six progressive lesson sets. Each set begins with a simple melodic triad workout and then you’ll put those skills to use in a solo etude which will help prepare you to create your own melodic chord solos.
”In our first set, we will take a close look at how to build triads, their inversions, and triad scales. The etude shows us how to play melodies up above the triads to create a flowing sequence of chords and melody.
Set two looks at voice leading the common progressions IV V I and ii V I and the various pluralities that exist in the world of triads. In set three, we explore the Diatonic Cycle of 4ths, voice leading, and the “melodic neighborhoods” throughout the key.
Set four explores the very common iii VI ii V progression adding just a bit of chromatic flavor to the key. In set 5 we’ll work on a fun tune that puts it all together in a 32 bar form. We’ll get more chromatic movement and learn what it sounds like to swing these triads.
And in the final set, we explore the chromatic nature of the music and the flexibility of these triads at a medium swing tempo as we play a tribute to the great George Van Eps.”
Tim will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
