Here’s Martino’s “Symmetrical Parental Forms”. 1) Fret your GBD strings at frets 554. That’s notes C-E-G# and it’s 3 different Augmented triads, named for any one of those 3 notes. It’s 1-3-#5. 2) LOWER any one of those notes, you get 3 different MAJOR triads (1-3-5). 3) RAISE any one of those 3 notes, you get 3 different MINOR triads (1-b3-5). So that easy-to-grab Augmented Symmetrical Parental Form has 6 “children”, 3 Major triads and 3 Minor triads. - Now the other “parent”, the 4-note Diminished 7th chord (1-b3-b5-bb7). Fret 4-5-4-5 on the DGBE strings. That is 4 different Diminished 7th chords named for notes: F#-C-Eb-A. 1) LOWER any one note and you get a Dominant 7th chord (1-3-5-b7). 2) RAISE any one note and you get a Half-Diminished 7th chord (aka) a Minor 7b5 chord. So that other easy-to-grab chord form, 4 notes this time, yields 8 other chords: 4 Dominant 7th chords and 4 Minor 7b5 chords. That is Martino’s lesson. 2 chords are “automatic” on the guitar, and you use them to show you other chords. That’s it.

Pat was a true genius of invention on guitar you have self trained, theory taught, inventive genius on guitar. Pat was the latter, leaving home at a young age, dropped out of high school, seeking a career in jazz and education, found it all along the way. Didn't have a traditional music education, followed his love for music. I don't believe that path is possible today as things have been forced to change in our society. Pat was a gift to the guitar world as was Wes and so many other brilliant players. To often today we see the children of wealthy families graduating from music programs that are paid for full sail degrees but so many lack soul and are comicly mechanical and lack substance. Pat was a true genius that comes along rarely as did Jaco, Wes and so many black Hammond B3 organists. McDuff, Holmes, McGriff, Rhyne, Smith, Earland and other great black key players and of course Art Tatum, one of the true piano geniuses in America. Drummers, horn players, too many to list. Most died with little money and society tends to forget you when you check out of here. Pat was unique. I met Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel, Jack Wilkins, Joe DiOrio, Les Paul, Larry Carlton, Joe Pass and others. They all had a gift, were very real people, most didn't have attitudes, aloof mindsets or other mental personality woes but we're just guys who loved music and interaction with others to create it, allowing their voice and others to be heard. Today, when players are trying to cram 1,000 notes in a measure, listen to Luis Armstrong who could say more with three notes than most players with ten. He played from the heart, so lacking in so many players and artificial celebs today. Thank you Pat for decades of instruction on the true potential of guitar!

Pat Martino sees 2 chords as “Symmetrical Parental Forms”. 1) Play C+ by fretting 554 on GBE. Move any note DOWN one fret and you’ll parent 3 major triads. Raise any note UP one fret and you’ll parent 3 relative minor triads. - So that’s 6 other triads from each Augmented parent. 2) Play a Diminished 7th chord by fretting 4545 on DGBE. Move any note DOWN one fret and parent 4 Dominant 7th chords. Move any note UP one fret and parent 4 Half-Diminished 7th chords (mi7b5). - So that’s 8 other 7th chords from each Diminished 7th chord. - Martino was a genius. I’ll be spending the rest of my days on his observations.

the "thing" Pat managed to do was to create a way of unlocking the guitar's fret board to all styles of music ( particularly Jazz ). Advanced applications of music theory applied directly and uniquely to guitar. But! I would recommend you have a solid music (jazz) theory understanding before trying to apply his techniques to guitar. It's that involved and advanced. You must have a solid understanding of every single note on the fret board.

Thanks to Pat Martino for unifying and sharing the real key to the guitar fingerboard. You could spend a lifetime on the guitar and never guess this stuff exists. Along with the cycle, the great composers knew this information and used it. (You'll never have to hunt for triads and inversions again.) If you can find one, read Chord Connection by Dave Eastlee. It explains Diminished Principles and the first instance of CAGED grips used in changes. It does not explain the Augmented "morphing". I'm having lot's of fun with his alphabet composing. It's very surprising.
