How to express your emotions with Triad Pairs (Warning: serious content)

How to express your emotions with triad pairs? The Triad Pair System is an emmensely powerful improvisational tool. In this video Jazzduets demonstrates the following Triad Pair combinations:
1:38 A minor and G Major Triads Superimposed over A minor
2:30 A minor and G Minor Triads Superimposed over G minor
4:00 A major and G# Minor Triads Superimposed over F# minor
6:50 E minor and F# diminished Triads over E minor
9:15 Ab Major and Gb Major Triads Superimposed over Eb minor
11:00 Ab major and Gb Major Triads Superimposed over Db minor
12:45 C minor and D Major Triads Superimposed over C minor
16:00 Bb minor and CbMajor Triads Superimposed over Bb minor

Your soprano tone is incredible. Honestly one of the best I've heard on the instrument.

[@JazzDuets]

cheers! I appreciate these words very much

[@patemblen3644]

I thought the same 👍

[@egilsandnes9637]

I feel like this is what Jan Garbarek playing with Pink Floyd would sound like.

[@MrRuneberre]

You have such a beautiful tone! ❤️ Simply breathtaking! 😀

[@JazzDuets]

thanks! I am working on it daily you know...

[@yzimsx]

For chord instruments such as keyboards and guitar, this can be turned upside-down: first play a phrase with triad pairs into a looper without backing chords, and then improvise chord progressions "under" it. IMO this is an excellent thing to practice, and something I've always loved doing, improvising different chords to known melody notes. Depending on the phrase you played, lots of surprising backing harmonies are possible. For example the A minor + G major triads leave the F or F# question completely open, so you can make it Dorian. Or if your phrase rests on an A note, you can play a Bb major chord under it, or F# minor. Or if you play a fixed F bass under the phrase, it creates an F Lydian feeling all of a sudden.

[@jazzguitarjunk9578]

Can’t wait to try this idea out!

[@yzimsx]

@@jazzguitarjunk9578 Please post a video, how it's going! :) I don't think I've seen other people do that kind of improvisation, usually it's always "improvise melody over given chord progression". But that's so meh - you should improvise chord progressions under a given melody! :) Actually, learning to improvise chord progressions is important for lead soloing as well, because a good jazz solo should (IMO) superimpose the improviser's own imagined, different, chord progression, over whatever is playing in the background. Doing that requires that you're able to improvise chords.

Listening to Branford Marsalis during his long association with Sting, I hear extensive use of this concept in his soprano playing.

[@craymano]

I appreciate that you create emotional association with your triad pairs. Great ideas and examples

[@eliotmiranda]

I can hear now that Branford Marsalis was using the triad pair system a lot on Sting’s Dream of the Blue Turtles.

[@eltinosilva]

I remembered that album too!

[@liamnewsom8583]

Thanks Nick, i notice you put alot of effort and detail into what you do and I appreciate it. Inspires me to put my heart/soul effort and best into my art aswell 👍

thanks

[@davidsummerville351]

Just so happens I've been working on triad pairs quite a lot lately. I've been putting quartel triads in as well. Love your info as always Thanks

[@MotorGoblin]

Great video; thanks! I think it's cool how you mix up the patterns at times (e.g., 2+3+3+2+3 instead of the expected 2+3+2+3).

[@2dannyp]

Thank you! This is a very enlightening approach. I will put some serious thought into this concept.

[@williamduartemusic]

Hey Nick, quick heads up, the Abm / Gb timestamp is incorrect! Amazing video

[@dieterdebusschere8926]

Many thanks for this moment of beauty Nick. First I tried to relate these pairs to a certain mode, but they don't seem to fit. Very interesting to explore this musical idea further!

[@oOBobiboOo]

G and D triads over Am chord is Dorian. ( I practice in Am at the moment, i don't think it's from this tonality in the video ). I'm still amateurish but i'm pretty sure most of the pair can fit in a mode.

[@LoganSusnick]

When two triads go to war, emotion's all that you can score 😉

[@mileswhite4329]

Why does your method teach only minor triad pairs. is there a separate study for major triad pairs. Please explain.

[@2dannyp]

I really admire your intonation and technic.

existential triad pairs! that is music to celebrate the oneness of music and life emotion and truth. what is not to love about that :)

I love blending two power chords... now I need to play with triad pairs 😁

Great editing visuals sound and talent!

[@TheAtheistworld]

Brother, what effects u have used for your soloing here?? What’s that spacious reverb etc? Thnx mate❤

[@JazzDuets]

thanks. I use about 4 reverbs and 3 delays and mix them together.

Beautiful tone ! May I ask what mouthpiece and tip opening you use ? Thanks

thanks! here: jazzduets.com/pages/faq

[@edovonvelde3194]

What a soundscape😍 👍

[@gotofourths933]

Great lesson , thank you! Made a formula on the bases of the lesson. X= Background chord , M2M = first M and 2 shows interval is major second between bg chord tonic and triad tonic. Second M shows the triad is major. -M2M = first M and 2 shows interval is major second between bg chord tonic and triad tonic, but opposite direction. Second M shows again the triad is major. xm(xm,-M2M) if x= A , Over Am first triad is Am, second triad is G xm(M2m,xm) if x= B, over Bm first triad is C#m, second triad is Bm xm(m3M,M2m) if x= F , over F minor, first triad is Ab, second triad is Gm xm(-M2m,xdim) etc... xm(P4M,m3M) xm(P5m,P4M) xm(xm,M2M) xm(xm,m2M)

[@bryanwchambers9734]

I believe the Cmin + Dmaj triads over Cmin is derived from the fourth mode of the Harmonic Major scale. (The Lydian b3/Melodic minor #4) A very hip sound.

so happy you have unveiled this saucy little secret! This is all exciting news to me 😁

[@robertzullo8707]

Great lesson! Such interesting and musical phrases. I enjoyed trying to get some under my fingers on guitar. I basically started (like a lot of guitar players) with the typical minor and major pentatonic scales. This is so much more musical and with the right fingerings with hammer ons and pull offs, really opens up my playing to new sounds. Thanks Nick

variety my dear chap is the spice of life

[@oriomenoni7651]

So basically you play with 6-notes scales ?

yes but dont lock yourself into that mentality with it being a scale per se!

Fantastic stuff ! I especially love the dorian sound of Ab and Gb over Eb minor. Some of the chords you wrote in the description are wrong, I thought you'd want to correct that. thanks for your work !

On some of the chords I added a few colours in the drone to emphasise the , but the underlying concept works on the triad and I did not want to over complicate

@@JazzDuets I mean 6:50 for example, the description says F# minor when it's actually E minor in the video. Also at 11:00, the description says Ab minor instead of Ab major. Not a big deal of course, but still ! Cheers

Remember the tensions. For example A minor drone G Major triad "G" minor 7th, "B" 9th, "D" 11th So G major triad over A minor Outlines an A minor 11

Pick two chords and alternate between them. Practice the combinations given in the description, and you'll gradually develop a taste and start to remember what kind of a feeling each combination creates. May I ask, what is it that you didn't understand about the concept? I teach music as a hobby, and quite often it's really difficult to understand what the "students" are thinking and what the mental block might be.
