I love how modern it sounds

[@jrguitarco]

I started studing jazz back in the 80's and never discovered this concept until now.

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

I would LOVE more triad pair vids. You are an expert at this.

[@DaMonster]

Your work on this is so evident - you’ve taken the time to play something that sounds BEAUTIFUL not just theoretically interesting or “correct” and that excites viewers to learn. I know I’ll be spending some time on triad pairs now!

[@JazzDuets]

thanks, appreciate your words, It took a while ( 30 years) to put together

[@JazzDuets]

What other standards would you like to see the Triad Pairs system on? I would appreciate your ideas!

Great vid dude... you really help a lot of people with these vids

[@jazzroom]

thanks for laying it out for all of us very clearly - great work! I wish I knew this stuff when I was starting out in the 80s trying to decode Trane and McCoy - it all finally makes sense after so many years. keep up good work! Peace & Jazz

[@manuelmilano9901]

This is so beautiful and useful, I'd definetly like to watch more videos about this specific content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@FrancisFurtak]

Brilliant and your playing is so eloquent! Thanks so much for breaking it all down and playing slowly which really helps me understand. I'm a guitarist and playing this kind of stuff requires a lot of cross picking across the strings, which for me is difficult. Please keep it coming. Thanks so much!

[@saxyrep1]

This video was the missing link I needed. I always thought triad pairs sound fantastic but couldn't see anyway they'd work on a jazz standard. I'm really thankful.

[@LennyPrice]

Masterful as usual, Nick! I love how you connect the music theory with the SOUND! 🎷

[@rossturner7889]

Absolutely love this concept, thanks so much.

[@ninaottmusic]

This is great. Been wanting to get back into the triad pairs and Playing them on organ. There are so many I got a little overwhelmed doing exercises. But I like this approach - put them in a tune. I got stuck in trying to hear them in a standards context and wrote out a few lines and that combine elements. It helped But this is better. Thanks very much!

[@m.vonhollen6673]

Excellent lesson! Very well done!

[@pedrocortejosa]

Thank you again. Buenísimos recursos para trabajar la improvisación, muy ordenado y claramente explicado, excelente para el músico y el docente.

Thank you man! Really showed me the way to understand how to use these triads without sounding like a chump

Killer! couldn't wait to get home, grabbed pen and paper jotted down the changes and pairs, had the tune in BiaB already so let the kaleidoscope of colour begin. Thanks Nick as always, i also love this way as it takes the boring out of scales and accentuates the dormant beauty that lies within waiting to be released on the unsuspecting ear ;)

[@JazzDuets]

I love these words ´dormant beauty´ however not a fan of BiB. I prefer to make my own tracks

[@musterionsurly]

@@JazzDuets yes i must stop sacrificing exactitude for expedience ;) i did use realtracks though haha

[@tttzzz1957]

Yes we want!

[@stoogorman]

you're the man Nick, thank you. Any gigs in the UK coming up ?

[@JazzDuets]

thanks Stuart. I have not been back to the Uk for 3 years now.

[@MihaiSorohan]

Great video. Could you go over "Footprints" with this concept?

[@TheALFRED1966]

Bellissimo!

[@mileswhite4329]

Love this system. Would you mind running Autumn Leaves through. I will be ordering the book.

[@elisasaposnik8222]

Muchas gracias por el video, estuvo genial. Podrìan ser alguno de ellos?: "Garota de Ipanema", es bossa, Jazz latino de Jobim. "Spain", jazz fusiòn, de Corea o “Georgia on My Mind” de Hoagy Carmichael

[@djonakachopper]

Great stuff. Do you think about the contour of the melody at all, the tension/release of the plain piece etc?

[@pauloluisdemoraespereirape9484]

Sensacional!!!

[@goldstarblackbelt5406]

It’s like one triad is the in-breath and the other is the out-breath. Or left and right. Or question and answer. Or call and response.

[@christianbozza8525]

Thanks for speaking so clear… it’s so important for a no mother tongue… you are the best

[@JazzDuets]

sorry, I do not understand. I was taught the queens English in the Uk when I was a lad

[@christianbozza8525]

@@JazzDuets I’m italian, sometimes there are some interesting videos on KZbin but it’s not possible to understand because of their strong accents. your accent is so clear and you speak slowly, I really appreciate it. thanks for all.

Great Stuff. What product of yours would you recommend for me to purchase to help me develop my Triad Pair concepts? I've been working hard on my Triad Pairs in 12 keys Majors, Minors, Dim and Aug. Thanks

[@DJsilversax]

Thanks for another great video. You have a beautiful sound on soprano, what mouthpiece, lig and reed do you use?

[@JazzDuets]

selmer d rubber, vandoren trad 3, and yanigisawa

Quick questions: at 2:35 it is said that Eb is the 6/13th of Gmin7b5. Wouldn't that be the #5/b6 or is there something I'm misunderstanding? Sorry if I am. By the way, I just bought the Approach Note Bundle and I started working on it. Can't wait to go through all the exercices before starting to work on triad pairs. Thank you!!

@Joel no, because a scale that has a Gmin7b5 when harmonized does not have a D in it, but a Db.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

You are correct. Eb is b6/b13 in the key of G. If you called Eb, D#, only then would it (technically) be #5.

[@jsazparren]

Nick, como siempre superandote, excelentes recirsos y sonidos para disparar nuestra creatividad, gracias!!! Realmente hechas luz a esta loca parte de vida de este loco mundo, gran abrazo!!! 😊👍👍👍

[@SecretSauce8]

Hi, I'm looking at your Thesaurus of Minor Triad Pairs. do you go over Major triad pairs in that course? If not, is there another course you offer that uses major triad pairs?

[@MarkInLA]

I believe the key signature should be C, not Bb since it clearly resolves to/ends in C Maj, the first 2 bars setting up the subdominant minor, FMin. then the D-7b5 to G7, the II V of I, C.. (leave alone your alto is an Eb instrument where it'd be written for you in Eb to SOUND in C ). This is in no way a value judgement on your very nice playing...

[@hectorherrerao5857]

Hi Nick. Great work. I Have a question. What triad go first? Does it matter? Example. Over a Dm, I put Dm and Em (a dorian sound) or start with Em and Dm. Thanks

[@JazzDuets]

the quick reply is no. However, starting on E minor is a different sound

[@alejandropenna3094]

esta data es tremenda ,

[@patrickpentulip3951]

All of me, all the things you are, body and soul 🙂

[@FabriceDECROPLONGET]

@14'20 : title seems not right : "Gb augmented and F minor over Ab7" instead of "Gb augmented and G minor over Ab7" Over this beautiful Ab7, what do you think of this another pair triad : Bmin/F# - Fmin To highlight this B instead of Bb (#9 of Ab7) wich is also the leading tone in the tone of Cminor, wich is the context of this 2 bars.

[@bankovicalexandre7221]

Hi what about us "only bass clef readers" ?

[@knutkittel6521]

at 7:25 shouldn't name b13th instead of 13th for the Edim triad for the d-7b5 chord? Thanks for checking.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

Yes, Bb is b13 in the key of D. No doubt about it!

[@ronrobbins2737]

Serious question Maestro Nick; could you actually HUM these lines you play along with the changes? In other words, are actually hearing/"feeling it" rather than playing these lines "like etudes."

[@ivonsmith3095]

Is there a simple system to apply to a chord to find possible Triad Pairs?

[@tvdeolhonasgerais1984]

Hy! My KZbin channel is called "TV de Olho nas Gerais"; but, my name is João Viana. I love studying music with your video lessons; I'm studying Soprano Sax; However, I have additional difficulties, because you record your videos with your beautiful soprano sax in C. My saxophone is in Bb; then, to study the scores and at the same time hear their articulations I need to transpose from Bb to C, increasing a tone; This makes everything much more difficult for those who don't have this skill. I have already purchased some of your studies in PDF; but, I was faced with the need to make the necessary adjustments; an additional hassle... I would love to continue purchasing your video classes and printed notebooks; but recorded in Bb. This can be resolved to help us focus on learning articulations; blue and jazz surrounds and swing; without having to worry about transposing the scores? Thank you very much!
