Introduction
In contemporary music, the use of triads is an important element in improvisation and composition.
They are as prevalent as scales, modes, arpeggios, rhythms, and intervallic ideas.
Like scales and modes, triads can be substituted in tonal and modal music. They can also be
superimposed, creating bitonality or polytonality. Superimposed triads give us synthetic scales
such as hexatonic (6 note scales = 2 triads), or nonatonic scales (9 note scales = 3 triads).
What Is a Triad?
A triad is a three-note chord made up of a root, third, and fifth. There are four triad families:
Major triad: 1-3-5
Minor triad: 1-b3-5
Diminished triad: 1-b3-b5
Augmented tri ad: 1-3-# 5
Of course, in everyday applications triads are played with different inversions:
Root position
1-3-5

Inversion possibilities
3-5-1, 5-1-3, 3-1-5, etc.

Sometimes triads are played with one degree dispersed an octave higher:

regular triads
open triads

This dispersement procedure creates what is referred to as an open triad, and can be applied
to minor, diminished, and augmented triads, as well as major.

Triad Substitution
Triad substitution is where one triad is substituted in place of another. One of the most common
is flat-five-or tri-tone substitution. This is when a triad a flat-fifth degree (tri-tone) away is
substituted for a chord. For example: instead of playing a G major triad over a G7 chord, a Db
major triad (Db is a flat-fifth away from G) is "substituted."

Triad Superimposition
Triad superimposition is where two or more triads are played one after the other, creating a
"dispersed scale" effect of bitonality or polytonality. Of course all triads can be substituted or superimposed
in both tonal and modal music, either using the single-note approach or voiced in chord form.
 

About this Book
The purpose of this book is to help you to create your own ideas using triad concepts. It is
divided into two parts: tonal music (II-V-I chord progressions, Chapters 1 and 2) and modal
music (Chapters 3 and 4). Keep in mind that the examples do not follow a specific order
of difficulty; you can jump in anywhere and work with the licks you like best. You also might want
to listen to the CD first to locate the examples that appeal to you the most.

About the Audio
Throughout this book, the numbers in the audio symbols (+) indicate the CD track number
where each example will be found on the accompanying CD.
Each example is played at full tempo, and most are repeated at half speed. In addition, short
introductory phrases (which are not transcribed in the examples) are sometimes included to provide
a better sense of context and to maintain an improvisational feel.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jean Marc Belkadi started playing guitar at age 14. He graduated from the
Toulouse Music Conservatory in his hometown. In 1984,he left France for the
u.s. to learn at the Musicians Institute of Technology in Los Angeles where he
received the Best Guitar of the Year Award.

Contest. For three years he was musical director of the Johnny Hune TV show.
He has written two guitar method books addressing Jazz, Fusion and Rock
soloists and recorded one solo album.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this book is not to be a guitar method book with a captalIM."
Rather, it is intended as a source of inspiration to help you develop your own
ideas. The three key areas that I focus on and encourage you to explore are:

Melody
In any style of music you are into, the melodic direction, sound, and phrasing
are the first and most important things to consider. For this reason-and to
develop the connection between your ear and fingers-I recommend that you
sing all the lines (slowly at first).

Harmony
All of the lines are performed against a certain chordal background. However,
they can also be used with other chords and will sound different in each context.
I encourage you to experiment by playing them in different chordal contexts using
a tape recorder, a synthesized background, a friend, or whatever you may have
available.

Technique
This book is geared for guitar players and makes use of various techniques that
are unique to the guitar, including alterna te, sweep, and skip picking, hammer-ons,
pull-offs, and tapping. Play the lines very slowly and accurately at first and
gradually speed up. Don't forget that the melody should sound natural to you at
any tempo. The harmony should be implicit, your phrasing clean, and timing
perfect.
Let's begin now! I hope you will enjoy this as much as l do ...

Editor's notes:
Follow the audio icons in the book to keep your spot on the CD.
A short "introductory" solo portion may sometimes precede the main lick of each
figure, to give it a better sense of context. However, only the main lick itself
appears transcribed in each case.

PLAYING IN THE GROOVE. Corey C. DVD

Product Description:
One of the roles of a jazz guitarist is providing accompaniment. Economy of rhythm and harmony while comping and grooving with a band will get jazz guitarists further with their fellow bandmates than playing lots of bulky, cluttered rhythms and chords. "Playing in the Groove" will demonstrate to jazz guitar students how not to overplay in a small jazz group settings but rather play tasty lines and chords that will impress any soloist. In this DVD, emphasis is placed on locking in with a bass player and drummer and using chord voicings that won't clutter up the harmony. The accompanying chart provides abbreviated but clear and easy to understand musical material that is covered in the 48-minute DVD.

BUILDING A JAZZ CHORD SOLO, A Guitarist's Guide to the Art of Chord Melody Playing. Fred Sokolow. CD TAB.

Series: Guitar Educational
Medium: Softcover with CD

Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate guitarist, this book/CD pack will help you to understand and learn the art of jazz chord soloing in four stages. Four jazz standards are presented, each with four arrangements at varying levels of difficulty: a beginner's arrangement, using mostly first-position chords - an intermediate arrangement, using moveable chords and featuring a more developed chord vocabulary - an advanced arrangement, including ample chord substitutions and reharmonization - an improvisational chord solo that leaves the melody behind. This teaches how to improvise a chord solo over a given set of changes. Plenty of information is presented along the way that will teach you how to build your own chord solos as well as understand and play jazz progressions. 55 pages

DELUXE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GUITAR CHORD PROGRESSIONS, Johnny Rector. CD TAB.

Product Description:
Johnny Rector has been recognized for years as one of America's top jazz guitar writers. Here, for the first time, he presents an analysis of modern chord progressions, extensions, alternations, substitutions and a "hands-on" series of exercises designed to utilize and apply these important concepts to the guitar fingerboard. This book was written as a self-study guide to the intermediate, advanced and professional guitarist who has not had the opportunity to study material of this kind with a first-class competent teacher-artist, although such a teacher can be of great assistance in learning to apply the material. It shows unusual chord forms and progressions beyond the basics. Written in standard notation.
