Learn to ornament your triad based voice leading ideas (developed in Triads For Life) with a variety of melodic triad techniques that will turn your simple triad-based ideas into legit, spontaneous jazz vocabulary.
We use multiple practices and steps to help you develop this new dimension to your improvised vocabulary starting with root structure triads and discussing how this can be applied to more advanced and colorful upper structure triads.
Transcription and learning riffs from your favorite players is always a wonderful idea. But it's hard to become fluent in a language by only memorizing phrases. We also need to learn how to think on our feet and develop our own ideas. Once we can voice lead triads, the foundation is there for us to stand on. By adding in just a couple of simple melodic techniques, we can ornament those triads into authentic melody and phrases that will sound musical, precise, and authoritative... and NOBODY will have the slightest clue that you're 'just using triads'.
Stop regurgitating riffs, and start spontaneously creating!
