September 2019 - The 7#9#5 pdf Tonality Study Book

Your pdf download will include:

  • A full break down of the theory inside the 7#9#5 tonality - how it's built pianistically, and how we can apply this to the guitar to help you break out of drop chords, scale runs, and outlining changes with the same chord tones... and instead get you into real music making with it
  • A look at the most common uses of this altered dominant in basic, simple chord progressions
  • The study guide starts with the most basic, fundamental concepts for using this tonality, and grows outward into complexity all the way until we're using all 12 notes of the chromatic scale over it - allowing you to learn how to make deep music quickly using the fundamentals, and then allowing for a lifetime of growth
  • An emphasis is put on developing pianistic harmony, breaking away from chord grips and creating melodic movement inside of chord voicings, simple melodic phrasing, melodic triad bebop scales, quadratonic arpeggios, triad pairs, and other melodic triad specific concepts
  • Includes many comping and soloing examples in standard notation and tab to help you get the theory and the ideas onto the fretboard and into your fingers quickly

What People Are Saying:

[The] Melodic Triad approach... provides a direct line inside, revealing the beauty of melodic tension and release, voice leading, and pianistic chord voicing.

Scott Krohn

I began to study this approach... and SBAM! I discovered sounds that I did not imagine I could handle. The way in which the topics are proposed is very organic and never boring! Forget the classic approach to the study of scales, arpeggios, and triads (often you end up doing only gymnastics). With the modality proposed in the course you just need a few notions to immediately start to get into the heart of the topic in a simple and rational way! In a short time I started improvising with a taste that I did not think I had!... I will never stop thanking you.

I find [this] method absolutely refreshing and so much closer to how the great improvisers are thinking and practicing than the traditional chord/scale, university approach to teaching improvisation. It's given me a whole new and fresh outlook on how to hear things and what to practice. Highly recommend!

Jordan Klemons is a great guitarist with unlimited potential. His prodigious technique is never an end in itself but instead the means to musical expression. He is a musician who looks to the past for inspiration and influence yet has a modern conception; he is someone to look out and listen for!
