What an inspiring Tutor you are. Handling the Jazz basics had been as difficult for me as school mathematics. Thanks for demystifying it for me - Your content is crystal clear and enticing for practice. It's helped me to be patient whilst j hearing new melodies that assist my practice and motivation.
Thank you The sound of your soprano sax is inspiring in itself and your ideas are interesting and I am looking forward to try these out and will comment on my experience.
Love using triad pairs and hexatonics... as a guitar player triad pairs gets one around the fingerboard through inversions. Outside the boxes and old position playing. Thanks!!! Best rega4ds from Canada🙏
your playing is the reason I bought a soprano, as I heard it so much on your vids that I wanted to make soprano sounds. Your videos are very informative, well made and entertaining. I see sadness in your eyes and hope it will pass, whatever it is, NIck.
This is a cool approach. I have done similar by adding the 7th. But I like the sound of the triads better. It sounds more versatile key wise and I can use this instead of whole tones and 4ths(Which are elements of this approach but more melodic!!!!). I ordered the book and started working on this. Finally a reason to get back practicing past warmups....Thanks!!!!
What superbly produced and amazingly informative videos. You know, there are so many musical instruction videos on TH-cam these days that it's sometimes hard to separate not just the good from the bad, but those that go a bit further to be extra revealing and rewarding. I think that your material is quite frankly some of the best if not the best out there. The way you go beyond technique to connect the emotional response.. simply amazing. And the tone from that clarinet... wow. Please keep posting. Love it.
One thing I like about playing for decades is that music for other instruments becomes accessible, even though I'm on guitar. Too bad jazz does not want to work for mixo based blues.
Very cool lesson. It seems like what you are really suggesting is that we should master the ability to play 3 types of triad pairs: major + major, major + minor, and minor + minor. That covers the gamut! After that it’s all about learning which type of chords these pairs can be used on, and where to place them in relation to the root. In my own playing I already use the major + major triad pair formula all the time. I use it for a Dorian sound on minor chords (like F maj and G maj triads played over a D minor chord). I also use it sometimes for a mixolydian sound with a sunny 9th feeling (like Bb maj and Ab maj played over a Bb7 chord). So your first example was pretty easy to start playing immediately. But the other two are going to take a while. I can see it’s going to be worth the effort though. But I do have a question for you. All of these formulas are triads a whole step apart. Are there any triad pair formulas that are outside that mold? Like two major triads a 3rd apart, or a major + minor triad pair a 4th apart? Just curious. Thanks!
@@JazzDuets Berkley would do this to people... I guess what you are saying is that you were depressed for about 20 years now. Knowledge multiplies grief, I guess.
So, for transposing purpose.... over a I major tonality, I and ii ... iii and ii ... vi and V ... vi and vii In the fourth example.. is that a vii dim triad or vii minor?
Hi Allen, Nick presents Eb Major tonality, right? So the a = #4/#11 right? Your f# in D Major super imposes a minor 3rd over Major. Hé, that is a great sound as it gives ambiguity like in the blues, but it is not what Nick is pointing out, no doubt.
Don’t forget it’s in relationship to Eb major. So instead of it being D diminished (DFAb) it’s a Dm (DFA) with the four of Eb being raised (Ab ->A). Hope that helped :)
Bonjour Je ne comprends pas la logique du choix de ces triades pourquoi Eb + F et non Eb + Fm ? pourquoi Gm + Bb ? alors que Bb6=Gm pourquoi Cm + Dm et non Cm + DmØ ?
Fm ça peut marcher mais tu vas juste faire entendre une cadence (plagale) ce qui n'est pas l'effet recherché. Ici l'idée est de faire entendre des couleur (en utilisant des notes de la superstructure), pas des cadences. Ensuite la combinaison Gm+Bb n'est pas évoquée dans la vidéo car le principe des paires de triades est que les triades choisies ne doivent pas avoir de notes en commun.
Hy. My TH-cam channel is called "TV de Olho nas Gerais"; but, my name is João Viana. I live em BH city; Minas Gerais/ Brazil. 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! João Viana October 22/2023.
Hi Nick, I have a serious offer for you; as the most amazing incredible valuable jazz-teacher on the planet ....... you are invited to come and spend a week at our "musician's-home" in sunny Southern California (30min. drive from Laguna Beach) if a few of us can jam with you every day. We wine and dine you. Any time at all. Maybe even help with airfare . . . .
This is an exercise, this is not a way to play a jazz solo. Once you have repeated this pattern once or twice, it is time to play something melodic. If you are thinking about triad patterns you are not listening for the melody that the band is asking for.
What an inspiring Tutor you are. Handling the Jazz basics had been as difficult for me as school mathematics.
Thanks for demystifying it for me - Your content is crystal clear and enticing for practice. It's helped me to be patient whilst j hearing new melodies that assist my practice and motivation.
Nick, your content is awesome, please keep bringing us these awesome ideas and sounds!
I have heard a lot about triad pairs but they are more clearer here than somewhere else. Beautiful sound!!! Thanks.
Good to see you more watching sir😊
I practised this on clarinet .... Fantastico thank you so much
Thank very very much for sharing this vital intervalic shapes and combinations, it truly makes your viewing audience better musicians
Thank you
The sound of your soprano sax is inspiring in itself and your ideas are interesting and I am looking forward to try these out and will comment on my experience.
Amo o jazz duets!!! Um abraço do Brasil !
Thanks Nick !
Quality content
Cool stuff, Nick! Do keep this stuff coming!
Beautiful Tone too

Nick your methodology is simply amazing! You teach inspiring with your examples! I’m your big fan
I love this stuff. Sounds like I need to practice this!
Very interesting sounds on the D major using the C minor and B minor chords, which you did not discuss.
your playing is the reason I bought a soprano, as I heard it so much on your vids that I wanted to make soprano sounds. Your videos are very informative, well made and entertaining. I see sadness in your eyes and hope it will pass, whatever it is, NIck.

Beautiful, and thought provoking!
Thank you, Nick
Hello From Brazil. Just to say I love your work! Muito Obrigado!!!
Thanks jazz duet, This is cool stuff
Sincerely, appreciate
Kennedy
That synth sound at the begining: Sing to the Moon, Snarky Puppy & Laura Mvula.
Your content I so valuable and well developed. Congrats friend! Keep it up!
Knowing the combinations is the first step... Knowing when to use them... OMG!!!
The content that you create is of great educational value. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Gracias! Muy buena info
Always great work. It s interesting how Lydian sound with those triads. Thank you so much for all what you give to us. I always learn a lot.
So interesting, thank you so much
Many thanks boss, I love all but Cm & F maj most.

I agree!!
That ' clarinete' you mention is really a soprano sax !
I loved it too!
I love all 4 of these sounds/emotions Nick. Totally useful tools...thanks so much 💕
Thanks Wil!
Amigo vas cada vez mejor, es increible lo bien que explicas 👏👏👏
Great concept! Time to get back in the woodshed
me too! Going now
A lot of ideas Bonjour de France
The sax sound hits SOUL'S DEEP FROM BRASIL
Fantastic ❤
Bravo! Exelente recurso 👋👋👋👋👍
Inspiriring content thank you. C
I am a diatonic harmonica player and many of your videos are very helpful
I play predominantly by ear with a smattering of theory
Thank you for this.
Nice Jazz lesson, I'm a piano player, but the lesson is relevant to me!
Grat stuff as always!!!
Great sounds Nick. I like the 2th … 🙂
like the... tooth? Secondth? I am confused now 😅
Amazing content
I love this channel, I've been learning a lot with this content. thank you very much 😊
Captei a mensagem professor. obrigado.
great video thank you!
Awesome as always
great lesson
Uma simplicidade mais porém eficaz. Quantas combinações de Pares de Triades podem ser aplicados em um único acorde, Eb.
Parabens!! Os videos são incríveis!
Genial, increiblemente sencillo, eficaz y muy bien explicado. Congrat!!
One thing I like about playing for decades is that music for other instruments becomes accessible, even though I'm on guitar. Too bad jazz does not want to work for mixo based blues.
Nick Many thanks for the sharing
Some.leads to explore
Coud we say we are close to lydian sound with thé 4 th aug ?
GOOD JOB.
Keep it up 👍
Triad pairs over Killer Joe!
That would be cool!
Always inspirational!
Great!

Muy bueno! y utilizando un acorde menor como base? Gracias!
your sound is so beautiful, have you ever released an album of your own music?
I would listen to it every night!
THANKS! yes I have 7 albums, the last one though in 2005 when I lost my musical identity (a good thing as I started this channel as therapy!)
@@JazzDuets Berkley would do this to people... I guess what you are saying is that you were depressed for about 20 years now. Knowledge multiplies grief, I guess.
is that what john surman did into past ECM records ?
it is very beautiful. but it seems to be always same color, the lydian mode, isn't it ?
👏 from 🇵🇭
Top Shelf stuff
nice.
What brand of soprano mouthpiece do you use
2th???? Great sounds though Nick
Wow
So, for transposing purpose.... over a I major tonality, I and ii ... iii and ii ... vi and V ... vi and vii In the fourth example.. is that a vii dim triad or vii minor?
What about Amb5 over Ebmajor it sound good for me
the video is about triad pairs rather than single chords
Easily it makes a great lounge music pattern collection
Dig it
great! but the Cm and Dm how does it gave a #4 relation, it would have to be a D major, or im missing something, I like the concept, thx!
Related to Eb major, our root!

Whats the hramony that you playing over?
< ! Coño...donde estabas hace 50 años¡'¡!jajaja GRACIAS MuuuChas¡!>
Bonjour
Je ne comprends pas la logique du choix de ces triades
pourquoi Eb + F et non Eb + Fm ?
pourquoi Gm + Bb ? alors que Bb6=Gm
pourquoi Cm + Dm et non Cm + DmØ ?
It's the lydian sound.
si tu essayais tu devrais demander
Fm ça peut marcher mais tu vas juste faire entendre une cadence (plagale) ce qui n'est pas l'effet recherché. Ici l'idée est de faire entendre des couleur (en utilisant des notes de la superstructure), pas des cadences.
Ensuite la combinaison Gm+Bb n'est pas évoquée dans la vidéo car le principe des paires de triades est que les triades choisies ne doivent pas avoir de notes en commun.

Sam Rivers just plays all wrong notes.
This is a blurst!
This is an exercise, this is not a way to play a jazz solo. Once you have repeated this pattern once or twice, it is time to play something melodic. If you are thinking about triad patterns you are not listening for the melody that the band is asking for.
tell that to Michael Brecker.
