Welcome to the channel! Glad to have you here 🙌🏻

[@gardengazette]

I've just recently subscribed and I am inspired by your teaching style. I'm compelled to learn (again and go back after years of stalling learning). I definitely want to up my piano playing to a whole new level.

Great teacher ❤

[@johnlewis9649]

This is a good lesson. Little by little it all adds up and works together. I like the phrase, "beyond the notes". There is always so much more in piano learning, where ever you are in the process. Piano music never gets old. Thanks for all the good tips!

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

Thanks for taking the time to say so! I’m glad that resonated. You’re so right!

[@ziegunerweiser]

I think triads are the most important tool a person can use when improvising or trying to write melodies over a chord progression, you should be able to hear the chords change when there is no accompaniment - for example I have recordings of Sonny Rollins if I remember correctly a two cd set live at the Vanguard that is just sax, bass and drums - no one is playing chords, only one note is being played at a time but you can hear the chords change.
From memory I can say the fist thing you hear when you listen to the second movement of the Brahms violin concerto is a triad - a very effective melodic tool.
The violin is my obsession but I love piano just as much. My primary instrument is guitar and I study everything I can get my hands on. I think saxophone players play the most interesting notes, it may sound a little strange but I'm trying to play like a saxophone on violin and piano.
That being said there are no words to describe my love for the music of Bach, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff, they are the core of what gets me in addition to more the modern influences.

This is EXCELLENT! I've been searching for this type of instruction. Thank you.

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

You’re welcome!

[@Outlawssermon79]

Thanks for help i got blues down

[@ziegunerweiser]

as an afterthought the concept of triad pairs in jazz is something I've been experimenting with, Jerry Bergonzi did a few lectures about using them

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

For me i would say, Know the number system, Ear train and know theory. Anything else your going to take the long ways around. Like this way works but it has you looking at it from a formula based way instead of the bigger picture.

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

Ultimately yes! However, you gotta start somewhere and most don’t have a desire to learn a super high level of ear training or theory. In which case, a system like this is perfect in bridging the gap.

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio ya I mean it’s nothing fully wrong with that but it will have you stuck at the end on certain. Like that’s why I would say don’t half way learn it as a lot of information can be missed in between

there's something else I forgot to mention
I might be wrong about this techniacally but
a triad doesn't have to be 1 3 5 it can be 1 3 7 or 1 5 9
cliffs of dover by eric johnson created a triad pattern 1-5-10
I think some call these kind of wide interval triads "open voiced triads" - this pattern I had never heard at the time which was part of the head, years later I heard shawn lane improvise moving this pattern around on the live recording title "personae", shawn lane was sort of like the liszt of guitar players for my generation - liszt mixed with jeff beck
the other thing is the concept of superimposition - holdsworth used to talk about playing minor over major - playing a triad over a chord not starting on the root, one time I wrote an instrumental was c# min9 chord and played e maj triad on the top as a melody with a formula of 1 3 7 relative to e maj - a composition I once played on stage actually
a clearer way to explain superimposition is dont build the triad starting on the 1 but play 3 5 7 or 5 7 9 like inversions
you could try building patterns in 4ths, I came up with an idea a long time ago of building a chord scale in 4ths off of a 6/9 chord so you could play 3 6 9 or 6 9 12, figure out the modal patterns related to those kind of formulas
you could try building patterns in 5ths or 7ths, message in a bottle by the police is just moving 1 5 9 around, I used moving 1 5 9 around as an idea for a composition but with new and different rhythmic patterns and odd meters, rush stacked 5ths in the tune "marathon", so you can see Im really into progressive music and related concepts
melodic patterns stacking 4ths or 5ths has such a modern sound is what I said about carl vine's first sonata, theres a video analysis of this composition on "the cliburn" channel, a channel created for the van cliburn piano competition, it seems so alien to me someone could dance to this !
haha

be clever with your rhythm patterns and where you place the note, change the duration of how long you hold the note, use the backbeat, experiment with poly-rhythms, don't always start on the one of the beat - start in the middle, chick corea was a master of improvising with rhythmic displacement
experiment with odd meters even though you have 3 notes you can still repeat one or more of the same note but group into 7s or 9s 11s 13s or 5 than 7 then 5 again then 9, example 1 5 1 3 5 / 1 5 1 3 5 3 3 - whatever mix it up
of course even if you play 1 3 5 dont forget you can play 3 5 1 or 5 1 3 or 3 1 5 etc you get the idea, improvisers will tell you to experiment with this concept commonly referred to as varying your "permutations"
my favorite jazz lick is play a triad followed by 3 consecutive descenting chromatic notes - really bends the ear, I hear everyone in jazz using this, remember any idea you come up with can be inverted, I learned this from bach that is to say if your pattern is ascending you can do the exact opposite descending like instead of starting on 1 and ascend start on 5 and descend
some of these concepts are approaching the material i have been goofing around with from a book titled intervallic improvisation by walt weiskopf, a completely different approach to improvisation than linear harmony in which I really like the book connecting chords with linear harmony by bert ligon and the jazz piano book by mark levine
overall i think my favorite example of triads in improvisation is actually the solo to whos crying now by journey, that and check out bill evans solo on love for sale on the miles 58 sessions record (my favorite jazz recording of all time other than giant steps)
I hope I have given you some ideas to experiment with to break out of traditional patterns - be creative, think outside of the box, be inventive and clever, try to find something youve never heard before, explore the modern sound
