3 Levels of Triad Pairs 

Man, such great stuff here. I miss being a member with y’all. I’ve been writing your dues off as continuing education, but after the covid dry spell I just cant afford it. The free material is always appreciated. Thanks Adam.

Level 3 on my own I couldn't track mentally but my ears opened up to that thing where you could play almost anything!

Thank you. For this and all the rest. Open Studio is the rising tide that floats all boats; for both the individual player and other content creators. As a guitarist I feel it's easier to learn from a pianist. Visually eliminating all the "guitar stuff" really helps me visualize your concepts.

I applaud you for not going after 101 content. there is a plague of it. I know everyone does that because it "helps with the algorithm", instead you chose to offer content no one else is covering this deeply. I am thankful for a few golden nugget content creators like you Adam. keep up the awesome and inspiring work.

Just wanted to say that as a guitarist that's trying to figure out how to make triads work, this video has been incredibly useful. I've been struggling with the idea of using them, and this lesson has really helped break down some barriers. Thanks!

Your personality… speaks volumes, as well as your prowess. Cheers Adam 🙏🏽🇦🇺

Your teaching is really good for me. I learn so much from you. Thank you

You're bassline work is lovely

This is great because you're showing these triad pairs relative to the underlying chord's harmonic function in a tune. I've seen a lot of videos where someone will say "play the flat 6 over a VII chord" but not show how or where that VII chord is functioning in the tune. Here you have given tune and key context, and the "levels" provide good ideas about what to match with what. Nice video. I'm going to turn the three levels into a 12-key spreadsheet and would be happy to share if anyone's interested.

you´re a great teacher, Adam. Its useful, its fun, I get to play with you and I can feel that i learn something. Thank you!

Awesome. And such fun. Just the thing after a furiously busy day at work.

Thank you for this! I will be exploring this a lot in my practicing

Wowww! Such precious stuff and clear explanations to use triads!!! Tks a Lot

Love triad pairs :-) Thanks for laying them out on a II-V-I-VI in such a hip way! Love it!

Wow love your approach to the triads.

Great teaching, great material!

Great stuff to share - thanks!

years of confusion boiled down into a digestible format. You’re doing gods work

great lesson. Everything is starting to come together about the whole art of playing outside

This is exciting. Glad I found this channel

Crispy! Great stuff Adam!

AWESOME! THANKS FOR SHARING.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful information!

Man this is crazy! Thank you so much.

Thank you. Very nice. I learned something, bro! Keep up the good work.

Omg, soooo good! Thanks a lot! 🤯🙏

Je suis guitariste, et c'est la meilleure vidéo que j'ai trouvée sur les triad pairs ! Merci !

Genius. Love it!

Nice video man ! encouraged me to play more triadic stuff... great

Thanks a Lot for your video!!!

Ganz toll! Du hast den Groove :-) I like your basslines! The Triads, the sound of triads and voicing, thanks for your „half whole“ triads as well! So viel zu lernen !!! Dankeschön aus Deutschland!

Man, I'm just gonna keep on sayin' it...love you guys' content. So well applied as well as explained; and your playing in the background is a real help for me as a melody instrument to get some practice in. Loop, enjoy, repeat! 😁

Great masterclass!!

Thanks so much!

GREAT LESSONS

Good stuff!

This is amazing. I missed out on so much focusing solely on classical in uni

merci trop cool!!

Nice one. Really really nice. Have heard but don't know the application but now I understand. Masterfillz from Nigeria

It was Cherokee that Herbie wrote the solo on - your correction instincts were right!

YES!!!!!

Very cool

Love the blurred background

I think I hear some resonance on that B1 key on the piano, especially when Adam is playing that bass line at 7:36

And to think, I was just about to go to bed too. Great lesson.

< ! Feel SOoo gOOd...see you tomorrow! >

Thank you.. This is what I wanted to know. I will practice from now. Again thank you

Great leason!! If there’s a good book on this subject please recommend it.

bagus sekali. matur suksma

That's it. I'm a nerd for this.

First thing you played reminded me of sara by fleetwood mac

Thank you so much Adam, it would help if you change this: B-flat, for this: Bb

So my take away is this: Thinking relative to the actual chord you are playing (current bass note) .... For any minor chord the triad pair is (b3maj & 4maj) OR (b7maj & 1min) For any altered chord the triad pair is (b6maj & b5maj ) OR (b7maj & 1maj) 👈this second option is not as cool or altered really but it was given as a triad pairing in his first etude And for any major chord the triad pairing is ( 5maj & 6min) OR (2maj & 3min) I'm thinking of the triad pairings relative to the chord you are currently playing and not the chord progression or the tonic key. This allows the triad pairs to be more easily translatable to any key or any song/chord progession... at least for me... which is why I took the time to write this out.

As a musician with almost no jazz training, this really helps answer a question which has often nagged at me - “why does jazz sound like that?”

Deus abençoe

Level 4 is playing C over all the changes on giant steps

🙏

❤

👌

When playing the Triad Pairs, does it make a difference which one you start with?

Can somebody explain to me how the G7 was change to B7 ? In level 3 Did he use modal interchange ? Or ?

Lev 3 has a Red Clay vibe to it

Adam: "Okay, let's try this together now; play along." Me: 👁👄👁

So basically playin g major pentatonic on the II V I VI you are good to go

👍🏼

Hi Open Studio, I think there is a typo in your title ! Great video by the way

Are the left hand voicing supposed to be rootless? I dont know why, in version 1 for example, Dmaj7 w/ Fmaj is voiced as FGAC. I assume rootless?

Can someone explain the substitution of G7 with B7 in "level 3"? I've heard of substituting dominant chords a minor 3rd away (as a diminished kind of thing) but never heard of MAJOR 3rd away substitution on dominant. Adam kind of glosses over this and says "it happens all the time". Is that true? Any links to recordings that do this? This is a weird substitution that I think deserves a little more explanation. Thanks!

Lay that bass line down on double bass and record a jam for us ;)

So my seggesrion is Polychords..there is maybe a subtile diffetence poly chord could Use 16 different shapes ovet a dominat built on major or Minor Mediant....the idea of upper structure stays the same the Triads are there interwoven as wel....Generic Modality Compressipn

Good stuff, but got pretty convoluted for me in the third iteration.

thank u i am retire .i can not afford it.

I’m getting Bob Ross vibes lol idk why

I HAVE A TRANSCRIBING REQUEST PRAYERS FOR RAIN BY BLUETECH (DUB MIX) ITS ABOUT A MINUTE IN AND IS A FILTHY SOLO

highpass filter would be great, my dude! Voice is so boomy

Great practice exercises...only why couldn't you write Bb instead of B -FLAT which is something my brain refuses to process? ;)

I wish you had discussed that you are playing tritones on your left hand(F & B) without adding the root to them as well as playing 4ths on the left hand ( EAD) without any explanation. This kind of assumed randomness is mighty confusing to the student when they think you are supposed to be playing literally what is written on the music. When you take a sharp turn without a full and clear explanation , it creates grey areas not only in sound potential but also in chord concepts and the absence of the supportive theoretical explanation.

Too advanced for me to comprehend.

'some modern players' *names three players that arent alive*

Umm... 1st 2 min.....what are triad pair? Not going to answer, why shoud i .... Im only making this lesson.....not going to difine it. Just say there modern....

Hahaaa😂😂😂 that is TOTALLY musician talk when you play something somewhat substantial and then look at someone and be like: “know what I’m sayin?” 😂😂😂😂
