I started studing jazz back in the 80's and never discovered this concept until now.

I love how modern it sounds

What other standards would you like to see the Triad Pairs system on? I would appreciate your ideas!

Your work on this is so evident - you’ve taken the time to play something that sounds BEAUTIFUL not just theoretically interesting or “correct” and that excites viewers to learn. I know I’ll be spending some time on triad pairs now!

I would LOVE more triad pair vids. You are an expert at this.

Great vid dude... you really help a lot of people with these vids

This video was the missing link I needed. I always thought triad pairs sound fantastic but couldn't see anyway they'd work on a jazz standard. I'm really thankful.

Excellent lesson! Very well done!

Thank you man! Really showed me the way to understand how to use these triads without sounding like a chump

Brilliant and your playing is so eloquent! Thanks so much for breaking it all down and playing slowly which really helps me understand. I'm a guitarist and playing this kind of stuff requires a lot of cross picking across the strings, which for me is difficult. Please keep it coming. Thanks so much!

This is great. Been wanting to get back into the triad pairs and Playing them on organ. There are so many I got a little overwhelmed doing exercises. But I like this approach - put them in a tune. I got stuck in trying to hear them in a standards context and wrote out a few lines and that combine elements. It helped But this is better. Thanks very much!

Man great channel I wondered what would you say when asked what is lyrical sounding to you, saludos desde Perú!

Lovely Nick. Great presentation as always.

Thank you again. Buenísimos recursos para trabajar la improvisación, muy ordenado y claramente explicado, excelente para el músico y el docente.

great information presented in a easy to digest manner thank you!

Really enjoyed this. Would like to see a series on a string of V7's like the bridge section to Rhythm Changes.

thanks for laying it out for all of us very clearly - great work! I wish I knew this stuff when I was starting out in the 80s trying to decode Trane and McCoy - it all finally makes sense after so many years. keep up good work! Peace & Jazz

Killer! couldn't wait to get home, grabbed pen and paper jotted down the changes and pairs, had the tune in BiaB already so let the kaleidoscope of colour begin. Thanks Nick as always, i also love this way as it takes the boring out of scales and accentuates the dormant beauty that lies within waiting to be released on the unsuspecting ear ;)

Masterful as usual, Nick! I love how you connect the music theory with the SOUND! 🎷

Thanks for speaking so clear… it’s so important for a no mother tongue… you are the best

This is so beautiful and useful, I'd definetly like to watch more videos about this specific content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Quick questions: at 2:35 it is said that Eb is the 6/13th of Gmin7b5. Wouldn't that be the #5/b6 or is there something I'm misunderstanding? Sorry if I am. By the way, I just bought the Approach Note Bundle and I started working on it. Can't wait to go through all the exercices before starting to work on triad pairs. Thank you!!

Great!! My fingers needs agility, but your exercises are helping me a Lot. TX.

Yes we want!

you're the man Nick, thank you. Any gigs in the UK coming up ?

It’s like one triad is the in-breath and the other is the out-breath. Or left and right. Or question and answer. Or call and response.

Please continue the part 3 of Mr.Stevie Wonder's "You and I". I've been waiting for it for so long.

Love this system. Would you mind running Autumn Leaves through. I will be ordering the book.

fantástico, i like it, congrat

muy bien nick sigo todo lo que publicas ! vivo por aca cerca tuyo algun dia te escribi en el verano para juntarnos alguna vez. abrazos

Absolutely love this concept, thanks so much.

Nick, como siempre superandote, excelentes recirsos y sonidos para disparar nuestra creatividad, gracias!!! Realmente hechas luz a esta loca parte de vida de este loco mundo, gran abrazo!!! 😊👍👍👍

Outstanding!

Outstanding teaching and playing Nick happy studying with you, a great challenge would be for example Very early by Bill Evans.

Bellissimo!

I believe the key signature should be C, not Bb since it clearly resolves to/ends in C Maj, the first 2 bars setting up the subdominant minor, FMin. then the D-7b5 to G7, the II V of I, C.. (leave alone your alto is an Eb instrument where it'd be written for you in Eb to SOUND in C ). This is in no way a value judgement on your very nice playing...

Hi Nick. Great work. I Have a question. What triad go first? Does it matter? Example. Over a Dm, I put Dm and Em (a dorian sound) or start with Em and Dm. Thanks

Lovely work, thank you. How about one"of my fav's The Chicken" next. Would you consider some triad inversions vids soon, please? Enjoy you day, stay well. 😀

All of me, all the things you are, body and soul 🙂

Great video. Could you go over "Footprints" with this concept?

Great educational video,

@14'20 : title seems not right : "Gb augmented and F minor over Ab7" instead of "Gb augmented and G minor over Ab7" Over this beautiful Ab7, what do you think of this another pair triad : Bmin/F# - Fmin To highlight this B instead of Bb (#9 of Ab7) wich is also the leading tone in the tone of Cminor, wich is the context of this 2 bars.

Great stuff. Do you think about the contour of the melody at all, the tension/release of the plain piece etc?

Hi, I'm looking at your Thesaurus of Minor Triad Pairs. do you go over Major triad pairs in that course? If not, is there another course you offer that uses major triad pairs?

Serious question Maestro Nick; could you actually HUM these lines you play along with the changes? In other words, are actually hearing/"feeling it" rather than playing these lines "like etudes."

Muchas gracias por el video, estuvo genial. Podrìan ser alguno de ellos?: "Garota de Ipanema", es bossa, Jazz latino de Jobim. "Spain", jazz fusiòn, de Corea o “Georgia on My Mind” de Hoagy Carmichael

Great Stuff. What product of yours would you recommend for me to purchase to help me develop my Triad Pair concepts? I've been working hard on my Triad Pairs in 12 keys Majors, Minors, Dim and Aug. Thanks

Thanks for another great video. You have a beautiful sound on soprano, what mouthpiece, lig and reed do you use?

at 7:25 shouldn't name b13th instead of 13th for the Edim triad for the d-7b5 chord? Thanks for checking.

I need this.

Is there a simple system to apply to a chord to find possible Triad Pairs?

Sensacional!!!

esta data es tremenda ,

Hi what about us "only bass clef readers" ?

Hy! My KZfaq channel is called "TV de Olho nas Gerais"; but, my name is João Viana. 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.

Nice,but "sempre quella!.
