In this video, I am going to show you how you can use the triads that you already know as a great way to create some beautiful jazz guitar chords. Starting with material that you already know to open up a vast amount of jazz voicings is a really efficient approach to becoming much freer and begin to create a jazz chord vocabulary, and it is also really great for fretboard knowledge.
It is really interesting to explore how great a tool the triads are as jazz voicings.
I am going to do this in three steps:
1 - How To Find Triads You Can Use, in a Practical Way
2 - Easily Turn This Into a lot of chords and ideas to play
3 - Find Triads for more Complicated Chords with Extensions
Triads make fantastic jazz chords and as you will see in the last part of the video they also work as building blocks if you want to expand on the jazz chords with alterations and extensions.
The triad is also a powerful arpeggio in solo: • Triads on a G7 - The M...

I had to watch this video a couple of times to understand it. Wow, so we unlatch the root note & then we can move the triads for that chord into different areas of the fretboard & still be in the same chord just without the root. Perhaps with some of these triad voicings, the root note would not even be reachable. This is definitely a revelation for me, Jens. Thank you!

I'm a beginner to jazz. I've been watching other instructors on KZfaq and have learned bits and pieces here and there, but your lessons for me have been the most succinct and bountiful of them all! This all started when I came across your video on alternate picking. I am finally sounding like a musician. In my opinion, you are a great teacher.

I know it's valid and no doubt helpful to the very advanced players out there and an interesting study. But, I think I had better stay with the simple triads and fool all my friends into thinking I'm a good musician! Thanks for sharing.
