Triangles ?

0zoro · #1 08-05-2010, 08:26 AM

Does anyone have a suggestion for a book whick clearly lays out chord triangles, ie 3 note chords? This is an elimentary concept I know, I need it Im sure. Thanks

Do you mind elaborating further? Are you speaking of basic triads, or 3 note shell voicings ( root, 3rd, 7th) like Freddy Green used?

Freddy Triangle?

I think the OP meant "triad".

I was having a blues conversation with a student last night, and we talked a bit about Freddy King.

Has anyone ever played the triangle at Burger King?

Thanks guys. Always a pleasure to amuse. Yes, Derek caught my oooooops first, I ment TRIADS of course. So back to business, are any of you acquanted with a book, article, site etc which maps out the concept for me. I would need the info i tabs, as I unfortunately dont read, (some may wonder if I can write at this point), as you have already surmised.

All of these books use triads heavily:

Amazon.com: Mel Bay Getting Your Improvising Into Shape (9780786672776): David Becker: Books

Amazon.com: Jazz Improvisation for Guitar: A Melodic Approach (9780634017728): Garrison Fewell: Books

Hit www.tedgreene.com and go the 'Lesson' section. He has many lessons sheets on triads and will likely give you everything you would want to know.

You could also buy his book called 'Chord Chemistry', widely considered the Bible when it comes to harmony on the guitar. He has a section on triads.

Once you learn to read music (do it), pick up the George Van Eps series called 'Harmonic Mechanisms'. They are scary books at first, but they are useful with some work.
