I consider them triads unless there's a 7th added to the sus4.

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

Upper structure extensions of the chord and alterations of the chord would also be chord tones. Sorry to … um … split hairs. Anyway … arpeggio implies a structure to me. Like when I think of an...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

I've spent this afternoon working with the Coda section and have come to appreciate the way Arnold has constructed this section. There is some very nice voice leading, some nice syncopation, a full...

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

I’m confused as to why the Florentine would cause more breaks? Surely the inner radius of the Venetian is greater because it has to do more bending? Of course I’ll bow to those in the know but could...

Florentine vs Venetian: which one is better?

I beg to differ on that point. Here is what Merriam-Webster's dictionary has as the definition for arpeggio: arpeggio 1: production of the tones of a chord in succession and not...

Florentine vs Venetian: which one is better?

You are talking about tritone sub of a dominant perhaps? But here it is a major chord. A substitution always preserves the fundamental role of a chord, whether it's tritone substitution or other...

It’s just like BM to pay it forward! I hope he has it comfortable and is at peace. He has a good soul!

Campellone PSA

I presume the context is more what **** should people work on first, rather than trying to define what is and isn’t a triad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

So, I see what you're saying but...isn't the Tritone used to create tension and dissonance? Isn't it used to LEAD to the tonic?? Not be the tonic. In other words, if you sub the tritone of chord,...

Tim Lerch on Reharm

The best one is the one you haven't got a great example of. Or the one that you only have a few of. Just to confirm my heretic status: I think the few examples I've seen of the pointy cutaway on...
