💬 Lesson Description

Many years ago, when I played guitar in a big band, the band director said something that stuck with me.

"Everybody practices playing triad patterns through the scale.”

I sat there thinking to myself, "I don't practice that. When I improvise, it sounds like a scale going up and down.”

That was when I realized something important:

Triad scale patterns are a solution to a problem. They can help our improvised melodies sound more fluid.

You can hear triad scale patterns in the music of many great players like Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, and Joe Pass.

In the lesson, I demonstrate four arpeggio patterns in all five forms of C major, and then I show you how to apply them to real music.

It’s very dense, but with practice, you’ll be able to improvise with more fluidity and originality.

I hope you enjoy the lesson! Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks! :)
