Cool Triad Move!

[GuitarguyRichard]

Great list of players you mentioned at the beginning. Scott Henderson is fantastic. Love your teaching style

This is helping me see which scale/arpeggio shapes go with the 1/4/5 progression moves at one position. Really helped!

[jeffreyreid]

This lesson had immediate application results. Awesome!

This is a simpler version of this Lydian Dominant thing that Jack Ruch plays on the IV in a blues. He had a cool video spelling it out. You can also play it on any minor one chord too. If you played that lick here it would be C# D E F A C# E G F. So it just adds in the E (9 of the Dm) and G (11 of the Dm) for some more color. They’re in the key but are color notes for the Dm chord in addition to the C# that’s outside the key.

Great lesson. Thank you for keeping it simple.

the pre-bent really helps add to that surreal feeling.

'mornin' Jeff. I was hearing Sultans of Swain in my head the through that Dm-A vamp.. More great stuff, thank you! 🖖

I used to think I didn't like this feel but you just made me see the error of my ways - thanks.

@Jeff McErlain more cool triad moves that apply to minor blues like this please; and if I wanted to understand the theory behind such things were would I start would that be chord substitutions?

[michaelarthurmusic]

Excellent! More stuff like this please.

[davepmolloy]

Consider this ....eh ....borrowed...Jeff 👀. Awesome. Thanks. Beautiful tone as ever

[chuckfluker]

Excellent lesson Jeff! I’ve been following your channel for awhile and the content is great!

[philjones]

Comments like "it'll sound a bit forced at first" do help a lot Jeff!

[davidcromwell]

This is VERY cool. Thanks Jeff!

P.S. The transcription should have 9 (C#) on the top string, not 8 (C), in order to hit that A major triad.

[bazilbrushrocks]

Maybe I missed something here, but if I play minor pentatonic and then add a major arpeggio from the V I find to at the b7 sounds really sour and is best omitted.

[JohnHorneGuitar]

Hey, what's the big idea making melodic minor so approachable, easy to understand, and apply??? Don't you know that melodic minor was created by jazz teachers in order to make everything more complicated and keep students coming back scratching their heads week after week? ;-)

[thAMG]

Makes sense. Cool. Thanks Jeff. Hi from Australia. 😉

[CarlHackman]

Great video, Jeff. I'm still trying to absorb theory and love this sort of lesson. Isn't the C# also the 7th of the D Harmonic minor scale as well as the 7th of the D Melodic minor (ascending) scale? Thanks, Jeff :) Ahh, my bad. Harmonic minor has a Bb which is outside the Dorian scale, but is in the D Aeolian. I have a love/hate relationship with theory LOL

[MrAwesomeSaucesome]

Nice one Jeff. Am I right in thinking this works over natural minor as well? E.g. playing a Bmajor triad over an E aeolian thing?
