In this 5 minute masterclass we will look at how a pair of triads can define any mode and become a strong sound for improvising and comping.
Spend some time to work these chords and progressions, and once you feel comfortable you can move onto the main 32 bar form of the tune.
In this 5 minute masterclass we will explore how we can use triads as a way to create improvised melodies and whole improvised solos.
