Triads and the cycle of 4ths

November 28, 2005 at 2:00 PM

Its been so cold lately but today some nice warm weather. Im so thankful to be in good health and have such nice weather. Just happy to be here really. Lately Ive been playing music with 2 different people and its alot of fun.

Last week Ron and I played Autumn Leaves and I started playing triad patterns in 4ths. For example Amin to D13 to Gmaj I play triads in 4ths starting with Emin imposed over Amin like this

Gmaj scale
G A B C D E F#

triads in 3rds moving in 4ths
E G B
A C E
D F# A
G B D

etc

Try it out!

It is rather nice today in Cleveland too. A bit windy, but much warmer than it was over Thanksgiving break.
