Description

This is a great beginning lesson on using triad pairs to improvise. i talk about what triad pairs are and how to practice and use them over a 12 bar blues. Included in this lesson is a written 3 chorus solo on a C blues utilizing 2 different triad pairs. I talk about how to create lines using this concept that are hip and refreshing. If you haven’t studied this concept before then this is a great lesson to really change your approach to a blues in a great way. I demonstrate all the examples on tenor using a BP NY link .108 with my own custom baffle in it. (24 minute audio lesson)

    Great Fun!!! A fantastic way to add some variety to playing over blues changes. If you’ve been enjoying Steve’s other blues lessons, combining this approach with the blues scale and bebop scale material, really expands your vocabulary on the blues. It’s a very simple concept with endless possibilities. Steve does a great job of presenting the ideas in a way that’s easy to understand and more importantly, easy to apply to your blues playing right now. Five Stars!

    Ken – September 7, 2011

    Hi Steve – the Triad Pairs Blues lesson is amazing – just kept me going for hours! I have found the whole thing of working with triads very difficult because the sound is so un-jazz!! Sounds like I’m doing classical music practice. Oh no! But this combination of triad pairs is great as the sounds are so cool – especially mixing in the tritone pair C/F# as well and using the Aebersold Dominant Vol 84 play along in all keys and throwing in pentatonics and blues scales as that’s what I’m working on as well at the moment. The variety of sounds is just great and as I played I realized that that is what players are doing sometimes – mixing and contrasting scales. Another great lesson with so much to work on – thanks! Ken

Hello Steve,

I have not received my alto yet but have already gone through 14 lessons. I love your approach, style, knowledge and competence. I now regret so much to have stayed away from playing the sax for the past 45-50 years…(I am 65).  But It is never too late to get back to your first love. After 23 years in compuer sciences and 22 years in finances…I am now back to music for the rest of my life.

Doing some research on the net, I found this:

I have NEVER seen material like yours.  Amazing!!

By the way, BIG COMPLIMENTS to you, Steve! Not only are you a great player, you are also a great teacher! I, too, am a woodwinds player/teacher. I have new inspiration to play and teach because of you. The concepts and “thinking” is similar to what I already learned in College, but hearing you explain and PLAY the concepts REALLY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE! Also, your written patterns are more interesting than other books I have seen! Keep up the good work. I will be recommending your sit… Read more
I will be recommending your site to others!
I want to let you know that your instructional material is transforming my playing.  It is an immense pleasure to learn and play now, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am. The instructional material I got from you is by far the best of any I own (and I have over 100 books, DVDs, and what not). I literally can’t thank you enough! Deric

Thanks so much for putting all this great learning material out there. I don’t often have the time to take a lesson with a teacher, so the ability to download lessons is really invaluable. My playing has improved enormously (I think :)) – and the lessons are so varied there’s always something to be inspired by. Incredible value too!
Roger
I have been a member of Neffmusic for more than a year now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have not only been going thru the Dominant Bebop Scale lessons and book (OUTSTANDING!) but the mouthpiece reviews, solo clips and transcriptions are very interesting. Steve approach to beginning and intermediate improv have given me many new pathways to teach my high school jazz ensemble students. Congratulations Steve, great product!

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.  I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more bite sized way.

Milton

Steve, just a note to say thanks.

I’ve been playing a long time, but your material, laid out in such a thoughtful way, helps me to understand concepts in a new and deeper way.

You are a true gift to the jazz community.

60 lessons and going strong,

Kevin Ledbetter

Love your lessons!  I have been using your lesson packages for many months now, and am learning a lot.  It is so perfect for me with a very busy adult schedule and difficulty in taking jazz/improv music lessons from reputable instructors who live and hour or more away from me.

Lenore
I would like to say that in the last year my sax playing has progressed loads from your lessons. I have had a sax for about 20 years and dabbled with lessons from a few teachers and have learnt very little from them. As you have said in your lessons many teachers tell you to use the blues scale and leave it there, not even showing you the resolution points!!. I am now believing I can in time become a good improviser.
Thanks again,
Shane
