OBJETIVOS Y PROPÓSITOS
The book of Theory / Superposition of Triads 1, for all instrumentalists, includes the following triads: Major, Minor, Diminished
and Augmented, my idea is to generate a form of musical thinking from use and overlap of triads, either from the formation of the
seventh chord to the application of tensions.
From a simple unit such as the triad we will be able to easily handle different harmonic textures, for example, by superimposing
the triad of Em on Cmaj7 we generate: 3, 5 and 7 of the chord, instead if we superimpose the triad of D Major we will be
generating: 9, # 11 and 6.
In the future, the management of this concept will allow us not only to use the different triads when improvising but also to
think of other harmonies which will be superimposed on the original ones to be used in the form of chords
CONTENTS
The book has 20 lessons with all the details of the application of the triads and 20 exercises which include different specific
th
harmonic progressions to apply the different overlays. It also contains the superposition of the different triads on Circle of 5
(8 chord species) and 4 Standards, major and minor blues.
The information is organized according to the functional harmony both in the major mode and in the minor mode, including:
diatonic substitutions, secondary dominant, substitutes, second relative minor, etc.
The Synthesis tables and summaries do not give the possibility of having all the information organized for quick and easy
permanent consultation.
In the book the triads are presented in a closed position which does not prevent anyone who wishes to investigate them in an
open position (Néstor Crespo Spread Triads 1 and 2 –www.serie20y20.com.ar)
In order to appreciate the sound generated by the superimposition of triads, listening to the audios included in each of the
lessons is essential.
This Book of Theory 1 also includes the audios corresponding to the exercises in a modal way, the harmonic progressions,
Standard and Blues major and minor themes.
