    Great stuff! That is an idea that is simultaneously beautiful, useful, and that I have never thought of before. Time well spent watching this:)

    Triads over bass notes harmonic analysis assuming a tonic function: C (add9) Db/C = Csusb9b13 D/C = Cmaj13#11 Eb/C = C-7 E/C = Cmaj7#5 F/C = C13sus F#/C = C7b5b9 G/C = Cmaj9 (no 3) Ab/C = C7#9b13 A/C = C13b9 Bb/C = C9sus B/C = C°maj7

    @SaxophoneSteveKortyka no problem. This was helpful for me! I was using triads for all slash chords except the tonic for this analysis, so for example, there was a doubled C in Ab/C (which you wouldn't want in a voicing).

    Minor triads over bass notes harmonic analysis assuming a tonic perspective; C-(add9) C#-/C = C7b9b13 D-/C = C13sus Eb-/C = C-7b5 E-/C = Cmaj7 F-/C = Csusb13 F#-/C = C13b9#11 G-/C = C9 (no 3) G#-/C = C-maj+ A-/C = C6 (no 5) Bb-/C = C7susb9 B-/C = Cmaj7#11 (no 3)

    Absolutely! This really helps me understand how pianists are thinking. Often times they will place triads on top of a shell voicing (13b7) and the sounding result is sonic magic!

    Cool - yes every key you put it in will give you unique challenges. There are a lot of cool idiosyncratic things that you can do on the saxophone especially in the keys of Bb, B and C# 😎

    Hey! for solo playing this is the quickest way to outline a tonality and change the color of what you're playing. It will also give you a thorough understanding of 'slash' chords and how they relate to traditional harmony or harmony the way it is taught in school. A breakdown could look like this: C = C2 B/C = Cº∆7 Bb/C = C7Sus A/C = C13b9 Ab/C = C-7b6 G/C = C∆9 F#/C = C13b9#11 F/C = C∆11 E/C = C∆7#5 Eb/C = C-7 D/C = C7#11 Db/C = Cø7 If you can play through the exercise from memory, over time all of this information will start to make more sense and become a device that you can apply to your improvisations to emote in a more specific way :)

    This seems like a great ear training exercise too! And easily could be extended to minor or diminished triads

  • @SaxophoneSteveKortyka

    @SaxophoneSteveKortyka

    Yes indeed! It has helped me make sense of a lot of the 'upper extension' triads that exist on dominant chords with alterations :)
