Triad Soloing for Modern Guitar (Book)

Whether you’re navigating fast-moving changes or stretching out over a modal vamp, triads give you melodic control, rhythmic clarity, and access to colourful upper extensions without relying on scale patterns. You’ll develop a sophisticated, intervallic approach that lets you target chord tones, build strong motifs, and create solos with real harmonic direction. Inside the book, you’ll learn to: Play major, minor, augmented and diminished triads across the entire guitar fretboard Use triad patterns for intervallic phrasing and motivic development that cuts through the harmony Apply chromatic enclosures to target chord tones and upper structures with precision and authentic bebop styling Combine triad pairs (inside and outside the key) to create cutting-edge harmonic tension and release Craft lyrical, modern lines using add9 triads and four-note melodic cells in the style of Allan Holdsworth, Wayne Krantz, Eric Johnson, and Jonathan Kreisberg Each concept is taught using practical examples and reinforced with detailed, musical solo studies. Not only will you learn to combine triads with arpeggios, pentatonics, bends, and chromaticism in a musical way, you’ll also master guitar solos written over familiar progressions ranging from bebop standards to modal grooves and fusion sequences.

When you’ve completed the course you’ll be able to:

Outline chords melodically in real time
Solo fluently across changes using triads
