2 Line "Triad Pairs" - Ezequiel Ocampo

Hi, folks! This time I want to share with you some research on the concept 2 LINE, which lies in playing two lines at the same time. The first time I heard of this concept was thanks to the book “Contrapuntal Improvisation” by Juampy Juarez, who attributes its creation to Jimmy Wyble. My personal idea was to apply this on Triad Pairs, which turned out to be interesting sonorities using only two triads. In the following examples, we can see the C major triad and the D major triad combined.

If you’d like to have the files in Guitar Pro or you have any question regarding the lesson, you can send me an email to ezequielocampoclases@gmail.com

Enjoy it!

Minor Blues Scale over II-V-I - Ezequiel Ocampo

Pentatonic Scale + Chromatism - Ezequiel Ocampo

Hello. How are you?
Today I want to show you some useful ideas. They are going to help you complement your melodic vocabulary. You should play them with the hybrid picking technique.
EXAMPLE 1 Here, you can see a fragment of the Am pentatonic scale coloured with chromatisms. It is a seven-note pattern.
EXAMPLE 2 Here, we have the same pattern going up the pentatonic scale, from the sixth string to the first.
EXAMPLE 3 Now, we apply the pattern specified in the second example to the Bm pentatonic scale.
EXAMPLE 4 We have a combination of the Am/Bbm/Bm pentatonic scales. This way, we attain an inside/outside sonority.

NOTE: We can use these examples on Am7 or a II-V. As it is a seven-note pattern on semiquavers, the motive has a rhythmic displacement.
