Learn how to apply upper-structure triads to create melodic lines over II–V–I progressions, with practical examples and variations.
This lesson demonstrates step-by-step how to use upper-structure triads to target tensions on dominant chords and build improvisational lines over II–V–I progressions. You’ll see examples using the vi minor triad to target the 13, altered upper structures to target b13/b9, and practical exercises to transpose the lines through all keys. The lesson also covers octave displacement as a variation technique and suggests target notes for resolving to the I chord. A downloadable PDF with examples and practice suggestions is provided for members.
