In this third class, we will explore 7th no 5th triads. This structure is simply a 7th chord with its 5th removed and is often referred to as a “shell voicing.” However, in this class we will be treating these “shell voicings” like three-note triads, which means finding all the inversions, registers, and string sets. This will yield many more uses than just the traditional shell voicing concept provides. 7th no 5th triads can have a more traditional, tonal sound than sus triads but when used imaginatively can also create fresh new sounds.

Diatonic Triads Complete part 3: 7th no 5th covers:

  • explanation of 7th no 5th chords and their use as traditional shell voicings

  • arpeggiating 7th no 5th triads to create melodic ideas
