Hope this is useful for reference...please make corrections and additions...i collected this from many sources.





Dyads are 2 notes of a chord. The middle note determines a major/minor chord, so if its (M/m) it means it's the 1st and 3rd note of the chord, so it can pass for major or minor. A voicing is the notes of the chord with some notes being doubled higher or lower. Inversions are the 3 notes of the chord (such as CEG) in different orders (EGC or GCE).

I think a lot of intermediate players want to fatten up their sound, and this is one topic i haven't heard much about. In a solo it's often a matter of playing your single notes and knowing when you can fatten it up with a full chord, or partial chord (adding holes left/right) without sounding sour. Or playing harmony/chords and not knowing where the notes are, argh! Hope these charts help even though in reality its much more rooted in practice.

Unfortunately the lip/tongue block debate does little to help players figure out where they can fatten up their sound.

Good work. I'm saving it to disk for future reference and lessons.

BTW, what you call dyads are usually known as either double stops or chord partials. Consider expanding this for bends and overblow notes as well.
