Chords for Triadic Soloing by Larry Carlton

_ So Terry, if you'll play D minor 7, I'll play the bracketed red colored ones.
D minor, A
minor, and E minor.
_ D minor please, Terry. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, [C] that's our basic sound for the [F#] first

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _

_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
