Using Major Triad Arpeggios - Plus One for Creating Melodic Solos.
With chord tones, the notes of a chord playing a predominant role in writing melodies and in improvised melodies. The triad plus one additional note is a great melodic device for creating melodies - either written or improvised.
A triad contains three notes.
For a major triad these notes are the first, third and fifth (1 3 5) of it's corresponding major scale with the same root.
For C major the notes are C E G. Our added note can be any diatonic ( part of the C major scale ) or chromatic note ( not part of the C Major scale ).
One of the first notes to add that sounds great with a major triad is the second of the scale. In the case of C major that's D for C D E G.
There are 24 possible ways to play the four notes: C D E G.
NOTE: A Major Triad Plus One, the second of the scale the chord is based on is the same first four notes of the Major Pentatonic scale based on the chord's root.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee
