The top players you know today have invested time, talent, and treasure into learning several techniques and I&#8217;ll be showing you one of those important techniques (backtracking) in this lesson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you invest the next 15 minutes or so in this blog, you&#8217;ll have the five levels of backtracking within your grasp.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quick Review On The Backtracking Concept<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s practically proven by experts that the strongest chord progressions in tonal music descend in fifth intervals.

For example, you can backtrack the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by going counter-clockwise (or retracing your steps in the musical clock):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"circleoffiths1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9643\" height=\"320\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;from C (at the 12 o&#8217;clock position) to F (at the 11 o&#8217;clock position.)<\/p>\n<p>To backtrack the C major triad you&#8217;ll have to play an F major triad (over C on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,F,A,C,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;before the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Check Out Another Example&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The E major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,Gs,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be backtracked by going counter-clockwise (or retracing your steps in the musical clock):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"circleoffiths1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9643\" height=\"320\" width=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;from E (at the 4 o&#8217;clock position) to A (at the 3 o&#8217;clock position.)<\/p>\n<p>To backtrack the E major triad you&#8217;ll have to play an A major triad (over E on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,A,Cs,E,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;before the E major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,Gs,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Levels Of Backtracking<\/h2>\n<p>There are five levels of backtracking and we&#8217;ll be exploring them in this segment.<\/p>\n<h3>First Level Of Backtracking<\/h3>\n<p>In the first level of backtracking, we&#8217;re going down counter-clockwise by a step in the musical clock. For example, the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be backtracked to the F major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,F,A,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;at the first level of backtracking.<\/p>\n<p>The D major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,D,Fs,A,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be backtracked to the G\u00a0 major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,D,G,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;at the first level of backtracking.<\/p>\n<h3>Second Level Of Backtracking<\/h3>\n<p>In the second level of backtracking, we&#8217;re basically going down by two steps in the musical clock. For example, a second level backtracking of the C major triad can be played thus:<\/p>\n<p>Bb major triad (over C on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,D,F,Bb,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>F major triad (over C on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,F,A,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>C major triad (over C on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe reason for the introduction of the Bb major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Bb,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is because in the musical clock:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"circleoffiths1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9643\" height=\"320\" width=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;Bb is two steps from C in the counter-clockwise direction.<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, any major triad can undergo the second level of backtracking be going counter-clockwise by two steps in the musical clock. For example, at the second level of backtracking, the E major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,Gs,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;would progress to the D major triad (over E on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,Fs,A,D,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA major triad (over E on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,A,Cs,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE major triad (over E on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,Gs,B,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nFollowing the same procedure, any major triad can also undergo the second level of backtracking.<\/p>\n<h3>Third Level Of Backtracking<\/h3>\n<p>At the third level of backtracking, we&#8217;re going counter-clockwise in the music clock:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"circleoffiths1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9643\" height=\"320\" width=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by three steps. For example, three sectors before Eb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(at the 9 o&#8217;clock position) is Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(which is at the 6 o&#8217;clock position.)<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, at the third level of backtracking, the Gb major triad is played (over Eb on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,,Gb,Bb,Db,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;before progressing to the Db major triad (played over Eb on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,,F,Ab,Db,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;before progressing to the Ab major triad (played over Eb on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,,Eb,Ab,C,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;before it gets back to the Eb major triad (played over Eb on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,,Eb,G,Bb,,&amp;color=00CCCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Backtracking a triad creates an anticipation for it, and there are five levels of backtracking and they can be applied either in songs or as chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in mastering the backtracking concept, then it is recommended that you go ahead and practice the various levels of backtracking that we&#8217;ve covered in this lesson and do your best to apply it on any given major triad on the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time, and see you in another lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re interested in exploring all the five levels of backtracking, then this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":22682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,416,21,9],"tags":[2353,17],"class_list":["post-15615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chords-progressions","category-experienced-players","category-gospel-music","category-piano","tag-backtracking","tag-basic-songs","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
