Pat was a bonafide genius. The guitar community benefits tremendously from his insight. I was fortunate to take a couple lessons with him and engage in conversation. He was a complete gentleman and a deep soul.

I’m going to post what I have come to understand of this, for my fellow investigators of the instrument.
There are 2 “parental forms” which can be used to find inversions of other chords: the Augmented triad (3 notes, 1-3-#5, which produces inversions of itself every 4 frets; think 3x4=12, triangles) and the fully Diminished 7th chord (4 notes, 1-3-b5-bb7, which produces inversions of itself every 3 frets, think 4x3=12, perfect squares).
- That Augmented chord produces 3 major triads if you lower one note of the parental form. So C-E-G# “parents” C-E-G, E-G#-B, and G#-C(B#),D#(Eb)- Martino calls G#, Ab, so Ab-C-Eb.
- If you now take the same C-E-G# parental form, and now raise just one note, you “parent” these 3 minor triads:
C#-E-G#, F-Ab-C, Ab-C-Eb.
So one Augmented “triangle” produces 3 minor triads and 3 major triads. It does this all over the neck.
- Now onto the 4-note fully Diminished 7th chord “parental form”. The formula is 1-b3-b5-bb7. If you RAISE just one note, you produce a Half-Diminished 7th chord (1-b3-b5-b7) and if you LOWER just one note, you’ll produce a Dominant 7th chord (1-3-5-b7).
So say Gb-C-Eb-A is your “parental form” played on frets 4/5 of the top 4 strings. That form is now repeated every 3 frets, so now think 4x3=12.
From that Fully-Diminished 7th chord parent, you can find 4 Half-Diminished chords and 4 Dominant 7th chords.
So the Augmented triad “parents” 6 “kids”: 3 major triads and 3 minor triads, just by raising or lowering one note.
The Fully-Diminished 7th chord “parents” 8 “kids”: 4 Half-Diminished 7th chords and 4 Dominant 7th chords.
- That’s just an intro to his very intelligent and interesting way of unlocking the fretboard.
Pat Martino was a giant, a genius!

Thank you for posting. I am starting to get it. Interesting that it took Pat 27 years to re-learn this. So i don't feel too bad that it has taken me 30 year to start to understand.
