Major, minor, diminished and augmented.. all applied to a handful of different progressions. From dark, deep, ambient Americana style triads on the bottom string set, to choppy, soulful Hendrix style riffs over “Hey Joe”. It’s important to put these things to work right out of the gate if you really want them to stick, and with these exercises and my exhaustive lesson materials you’ll have a life-long resource to revisit time and time again. So whether you’re looking to improve your ability to play over chord changes, or just need to brush up on your fretboard fluency.. this is the lesson for you. The materials that accompany this one are truly vast. Not only containing my “Triads Survival Guide” but also every single example and progression neatly typed up in TAB and notation, in guitar pro and PDF formats! I’ve also included my backing track for the “Low Triads Americana style” exercise! Truly a lifetime’s worth of reference materials for no more than the cost of a coffee!.. check the links in the description to get hold of it all! ⏱️Time Stamps ⏱️ 00:00 - Intro 00:43 - Mapping out the string sets 01:02 - String Set #1 01:35 - String Set #2 01:58 - String Set #3 02:13 - String Set #4 02:25 - Lesson Materials! 02:50 - Exercise #1 03:44 - Triad Stacks 05:20 - The Four Triad Qualities 05:43 - Minor triads 06:05 - Diminished triads 06:55 - Augmented triads 07:43 - Exercise #2 - Cycle of Fourths 10:11 - “Sleepwalk” exercise 12:49 - Bringing in the diminished! 15:08 - Augmented application exercise 16:20 - Country Blues progression using all four triad types! 17:07 - Low Triads - Americana style exercise 19:00 - Triad based phrases and transposition 21:42 - “Hey Joe” application 22:47 - Sign-off!
