From Mozart to Madness — quite literally — the triad family is the backbone of almost every piece of music you will ever play. In this lesson we take a close look at all four types of triad chords and arpeggios: major, minor, diminished and augmented.
Better still, we cover three different playing positions for each, so you can find every triad wherever your hand happens to be on the neck.
What you'll learn
- The four triad types and how each one is built
- Three fretboard shapes for every triad — no more one-position playing
- How triads and arpeggios turn chord charts into bass lines
This pairs perfectly with Triads: an Open and Closed Case, which explores open and closed voicings in depth.
