Happy Monday everyone. Today a useful exercise involving playing triads in position. Along with the technique benefits of this exercise it also provides a good way to improve your theoretical and fretboard knowledge. Tab can be found below. Have fun and see you tomorrow.

This is great! Very similar to an exercise I do normally, so I feel off the hook for practising much today! Haha

Charles Cluck

I'm up a half hour early every day to get a crack at these exercises before my regular day begins - its been worth it every time.

NB

Still with you and loving it Adrian!! This is one I’ve got pretty good at descending but the ascending is still pretty rough. How much do you consciously think of the intervals as you progress or is it more muscle memory over time (or something else)?

Fin

Hi, this is a familiar one. It has been more of a finger exercise though - just shapes. I like how you recommend we think of them as chord intervals. I really couldn’t pick off the diminished interval in D if you asked me to – though I’ve done this particular exercise in all keys – without stopping to think it through. If you were wanting to solo over a jazz progression, you’d probably want to have all that down.

I’ve been working through some pretty repetitive drills in my regular practice, so having these daily exercises to mix things up has been great.

Paul Altomare

Love these lessons. Any chance you could do one with your suggestions for a daily or weekly practice routine? I never know if I devote one day to scales, another to memorizing the fretboard another to learning a song...or combine a bit of it all each day I sit down to practice.....thanks,

Dion Lay

Ah, seconded! It's so hard to decide what to practice!

Peter Healy

Day 12 and as you said Adrian, this helps connect Technique and Theory. I can use this to broaden my Lead playing. Cheers Pete

Duncan Worrall

Great series so far, Thanks Adrian I was looking at adding something like this to my warm up routine - could you do a minor version for one of the days?

HagRunDan

Thanks for carrying on!

this one was challenging for me. I found that just playing the triad going up (and omitting the backwards note) allowed me to learn the shapes first. then I can have it in my fingers and just add the step back. another great lesson, Adrian. I really feel like you're gonna turn up the difficulty level the next two weeks :)

Another great exercise. I’m trying to say all the notes out loud doing the triads. To help with fretboard memorizing. It really forces me to slow down.

I really like this one. With a lot of work it will make the chord tones automatic for every chord in the key. Of course, all five scale shapes, then minor ;-)
