Hello all. Today I'm revisiting triads. In this video I attempt to go beyond the basics and talk about how you might musically use triads in a I IV V chord situation. This is a great skill to master that will help come up with interesting rhythm parts, and give you a useful framework for chord tone soloing. Here's the link -

Below you can find the triad shapes tabbed out, and also some fretboard diagrams -  essentially 2 different ways of presenting the same information. I will also upload the backing track in my next post.

Hope you find this one interesting and helpful!

Speak next week,

Adrian

Love it! Triads are baby scales, lol

Christian Jörg

Thank you so much! Straight forward! A real benefit, because the I IV V is so useful! Maybe you could come up with another lesson someday, like II V I.

Christian Jörg

I think in the Major-I IV-V-Triads.pdf in bar 6 the first triad is the D and the second triad is the G... not as printed...

Thanks Christian. Yes, a jazz triads lesson where I look at how to apply them to II V Is could be interesting - will give it some thought.

Thank you Adrian

Yonathan Mizrachi

Please please the same for minor blues.... and for Jazz ii, V, I. This lesson has been one of the most helpful I took in the past year (even relative to the TrueFire and Jamplay classes that I take). Can wait for the next progressions. I you can to 5-7 common chord progression following the same concept. Thank you so much for this!!!

Thank-you Yonathan - very pleased to hear you found this helpful. This has proven to be quite a popular lesson so I'll certainly be doing more. I think a minor I IV V video will be the logical thing do do next. And then perhaps some jazz II V I or I VI II V progressions or, as you say, a selection of common chord progressions.

Game changer - been working on my traid major shapes since March - used this to 'work out' the minor shapes. Keep coming back to this one. Instantly applicable to any songs

Hello @Adrian - I've been working on the major triad shapes the last couple of weeks, I think the lesson is invaluable. However - I'm looking for the notation for the exercises - both the rhythm and lead part - are these available? For the rhythm part, you play on the off beats, this is a bit challenging. I'm also trying to understand if there is a method behind the arpeggiating - which strings/notes are you picking, and why? Thanks.

Hi Monish. Yes, it looks like for this lesson I didn't transcribe all of the examples in the video note for note. The best thing for you to do would be to work on improvising your own ideas based on the kind of things I play. There's not a particular method to it really. All the notes in the triad will sound strong so it's more a question of coming up with melodies and phrases that you like the sound of. Hope that helps.
