Triads are the building blocks of chords and an essential part of understanding harmony on the guitar.

By learning major scale triads, you'll improve your fretboard knowledge, enhance your improvisation skills, and develop a deeper understanding of chord construction.

In this lesson, we’ll break down:

What are the three types of triads found in the major scale.

How to play them across the fretboard on four string sets.

This lesson provides a transcription of The Chicken theme, a clever mix of funky chords and licks by Biréli Lagrène in the album Broadway Blues.

Coltrane changes are fun to play on. 

If you're intimidated by Giant Steps, it could simply be the tempo of the tune. 

Just because Trane's version is fast doesn't mean you can't enjoy using the changes at slower tempos, in smaller increments, and on generally easier tunes.  

In this guitar lesson with free PDF and YouTube short we’ll learn how to turn a dominant 7th chord into a diminished 7th chord.

Here’s a breakdown of seventh arpeggios and their related chords based on the major scale for guitar.

An arpeggio is essentially the notes of a chord played individually.

Seventh arpeggios add a fourth note (the seventh) to each triad, giving a more complex and richer sound.

In this guitar lesson, we'll be focusing on the arpeggios of the seventh chords derived from the G major scale.

You'll find the free PDF (or name a fair price) here in the GUMROAD Store.

Harmonizing the major scale using 3-note chords, also known as shell voicings, is a fundamental technique used in jazz and contemporary music.
