In this tutorial we're going to explore the next level of using triads in your Country soloing. Just like it's the case with many of the other topics we cover there's virtually no end to how advanced you can get with a topic like this. So this will just be another step on your long, but exciting journey towards becoming a ripping country guitar player. And to make the deal even sweeter, understanding how to use triads in your soloing will benefit you in any style of music that you want to play down the road.

In this tutorial we will use a backing track to systematically practice minor triads and their various inversion shapes on the G, B & E strings. Among the goals of this tutorial are integrate the theory of chord voicings and voicing motion with practicing and visualizing the specific shapes of triad chord inversions.

Anders shows how basic triads can be used a basic introduction to playing solos and lead parts in a Country context.

When you play a full barre chord there are actually many more notes than you really need. In this tutorial we'll look at how to strip down your full barre-chords to smaller versions of each chord known as "triads" and how you can use those in your electric country rhythm playing.

In music theory the word triad refers to a group of three specific notes from a scale that form a chord. There are four basic types of triads in music. In this tutorial series we will take an introductory look at how to play all of them. Then we'll mix & match them in some musical examples.

In this tutorial, I'm going to introduce you to the world of triads, inversions, arpeggios, and chord extensions. We'll take a very thorough, step-by-step approach working with all these concepts- breaking down how they relate to one another. Having an understanding of all these musical ideas is fundamental to the instrument and can work to make you a better lead and rhythm player. These lessons are in-depth, so work through them slowly and see how you can work them into your own musical world. Enjoy!

In this section of Rock Guitar Level 2, we will focus on the concept of Major Triads and their inversions. A triad is a chord using 3 notes to create one overall sound. In many of the major chords you have previously learned from Guitar Tricks, their already exists triads in your musical vocabulary. Each chord we reference will have three major triads, and each of these triads is called an inversion. While each example in the lessons will have different shapes, each of them still remains the same chord. We will use the triads you already know, demonstrating their inversions from a D major chord, an A major chord, and an E major chord. We will take each lesson using string groups of three, and will follow each explanation with an example of those triads use in the rock guitar world.

We are going to shift our attention to the concept of minor chords and their inversions. Again, a triad is a chord using 3 notes to create one overall sound. Now matter what the shape, these chords all include the same notes and will create the same quality of sound. Shifting from major to minor, the only difference between minor triads and the major triads we learned in Chapter 1 is the lowering of one note, a half step (or one fret down the neck of the guitar.) We will again use triads you are already playing in the chords D minor, A minor, and E minor, also using the string grouping concept. Following each demonstration will be more examples of triads used in a rock guitar style.
