Triads on Guitar: What's the Point???

There are a number of videos on triads on the guitar here already, but the thing that many videos miss out is that we need to do more than just memorize triad shapes on the guitar fretboard. When I teach guitar lessons here in Vancouver I always get my students to memorize how the triad chord shapes fit the Major Pentatonic scale shapes. Every chord has a scale that goes with it. This way we can combine chords and scales at the same time, add chords into our solos, or combine short licks when playing rhythm guitar.

In this lesson you'll learn how to play the three most common triad shapes on the guitar using a combination of the D, G and B strings. In our Patreon this week we will study how to quickly shift from the I chord to the IV chord using these same triad shapes, and connect to the Major Pentatonic scale of the IV chord too!

On our Patreon group we will have more licks for each shape in tabs, plus the jam track. Join our Patreon group at   / guitarlessonsvancouver
