Monday Morning Practice with Triads (Key of A major)
Lesson #515 • Sep 11, 2023
This past weekend I was practicing major triads all over the fretboard, and wanted to show you a glimpse of what that looks like! I’m playing over a single-chord backing track (A major chord), which is available below. I’m also sharing my in-progress PDF cheat sheets from my upcoming triads course, which you can use if you want to start getting your feet with with this topic.
This video is a bit different than my usual tutorials. I’m trying something a bit less polished, a lot less edited, and much more impromptu. I’ll be back soon enough with my usual style of lesson but tossing this into the ring in the meantime. Enjoy!
