Hi All, I have a couple of more charts to share. This one is the Triads Diagram. I didn’t fill in the notes this time because the triads have a root note and as you move up and down the neck you need to know the root note to make the triad effective for you. I pulled this information from somewhere and put it together in one document to make it easier to learn the triads.
I hope you enjoy…

Awesome! I haven’t learned triads yet and this is surely going to be a great help.

Nice, my thanks. I’m always seeking the root as I get higher, need to memorize them and this will help.

Maybe the following will help…
1. When the triad is in root position, the root is the lowest note; for example (C, E, G)
The two other notes form the following intervals w.r.t. the lowest note: (3, 5)2. When he triad is in first inversion, the root is the upper note; for example (E, G, C)
The two other notes form the following intervals w.r.t. the lowest note: (b3, 6).
In figured bass notation this is written with a superscript 6/3 or simply superscript 6.3. When he triad is in second inversion, the root is the middle note; for example (G, C, E)
The two other notes form the following intervals w.r.t. the lowest note: (4, 6).
In figured bass notation this is written with a superscript 6/4So, if you remember these easy formulas (bass, 3, 5), (bass, b3, 6) and (bass, 4, 6), and if you know how to play intervals on a guitar fretboard, you’ll never be seeking the root anymore…

Ken G…Glad you like it. I use triads a lot. When Brian explains some of the use of bar chords and picking certain parts of the bar chord I see the triad shape and it makes his explanation easier to understand.

These are awesome Larry! Learning my triads, and especially/specifically where the root lives, was a plateau buster for me. I highly recommend this to any player and this is a fantastic resource 👍

Hi Alan, Thanks for the feedback. I found these charts somewhere on the internet when I first started learning triads.
Triads are my favorite chords to play. They are easy and fast once you get the root down. I mix between shapes when I play them and also do arpeggios and then hammer-ons while playing them. You can make up some pretty awesome tunes even without a backing track.
Let me know how you make out once you’ve used them for a while.
Mr. Larry
