Regarding EP199, I understand a chord is comprised of the 1,3 & 5 notes. So when playing the triads as Brian is doing, are each one of the notes being fretted for any given shape for any chord? Hope the question makes sense.

Ron,
If I understand your question, yes, every triad Brian shows contains a root, a third and a fifth. They are not always in the same order. Some of the triad shapes are inversions with the fifth or third as the lowest note. They can be thought of as smaller pieces of the A shaped, E shaped, D shaped and C shaped chords of the CAGED system.

Ron, if you type in the search (triad) it will take you to EP 093 .. TRIADS are played individually or as a chord .. you should also learn basic chord structure and their arpeggios ( the notes in a scale that builds the chord.. triads are just three notes off the scale that builds the chord and learn how to use them diatonically up the fret board, play double stops 3rds 4ths 5 ths 6 ths, sure Brian explains this in lots of his lessons.Just take it slow

Hello Ron,
I made these two charts when I was going through EP199. They helped me see the shapes as well as the notes. I’m not sure they will answer your question but maybe they will help.

Thanks to all who replied. Yes that is what I was asking. I’ve learned the triads on the top three strings and figured it was the same method on all strings. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything as Brian didn’t specifically address that. And I didn’t take the time to check each position. My problem now is simply learning where the notes are on any given string.
Again, thanks for all replies!!

There are three close voicings for triad. They either go third, third: or third, fourth; or fourth, third. That’s the root, first inversion, and second inversion. Or root in bass, third in bass, fifth in bass.
Knowing those are the intervals, you should be able to build any of these triads from any string.
