Hi Am’ers,
This a visual overview in finding the connection of these 12 Must Have Triads on the fretboard using the A, C and E Shapes. Just knowing how Triads can be unpacked into digestible parts can make make it easier to connect the dots when you know what you have to play with.
In Summary:
These triads can be divided up into 6 Major Triads and 6 Minor Triads.
The Major Triads consist of: 2 x A Shape – 2 x C Shape – 2 x E Shape.
The Minor Triads consist of: 2 x Am Shape – 2 x Cm Shape – 2 x Em Shape.The video will demonstrate how these triads fit into these 3 shapes from CAGED, and also their respective scales. It will also cover how this effects the overlap when using the D and C Shape scales and the A and G Shape scales when using the A-C-E shape triads.
Also attached are two PDF’s complementary to the lesson and for further use.

Excellent lesson Laurel…thanks very much.

I totally understand that diagram, but boy was it confusing when I first saw it. Brian talks about five basic patterns, not 10 as shown in the diagram. I get it, but it would be much better if it was explained that the pattern that root notes makes alone is the real underlying connecting structural pattern and CAGED pattern #2 maj pentatonic fits over CAGED pattern #1 minor pentatonic perfectly over that underlying structure. I don’t think I ever saw Brian describe it the way it’s shown in that diagram in any of his lessons. Maybe I missed it. I have seen many other guitar teachers teach it that way though.

The whole idea of an upper and lower triad in relation to the ACE positions really helped me to simplify this practice. Thanks for leaving this here. I also just watched EP485 and I will be adding these exercises into my daily practice routine.
If you can, try an learn exactly where the 1 3 5 notes are for major and 1 b3 5 for minor triads. There are names for each version of triad depending on which of the three notes is lowest in pitch. The root form triad is with the root as the lowest pitched note, the 1st inversion is with the 3rd in the low position and root as the highest pitched note. Finally the 2nd inversion has the 5th as the lowest note and 3rd as the highest. This becomes more important later on, but why not learn it now while studying triads. Both triad lessons EP485 and EP486 are really good to absorb fully so good luck on your quest.

I do know about the triads and inversions but was having a hard time with pulling them up fast enough to be useful. The act of seeing them as a part of the chord shapes has given me a good sense of where they are and what shape of triads to use. I have been working on memorizing the different shapes and was having some trouble. Now I have a visual cue to help and I appreciate the connection this video has given me.
