Triads

Sun, 06/11/2006 - 7:39am — BoH

Abstract:
A look at major and minor triads. It is good to memorize these and keep them for "go to" licks just in case you have to improvise.
Keep in mind that these patterns are pretty much universal. They can be moved around from position to position.
Remember also that a triad is three notes that make up a chord. Usually, a triad is made up of the first, third, and fifth tone of the scale.
