So you may or may not have listened to the track already.
In this section we're going to be breaking it down.
We're going to be using all of the different forms we've looked at but we are not going to be sticking to the key of G.
We're going to be utilizing the whole neck and applying these in a musical sense.
Starting with this triad form which is a second inversion form, it's got your fifth in the base.
Fifth, one, three and this is a D major triad.
This is played on the seventh fret with your first finger barring strings four, three and two.
Next we are going to go to a first inversion G chord.
G triad which we learned before.
First inversion means we've got our third in the base remember.
So going back and forth between these two is going to sound like this and you're essentially switching chords from D to G.
Next we are going to be working on a regular A triad down here which is our G triad that we learned before simply moved up two frets.
That's the cool thing about these triad shapes is they are completely movable.
If you need to play a chord in a different place and be a little more creative with your electric guitar playing
simply figure out where the triads are and build your progression around those.
So the track starts off like this.
You're playing a D chord, second inversion triad, to a G, to an A and back to a D.
Then the track is going to move to the key of G and we're going to start on this second inversion G triad which we've already learned.
Then we're going to move to a first inversion C triad which if you remember this shape from earlier
we were working on this down here on G.
This is a C triad this is the third in the base.
Then we're going to be going to a regular D triad.
This shape as you recall from up here on our G moved down to fifth fret where your first finger is going to be.
We've got our second finger seventh fret, third finger seventh fret, first finger fifth fret on strings three, two and one.
That progression is going to look like and sound like this.
That's going to go back and forth with these other triads that we worked on just a bit ago.
Do that a few times and then move to…
or fingering it that way depending on how you'd like to do it.
That's the first half of the track.
All focused around the major triads gives you a chance first to strum one triad at a time and then it gets you into a little bit of a rhythm.
Feel free to strum however you would like to and practice switching however you would like to.
The track merely suggests a couple different ways of creatively applying them.
At mid track point we switch to all minors. So we go over the minor positions.
Now you may find yourself having to stop the track mid track, back it up, rewind it a little bit and prepare yourself to tackle the minor ones.
If you don't have to do that cool but don't feel bad if you have to because it's a little bit of an abrupt shift.
Basically we are taking the same positions and the same triads and we're just playing them all minor.
So we started with this D major triad. That's going to be a D minor triad now.
If you'll remember this is a second inversion triad so our third is on the top dropping that one fret.
The next one we did was a G major triad, first inversion which means our third is in the base so we drop that one fret and we've got that.
Our progression is going to go from here to here.
Next. We were playing this triad which is a regular A triad and we're just going to lower the third which is in the middle
one fret and then to do that we'll bar here because it makes a little more sense.
Again, this is going to look like this.
So if we make the first, second and third string position triads all minor that is going to be the rest of this track.
We start here on the seventh fret G string, eighth fret B string and sixth fret E string or first string.
Again, this is that D minor form looking triad with your fifth in the base.
We were here. Now we're here.
Then our next triad shape is going to look like this so you're barring first finger all on the eighth fret.
Then the final position where you've got seventh fret third string, sixth fret second string and fifth fret first string.
There was your major shape because it's a regular triad we are moving this a half step down and we've got our minor.
That progression is going to sound like this.
So we've outlined all of those different chords and I'm going to go ahead in the next session and play along to the track.
Feel free to play along if you can and if you want to or simply watch how it's executed and work up to it in your own practice.
