Triad Studies for Perfect Fourths Guitar Tuning Volume 3 of 3

The third book in this series provides a detailed study of spread triads, inversions and arpeggios. It focuses on the Major, Minor, Augmented and Diminished triads.

You'll better appreciate what is possible by looking at triads from multiple perspectives. As you learn the triads in different shapes, your muscle memory will begin to take over, and you can combine the shapes in various groupings to achieve different effects.

The more ways you can play a triad, the more ways you can express yourself.

Many of the diagrams in this book are similar: it is only four chords! This book explores the relationships between the arpeggios and inversions in different contexts. Each page shows a particular relationship between the chord tones and a shape on the fingerboard.

You can open the book to any page to work on it or work from beginning to end.
