We look at how to play around the guitar neck fretboard using Triads and Inversions. Thes are generally ‘little’ chordsHere we learn and explore Pink Floyd’s wonderful ‘Money’. This is a riff-based song but it also stretches your rhythm chops as well providing a truly interesting to solo to master. It’s a great song to add into your repertoire.
Firstly some questions:
Triads are just three note chords. We all play particular fingerings of them when we strum our basic open chords. Inversions use the same note but the lowest sounding note isn’t the usual one. The ‘theory’ side of things is relatively straight-forward. Putting triads/inversions into practice requires knowing small chord shapes, some notes on the fretboard and some guidance as to how to knit them together.
Once cracked, you’ll be using them all of the time as part of your rhyhtm and lead playing. Move the same shapes around the fretboard to get a huge range of chords with different textures as well as frameworks for solos.
This is a big subject but we’ll keep it focused so that you walk away with some very practical things to start using immediately.
Beginner+ to intermediate acoustic and electric guitar players.
These sessions are layered to allow different player levels to learn and play along at the same time.
Whatever level you are at, you’ll have lots of takeaways to work on later.
You’ll receive any lesson PDF(s) just before the session and we’ll make a Zoom recording of the live lesson available to you afterwards.
The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.
The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs and video recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Live session and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
