Guitar Soloing Using Triads

Filed under: Guitar Tips — Tags: — David Poole @ 7:27 pm

This lesson is in the key of D. However the lick below is in the key of C. Therefore I will give you a progression that you can put down and experiment with using these triads. One good progression would be to vamp, or strum, on D minor. Another approach would be to go form a D minor chord to a G chord with D in the bass to a C chord with D in the bass. This will create D Dorian mode, which the triads will work over nicely

Note: Don’t forget that all of the notes in the phrase below are the same notes that are in a C minor scale, except for the G#. So think of this as your playing scale but just breaking it into pieces or into triads. The first three notes are an A minor triad, the next three notes are a G minor triad, the next three noter are a C major triad, after that is an F major triad, and now you can figure out the next triads. Every three notes is a new triad.
