Welcome to the "Major and Minor Triads" theory lesson. This is third lesson in a new series introducing music theory. Here we look at building the most fundamental chords, the major and minor triads. We discuss how to build the chords using scale degrees.
Tone-wise I am using the neck pickup on my Tele. I am using a simulated Fender-style amp with a little spring to get a basic clean-ish tone.
Concepts covered:
Scale Degrees
Spelling the Major Triad
Spelling the Minor triad
Play-along with common triad chord shapes featuring Major and Minor examples
Gear: Tele(neck pickup)>Tascam 4X4HR>Pro Tools>AmpliTube 5(American Amp 1)
