I was watching B13 Following Chords with Triads and I thought of a possible way to use triads. So, I play a really basic chord sequence - a 1, 4, 5 into the looper (vary the chords for variety) then play the corresponding triads at the changes. Experiment horizontally and vertically, sometimes all root positions, sometimes all first inversions, etc. Whatever combinations. It forces me to not only hear the chord and change to the triad that goes with it, but also the relationships of the various triads to each other - the same way the basic chords relate. I haven’t worked on minor triads enough yet to do it, but B13 got me thinking about that too. I’m not sure I explained that very well, but you can really move all over the fretboard.
Best,
John
Thank you John for sharing this! Triads are so important.
You can use triads to follow chord progression. Simple chord progression wih slow tempo.
Yes, after you feel comfortabe with all inversions then you can try learning minor triads.
