Music Theory for Guitar | 05: Major Triads | Practice No. 2 (Patreon)

Hi Everyone!

This exercise is a free for all! This lesson gives a few ideas for how you might come up with your own sequence of A Major, D Major and E Major Triads. Remember, the goal here is not to make a masterpiece or even a finished painting. Think of this like a musical sketch book. Sit down with the supplied scratch paper and plot out your own sequences. Keep them simple. It’s probably a better goal to spend an hour trying out three easy sequences than to spend a day working on one difficult sequence. 

Download the attached cheat sheet showing all possible roots, thirds, and fifths for each Major Triad and the note name scratch paper.

Use these practice tracks:

50 BPM 

60 BPM 

70 BPM 

80 BPM 

90 BPM 

100 BPM 

110 BPM 

Enjoy your practice time and remember to have fun! If you're feeling accomplished, frustrated, stuck, or just want to talk about these exercises, feel free to post on the community forum post for this lesson.
