Hi Everyone,

In this 7th installment of lessons, I'm going to help you get acquainted with Diminished and Augmented triads. In this overview lesson, I'll talk a little bit about HOW to make these chords and how they fit on the guitar. In the next set of homework lessons, I'll hone in on the main concepts to help the ideas get stuck in your head, and then we'll end with a nice play-along practice track.

Here are the homework and practice sections for this lesson:

Hello Scott, There seems to be an error in the pdf attached to this page. On the very bottom there is an overview of the D triads. The most right one says 'D Aug Triad', but I believe it should be a 'D Dim Triad'.
