I'm not 100% sure I am on the same page when it comes to "triad soloing options".
I understand that a major triad is the major chord for that scale.
The 1-3-5
In A maj the scale = A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#
So the Amaj triad = A, C#, E
And in looking at our very first handout I see that the 4 major triad shapes in the key of A are:
-0- --- --- ---
-2- -2- --- ---
-2- -2- -2- ---
--- -2- -2- -2- These are labeled "1st position"
--- --- -4- -4-
--- --- --- -5-
The A maj scale here would be this: (it could be others but this works too)
---------2------4---5--
---------2---3------5--
-----1--2------4-------
--0-----2------4-------
--0-----2------4-------
------------------------
So when soloing in Amaj in this area of the neck, the triad notes would be your good "Hang Notes". And the entire scale is your playground of notes to use. I understand that much.
Correct?
What I don't quite follow is the definition of "Triad soloing options"
To me we are soloing in Amaj. Period. We're not soloing in the triad/ We're soloing in the scale. The triad notes are just the main ones of the Amaj scale. Knowing the triad shape is useful so we know where to land and hang, but I don't see it as
"soloing with the Amaj triad in the 1st position." If that were the case we'd be concentrating on 3 notes instead of 7.
Do you see what I'm saying?
What do you mean by
"Triad Soloing Options"?Also, I dont know what this means.

I also find it confusing that the "positions" used for the scales dont line up with the triads.
For example:
Look at the A Ionian scale starting at the 5th fret. (on our handout)
The one starting on 5th fret, 6th string, and ending on 12th fret of the 1st string. That is labeled 1st position.
There are 3 triads represented in there. 2 from the 2nd position major triad list and 1 from the 3rd position major triad list.
That confuses me. When I'm learning 1st position triads, I'd expect them to be the same as the 1st position scale. This makes understanding this difficult for me.
