		Hi GMC! Today we will talk about triads and inversions. Check video #1 to read and listen the theory about this lesson. 



Main video can be a little enigmatic/boring to hear :D So, be patient while you're learning because if you learn well all the triad shapes, your knowledge of the fretboard will improve a lot.



I made a Jam backing track at 100 bpm. The structure here is



1 bar for D triad - 1 bar for Dm triad - 1 bar for Dm/5- triad - 1 bar for Daug triad

1 bar for E triad - 1 bar for Em triad - 1 bar for Em/5- triad - 1 bar for Eaug triad

1 bar for F# triad - 1 bar for F#m triad - 1 bar for F#m/5- triad - 1 bar for F#aug triad



and so on, raising the root note - a whole step - after four bars. With this backing you can play triads in different keys, using different shapes from your choice.
