Welcome to this triad study!

What are triads? Triads are arpeggios made out of three notes: the root, 3rd and 5th.
In this lesson, we'll develop some ideas using the triads found in the A Major scale.
To do that we'll take the notes of that scale and construct triads on each tone of that scale.

That gives us the following 7 triads to work with:

A Major
B min
C# min
D Maj
E Maj
F# min
G# min b5

Memorize the following triad shapes that I suggest and then work your way through the examples.
Triads are fun and very helpful to create melodic leads.

Oh, one last thing, I threw in there a more complex arpeggio on the first lick. Instead of playing a D Major triad, I extended that arpeggio to 4 notes adding the 7th. That's the only exception...

Have fun!
