Triad Arpeggios Lesson

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!
