In this second Jazz Notes lesson we will take a look at some basic triads and their inversions. Triads are just about the simplest type of chord you can get.

An introduction to building inverted chords.

Learn how to improvise using triad approach!

Triad Arpeggios played with sweep picking in the key of A minor.

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.

The 7th chord is basically like a normal chord (root, third, fifth), but with the 7th note added. They are mainly used in jazz, but other musical genres can also get a nice flavor adding them in song progressions here and there.

Not only is the chord played in a different position, but the note order is changed around. This results in different sounds from the chords as different notes are emphasized. It's also used in soloing, but that's at a later stage and is somewhat 'Jazzy' in approach.

Two different tapping sequences, arpeggio shapes across five and six strings, and alot of legato technique.
