Music Theory for Guitar | 06: Minor Triads | Practice 3
Added 2021-01-07 14:01:00 +0000 UTCNew here? Wondering where to start? Click here
Hi Everyone!
This is the third and final practice exercise for my Minor Triads lesson. Check out practice 1 and 2 as well.
In this practice exercise, we'll take the same jam track from Practice 2 and find our own way to explore a variety of triad voicings around the fingerboard. Essentially, the goal of this exercise is for you to explore (using note name scratch paper and/or the provided PDF) and find your own lovely string of triads. I hope you enjoy it!
Have a question? Ask on the weekly live Q&A, called Office Hours. Also, check out Practice Thoughts if you need help figuring out how to practice.
Jam tracks:
Post your homework on the community post for this lesson, or just pop in to ask questions or show off your favorite voicings of minor triads!

hey scott, thanks for a wonderful lesson. First time posting on here and so glad i signed up. Have already learned so much in the last few days that I haven't bothered to do over the last 15+ yearly of noodling around with the guitar. Quick question, are there common shapes for these triads that we can learn that we can move up and down the fretboard? I see some common shapes/patterns emerging and I am not sure if thats just an easier way to learn these triads and the fretboard at the same time as well. I will definitely be putting in the time and playing around with these voicing in the meanwhile. Thanks, appreciate all your hard work and effort.

2024-02-25 00:13:48 +0000 UTCBrilliant lesson! - it's fun to recognize the CAGED shapes, i was having fun playing the full chords along (those these are fragments of) - like, the first line goes in the shapes of E, Dm, D | D, E, Am, Em. But yeah, i'll spend some time with this, especially being mindful of which notes i'm playing, my first goal is to know the notes on the fretboard (i was already watching MTM melody making videos, and realized i haven't been doing enough homework and practice, so i went back...).

2021-01-25 15:49:12 +0000 UTCIt's based on the idea of secondary dominants. E is the V of Am, which is the relative minor of C. Once you get deeper into Music Theory Monday, a progression like this will make more sense!

2021-01-25 15:27:24 +0000 UTCHey Scott, having some difficulty figuring out this chord progression... Is it random or based on the circle of fifths? I think it's the E (and not Em) that's throwing me off if it's in C.
