Berklemusic-Triads in Root Position 3 (cont.)

Posted by T ZAMAN in Berklemusic, free guitar lesson

Now let's try the same triads, only in a different order. In contemporary, jazz, and popular music, chords frequently move in intervals of a fourth up (or a fifth down). If we move from chord to chord by intervals of a fourth, we arrive at what is called the cycle of fourths, also known as "cycle 4," shown below. A cycle is defined as a series of events that recur regularly and usually lead back to the starting point. If you start at any note and continue around the wheel to the note that is up by a fourth, you will eventually end up back at the same note. In so doing, you will have covered all twelve notes in the chromatic scale, without repetition.

This serves as a useful reference to allow you to take anything through all twelve keys. Although not as intuitive as half-step motion on the guitar neck, knowledge of this set of key relationships will help prepare you to play the countless songs whose chords move in intervals of fourths, including thousands of blues, rock, r&b, and jazz tunes. If this is new to you, don't worry. You'll get a lot of practice with it. In fact, let's start using this approach to the twelve keys now.

Berklemusic-Triads in Root Position 2 (cont.)

Posted by T ZAMAN in Berklemusic, free guitar lesson

To get used to the sound of the major triad, let's practice playing major triads up the fretboard, one fret at a time, on the top string set 1-2-3. While difficult to execute on most musical instruments, moving up one fret at a time, also called "in half-steps," on the guitar neck is one of the easiest ways to accustom yourself to a voicing shape.

1. Play major triads in all twelve keys, moving up the fretboard one fret at a time, in half steps on the first set of three strings, as shown in figure 1.1 of page 1. Play a triad based on each of these notes.

Please Note: All playing exercises include an Interactive Exercise (Guitar Pick button) which allows you to follow and play along with the music, as well as MP3 and PDF downloads that allow you to practice at your own pace. It is recommended to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to view all PDF downloads.

Major Triads

A chord is a set of three or more notes sounded simultaneously. If the notes are played one after the other, it is called an arpeggio.

Triads are three-note chords. They are built upwards in intervals of thirds from a fundamental note, called a root, which is like the tonic of a scale. The major triad includes the tonic, third, and fifth of the major scale built on the triad's root.

Each of these notes is described by a number corresponding to its scale degree (or interval) away from the root: 1, 3, 5. These numbers are referred to as "functions," as in "E functions as the third of a C major triad."

Play the following C major scale, triad, and arpeggio now.
