Triads - Technique Lesson

Here is a video lesson on triads, which are the first, third and fifth degree of a scale. They are useful for
1. improving technique and coordination
2. learning tunes more quickly
3. improvising

So a G major triad would be G, B, D. Or G0-2-D0. The second octave would be D3-A1-A3.
If you practice this a lot and get it into your ear, the other triads will follow.

If you don’t know how to play a major scale, watch these videos first:
