Learn how to use simple triad shapes to find your way around chord progressions. The triad shapes on strings 2-4 sit very comfortably in the hands, and are easy to embellish! They can help you to compose or improvise great sounding chord riffs and melodies.
This video covers:
The three basic triad inversions on strings 2-4
How to play the 1-4-5 chords in the 3 different positions
Changing the major triads to their relative minor
Expanding on the 1-4-5 by adding the 2-3-6 chords in each position
Embellishing the chord shapes with surrounding scale tones
If you like this content, check out my site where I have a course that expands in great detail on this idea. It’s called Guitar Synergy, and if you practice the exercises diligently through the course, you will master triads and feel comfortable guiding yourself around the neck with them.

It's the second week of June, and that means it arpeggio time! I've really enjoyed diving into this topic once again. This week I cover a two octave arpeggio progression, using simple chord movement to demonstrate the use of inversions.
The progression is a I-IV-V in the key of B flat. If you know your number system, you will recognize this as the most common chord progression that typifies popular songs from every genre. It's hard to think of a more fundamental chord pattern than this.
In this lesson I wanted to demonstrate one of my favorite ways to play arpeggios. By thinking of the triad shapes in two separate octaves I find that it is more visually simple to understand. There are many ways to make arpeggios on guitar, but this one works well for me! Maybe it will for you too.

One of the many ways you can use the big 3 triad patterns is to play wide interval chord shapes. Do it by skipping one string in between each note of the big 3 shapes. These are very nice sounding chords.

In this video I present for you, step-by-step, my arrangement of "How Deep Is Your Love" by the Bee Gee's as a chord melody.
I primarily based it off of the version by PJ Morton, but kept it in the Bee Gee's original key of Eb.
Video includes practice along with sheet music & tablature at the end of the video.

As I've outlined in previous videos, I use a way of thinking about patterns on the neck that I call the Big 3. If you want a basic introduction to the idea of the Big 3 then check out the video linked below.
So in this new video, I use that way of thinking as a foundation to show some basic patterns for 7th chord arpeggios. This is just adding another layer to the foundation that the big 3 provide, and shows one of the ways that you can build on them to expand into more complex and rich harmony.
My goal is to - over time - build up a catalog of video lessons that show all the ways you can expand out from the Big 3 concept to really grow your understanding of all of the patterns across the neck. This will take a while, but this video is another step towards that goal and hopefully will spark some further ideas for you.
You can access the PDF that accompanies this video via the first link below. Until next time, thank you for your support!

In the third part of this series I demonstrate the dominant 7 voicings on the first 4 strings with some variations on each of the inversions. This video focuses on the natural extensions of the dominant chord, meaning the natural 9, 11, and 13, rather than on any altered notes like #9 or b9 etc. Altered dominant chords will be covered in the next installment.
Additionally I show how I like to practice the inversions using a melody note to help my ears connect the shapes to where I'm at in the scale.
I specifically single out the dominant sus chord inversions at the end of the lesson, because I find this chord and it's inversions extremely useful and they have a very nice sound that fits into many different styles of music. I'll go into where and how to use dominant sus chords in a future lesson. Leave a comment if that is something you want to see.
