[Demonstration]
In this lesson, we’re going to learn all about a root position triad chords and what I was just playing was 1-4-5 progression in the key of A, but instead of playing full bar chords like this [Demonstration] which can tend to get a bit muddy, all I was doing was playing the triad in a root position, which is just three notes for each chord, and all root position means is the root of the chord like this an A if triad, is going to be the lowest note in the triad.
So for our first triad, the ring finger is going to come up on the seventh fret and grab the A on the D string. The middle finger is going to grab the third of the chord on the sixth fret on the G string. And finally, our index finger is going to grab the fifth fret on the B string, so it should be A, C sharp, and E [Demonstration], instead of [Demonstration], it’s a lot more [Demonstration] clear for this music like a reggae or jazz.
From there, we’re going to go to our D chord which is just A D triad based on the string on the seventh fret here with our third finger, it’s a D, and grab the F# on the seventh fret with your pinky, and then you’re going to grab an A with your index finger on the fifth fret of your high E string, same thing. Now you’re going to move that up same shape, only now, your ring finger will be grabbing an E, which is the five chord in the key of A, so hit those three notes together [Demonstration], like down to a D, [Demonstration] and finally back to the A.
Okay now, these chords are all moved so you can move them any around the fret board, and when you want something that’s a little less and muddy and a little more clear and you want to be able to let the base player, the keyboard player or who ever it is—and the Music Two, these are really great options to use on stuff like reggae and jazz.
