This complete lesson is designed to help you fully understand and visualize triads and their inversions across the entire fingerboard—not as isolated shapes, but as one connected system.
You’ll work with Major, Minor, Augmented, and Diminished triads in the key of C, learning root position, 1st inversion, and 2nd inversion on all adjacent string sets. The material is presented in a clear, systematic way that applies directly to jazz guitar, chord melody, comping, and improvisation.
This is foundational material that pays off at every level of playing.
