Video Lesson: 4-3-2 Triads, Part 1

By Jon Nicol

Here's another way to utilize triads to escape that muddy middle of the lower 4 frets. This guitar lesson teaches the Root, 1st and 2nd inversions of major and minor triads on string sets 4-3-2. It's actually more fun than it sounds. Plus, these triads are the building blocks numerous guitar riffs and parts. I demonstrate how the Hillsong guitarist uses these triads to create the intro to Hosanna.

If you want, you can download a three page supplemental training from one of my live worship guitar workshops.

In part 2, we'll dive into playing triads up the neck as a "scale."
