Thinking of this in terms of notes over a G7 this is pretty trivial, but thinking of it as a Bmajorb5 triad is complicated. G7#5 is in this case constructed by taking a Bdim triad and exchanging the D with a D#. The way I approach this is the same as what I did in this lesson on drop2 voicings of 7th chords: Drop2 voicins part 2 To me it is handy to have a simple way to construct basic 3 note voicings I can use for any chord type and then it is easier to alter one of the notes while playing becuase there are only three and I know what notes they are in relation to the chord. In order to cover more chords we can start moving away from only viewing the triad as a triad but more as a set of notes over another chord so we can start altering that chord. You should try to do the top one your self, that’s a good exercise.Īnd if you want to play altered dom7th chords then you can use the diminished triad on the 7th degree of the chord so for G7 that would be F dim: F Ab B which gives you these notes over G7: 7, b9 and 3, so the equivalent of a G7b9. Of course it is possible to use all string sets, but I find myself using the middle and the top set the most for these voicings so here’s the middle one. Here are some basic Cadences constructed with the triad found on the 3rd of each chord: II V I in C using F, Bdim, Em. That might be influenced by voice-leading, technique and timbre of the strings. I leave out the augmented triad because it is less useful as an upper structure except when playing minorMajor7 chords and since it is symmetrical it is fairly easy to figure out (This is where you go “Challenge accepted!”)Īs I mention in the video, there are a few possible choices when choosing where to place the notes on the neck, to me it varies what I prefer and I try to use whatever fits the situation best. Here are the 3 of the basic sort of triads, the ones found in the major scale. This is also sometimes referred to as a drop2 voicing, which I already covered with 7th chords in a few other lessons.
As you can see the idea is to take the 2nd note of the triad and drop it an octave.

Here’s an example on how to construct open triads from triad inversions. They all apply them as triads, but I am going to use them in the same way I approached the triads in my lesson on that. What is an open triad? Probably some of the most famous examples of open triads on the guitar would be Eric Johnson intro to Cliffs of Dover, Steve Morse string skipping etudes, and a lot of the guitar parts of the Californication-era Red Hot Chili Peppers. I never really checked them out in any systematical way so making this lesson I found quite a few new voicings to experiment with. I guess I’ll do a lesson on how to use them as arpeggios in solos at a later time. I think they can sound great and it is a subject that is not covered that often so it deserved a bit of attention. After making the triad lesson I thought I might as well make a lesson on open triads because I use them sometimes as chords and sometimes as arpeggios.
