Triads are incredibly useful on guitar, not only for building chords and arpeggios, but for soloing too, and especially soloing over chord changes. If you know your triads inside-out on the neck, you’ve laid the foundations for mapping out the fretboard when creating chord progressions, rhythm parts or improvising melodically. The tedious part is actually learning triads to start with which is why I came up with this incredibly handy method for learning triads and their inversions all over the neck in a fraction of the time it takes to learn them the standard rote way. This book covers root, first and second inversions of the following major, minor, diminished, augmented, sus2 and sus4, giving you the power to not only remember them, but use them effectively in coming up with solos, rhythm parts and many other creative applications. Enjoy!
Graham Tippett (1977-) studied literature, music and languages in the UK before making a permanent move to Mexico in 2005. It was there he began to explore and research methods of improvisation on the guitar and published the '2 Position Scale System' series of instruction books in 2014, which are the fruit of that research. He is also well-known for his love of languages and music, drawing parallels between the two art forms as he continues to write and research on the subjects of language learning and improvisation.
