Major Chord Triads – Improve Your Guitar Playing
Many guitar players just strum away with any old chord that has the correct name and don’t worry too much aboutthe subleties of the chord, whether there is a more suitable chord which might be more suitable. The guitar Tab and notation that I have created is designed to introduce you to some simple triads (three note chords) .
You’ll notice some of them have odd names, example A/C#. All the chords I have included are simple majors but the reason they have odd names is because there is a different bass note. In the case of the A /C# it means an A chord with a C sharp note in the bass. I play a lot of triads instead of full chords, they are fantastic on fingerstyle guitar tunes, they have a mobility about them and let’s face it, they don’t sound clumsy and they free up space for other instruments to chime through. Some times a big fat chord is best but other times it is best to use something that is more refined, this article is about those times.To download the guitar and tab notation click on the Major Chord Triads link
