Triad Magic is an introduction to guitar theory using triads, with diagrams and access to online videos. You will learn how basic chords are constructed from guitar scales, laying the groundwork to understanding more complex chords.
By the end of the book, you won’t play the chords in a song because a diagram says that’s what the chord looks like. By learning guitar theory with the focus on triads, you’ll be able to construct whichever chord forms you think are necessary for a song, based on what the other players in the band are already playing and where you want to fit into that sound. And when you learn the parts of an existing song, by one of your favorite artists, you will have a better understanding of how they constructed the parts.
Your guitar solos will also be likely to improve as well, because you will have a greater awareness of how the lead patterns lay over the chord patterns along the neck. Guitar Theory . . Triad Magic, with its emphasis on mastering triads . . .Chord theory with guitar scales and arpeggios . . . Pure madness!
