One of the best things about the guitar is its grid-like structure of notes. While it takes time to learn, it’s extremely powerful in providing us with shapes and patterns that can be moved up and down the fretboard to form any chord, triad, scale, or arpeggio of the same quality.

Triads are the building blocks of chords. If you’re used to playing only full chords, triads will help expand your playing and allow you to create more unique voicings and tones. They’re a great way to spice up your playing by allowing you to easily add little embellishments to your rhythms.
