Jazz Guitar Triads
Six triad qualities. Four string sets. Every inversion. Learn to see, name, and play triads across the entire fretboard — with interactive diagrams and audio you can play right in your browser.
What's Inside
This isn't a random playlist of triad lessons. It's a structured system that takes you from basic shapes to real-time musical application over jazz changes — all in one place.
Interactive Fretboard Grids
Every shape displayed on a clean chord grid diagram. See exactly where your fingers go — no ambiguity, no guessing from tab.
Playable Audio
Hear every triad voicing directly in the lesson. Click and listen — train your ears alongside your fingers without leaving the platform.
Structured Drill System
Vertical connection, horizontal mapping, random recall, and contrast drills. Each module builds retention through deliberate repetition — not mindless noodling.
Course Modules
We teach six triad qualities in three phases. Phase A builds the shapes. Phase B builds speed and connections. Phase C applies everything over real jazz changes.
Introduction
What is a triad? Inversions, string sets, and the six qualities side by side. A clear map before we start drilling.
Major Triad
All inversions on 4 string sets, plus vertical connection drills, horizontal mapping, random recall, and contrast drills against Minor and Augmented.
Minor Triad
Same systematic structure. Build Minor shapes across every string set, then contrast them against Major and Diminished to lock the differences in your ears and hands.
Augmented Triad
The symmetrical triad. Learn its unique inversions and how it relates to Major and Maj♭5 — the "major-third family."
Diminished Triad
Diminished shapes everywhere on the neck. Contrast drills against Minor and Maj♭5 sharpen your ability to spot the difference instantly.
Sus2 Triad
The open, ambiguous sound. We map Sus2 across every string set and contrast it with Major and Minor — the "middle string spectrum."
Major Flat Five Triad
The rarest quality. Learn the Maj♭5 shapes and contrast them against Augmented and Diminished — the "altered-5th family."
Triads Application
ii–V–I, minor ii–V–i, and a jazz blues. Apply every triad you've learned over real chord changes and hear them work as music.
Why This Course Is Different
Try finding a complete, organized triad reference for jazz guitar on the web. You'll end up buying three books, bookmarking a dozen videos, and still missing half the inversions. I went through that process — and built everything I wish I'd had into one free course.
- No more hunting across the web. Six triad qualities, four string sets, every inversion — collected, organized, and presented in one cohesive path. What would normally cost you several books is here for free.
- Hear what you see. Every voicing has playable audio built into the lesson. Train your ears and your fingers at the same time.
- Visual fretboard grids. Clean, readable chord diagrams for every shape. No more squinting at blurry screenshots or deciphering tab notation.
- Systematic, not random. Each triad quality follows the same structure: shapes → drills → contrast. Your brain builds reliable patterns.
- Mentor-guided practice. Built on a platform with a practice journal, goal tracking, and direct feedback. You're not alone in this.
