![]() ![]() We start with a 2nd inversion F major triad and then move up the neck with a 2nd inversion G major, Root position F major, Root position G major, 1st inversion F major, 1st inversion G major and so on. The picking is a little odd or idiosyncratic here, so feel free to find your own way of executing the right-hand element of this lick. We are using each inversion of the F and G triads rising up the neck on the A, D and G strings, moving from the 2nd fret all the way up to the 22nd fret. Lick 1 – The first lick outlines the F and G major triads in an obvious manner to get us started. Since the triad pair used for these licks comes from the C major or C melodic minor scales, these licks will work over any of the diatonic chords from those keys/scales, except for chord I in C major. You will find tablature for both ‘all 4ths’ and ‘standard’ tuning to accompany this lesson, so just use the tab that fits your needs. As you’ll see, all the lines have a very characteristic sound to them.Īnother quick note – I taught all of the licks in my ‘all 4ths’ tuning, where the top two strings are tuned up a semitone from B to C and E to F. This gives our lines a unique sound and organises the notes in a logical manner that gives our phrases a particular shape and flow. In the case of our major scale, the triad pair omits the 3rd of the scale (the note E in C major) and for the melodic minor scale, the flattened 3rd is omitted (Eb in C melodic minor). I prefer to keep my terms as simple as possible, so we’ll just refer to this as a triad pair. Since each of the triads contain 3 notes, pairing them together gives us six notes from the possible seven in the parent major or melodic minor scale – sometimes referred to as a Hexatonic scale. In the case of C major or C melodic minor, this would give us an F major and G major triad (although we have a few more options in melodic minor should we wish to utilise them). The most common triad pair to use is the IV and V chords in a major or melodic minor key. Constructing phrases from triads tends to give us a different sound compared to scalar based ideas since the intervals are usually larger. A triad pair is literally a pair of triads utilised together to create lines. Today we’re going to be using the concept of ‘Triad Pairs’ to create five very cool licks that should give you some new ideas to play with. Hi guys and welcome back to my column for this issue. ![]()
