Identifying The Triads Within Each Major Pentatonic Shape

Hello Cherries! There's a really simple way to target chord tones while soloing in a progression and that's by using triads and their inversions. We're only using the top string set for now, the hi E, B, and G strings. I came up with 3 minor progressions all using different modes. In the 1st example I use the progression Dm to G. On those top strings only play the Dm triad up the fretboard using the Root, 1st, and 2nd inversion. That gives you the same chord up the neck just with a different inversion of the chord. Now play the G triad on the same string set up the fretboard. So now you have 2 chords Dm and G right next to each other up and down the neck that you can use as a framework to hit the right chord tones. In this video not only do play this Dorian progression but I created 2 more progressions, a Phrygian, and an Aeolian. In the key of C, within the major scale you have 3 minor chords / modes, D Dorian, E Phrygian, and A Aeolian "Natural Minor." I'm knocking out two birds with one stone here. Not only will you hear the sound of these modes and understand them, but you'll learn a great way to apply them using triads. Also, these modal chord progressions are movable. You can play them in any key. Enjoy the video and have a great weekend Everybody.
