Identifying The Triads Within Each Major Pentatonic Shape

Hello Cherries! Matching triads to the CAGED system breaks large, bulky open-chord shapes down into smaller, three-note chunks (root, 3rd, and 5th) that map directly across the fretboard for melodic soloing. A great exercise would be to pick a position on the fretboard and play a 1-4-5 progression. Just 3 chords in G. You have a G, C, and D chord. Play the top parts of the 3 chords only on the top strings. We'll call that the 1st string set. You'll have 3 triads right next to each other. From there you can easily see how the 3 notes from each chord blend into each other. Sometimes they'll share a note. Don't stop there. Take it to the next string set. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string, and so on. Then move the 3 chords to another position. You'll notice the the chord and triad shapes repeat but the chords themselves change. I go over all of this here in this new video. Please check it out and have a great week Everybody.
