Triad Pairs I

Online Guitar Lessons 2016

Triad Pairs are a great way of creating fresh sounds whilst improvising and the following musical examples illustrate a technique of
taking two major triads a tone apart and creating a six note scale form which outlines an A Dominant 7 chord with added 9th, 11th.
This is almost like a Mixolydian scale but with no 6th present in the scale.
