What is a triad?
Like the name suggests, a triad consists of only three notes. I like to call triads “mini-chords” because unlike our standard open and barre chord shapes, these little guys take up a “mini” space on the neck with just three strings—no more, no less. (And less is more, but we’ll get to that).
Triads come in a few different colors, but let’s look at the two most important ones: the major (brighter) and minor (darker). Honestly, if these were the only two triads you ever learned, you could get a lifetime of material out of them.
