We will be continuing with our chords of the G Major scale. While before we looked at chords in the open position. This time we will be venturing up the neck and focusing on 3 note chords, aka the TRIAD. Each major, minor and diminished chord can be played with 3 notes. By working on these 3 note shapes, we will start uncovering a pattern on the fretboard which we will dive into a bit later. Unfortunately this step
will take a bit of memorization, but it will be a good opportunity to give our hands a good workout.

Notice that only one of these shapes stretches outside of a 4 fret reach. This is the 9-7-5 chord in the second half. For all the others the shapes fit within the four frets. We have four fretting fingers, coincidence? I think not. Almost like we were made to play triads! We will force our poor little pinky into the game for these as it will be used to play the lowest not in each of these chords. Your pointer finger will always play the highest note, and your middle and ring fingers will get split duty. (Highest and lowest not being the highest/lowest pitch, not fret)
