Triads

Major Triads G Major Triads

Practice major/minor shapes on string sets 1–2–3, 2–3–4 and 3–4–5. Then connect them to pentatonic positions.

Arpeggios

Beautiful Arpeggios — Paul Davids

Target roots, thirds and fifths. Add dominant 7th arpeggios for blues applications.

Pentatonics

Work horizontally and vertically. Connect positions rather than treating each shape as an isolated box.

Blues / Hexatonic Scales

Blues Scale Major Blues Scale G Major Blues Fretmap G Minor Blues Fretmap

Rhythm

Prioritize shuffle feel, 12-bar rhythms, chord accents, muting and groove before adding lead guitar.

Soloing

Phrase around chord tones. Use triads + pentatonics + passing tones + tension/release instead of running scales.
