Triads - Traditional and Contemporary Triads
Published: 01 Jan 2003 Updated: 01 Jan 2003 • Visits: 22 • Code: UL42-TRI
A triad is a three note chord. In traditional chord theory there are four traditional triad chord types: major, minor, diminished and augmented. And four contemporary triad chord types: sus2, sus4, add2 and add9.
Triads can be used harmonically, as chords and melodically, as single notes. Triads are a great way to get started with creating melodic solos and improvising.
