Now that we can easily cover every inch of the fretboard with triads (or 1-3-5's) we being the final steps to total fretboard domination by including every other possible note around the triads, the 2's, 7's, 4's, and 6's. This will encompass literally every sound that is possible in music, and will simply allow you to do whatever you want. In Part 4 we will do this in a lead context, and in Part 5 a chord context.

The 3 Lead Triads
-If we want to play triads as we've been playing them, we know there is only one way to play each inversion around the fretboard. In this series however, we are playing the triads as lead figures which means there are multiple ways to play them.
-Memorizing these 3 "lead Triads" will be step one in total fretboard domination that we are heading towards in Building Chords.Creating Exercises
-Basic and Mechanical-
We'll start with some very basic "mechanical" type practice strategies for the 3 "lead triads" discussed in the previous video. These aren't the most musically exciting things to do, but are necessary for our hands/ears/eyes to get comfortable with the topic.
-Playing over Changes-
Using the 3 lead triads, we'll go over a bunch of ways to create exercises based on playing over a variety of progressions. I'll also include some fun and challenging improv-based exercises that will train your hands/eyes/ears/brain to keep track of these sounds as the chords change.
-Making Things Musical-
In the final video of this brief Creating Exercises miniseries, I go over my process of finding something inherently valuable about a topic I'm practicing and how I develop that thing into some exercises that can also double as cool musical tools. The valuable thing I'll be discussing in this video will be Outer String shapes and the new options I have to play them using the 3 Lead Triads. Be prepared for six Power Ups!
