Guitar Trick Shot! Modal Progressions & Triads - Skyrocket Your Skills!

Connecting Modal Chord Progressions and Triads

This lesson focuses on the technique of smoothly connecting modal chord progressions and triads. We will explore how to use triads as building blocks within a larger modal context, creating interesting and flowing chord progressions.

Understanding Modal Interchange

Modal interchange involves borrowing chords from parallel modes to add color and variety to your progressions. We'll examine how to effectively use this technique to create richer harmonic movement within a given mode.

Building Progressions with Triads

Learn how to construct compelling chord progressions by strategically placing triads within a modal framework. We'll cover techniques for selecting appropriate triads based on their function within the mode and how to create smooth transitions between them.

Example: G Mixolydian

This lesson will use the G Mixolydian mode as a primary example. We'll explore common chord progressions within this mode and demonstrate how to incorporate triads to enhance the harmonic interest. Specific progressions like G-D-Em-C will be analyzed and expanded upon.

Practical Application

The lesson will provide practical exercises and examples to help you apply these techniques to your own playing. You'll learn how to create your own modal chord progressions using triads, expanding your improvisational and compositional skills.

This lesson is suitable for intermediate guitar players with a basic understanding of music theory and modes.
