Memorizing all triads - tips and tricks?

[ryokan]

I am in the middle of trying to get all the triads (root, 1st, 2nd) memorized. I am fine running through each of them by themselves, but once I start to try to run through a triadically harmonized (?) scale that mixes root, 1st and 2nd triads, my mind starts to boggle...

Anyone have any tips or tricks that they've used to lock these in the memory?

If this ever happens to you, don't delete it or replicate it elsewhere. Instead, let one of the moderators know and they can move it appropriately for you.

Triads follow an every other note sequence, so according to the given root and mode. the triads will always fall into this pattern

1 3 5
2 4 6
3 5 7
4 6 1
5 7 2
6 1 3
7 2 4

you can work triads out in Major, Minor, Harmonic Minor.

on the guitar major/minor/dimished/augmented triads follow very distinct patterns. So if you integrate this into your warmup, it becomes easy.

Best way to see the fretboard too, beats scales any day.

It doesn't take long to learn to rattle them off. The next step is to pull out individual notes. What is the 3rd of Bb major, etc.

Another idea is to find a notated melody with chords written. Then circle the notes in the melody of that chord. That will show you how these notes are used melodically.

It is really important that you are doing this. Keep at it.
