Hi Guys, Joe Kataldo here, following the high success of song/lessons Like "Pumping Rock", I decided to make another one, rock rhythms and Triads under the spotlight.
Rock Rhythms with Triads
------------------------
Everything starts with some arpeggiated triads over a D Bass pedal, creating a D Dorian Pad, building slowly up to a strong riffing, that alternate and moves triads from C major parent scale, and a drop sixth D string riffing, that ends with a tight short but effective solo, with some triads in there too.
Techniques Focus
----------------
Palm muting is key here, to archive a tight sound between triads and sixth string riffing. Check my other lessons Palm Muting Primer & Muted Arpeggios, to a dip inside this technique.
Theory Focus
------------
Alternate different triads over a constant bass note is the easiest way to create modal progressions.
Ex.
F/D (F triad over D bass note) = D & F A C = Dm7
C/D = D & C E G = Dm11
And so on...
Pro Tips
--------
Don't use to much distortion with triads, or everything will sound mud, special with digital modelling amp.
See You Next Lesson!
