\nAll major triads come from one shape, the yellow one. I call it my “A-shape” with the root on the 6th string<\/p>\n
The same figure with the root on the 5 string, in red – my \u201dD-shape\u201d The root on the 2nd string has moved up half a step due to the tuning, but it’s the same form.<\/p>\n
Then the same figure with the root on the 4th string in green – my “F-shape” Now both the root on the 1st string and the fifth on the 2nd string have moved up a half-step but the relationship between the triad notes are the same.
\n(If you’d have a low B and F # string as 7 and 8 string, you would see the green figure with the major third from the 8 string upwards.<\/p>\n
So then A is in the yellow “mother” figure. C, E and F can be found in the green shape. D in the red. G as a combo of the Yellow & Green. B like A in the yellow. Guess you could call it the ABCDEFG-system \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Hope this is useful to someone, feel free to comment below!
