Triads
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 10:26 pm
I have been playing bass for close to 30+ years. I am just starting to learn about theory and the like. I am confused about Triads and what exactly they are. I am working in the "Building Walking Bass Lines" book by Ed Friedland.
His diagrahm shows three notes on the same measure stacked.
____________
_____O______
_____O______ <----- a rendition of C maj triad. I understand it is the Root the 3rd and 5th. I am wondering is
_____O______ are they strummed like a chord ? or just tell me what the notes are in the triad.
____________
Not sure if i am asking this correctly
Help and thanks
