Hey guys! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben here with Weekend Wankshop 257, in which you're going to learn the secrets of visualizing triads for tapping across the fretboard!!!
When Eddie Van Halen laid down the shred gauntlet with Eruption on Van Halen's debut album, the collective guitar world was in awe, especially of the dramatic, classical-style tapped arpeggios that close the guitar solo masterpiece out. 3 note tapping became a regular part of every player's vocabulary in the early 80's, and is still a major part of lead playing today!
But EVH wasn't just tapping random notes from a scale; he was outlining chord triad arpeggios! Major, minor, and diminished, to be exact, in all different inversions. But how can we learn to see these shapes across a single string and bust out our own tapped arpeggios? The secret is NOT memorizing long strings of random fret numbers or going on scavenger hunts looking for the right notes. Its all about the power of the 3rd!!!
The Major 3rd interval is equivalent to 2 whole steps. the minor 3rd interval is 1 and 1/2 steps. If you can visualize those jumps on the fretboard, its EASY to make any tapped triad happen!
Use these easy tricks and start shredding today:
Major: root note + M3 + m3
minor: root note + m3 + M3
diminished: root note +m3 +m3
And thats it! In this lesson, i'm going to show you all the basic interval shapes and how to link them up to create Major, minor, and diminished arpeggios, then take you through ALL the triads in G Major, and at the end, we will even get into understanding inversions and how to play around with them. Its everything you need to know for those classic EVH sounds!
