I love the sound of "wider interval triads", which is something Eric Johnson often uses, hence the name of this lesson.
It's a simple concept really: play a triad, but move one of the notes to a different octave. That's it in a nutshell.
Now, you should explore this concept further. You see, you can reorganize these notes. Moving the 3rd to the upper octave isn't the only option. What does it sound like if you play the triad with, for example, this formula: 5th - m3 - root, where the root is an octave higher?
Try that with an E minor triad, for example (B-G-E):
Play 5th interval: 9th fret on D string
Play minor 3rd interval: 8th fret on B string
Play root: 12th fret on E string
Cool yeah? Start exploring this stuff - it's fun and can lead some really hip chord voicings! Do this with 7th chords next!
Want more? For members on MGA, I have a fun course on these triads, using 3 different string sets, and with Soundslice exercises and 5 licks. There is a thorough lesson explaining this concept deeper, and neck diagrams are included.

[@jsaundersmusic]

your guitar seems to be really nicely intonated, impressive how you can play triads all over the place and have it so tightly in tune. Obviously your technique has a say in that too Robert

Well taught, well done, polished as nicely as your strat. Liked, subbed and shared..

[@berndkoelbl3852]

Hello Robert! I like what you do ! The triads that you explain here (E.J.`s Triads) are actually Drop 2 Chords from Inversion 2 of the Em aeolian scale. For example the Eminor voicing you use here is E H G which is the Drop 2 from the 2nd Inversion of the E G H Triad. ( Root Position Em = E G H, Inversion 1= G H E, Inversion 2 = H E G ) Build the Drop 2 Chord from the 2nd Inversion which means play your second note of your Inversion 2 and we got that E H G Triad. Thanx for all your wonderful lessons, Robert !

[@michaellopez3657]

Excellent lesson, best lesson on EJ chords ive come across. I've been playing around with this kinda stuff and this is the best lesson ive come across for his style of triad playing. I've even been trying to get his clean tone, just with a bit of light chorus and some delay. =P

Awesome, thank you!

Very Special Lesson. .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏

[@MichelCernev]

This is awesome ........

[@UrbanOttosson]

Awesome as usual. If it helps someone, another way to explain what you’re doing is that you’re playing a harmonized scale using D-shape triads. The only difference is that you play the root one ocatave lower on the D-string instead of the B-string. Anyway, great trick, sounds killer.

[@hottamanful]

Urban Ottosson thank you 😊

[@deepakmeher25]

thank u teacher

[@guitarhaven6807]

verrrrry coolio. Nice mod on intervals.

[@berndkoelbl3852]

Complement to my last Sentence: Building the Drop 2 Chord from the 2nd Inversion [ H E G ] means that you have to play the 2nd highest note from your chord an octave lower and we got our E H G triad!

[@Corey_G]

Gorgeous Guitar 🎸 Drop 2 Voicings 😊👍
