Thank you so much Tom. So wonderfully and completely explained. Triads, triads, triads. You pimped my playing.

Following on from my review of part 1, this lesson was the epiphany moment when i realised how intervals really worked across the neck, and how they form subsequent triads. Within a few weeks of solidly practising the shapes and their inversions, I all of a sudden knew more chords than i knew what to do with. And best of all, i actually understood what was happening theory wise.<br /> <br /> The 7th chords section is the icing on the cake; Tom doesn't throw you into the deep end with complex jazz chords, he sticks with the formula and introduces the idea: using the highest pitched note in the chord as a voice/lead, a simple yet powerful concept. 10/10
