Guitar in Fourth Gear Perfect Fourths Tuning Part 14 major triads first position

Описание: In this lesson on perfect fourths tuning, I break down major triads in first inversion, starting on the third instead of the root, across the entire fretboard using four repeatable shapes. Perfect fourths tuning reveals consistent interval patterns and octave pathways, eliminating CAGED-style breaks. This method helps experienced guitarists develop true fretboard awareness, hear chord tones clearly, and navigate harmony with confidence in real musical contexts.
