Dyads II: 9 Different Sounding Dyads on The 2 High Strings in 3rd Position

Dyads are 2 note chords.
The Dyads of this lesson are on the 2 thinnest strings.
Dyads do not have to be on the 2 thinnest strings, but any 2 strings qualify.
Some dyads have the same shape but actually qualify as different dyads, especially in jazz.
These dyads are meant for the key of G Ionian, which is just a fancy way of saying the major scale.
The only notes that the dyads will be derived from in this lesson:
	7th fret		9th fret			12th fret
thinnest string	B	C		D		E
	F#	G		A		B
thickest string
The theory that holds true for all of the Dyads in G Ionian 3rd position for this lesson:
	7th fret		9th fret			12th fret
thinnest string	3	4		5		6
	7	1		2		3
thickest string
The first 2 dyads are 5ths, but in more complicated music are the same shape with different sound.
To play dyads correctly, one does not just use shape, but rather the context of the key.
That means that just knowing the dyad and playing it is not enough.
One needs to know the sound of the note to play it correctly.
In my opinion these two dyads are the most generic sounding.
One is the root and fifth of the Ionian scale. The other is the 2nd and 7th of the Ionian scale.
The root and fifth are in bold blue. The 2nd and 7th are in bold red.
Some prefer this shape because it sounds heavier, especially with use of distortion.
First try fretting them with the index and ring fingers,
but if you can fret them with the middle and pinky, especially for dyad soloing.
	7th fret		9th fret			12th fret
thinnest string	3	4		5		6
	7	1		2		3
thickest string
The next 2 dyads are minor 3rds, but in more complicated music one is the same shape, but
with different sound.
Again though, it is about key Ionian in the key of G and context.
Because 1 is the G note as written this shape this means that it is the key of G.
Minor dyads like these 2 sound sad.
The minor 2nd and 4th dyad is in blue. The minor 3rd and 5th dyad is in red.
First, try to fret them with the index and ring fingers, but the ring and pinky are better.
	7th fret		9th fret			12th fret
thinnest string	3	4		5		6
	7	1		2		3
thickest string
The next dyad is a major 3rd. In this position there is only 1 major 3rd dyad.
Fret this dyad with the index and middle fingers.
This dyad is colored blue.
It is a major 3rd because the it contains the 1 and 3 intervals.
	7th fret		9th fret			12th fret
thinnest string	3	4		5		6
	7	1		2		3
thickest string
The next dyad is a flat 5 dyad. Flat 5 chords are pretty much only used in jazz
Fret it with the index and middle finger.
This dyad is colored blue, and contain the 7th and 4th notes
Many think that this dyad sounds horrible.
Personally, it is the least common dyad I would use in a solo.
	7th fret		9th fret			12th fret
thinnest string	3	4		5		6
	7	1		2		3
thickest string
I will lump the next 4 dyads together, because they all have the same shape.
The first to be played are a 3rd and 7th minor dyad.
They are great and beautiful when used and are part of minor 7th chords.
One is in bold blue, the other is in bold red.
I recommend playing the one at the 7th fret with the index finger.
I recommend playing the one at the 12th fret with the pinky finger,
or if you plan on continue to ascend, the index finger works great.
The next is the 1 and 4th dyad. I think it sound unusual, and I like it.
These 4 dyads are great for key changes, meaning they can be turned easily into 5th chords.
It is in bold green. I play it with the middle finger.
And, lastly in this lesson is the 2nd and 5th dyad.
The 2nd and 5th chord has a Dorian sound in context.
It is best played with the ring finger.
It is in bold orange.
