About the Minor Triad
A minor triad keeps the perfect fifth (7) but lowers the third to a minor third (3 semitones), giving the darker minor sound. The root, ♭3 and 5 of A♯ minor recur across the fretboard and underpin minor chords and arpeggios.
Practice tips
Anchor every shape to its root — the gold R markers — and learn the distance to the other tones. The same shape transposes to any root by sliding it along the neck.
Open the interactive trainer and tap every A♯ Minor Triad tone across all six strings until the shape is automatic.
