These diminished triad exercises are presented in the same order as the major and minor triads.
However, the 1st and 2nd sets of strings are much easier to practice because the fingerings on the 3rd and 4th sets of strings require difficult…

song_guitar-solo_Melody-with-Triads-C-Major
This song is an etude. The melody is harmonized with triad inversions.
Specific fingerings are given to help with all the chord changes.
This song may sound a little 'blocky', since so many beats have triads on them.
Maybe add volume changes…
