Slash Chord Triads
Excellent lesson - great harmony, lots of ways to play chords differently, and something I always like is going up the fretboard to play a lower sounding chord.
Also, no big stretches, no barre chords, enough thinking if you want to, to keep you busy for hours, and a melody as well. A couple of slides and a hammer on for good measure.
I worked out that in bars 8 and 16 that the E7 sounds a whole heap better if you arpeggiate the C#, open string D, A rather than if you play it as 3 note grab as it's written in the tab. 
Thanks for another great lesson.

Yes, i agree with Carol, great lesson. I like the description of the rhythm - the leading notes.

This lesson is truly fab. I brought the planetalk stuff a while back but didn't dedicate as much time to it as I should have. Am now learning arpeggios with my guitar tutor and suddenly the shapes I had previously read about were appearing everywhere !
Anyway - reread the book (have lost the dvd!) and thought I would log on and look at the site and lo and behold there is a lovely triad lesson with a great explanation of the theory\shapes behind it.
In fact I followed the text so closely I noticed a typo.... possibly:

In bar 2 I'm using a (from bass up) 5-1-3 for the A chord, a 1-3-5 for the E and a 5-1-3 for the D.
|
I think the D is actually 3-5-1 is it not?
Anyway - being pedantic! Really appreciate the effort that must have gone into this and the other lerssons.
Cheers
Mat

It is indeed, Mat, thanks ... no matter how many times I check these lessons, I always get one of these chord numberings wrong!
I'll go fix it now.

Sorry, ruben, I don't understand the question. This lesson is in plain old standard tuning, so I'm not sure what you're asking about. 
EDIT: having read it again, no, this is not dropped D tuning, just standard.
