Triads, or three note chords, are one of the most powerful, and overlooked, tools in our harmonic toolbox. On ukulele it's easy to always think in four note chord shapes but triads are the building blocks that we need to understand chords and substitutions.

In this deep dive lesson we look at how to build Major, Minor, Diminished, and Augmented triads inversions, make them moveable up and down the neck and then put them to use. We'll be using the jazz standard 'Moonlight in Vermont' as our vehicle starting with the basic triads and then seeing how we can play the 'wrong' triads over top to create new harmonic colors.
