E Natural Minor | Triads
The E natural minor scale with all 7 diatonic triads mapped across the fretboard. Each chord is color-coded by scale degree so you can see exactly how the harmony is built from the scale.
Diatonic triads in E natural minor
E natural minor has 7 diatonic triads | one built on each scale degree: Em (i), F#dim (ii°), G (III), Am (iv), Bm (v), C (VI), D (VII). These are the only chords made entirely from notes in the scale.
Seeing them on the fretboard simultaneously reveals how they overlap | notes shared between chords, voice leading opportunities, and the positions where chord tones cluster together.
Why this matters
Most guitarists learn chords and scales separately. Seeing the triads inside the scale connects them | you stop thinking of chords and scales as different things and start seeing the fretboard as one unified system.
