Hi-

I am taking lessons and my instructor introduced me to arpeggios (but was also calling them triads). For some reason...the concept is not making sense in my brain and I am struggling to figure out how to play them and use them. 

I took notes and now I don't understand what they mean..haha...here's what I wrote:

1, 5, 6, 4 (G, D, E, C) 

G: G, B , D

D: D, E#, A

E: E, G, B

C: C, E, G

Anyone who understands this...could you lead me to a link that help me understand what I'm trying to learn. I want to practice and have a good working understanding by our next lesson-- but that is proving difficult since I don't really understand. Bear in mind, I'm very new to this instrument! I took piano as a child and have *some* understanding of music theory...but translating that understanding to violin has been a little bit of a challenge. 

Any help appreciated! 🙂
