Corey I must say you not only a great guitar player and teacher a super human being for helping so many of us become a better player. Thanks for your contributions to the music community 😊
THIS LESSON!... WOW, I've been playing since the 70s and yet this is concept is a door opener for improvisation that has never been presented so clearly. THANK YOU Corey!
Best explanation on triads yet. Love how you tell us the note names not just the fret numbers. 70 thousand subscribers is way too few for the time and knowledge you share with us ,the least we could all do is share Corey's love of guitar with others.
I agree. If a person is discussing triads, Knowing the names of the notes is crucial . Or else you are really not understanding it, or learning anything. When it comes to understanding music theory, fret numbers mean nothing
Bro thank you so much. I’ve had the same problem. I know my triads well but didn’t really understand how to make music with them. This really helped out.
I must say this! Since I have been watching guitar tutorial on RUclips, today I found a true teacher, whom God has bestowed upon with the teaching Spirit. I am humbled by your teaching skills.
This is just such an extraordinary lesson. It teaches how it all works and fits together and MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! I don’t have vocabulary to express how great this is. Corey, thank you from the heart of my bottom! You’re truly a phenomenal player AND instructor. This is the stuff that makes one want to practice. So grateful.
Brother... the theory has been taught so many times before, but your approach and explanation around the theory is perfect. It's friendly and perfect. You're a great teacher and excellent to listen to.
So I discovered thru the years that I can mix major minor ( Am - C) but this lesson shoved me on off the cliff. Thanks so much for the stitches... Subscribed..
Great lesson Corey - opened a new door for me - kindly supplying the backing track meant I could immediately start working on the material - THANK YOU ! - you are the BEST
Welp, now there’s a new “best triads lesson,” and I just watched it. Can’t wait for more on this in Working Class Guitar. Thanks, Corey. This is why I love being a WCG MVP.
Another way of looking at this was introduced to me By Ian Scott who got it off Frank Gambale, who probably got it off someone totally great like Chick Corea. Learning about this opened the diatonic floodgates for me. Play the triads off the chord tones. What does that mean? Begin with the harmonised scale. For example, in C major the chords are: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bm7b5, C. You have to learn this series of chords and relate it to songs that use it eg You’re so Vain, Don’t Look Back in Anger: these songs use those chords. So, it’s jam night and you’re blues begins with Am7. The Am7 chord has the notes: A, C. E and G (notice the logic : thirds- you skip a letter eg A skip B then C etc.) Go back to your harmonised scale and you find you can play: Am, C, Em and G. Minor triad, major triad, minor triad, major triad… You’ve survived and you’re still in the jam and the band moves to Dm7, which has the notes D, F, A and C. Look at your list in the harmonised scale and you find you can play Dm, F, Am and C. Minor triad, major triad, minor triad, major triad. The band decides to play an F in your Am blues jam, just to throw you off. So you can play the triads: F, Am, C, Em… Play the triads off the chord tones. The band looks at you and they think you’ve had some guitar lessons. Or listened to Frank Gambale. Eric Clapton doesn’t know this shit and sells millions of records…
I remember doing this instinctively years ago. I thought of it as playing the inversions of the Am7 chord by alternately starting on the one, three, five and seven. It's a good way to begin to understand modal playing. Arpeggiate the one, three, five and seven and you're wailing in the Dorian mode. That's when shit gets interesting!
A mind-blowing lesson; thank you! But you've "spoiled" me: I've learned not to expect less, and you never disappoint. This goes well with your arpeggio course, which I'm thoroughly enjoying and would unequivocally recommend to anyone wanting to advance beyond the usual pentatonic noodling. Forza WCG !
I am at the point, I no longer envy, other players' tone. But you are still my main instructor. The master is still the master. If you strike me down now, I will not become more powerful than you can imagine. The Force is strong with you.
Great lesson. I watched the Larry Carlton video where he explained the super aroeggio when it came out in VHS tape! God I'm old. Anyway i was confused on moving through 5ths instead of using the third. Thanks for making this concept so much clearer! Plus I'll second Corey's. recommendation on the Larry Carlton video. It is a little dated production wise but Mr Carlton unloaded a wealth of knowledge in those lessons. Thanks again!
You've given me something to work on that will be fun and beneficial. Fun because it will be. Beneficial because I can use triads to learn where the notes are.
Corey you’ve become my favourite RUclips guitar teacher as you explain things in a clear and concise way whilst keeping it very inspiring. Many thanks from the UK brother! 🙏
I always come away from your video Iessons with something useable, and this Iesson is so intriguing I have to explore further. TY for aII you do Corey.
As a Teacher, it really helps a student to play triads differently on how they used to play triads. It also allow you to leave the blues comfort zone. You free others from pentatonic jail.
Those videos came out even earlier. I recall watching that Larry Carlton Hotlicks video over and over in 86 or 87. I couldn’t get enough of those concepts and they still sound fresh to me.
Best teacher you will ever run across. He did a Texas blues instructional series years ago, ( highly recommended ) I can play very legit SRV style because of Corey.
Corey I must say you not only a great guitar player and teacher a super human being for helping so many of us become a better player. Thanks for your contributions to the music community 😊
My pleasure!

Just like a magician showing his tricks...Great great lesson. Thanks Corey !
This is the best, functional approach to triads I've seen yet. Super digestible and immediately incorporate-able into my playing. Thanks!
Glad you think so. That was the plan!
Best triad lesson for breaking out of the box thank you!!!!
Once again, Thank you. Things like this make living in this world a better place. You rule Corey.
I'm completely stunned how good this lesson is...! Exactly what I needed. 🙏 Best wishes from Germany

You’re truly a phenomenal player AND instructor.
This is the stuff that makes one want to practice.
So grateful.
I often watch your videos and think: gosh, this is so simple! (Though it’s not..) Amazing how easy you make things look. Thanks!
Just the best jazz/blues teacher on the internet!! Fantastic approaches
What a fantastically musical lesson this is, thank you Corey! 🏆
Best Triad soling video I've come across, EVER.... Thank you, Professor! You really are a great teacher.
Really useful way to look at navigating, in key, and in many different places.
Practice, practice - "Practice!
Brother... the theory has been taught so many times before, but your approach and explanation around the theory is perfect. It's friendly and perfect. You're a great teacher and excellent to listen to.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent lesson. I teach and I’m a huge Larry Carlton fan, so this was gold for me. Thank you for taking the time to do it.
My pleasure!

Thanks for your playing. Great teacher. József Vilmann from Hungary.
Great lesson Corey - opened a new door for me - kindly supplying the backing track meant I could immediately start working on the material - THANK YOU ! - you are the BEST
Thanks so much Corey. No matter the theory you are sharing in your videos your chops and phrases in your demos are out of this world. So inspiring.
Amazing lesson, another "eye opener" that takes you to the next level!
THIS! Great lesson, Corey. Light bulbs going off over here! I'm looking forward to learning more. I appreciate your help! 🤙
I have listened to Larry Carlton teaching triads and was left behind. I got your lesson immediately. Thanks!
Astonishing! This lesson explained so much to me and took my playing a giant step forward. Thank you so much, Corey.🙏
Best lesson I've seen in a while. I tried it yesterday and my wife commented how good it sounded. Thank you!
Welp, now there’s a new “best triads lesson,” and I just watched it. Can’t wait for more on this in Working Class Guitar. Thanks, Corey. This is why I love being a WCG MVP.
Haha! Thanks my friend!
This was a great lesson and it’s so applicable everywhere
Oh man, I’ve been playing nothing but arpeggios for about 2 years, and you’ve just blown my mind... thank you
This is TREMENDOUS, Corey. Amazing stuff!
I woke up to the cacophony of dueling leaf-blowers. Your mellow organ track and magical triad tips just made my morning. Thanks, teach!

Really useful and classy lesson, with some great playing.
Very cool lesson, a real Pentatonic buster!
We usually see this as a Jazz practice routine but don't know how to apply it. Thanks to this video 😀
Great take on triads. Thanks.

Wow, no, never heard that done before. Great lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the great lesson, I have those same Larry Carlton DVDs, nice to get a refreshing lesson ..👍🎸
Amazing how fast you bring me to a next level! What a master of a teacher & not to forget player ❤

Eye-opening! Best triad lesson in YT yet! Thanks!
You've given me something to work on that will be fun and beneficial. Fun because it will be. Beneficial because I can use triads to learn where the notes are.
Love this! I know what I'll be practicing tonight.
My favorite instructor
SUCH A GREAT LESSON !
Thanks Cory😊

Great teacher with an incredible touch!
Wow, thank you!
Makes most sense to me too. Brilliant... Thanks 😊
Some things really clicked for me with how you presented the content on this video....Thank You Corey!
Really appreciate the lessons. Thanks!
Super smooth touch with finesse.
Very nice playing.
This is a phenomenal lesson. Love the triad to pentatonic idea. A++ really helpful for breaking out of the pentatonic or “chord tone” boxes
"And we didn't do this once." Great video...thanks Corey.
I like the way you explain things. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Great lesson Corey. Goes to the heart of how to use triads musically.
Hey Corey !Man im gonna call you now "Mister-Dissecter" .I've never seen this side of triad explained thorougly like you did .Ya the Goat Corey
Awesome concept. Thank you for your great way of teaching it!!
Corey you’ve become my favourite RUclips guitar teacher as you explain things in a clear and concise way whilst keeping it very inspiring. Many thanks from the UK brother! 🙏
Wow thanks!
Thanks a lot. That is great stuff to explore. Simply explained. This is progress.
I always come away from your video Iessons with something useable, and this Iesson is so intriguing I have to explore further. TY for aII you do Corey.
Great to hear!
Fantastic lesson. Thank you
It's an eye opener about triads for late beginners like me!! Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge.. Good day ✨
As a Teacher, it really helps a student to play triads differently on how they used to play triads.
It also allow you to leave the blues comfort zone.
You free others from pentatonic jail.
Corey, this should be a lesson on its own.
Great lesson Corey
Thx so much!
The proverbial Light Bulb just turned on. Thanks for leading us out of the darkness!
Wow !! Thanks for the lesson !!
Corey your channel is pure gold. So glad I have this content
Glad you enjoy it!
Such a lovely tone on that guitar.
Dang. Cracked windshield in the parking lot. LC is gold. Thanks,
Great lesson. Now it all makes sense. I still need to develop the skill to carry it off, but at least it makes sense now. Thank you.
Amazing lesson, thank you kindly for the upload
Corey, this is just so useful, thanks you!
Thank you for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Those videos came out even earlier. I recall watching that Larry Carlton Hotlicks video over and over in 86 or 87. I couldn’t get enough of those concepts and they still sound fresh to me.
Well that's what Wikipedia said and that must be right!
very cool, just learning to use triads, this is great. i definitely have not used triads this way.
No one opens their Git vid's with such style - or blaze - as you do. I'm subscribed.
Hey thx!
The late Garisson fewell talked about the triads and its possible extensions in his wonderful book
This is a great lesson!
This is one of the most ENLIGHTENING videos I’ve seen.
Nice work.👌🏻
Glad you liked it!
Great lessons, great playing, and incredible feel. Thanks Corey!
Excellent lesson 🙏
Awesome lesson! Thank you!!
This is the sort of material I want to take and work with it until it sticks in my soul. Awesome Lesson, Dr. C!!!
Great concept. I have never looked at it this way. Good stuff!
Glad you liked it!
Yeah Corey seems like a great guy, humble and a killer player. I enjoy his video gaffes as much as his chops😅
This is juicy!!! Love your TrueFire Hip Blues course too!
thanks!
Wow!! Thank you for this!
WOW finally someone explains it in layman terms! THX
Best teacher you will ever run across. He did a Texas blues instructional series years ago, ( highly recommended ) I can play very legit SRV style because of Corey.
