Your comment about landing on a triad note during a solo was helpful. I quickly internalized it and realized I could land on a chord tone in a "simple to see in the moment" triad which, for me, is more easy to "see" than a whole bar chord. Sweet.
I wish I had known about triads years ago, I was actually playing them often without even knowing. The difference being I didn't know or understand the theory behind them or how to build on that knowledge. After watching a few of your videos on the subject my knowledge of the fret board is so much better and had I known this stuff 30 years ago I would have been a much better player as they sound more musical to me than scales.
Same!! I’ve been playing many years and always just thought i had to bar the entire freight board. Then i watched the amazing guitar player in the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense film, and knew i needed to learn triads.
As always, Brian makes the difficult simple and the unmanageable manageable. And everything is wrapped up in beautiful melodies, interesting transitions and practical examples. Another great lesson that helps.
A great summary. I've been working on Simon Candy's video on the same subject and this compliments it beautifully.
As a 50 year beginner, I've been trying to understand how competent guitarists find those notes all over the fretboard. Now I understand.
1. Learn your cowboy chords.
2. Learn the CAGED system.
3. Plug in the triads, understand each root.
4. Improvise!
Thanks Brian from England 🇬🇧
Excellent. Fretboard diagonal . Love it and you explained it so well. Thx ❤
Glad I stumbled across this lesson on Google. First time seeing you and your lessons. This is probably the most informative lesson I have ever seen by anybody. I’m used to just being taught songs from mostly all other people and you break down the theory. Thanks so much! I wish I would’ve known this years ago.
There are goldmines in this channel every week. Almost zero fluff that is not educational, a great example of what RUclips can be
Thanks Brain, it was really eye opening and turned on a lightbulb for something I had been confused about visualizing triads across the fretboard.
Great as usual I must up grade back to premium as you do give serious value for money and you clearly put a lot of work in this channel thanks Brian I’ve learned so much from you and it appreciated.. cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪 Brian 🎸🎸
I just did the same ten minutes ago.
One of the best lessons of the year !!!!!!!!!!!
Being a person who has predominantly played chords/rhythm- this is such a useful lesson, in expanding my chord sounds and also improvising some cheeky little lead fills too. Bravo Brian and Thanks!
Very good. My eyes didn't glaze over the way they usually do whenever someone starts talking music theory, scales, interval's, inversions, so on and so fourth. I either fall asleep or just can't take anymore and switch over to watching something else. It's difficult to make Guitar playing unenjoyable but some folks have a real knack for it. Not you however. I actually watched the entire video and learned something. Thanks.
Brian, you're one of the best Guitar Pegagogue. This lesson is a lightbulb for me and it gives me space and orientation on the fretboard. Again, thank you for your passionate work, week after week.
Another outstanding lesson. I liked the way you tied the triad shapes to the caged system chord shapes, very logical and easy to follow and understand.
Nice! Just right to put together a lot of different concepts about working the fretboard. Thank you Brian
The fretboard has now become even more navigable because of these triads thanks Brian! Btw that sliding into the triad is a great sound and technique. can't wait wait to bust that out at the next campfire.
Love ❤️ your lessons; I’ve learned more with you than all previous lessons combined. Great job 👏
Always a gangbuster lesson, Brian!
I'm only a minute on, but I'm looking forward to learning more embellishments from triads.
Also m looking forward to your system of organizing them.
You're right, playing triads changed everything for me, too!
Keep it up!
👌👍🤪
You’re a GREAT teacher. I’ve been a student of yours for years now. You offer the information as a concept to study and then apply later. This approach works for me, as opposed to learning things note for note without understanding the musical logic behind it. Thanks for all that you do.
Love your lessons Brian
The best thing on RUclips
Thanks Brian, love this lesson. Been working on Triads recently & this was perfect timing for me. Now off to the members area for part 2 👍
i had some light-bulb moments and enjoyed this lesson on triads:)
Best explanation of triads I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing
I am back to add a note of discovery. The triad shapes on the d-g-b strings carry over to some open tunings. Open G and D and C each have a triad of strings that are in the same relative tuning. (The 5, 1, and 3 inversion - and also on standard G tuning banjo). The triad is on a different set of strings depending on which open tuning (e.g. C tuning the first, second and third strings). But it’s there. Arpeggiating and adding some chromatic stuff can open up some ideas in these tunings. I often play with a short slide that allows me to finger frets as well as slide. It also gives you the opportunity to have more chord voicings than just a straight slide-across-the-fret one. I’ve been having fun all day with this triad set in open D.
Another great lesson Brian. Looking forward to part two. Really appreciate your work
Great stuff, Brian!
Always on point with where I am in my learning journey!
I've been playing around with triads lately, and their embellishments.
What I haven't figured out yet is how to relate the pentatonic shapes to the triads...but that's probably because I never learned all 5 pentatonic shapes.
That's what I'll be working on next, is how to relate those 5 shapes to the 5 CAGED shapes, since I already figured out how to relate the CAGED shapes to triads.
This just helps me to cement it all in my brain, so I can do it automatically.
Can't wait to watch Part 2.
👌 👍 🤪
Love this lesson. Really helpful with understanding caged system
It was at the end of the video, when you played free. I feel like I owe you a cover price for hearing that. I love the way you play. Thanks Brian.
Great lesson. So glad to find you. 🎸❤️😎
Hi Brian love the way you declutter chords, chord tone knowledge which makes it so much easy to digest and implement in soloing immediately albeit with a bit of internalizing what you taught by rewinding your video. Always 'big takeaways' in all your lessons. Profoundly grateful once again Brian.
Really enjoy your lessons. This info is really helpful
Gotta admit: I love triads!
WOW, fantastic lesson! I'm an intermediate player and this kind of information is really what I need to break out of being limited to Johnny Thunders and start playing some of the other things I like playing 50s/60s country western and rockabilly. Little by little, it's coming together. Your lessons are so practical and ready to apply. Thank you for what you do!
Very helpful lesson.Thank you Brian. Greetings from mathias / mathiasmusik, germany.
I value and appreciate greatly the information you share. Thank you very much.
Excellently simplified ❤
This is the clearest, most understandable video I've yet to find on this subject which has been lurking in my mind as the next step forward for me. Thanks, looking forward to part 2.
This video has expanded my triad info. I had to work out the upper and middle triad shapes when I got a tenor guitar (tuned in standard guitar tuning). I carried these to the 6 string guitar. They really helped me to get out of first position and big barre chords.
Awesome lesson, thanks!
Good Stuff Groovy Dude! Stay Well!
Thanks Brian. This is really useful.
Love all this guitar stuff! Learned that guitar music sounds good thru a guitar and amp!!
Great lesson!
Great 👍 lesson, definite breakthrough territory’s form, thanks 🙏
thanks great lesson love triads
Another excellent lesson Brian
Thanks Brian! I've been playing with triads recently. This lesson, plus the embellishments will really help me.
Very enjoyable. Looking forward to embellishments video.
Very good lesson about triads love it Do more triads lessons Brain
Great lesson as usual. I sort of knew most of it but you pulled it all together and very clear. Not only a great teacher but a phenomenal guitar player with a wonderful feel and touch.
Great lesson, it really opened my eyes. Thanks
This stuff is so key. You did a great video on triads just before Christmas and learning that material down basically taught me how to play guitar (to the extent that I can!)
Great lesson! I just 'discovered' triads and have been trying to work them out - and discovered this lesson at the perfect time to pull it all together!
Great lesson
Great lesson as always, thank you Brian!
Very informative and excellent lesson
Great lessons thank you so much
Really good lesson! Thanks!
Great video, can't wait to hear the emblishments...loved the blues part.
Great learning tools. Perfectly applicable to any key and great for putting a solid foundation to your understanding of songs and tunes
Really really good
Thank you, Brian, I have been enlightened!
Very good thankyou.
Wow, best lesson I’ve seen on RUclips. Thank you
great lesson ..😊
thank you so much !
Hi Brian, a really useful lesson. I know the theory, but you have made it practical and I can now better see the link between the cords and how a few embellishments can make it all much more musical.
Well explained, glad I stumbled upon your channel. Will check out more
💡thank you
OMGosh breakthrough i reckon!
Good stuff. Now sit down and memorize it
Thanks Brian. Light bulb s😅 . It's funny it's like I walked into the lite room aha..
And almost immediately open door 🚪 into the dark... I am growing. Feels good.
The Clapton Pilgrim's period look 😄
Great explanation, this really opens the fretboard for me! One question, how is the root bote determined? I assumed it was the first/lowest note, so when a chord is inverted, how do you confirm what chord it truly is?
Just yet another class lesson full of info and light bulb moments. Buy the way glad you liked the Gibson picture I sent you it’s in our local store in the wonderful city of Bath Somerset U.K already looking forward to next week’s. Thank you Brian.
That is an excellent guitar!
Knowing where the third of the triad is is useful, so you can go from major to minor and back again.
Knowing where the fifth of the triad is is also useful, so you can turn your major triad into a sixth triad!
Although I understand what Bryan is saying I can see why it took me so long to attempt playing that way ...I got the sense of the triads back in 1996 I think when I lived in Tampa Florida ...but I didnt keep the practice up...when I see a guitarist playing its difficult to see what chord is holding at any time .....sometimes it doesnt look like a chord at all ....and its confusing to know where hes at........
Brian, it seems that the muting of the 1st when playing 2-3-4 is never discussed. Please do
Great lesson. When you slide into a new triad are you sliding into the root note?
not necessarily - you can slide into any of them
This was a very helpful lesson. I came for it and stayed for the sound of that guitar. What brand and model is it?
1948 Martin 000-21
Hi Brian how much is full membership
Seeing is believing
Do you have to be aware of the backing track chords when jamming with it or would playing any of the triads sound equally as fine at any point in the backing track?
You need to be aware and match them with the chords
I’m struggling with knowing where the root is on the higher strings. For instance it’s hard for me to quickly locate where a G is on the 2nd string.
The lesson i was waiting for... every video taught the triads... but never taught how to use it...
Maddening how it’s all hiding in plan sight.
Great lesson…I am confused about when you went to the example and started playing the Bmin…where did that come from? You were showing us the 6 examples of G chords, then you start getting into the progression without explanation ( I do get that because of what you explained we can figure out what the chords should be but you kinda just jumped from the six versions of G triads to the progression…sorry I guess I am slow )
I showed the B min in multiple spots - give me a time stamp of what you're referring to and I'll show you where in the video I explained how to do it.
12:04
You explain it about one minute later
@@mikechun4734 I explain it at 5:35
Why don't we teach beginners triads. Really opens up the fret board.
This technique is how Jimmy Page plays Stairway To Heaven. This is also how David Gilmore starts to build his solos.
I dunno. When you say E shape it actually looks like the C shape to me. Like the basic C chord we all know
Liking the sound of this tutorial. Just one thing is jarring - your use of the word unison - “In music, unison is two or more musical parts that sound either the same pitch or pitches separated by intervals of one or more octaves, usually at the same time.”
Guessing you simply mean “played at the same time”?!
barre chords..im out
There are no barre chords in this
All you RUclips teachers talk WAY too much. Play it Show it.
No ones making you watch.
it's a free video with no ads and i have chapter markers on the video - good lord man
Great lesson!
barre chords..im out
Great lesson !
