- Hey friends,
Happy Independence Day to you all!
I think this little video will really help you break down these big chord shapes and think in groups of 3. Triad chords on just 3 strings.
Everything repeats itself and there are tons of duplicate notes in all these big chord shapes.
Have fun with it and enjoy!

I built a triad-based playing style when I got a job in a really good country rock band back in the early 70's. I really didn't think I had the chops to survive, but just focusing on 3 note chords and solos based on those notes worked. It made a an intimidating job a lot easier and I could fake it until I got better. Throw in some tasty multi string bends and bingo .. everybody liked it. If you want to get better fast, just throw yourself out there where it's either sink or swim!
Great comment
I sure did that a few years ago and the saying was " poop or get off the pot" Amazing what you can do under pressure. No pun intended hah
Triads should be in the operating manual for every guitar sold.
Man I wish this stuff was around in the 80's ! my fingers dont work as well now, but I still try to play it like I mean it! Thanks!
I have to tell you I love your lesson’s and the investment you’re making in others. Yet when I stopped to take the time to actually listen to your music…wow! How incredibly inspiring and enjoyable to listen to!! Thank you! Wish I was close to Tennessee so I could see you play. Thank you Guthrie!!!
I appreciate that!
Few years back i taught my 8 year old boy triads from the beginning he's 11 now and he rips all over the neck... he learnt the rest all by himself but once he grasped the triad chord tones there was no stopping him... happy ID from 🇬🇧
Man, I wish somebody'd told me early on! Good for you.
When I lived way up in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, Larium, Calumet AFB, Houghton...the ONLY day of summer was July 4th.
hey GT ! i'm looking from vienna, austria. not rhe country with kangoroo...the land with Mozart. great stuff !! i wish you a happt 4th juli...have a good time !!!
I need to visit there soon. Land of my ancestors.
I've been listening to this video over and over while you got me playing my G chord scales and arpeggios. Such valuable time!
I’d give my left arm to be able to play that “sloppily” for just an hour😂
How would you play without your left arm?....
Pretty sure you need two arms to do that
Maybe give a pinky and you could still manage
Or just practice more 😉
Consider a toe instead. 😂
Well GT..hot as heck down here in Corpus,...happy 4th bro ..tele in my lap...love getting to play with ya ..❤🎉
Thanks man!
Who knew three notes could sound so beautiful. Thanks for inspiring me to learn more about triads!
You're so welcome!
To anyone that may not fully understand,..What Guthrie is teaching here is probably the single most important element in guitar playing.
He is definitely among the top 1% in the business of guitar playing and knowledge.
Thanks a bunch man. I pride myself on knowing where I fit into the food chain around here, but thanks for the kind words. I’m just scratching the surface here, but a good ear has been my strong suit. Thanks again, man!
Cheers from New Orleans, GT. Your left-hand economy of movement is unreal. Thanks for the insights.
Much appreciated
Thanks Guthrie! Your emphasis on triads really helped me develop my playing.
Great to hear!
It was still hot up in Montana but I was down in Nashville and y'all got the real humid heat! 😮
It truly is a blessing to live in the USA. Thank you for the great lesson. Happy Fourth of July!!
Same to you!
Cool. The last few years I have really been working on all the modes of the Major scale as well as utilizing any number of strings to create texture in my music. I haven’t really dug into triads as you have explained them. I really like the idea of utilizing inverted triads and I think that is just the ticket to furthering my progression. Hey, I may even start to sound like I know what I’m doing 🤘😎🤘
Spain in the euro cup semifinals!
Love your stuff!
Happy 4th!
God bless you all!
Thank you!
Guthrie, you rock man!! Old guy here. I'm learning good stuff from you thanks man, Happy 4th of July!
Thanks man!
Honestly, this has blown my mind. Being able to work triads and chord tones into and around the pentatonic stuff I've been playing to this point has made all my soloing sound so much better. I felt completely stuck in blocky style until I watched this.
Thanks, Guthrie
Probably your best lesson yet. For Triads at least. I always seem to find the perfect lesson to get me motivated again. Thanks and happy 4th
Great to hear!
HAPPY 4TH!!!! BROTHER!!! AND GREAT VIDEO!!! TRIADS ARE GREAT FOOL PROOF LICKS FOR GUITAR SOLOS!!!
Thanks!!
made me listen to big Bandter watching video
Thank you for the nice 4th of July thoughts.. A lot of people have no idea how lucky we are...
Absolutely!
G Man I have spent at least 20 hours this week on tis lesson. I stayed home last night, might havew got lucky! Biut the truth is man this has changed my game. Right place.at the right time . Thank you for this . Im there..... Its amazing hiw it all fits together and i finakky see it..
Dude,I really appreciate what your doing,I love your melodic guitar style and you seem like a really cool guy,thankyou man
I appreciate that!
Triads were an enormous breakthrough for me many years ago for both rhythm playing and lead solo playing as well...it increases your visual knowledge of the fretboard quickly and drastically.
Also 1st and 3rd intervals (major and minor)
1st and 6th,..Obviously 1st and 4th and 1st and 5th. Even 1st and the flat 5th is useful.
It's funny that most refer to these as "double stops" except the 1 and 5. It then becomes a "power chord"
Exactly! It really does help immensely.
New here but been watching a lot and working stuff out. Really great thanks so much. 👍🏼
You're so welcome!
Brilliant. That one lesson could keep you going for most of your guitar life and you still make it musical and in context. Love that wee G to G7/F to C clever stuff.
Thanks so much!
ive been learning my triads because of you! thanks!
Great to hear!
Thanks for all you show us. I hit the tip jug
Glad it helped! And thank you!
Eddie you are a real American hero 🫡
THAT was a good lesson. Simple the way you put it and musical Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great lesson! You're doing a really great job breaking down the fretboard and the chord / scale realtionship.
Thanks so much!
This is gold. I am like most people very busy but just watching your videos and even you just talking about life is refreshing in this crazy world
I appreciate that!
Happy 4th of July to you and yours 🙏🏻🤍
It's a little warmer in the Pacific Northwest this weekend. Thankful for working air conditioning
Appreciate the music and the lessons, as always. Something to keep working on, for sure
Be good to you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Another great lesson Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
No relief from the heat up here in Montana. 102 here yesterday! Thanks for another great video GT.
I LOVE triads. My playing is so much better now that I've focused on triads. I can now see the scales around the triads more easily and can connect one triad to another via the scales and chord tones around them. I just wish I was taught and understood this so many years ago. Thank you GT for pushing the basics that get us all to a better place in our playing!
Great to hear!
Yes Happy 4th To You As Well.. We the wife and i, = saw You Last Night ON T.V. = In The Band With "Billy Gibbons". You and the whole band "Sounded Great". and that girl on drums was Fab. She did Really Good.Very Young Too.. . interesting How Billy was talking about Marshalls and Now Magnatones for his Amps.. . Those amps cost a pretty penny too as well. i still have my Marshall half stack from 1977 I think it was. along with all my fender amps from my 1961 Blonde showman with a JBL-d130 and my 1969 Dual Showman with reverb with 2 JBL D- 140's that Chuck Berry played thru back in Aug. 1989 here in Phoenix, Az. also my all original 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb. plus a lot more fender amps with JBL D-Series speakers in them too as well. I really love your guitar playing style and The Way You Are Able To Explain & Show & Teach Us All weather we are playing 1 week or 53 years like myself with years and years of Professional LIVE Gig Experience Under My Belt. "Bless You" For All That You Do For Us. = Right on!!. Stay Safe & Heathy. and Thank you Kindly, =Mike in Phoenix, Az.. . .
Happy 4th Guthrie! Gonna be grilling in the heat here too. Awesome lesson. Triads are not a fad 😂…love it!
Same to you!
I appreciate your shout-out to our vets! Happy 4th!

Thanks for your lessons and examples! I can see it on your fret board and hear it as you're playing, lots of practice ahead for me to do it though 🙂. Really appreciate you sharing 👍. Oh, did you say it was HOT? I'm from Phoenix...everywhere else is cold, LOL! Happy 4th!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Lesson

Same to you!
This is awesome mate.
Great stuff!
Happy 4th of July, GT!
Yeah, I love the fact that I was born in this country.
I'm starting to explore your website and so forth, to get to know you better, from more than these videos.
Maybe you're interested in this new campaign I'm starting (gotta get some boba fide musicians behind it, lol). Ok, here it is:
Y'know how some ppl just rile (rale?) about the "CAGED system?"
Well, it is what it is. As you know, as long as you tune a guitar like it is, those relationships are gonna be there!
But peeps just don't unnastan it. Sometimes even in the comments they make, they write about it like 'caged.'
I used to think they were just being lazy, not using capital letters to indicate the chords, but I'ma startin' to think that THEY think someone's tryin' to cage 'em up!
But it becomes a mental block.
But ya can't deny what's there, and still try to learn to play! I mean, even if you ignore it, those relationships are STILL there!
And we can't spell it any other way, cuz that's the relationship 'tween the chords.
So I'm thinkin' maybe we just need to drop the D off the end (cuz it's just a 'chopped-off C'), and then it's just CAGE.
Well, the thing about a cage is, if we think about all the meanings, it's NOT just something that traps you inside!
No, sometimes it's a framework to mount things onto. (An instrument cage (electrical instrument), a light cage, switch cage, etc).
Or it can be a scaffold to use, to build on, and to reach new places!
D'ya see where I'm goin' with this?
A paradigm shift for peeps with mental blocks against "being caged up" in a "philosophy" they don't understand, and refuse to try. Cuz (as you know), it's NOT a philosophy, it's just a way of describing the way the specific chords fit together, so that no matter where yer playin' on the fretboard, you can access the next chords, triads, diads. As you know.
Anyhow, that's my spiel.
😊
Keep havin' fun and doin' good stuff. And playin' music, of course!
Glad to hear you're doing the Collector's Edition.
Have a good rest o' the day!
👌 👍 🤪
More Minors!
Aye aye thanks from the auldiscool...
Champ! lovely!
58F here.
👏🙏
it's almost like even if you don't know every note and every fingering position for every key, if you know the triads and the improv knowledge/experience around each triad - you'll be able to at least play what's in your head
