- 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!

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 should be in the operating manual for every guitar sold.
I've been listening to this video over and over while you got me playing my G chord scales and arpeggios. Such valuable time!
When I lived way up in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, Larium, Calumet AFB, Houghton...the ONLY day of summer was July 4th.
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.
I need as many lessons as I can get on triads and the double stops.
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!
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!
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.
Thanks Guthrie! Your emphasis on triads really helped me develop my playing.
Great to hear!
Cheers from New Orleans, GT. Your left-hand economy of movement is unreal. Thanks for the insights.
Much appreciated
No relief from the heat up here in Montana. 102 here yesterday! Thanks for another great video GT.
Guthrie, you rock man!! Old guy here. I'm learning good stuff from you thanks man, Happy 4th of July!
Thanks man!
Who knew three notes could sound so beautiful. Thanks for inspiring me to learn more about triads!
You're so welcome!
Greetings from the Upper Peninsula
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
Yikes 91 degrees here in Eugene OR today...hotter over the next few days.
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!
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!
Everything you play is so musical.
Thanks a bunch. I’m trying.
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!
It truly is a blessing to live in the USA. Thank you for the great lesson. Happy Fourth of July!!
Same to you!
I appreciate your shout-out to our vets! Happy 4th!
Same to you!
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!
You are opening the guitar so much for me in this latest series of videos. I’m finally starting to see how things connect. Great video/lesson! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and awesome talent!!
Glad to hear it!
New here but been watching a lot and working stuff out. Really great thanks so much. 👍🏼
You're so welcome!
Thanks for all you show us. I hit the tip jug
Glad it helped! And thank you!
Eddie you are a real American hero 🫡
Well GT..hot as heck down here in Corpus,...happy 4th bro ..tele in my lap...love getting to play with ya ..❤🎉
Thanks man!
THAT was a good lesson. Simple the way you put it and musical Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the nice 4th of July thoughts.. A lot of people have no idea how lucky we are...
Absolutely!
ive been learning my triads because of you! thanks!
Great to hear!
Great lesson! You're doing a really great job breaking down the fretboard and the chord / scale realtionship.
Thanks so much!
Another great lesson Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Happy 4th Guthrie! Gonna be grilling in the heat here too. Awesome lesson. Triads are not a fad 😂…love it!
Same to you!
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. 😂
I like the hat on top of the speaker, nice touch! Playing and lessons always good. Thanks!
Thank you too!
Spain in the euro cup semifinals!
Love your stuff!
Happy 4th!
God bless you all!
Thank you!
Happy fourth GT! I love your demonstration of these concepts on Monday nights at the Underground! 🎸
Glad you enjoyed!
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.
Per usual, great stuff. Thanks Trapp.
Thanks for listening!
HAPPY 4TH!!!! BROTHER!!! AND GREAT VIDEO!!! TRIADS ARE GREAT FOOL PROOF LICKS FOR GUITAR SOLOS!!!
Thanks!!
Great stuff!
Thanks, Guthrie!
My pleasure!
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!
Champ! lovely!
Thanks Guthrie and happy fourth! Triads continue to show me new things about the structure of music and the guitar and have opened up my playing immeasurably.
Thanks man!
Happy 4th brother!
Thank you for all you do!
God bless you!
Thank you!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I have been following you for about a month now. Also, I have only been playing lead guitar nice April. Just by watching your videos has opened my eyes so much. I will definitely be taking an online lesson with you very soon. Hope to meet you on my next trip to Nashville.
Awesome! Thank you!
Way cool Guthrie! Hope you had a most excellent Independence Day!
Thanks! You too!
I hope you had a great 4th of July...keep the guitar train rolling.
Thanks, you too!
Happy Independence Day, Guthrie. Thanks for your time teaching this lesson!
Excellent! Thank you! Enjoy the 4th...
Thanks, you too!
Happy Independence Day, Guthrie!! 🎇 God bless you, bother!! I've been really chewing on the Melodic Minor stuff from the last vid. The spelling of the Am Dm and E7 sound so good. This is the stuff that all the greats do. And your greatness is clearly evident in the way you play and teach this stuff. Thank you so much man!!
Thanks a bunch!
Happy 4th GT!
Thanks for the 3 finger boogie lesson.
Same to you!
You're awesome GT!
Thanks man!
I just love watching you play! Enough to take a 9 hour drive to Nashville from Iowa to see you play. On my list.
Please do!
Paul from New Zealand here. Love your guitar playing and your stories. I get glimpse of you and your life from the other side of the world. It's cool.
I live in the PNW, we’ve had an unusually cool spring but the heat wave just hit. gonna be a hot weekend but it’s about time! thanks for the holiday upload and lesson.
Coldest spring/early summer I’ve seen in eastern Washington.
Stay cool! Thanks man

Happy 4th to one of the G.O.A.Ts! Amazing lesson bud!
Thanks a bunch!
Great stuff Guthrie... trying to get it to become natural to my minor pentatonic brain!!
You can do it!
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.. . .
Aye aye thanks from the auldiscool...
Great lessen!!! Happy 4th to you and thank you vets!!!
Same to you!
Happy 4th GT man you were jammin on Dylan’s channel
Happy 4th bud!!!
Same to you!
Hello to young Tom! He knows who Matt Pike is so he’s pretty rad in my book!
All the stuff we glossed over in the Mel Bay books....Learn the fingerboard, make better music...simple!
Hey Guthrie i love your channel and I know it’s hot in Nashville but here in east coast of Canada, Nova Scotia it’s chilly 15 degrees my wife and I are heading to Nashville for the heat in August can’t wait hoping to catch you and uncle Larry
Sounds great!
Perfect : Stay cool man 🙂
Some of us are just weekend local wankers, but you are a student of guitar/music...PRO.
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!
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
More Minors!
58F here.
👏🙏
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!
👌 👍 🤪
🤘🏼🇺🇸
I live in Colorado and it's hot here too!
Maybe climate change isn't actually a hoax
It’s July cat.
Where to start? Great explanation and motivation. Thx!
Glad you liked it!
How do you know which shape to play for the key on that particular part of the fretboard. Like; I can figure it out but it takes a minute, I know the notes. I’m trying to figure out the way you’re looking at it. Once I get a ways away from the first shape, I have to count shapes from the initial shape. Like if I’m playing an a around the 7th fret, I know the 5th fret is a for the e shape, I then think “I’m 2 frets up so one shape, must be the f shape.” But if I’m trying it on the 10th or whatever, then I have to count etc.
Or are you looking at all the notes, you’re just looking for a, c#, e and you find them instantly?
@@TheBoomtown4I think the idea of the shapes is that you can get to the shape quickly from the root. What shape you use will depend on where you are on the fretboard and where the progression goes. All of the notes is something that you will eventually memorize. For this lesson the notes that you need to know for each shape of each chord that you use are the triads. The 1 3 & 5.
What I am getting from you direct question about the E shape leading to the F shape is that you may not be familiar with the CAGED system. In the caged system you would go from the E shape A chord to the D shaped A chord. If we keep going up the neck you would play the C shaped A chord. Then the next A chord would the A shape A chord. The idea is that there is a natural map of the C A G E D chord shapes that interconnect up and down the for any key.
For me to give you a 1000 foot overview let’s use full chord shapes. So that 5th fret A in the E shape has a 6th string root. There is a 6th string root G shape A chord behind that 5th fret 6th string root. Most people do not play the full G shape chord. But you can play the bottom of it and use it as a 4th string root A chord in abbreviated G shape. One step back and we are now at the A shape A chord in cowboy country. If you do not know the CAGED System I suggest that you work with these three simple moves in this A shape. I chose the A shape because that was what you had asked about. Eventually you will see the shapes as a shortcut between positions. So once you know the a shape you could begin to use all of the chords and move up thru all of the shapes. Here for example you would go further up the neck from the Fifth fret 6th string root E shape A chord to the 4the string root D shape A chord. And up the neck to the C shaped 5th string rood A chord. It all seems confusing because the name is CAGED and you can’t always start at C shape. But it just repeats. Here you asked about the E shape. So the next shape going up is D. Next shape E. Next shape C. There is no F shape the caged system.
There is a bit of jocularity that I will share after all of that. How do you put a condom on an elephant? Well you take the c out of cat and the f out of way.
But there is no f’(i)n way
And there ain’t no f’n way that there is an F shape in the CAGED system.
I am not up there yet. But that is my understanding of what we are learning today as it pertains to your question. I just try to think of the root first that is in the area of the fretboard that I want to be in. Then What the next chord/triad in the progression. Where these shapes fall on the fretboard will help me to determine what side of the root that I am working form. I already know the basic chord shapes. I have to stop and think when it goes to the seventh shape sometimes.
You have some work cut out. We all do. I f any of this was of assistance to you then the effort of writing was worth it.
@@erikthompson7341 it was indeed, thanks! Especially the elephant joke. And the part where you look from the route first and built the shape around. Thanks!
How about a chart onscreen now and then? It's 2024.
This is not by any means intended to be a full free course here on RUclips. I’m sure you’ve figured out how this works by now.. because .. it’s 2024 :)
Hey Guthrie, what gauge set of strings are you using? Rev BillyG would probably have 7's!
10-46 👍
Hey Guthrie, where do I find the Tip Jar?
Hey man. I saw your comment and wanted to help out.
You can find the links to the tip jug in the video information block just under the video. Expand it by hitting the "more" link and scroll down until you see "Tip Jug". I'm a little more than broke so if I've helped you find that tip jug I've done what I can to support Guthrie and this amazing channel. Take care.
@@StephenLewisfulthanks a bunch!
In the description section of each of these videos. Where the other links are. Thanks a bunch!
