Wow Rick - what a great lesson! This really opens up the fret board & presents the guitarist with countless opportunities for expression. A super learning tool as well. Thanks! Dilip
My gosh. This is so helpful. My secondary instrument is guitar and I’ve really been struggling to master the fret board. You’re amazing Rick. Thanks for this!
Can anybody explain the magic Rick makes in his head at 3:22? He goes from describing simple triad inversions to complex chord formulations with no context. "You need to be familiar with these to go through any type of chord progression". How does get get from simple triad to Emaj over G#?
Hi Rick! First thanks again! Really appreciate your work for the world! Am working hard learning with you. I'm never live and I discovered your videos a few days ago so I have so much catching up to do. I am a pro opera singer and vocal technique coach but I also love busking for a living with my fav songs in 5 languages for 4 years now and I am a self taught guitarist... kind of a chords strummer like barres in reggae and getting more complex always. went to Temple as voice major but was such an arrogant idiot I kind of did the minimum in aural theory; so I can catch up with you now :-))) You are amazing! I love you! as universal love hey? no confusion:-))) thaaaanks soooo muuuch!!! If ever you want to do like a vocal technique session, I am offering it to you. I've worked with the greatests and had my breakthrough with total vocal freedom so I CAN teach of my own experience, like you I guess. Blessings !!!!
This I perfect I play cello and this is the closest I can relate to guitar. Playing 5th playing closed is difficult if not impossible unless arrpegiated this helps alot because spread voicing is defalt on strings
As much as I love rick I am absolutely baffled by this. It would appear that I have to know the names of all the notes on the fretboard and all the basic triads before I can do this yeh? It would be great if you told us what we had to know before attempting something like this?
Thanks for the lesson. Tgis is definitely an area i need to work on. Wondering if you used delay or slap back reverb on this. Just curious. I'm a bass player, trying to expand into jazz guitar. Im not versed in effects or etc.
Nice practice strategy - but I'm a little slow sometimes - how do spread triads differ from regular triads and inversions? Is it because they don't use adjacent strings? Also, its amazing to me that this video was created a few years ago - and I am just now finding it - is there a disconnect with the youtube algorithm that makes it hard to find great videos like this until the popularity of the channel surges?
Not sure if you still need to know this but spread triads are also called open voiced triads. It's where one or more notes in the triad are raised an octave. So you have 1-3-5 but 3 and/or 5 can be up an octave. So it skips over strings and changes fingerings way more than normal closed voice triads which are all in the same octave. The different inversions come from which note is the lowest note. First inversion is 3-5-1 and second inversion is 5-1-3 etc.
I feel bad saying it because I can see how awesome this is. But if you haven't learned much theory this is baffling. There's no context, it just assumes you know a good bit or this won't make any sense
This didn't explain anything to me? how is ...you can play it here, here , here or here. explaining anything. How can i work out what a spread triad is. I want to be able to work them out not just know that i can play it here here or here. I watched your as much guitar theory in an hour vid. I get everything up to spread triads. i can play all cowboy chords, barre chords power chords. i understand the pentatonic scales in relation to chords being played. But i have no idea how you work out a triad from scratch other than just picking three notes from a chord that sound nice together. I was hoping this video would help. you just say things like lets starting with the first availble one on guitar which would be the notes......... what?????? there's no explanation.

Dilip
Claps👏👏👏
Great lesson Rick!
It's not easy to find guitar lessons about spread triads.
Love that
shimmering guitar tone!
My gosh. This is so helpful. My secondary instrument is guitar and I’ve really been struggling to master the fret board. You’re amazing Rick. Thanks for this!
Heres where the channel took flight
Love these videos, Rick! Truly a great teacher!!
This was really helpful! I'd love more guitar videos!
This guy makes everything look difficult
yup. Doesn't explain much. Great if you have been playing awhile. Otherwise not
This is awesome Rick!
Were you thinking of Radiohead at 3:30 ish? I know you're a fan - reminds me of Scatterbrain
Actually, I think it's "You Light Up My Life," followed by pieces of "Could This Be the Magic!"

Young man Beato in this vid
Great lesson. I really dig how this opens things up.
Glad to see a guitar lesson Rick :D
really useful lesson! this is what i looking for in this moment.
Man I fucking love those chords / that chord progression you play about half way through.

Outstanding!
Very helpful video!
That first ECG chord instantly made me think of "pull me under"
thank you rick!
I'm late to the party here, but anyway... this is very insightful and adds a mayor advantage to my my practicing routine.
Remember you can play these in reverse order.Mix it up.
Low high,high low.
thanks rick! been waiting for some guitar magic :-)
Thanks for the lesson. Tgis is definitely an area i need to work on. Wondering if you used delay or slap back reverb on this. Just curious. I'm a bass player, trying to expand into jazz guitar. Im not versed in effects or etc.
Thanks for instruction!
these are really basics that are easy to discover and learn if one goes through all the possible string combinations
The PDF has been removed?
So with standard & Eb tunings, playing a barre chord with just the first 4 strings will give you an inverted spread minor 7th chord?
Hey Rick🙂. I saw a video of your morning triad excercice. Now i cant find it. What is the name?
I think this is what Eric Johnson does alot. He even does it with sus2 chords.
Nice practice strategy - but I'm a little slow sometimes - how do spread triads differ from regular triads and inversions? Is it because they don't use adjacent strings?

Radiohead and Blonde Redhead vibes all the way.
did your patreon page get taken down?
where in the Beato book 3.0 is the spread triads
The pdf link is not working. Any chance of you fixing it as it is difficult for me to follow the lesson without the pdf.
I recognise that sound. Used by Radiohead.
Rick where can I get this pattern?
This sounds like what Jesse Crawford School Theater Organists call Open Harmony.
Lotta Ben Monder in this one.
Hooray we guitarist can do something sax players can't! Mwahaha
😂😂😂
spread triad & open voicing chord . are they same ???
Yup
First time I heard that word spread. I have heard open triad or closed triad. Open chords or closed chords.
Is it just me or did he actually not explain what a spread triad is?
I feel bad saying it because I can see how awesome this is. But if you haven't learned much theory this is baffling. There's no context, it just assumes you know a good bit or this won't make any sense

pdf's don't seem to be available. Hard to use this without a transcription.
You have ears and a guitar, right?
So are spread triads just inversions? Or am I over simplifying it?
Yes. But you skip a string thus the word spread
i still cant figure out what a spread triad is
