You touch on something very important… not only knowing the key and shredding/noodling on the key scale but having an awareness of the exact vertical. Accented chord tones w/in a progression separates the boys from the men… especially in a dominant blues context.
This honestly makes it easier to play instead of just relying on the scale. I see now how people create unique solo lines. And now I look at the fretboard not worrying about what scale I’m in, now I’m looking at different triads shapes of the chords that are in the progression. Finally clicked. Thank you
This video is a real eye-opener for me for a few reasons. Thank you so much for breaking this down so succinctly. I'll watch this over and over until I totally understand it. Wonderful teaching.
Hi Chris I found this lesson very helpful, Very early in my studying Triads this lesson helped me find the Triads and inversions for Em C G and D triads I need to play over them again and again till it is stuck in my thoughts Thanks and looking forward to using 2 3and4 etc
@@smoothpicker so glad to hear! The more I do stuff like this the more automaticity gets programmed in and then it feels like I don’t have to reach so far to grab them. Keep me posted!
Fantastic job boss Love the clear visual tabs going along Might consider showing the tabs for your sliding and moving between ‘em c d g etc Excellent lesson Keep them videos comin
Intro sounds like something Mark Knopfler could have played! Very useful lesson and there is so much to take away from it! Would be nice to learn the licks you play at 00:12 and 00:40 also!
@@curiousguitarist Yes, seriously - the vibe is very much Knopfler and I had the whole tune in my head the other day - it is really catchy. When you say it is on Patreon, does that mean there is a video where you show how to play this little phrase or is it just tabs?
Thanks, Chris. I like the idea of APPLYING things in a musical way. Been working on one of my songs and I have a problem with the last phrase in the chorus of the song. I could just play a triad or maybe even play a 7th of on chord, by appegiating them. And most probably rephrasing the line (phrase) in a pattern different from the way the rest of the chorus came. Came as Raeggae. Hope this idea works. Thanks. I subscribed.
@curiousguitarist Thanks. Still actively working on playing guitar for the song, so I believe something will pop up soon. I really think I want to use a rhythmic variation to end the chorus. God help me.
Great video, I just recently started using triads to play leads. When playing leads should I be trying to going from the Do triad, to the Mi triad, to the So triad? I’ve been seeing the inversions as Do Mi So when learning triads and trying to understand how I should be implementing them in my playing.
I have been trying to use your applications and am slowly getting there. I am trying to flow from triad to "chords" to progress. My brain and fingers just are not working in coordination yet😂
07:00 when you target that note from the D chord when playing over the G chord do you pick that not within the bar of the G or at the 4 and right before switching to D?
That note (F#) occurs on the "and of 2" in the second bar...right before the D chord on the downbeat. That's commonly called an "anticipation". Hope that helps!
Awesome tutorial!!! What key/scale is this in? Is this triad chord progression all comprised of notes in a specific scale? I need to rewatch!!! Thank you. 🙏
The backing track is in the key of G and the key of G is created with the G major scale. The progression would be called a "vi - IV - I - V" in that key. Hope that helps!
By using the triads is it like playing an arpeggio of each chord tone as you move through the progression? I’m hoping I’m on the right track with this from a broader theory perspective.
So for me, this was the breakthrough video for triads. I had been memorizing the triads and their inversions in a standalone way before, and it never stuck in the guitar neck for me. I understood the construction and stuff no problem, but I was not internalizing it. After this I just started playing top 3 string triads over simple acoustic backing tracks then soloing. It really helped me learn the triads from a key perspective, knowing where each chord was in all the inversions from that angle. So I know where the I is and the ii, etc. And even keeping it simple, you instantly sound good soloing. This is my big inflection point.
@@BenBreeg1138 I’m honored to have been an inflection agent for triads! Your experience sounds idyllic really…pre application effort and work complete (training) and solid enough to leverage (performance) musically. Bravo I say! Bravo!
As a person studying triads, this is exactly the video I need. This will really help encourage me to focus on being a triad wiz. Thank you Chris!!
You're already there, John...this is just a new way of integrating them. Use this backing track and really work it out. Let me know how it goes.
As an exercise I take cords and break them down to all the triads that I can think of for that cord progression.

Great lesson, Chris
I always love how simple yet musical your ideas are. They always say something. Less is more.❤
Thank you! 😊
I really liked your breakdown of the cord because you used cord boxes so very easy to follow where to put down fingers 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your clarity. ❤️
@@SamuelLovesJesus you are welcome!
Wonderful examples you got here! Knowing all the triads is one thing, applying them in a meaningful way is super important.

I subscribe to probably 10 or 15 guitar channels. The others are valuable, but I think I always learn the most useful stuff from yours. Thanks Man.
@@Robert-fi9xl that means a lot to me, Robert. Thank you
Great demonstration of how to use and find triads in a lyrical way. Another winning lesson! Thanks Chris!
My pleasure! Thank you, Michael.
As usual Chris, you knock it out of the park...next lesson to work on!!!! Learning triads is the best!
Glad you enjoyed this one, triads are life :)
Thanks for all your support, Kevin, Mahalo!

Of course.
Great video Chris
Brilliant 🇬🇧🙌
Really helpful. Thanks Chris.

Glad you liked it, Tim. You can never drill triads too much :)
That's just not a thing!
Another great,
eye-opening lesson.
Thanks Chris.
You bet, David. So glad you enjoyed this one.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Got anything specific that you'd like to see me cover? I'm always looking for video ideas.
@@curiousguitarist How about string muting? Never seen a good video on that. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos. If you’ve done one, I missed it.
It would be good to see you do a bit more after teach, best video I have come across, made it very simple for me.
Great to have you here! I'm doing a ton of extra stuff here: thestudio.curiousguitarist.com/home
Harvest the triads!!!
HARVEST!!!

Yes, that is absolutely what's going on here, Joseph.
Lovely tone ...is it fuzz or normal amp in the edge of break up
@@nitinshet7717 thanks! it’s the Yamaha THR10 on “Lead” preset, maybe 80% gain, a touch of verb/delay…and of course this K-Line is incredible.
@@curiousguitarist thank you...I have a Solid state amp at the moment it's loud but cant get these effects ..still learning basics
Great lesson. Where can I find the backing track so i can practice what you just taught me Cant find it
