During the past year I learned all of the major and minor closed triads on all string sets because Adrian inspired me. Well worth becoming a Patron of this channel for the extras.
I'm a middle school teacher from Toronto Canada. I was hooked by your Gimme Danger guitar lesson and am trying your new series out. Thanks so much. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and your teaching tone/style is clear and easy to follow.
I am really valuing not only the exercises themselves, but that your structure has had me focusing more on my guitar than I would otherwise have done! I also appreciate that what you focus on comes from all your experience as a teacher and is tried and tested. Thank you Adrian! 👏
I've been playing guitar, self taught, for about a year, and I've been doing the first three exercises already. Helps confirm to me that I'm on the right track as far as what to learn. I'm stoked I found your channel. Looking forward to the rest of the month, thanks brother!
This is great - ta! I enjoy technique drills, it it’s so easy to get distracted with learning a fun song etc. Gotta eat your greens before desert tho! Especially when they’re this tasty!
I am very happy that I found your channel about 3 years ago Adrian. You are the first teacher who explained the importance of triads. In fact, yesterday, I was reviewing one of your old triad workouts. Only now learning how to use them semi effectively when improvising. But the work goes on. Health and happiness in 2025!
Check out some of Guthrie Trapp’s content from the past year. Nashville player. Triads are his lane. There was one (discussing CAGED as a “framework” I think) that was a real lightbulb moment for me. I went from barely understanding what triads were to being able to now see them and how to use it in a musical context. But yeah. This series is off to a great start. I’ll be here for all 30 for sure.
Again, happy that this is part of the challenge as it's something I have neglected to practice lately. Re-subbed on Patreon as a token little thanks. Cheers Adrian
I noticed there's also 3 separate places on the neck where all the triads in a key exist in a 4 fret distance, horizontally across the first 5 strings. For me, it makes switching between chords, scales, arpeggios in a key easier than jumping up and down the neck vertically, particularly if you already use the CAGED shapes. I don't think I've ever heard anyone explicitly point out these patterns, but I seriously doubt I'm the only one who's ever noticed that or uses it.
Thanks. Yes, I wanted to include some accessible, beginner-friendly things, but the difficulty level will ramp up quite a bit in the second half of the challenge.
Hi Adrian, at the end, you briefly touched on doing the triads on the other string sets; would it be by using the exact same patterns that you demonstrated in the earlier parts of the video? Thanks a bunch!
Liked and subbed. Thanks Adrian! This is getting me to practice those things I know I should be working on-but don’t. My ass will be planted here for ACPG 30.
Imagine you are playing the top three strings of the full fifth string root bar chord starting on C major in the pattern : Major, minor, minor, Major, Major, minor, half diminished
I was like that too a while ago, but I just kept watching Adrian’s video’s and one day it just clicked. Sean Daniel also does a lot of simpel triad videos that might help unlock it for you. Good luck!
@AdamHT thanx yes i ve been practising his cramps lessons and..that really opened up a lot..especially their little solos..as for triads..and theory its a slow long slog..i m learning all the scales and thats going great..
Really appreciate this series brother
Thanks Adrian. The 4-finger spider has now become my warm up routine.

Loving this series. Great idea and great content with manageable chunks and a challenge / goal to keep the interest / motivation. Well done.

Adrian showing us once again why subscribing to this RUclips channel AND supporting ACPG on Patreon are so worth doing and a tremendously great value.
This series is brilliant Adrian, I love your style of teaching. Thank you.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness and guidance. This is much appreciated.
this is a total blast, super helpful, and I hope a million people join in and follow along and watch all the ads
This is starting to look like a great things-to-practice for the coming year(s). Thank you!
Hi Adrian, thanks for the lessons, as always. I’m with you on the 30 day program. It’s nice to have a structure to work with.
I've been playing guitar, self taught, for about a year, and I've been doing the first three exercises already. Helps confirm to me that I'm on the right track as far as what to learn. I'm stoked I found your channel. Looking forward to the rest of the month, thanks brother!
Thank you so much for these! So much work putting these together, but they will be incredibly useful.
Thank you 🎸 so good method !
This is great - ta! I enjoy technique drills, it it’s so easy to get distracted with learning a fun song etc. Gotta eat your greens before desert tho! Especially when they’re this tasty!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Much appreciated. I’ll have to sit down and put 3-4 lessons together when I can but this is a solid idea on your part
Thank you for this series and taking the time to do this 😊
Superb Adrian. Thoroughly enjoying this and finding it very useful for meaningful practice👍👍👍
Bloody hell, Adrian, the world's biggest penny just dropped tonight! Thank you, sir.
That's an excellent exercise, and a new one for me!
Thanks, but yargh! You always show me how little I know about guitar playing! Happy New Year!
Still with you, keep it going!😊

@rcieszkowski I look at Guthrie. Sometimes his lessons are a bit above my level. But I am using them a lot more. Thanks.
Brilliant instruction!
Love it!
Thank you ❤

This is brilliant!! Thank you Adrian
Day 3 complete !!
Thanks Adrian My Brother 🎵🎶🎸👍😎
I like the monster above the amp. It reminds me of "the hills have eyes"

i do like this one
Thank you.
Here✋️
Really tight for my fingers on the last triad(telecaster) but this went better than yesterdays lesson.😂
Day 3.....and I'm still alone on this deserted island. I gaze across the see to the far horizon , pick up my guitar and gently strum some triads...
🤔… a little more challenging than the first two days (particularly the B diminished). But, I appreciate the exercise! Day 3 ☑️
Thanks. Yes, I wanted to include some accessible, beginner-friendly things, but the difficulty level will ramp up quite a bit in the second half of the challenge.

hello..please wich fingers go where please?

@AdamHT thats already way to complicated for me..
I was like that too a while ago, but I just kept watching Adrian’s video’s and one day it just clicked. Sean Daniel also does a lot of simpel triad videos that might help unlock it for you. Good luck!
@AdamHT thanx yes i ve been practising his cramps lessons and..that really opened up a lot..especially their little solos..as for triads..and theory its a slow long slog..i m learning all the scales and thats going great..
Sounds like you’re doing all the right things! Go for it!
I like this one doing it with all the different triad inversions also seems nice
❤❤❤
I'm still hanging in there. Of course, it's only day 3.
Them Triads sound like the same notes as rockin Around the Christmas tree Song by Brenda Lee
Will all 30 videos be put into 1 playlist?
Yes, I will certainly do that!
Nice one. Any update on ETA for your next course please Adrian? Happy nee year
lost me on this one. Why are these shapes important?
Completed day 1-2, doing 3 now!
👌🤘🖖🤙👍👏👏👏💪😊
