Wow Levi, thank you so much!!! What an awesome lesson, it really helps a lot! Exactly what I needed as a first step in my journey!.
😂😂👌👌🧑👌
This is a huge boost in my guitar playing after learning pentatonic scales. This is an incredibly helpful video thank you so much, I sound so good!!
@Memerinos how’s it going now
Hey Levi, it would be swell if you wrote a book focused purely on triads, or even a series going from beginner to advanced from learning to cover the neck in triads to advanced improvisation techniques using triads. I really like your teaching style. Thanks for the videos.
Great video. Funny story for you...When i moved to Nashville, TN in 2000, I asked a very well known guitar player for one tip..He said "learn triads". I've talked to him throughout the years and as a parting question, i ask him for another tip, he laughed and said "power chords"
I found a great way to breakout of patterns is to learn to play the melody of songs. It trains you ear to find the notes on the fretboard.
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you. A triad of thank yous, Levi!
THIS is EXACTLY what I've needed. This content is what has been lacking from other authors (who are amazing in their own right, don't get me wrong here). I've watched so many of your videos already and have found myself asking, where has this teacher been in all my years of struggling to understand these concepts. Holy cow!!
I am pausing everything else I am using cause this lesson is exactly where I am at and need. I was literally explaining this to my wife this process and just found this video. Thank you so much!
I really like how Levi teaches!he never rushes anything like a lot of lick library teachers and other!!I appreciate your lessons! I'm on the "mastering the blues" series. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much Erik. I have a passion for education, it’s not just a paycheck as it is for many
@@LeviClay I can tell!!it really shows.
16:00 “sorry, I played again the minor third, from minor to major. It’s a habit, it’s called making music…” priceless!!
Awesome and overall UNDERSTANDABLE lesson boss...
Thanks great playing and good audio and video quality
Holy moly this was one of the best videos on moving past the Pentatonic box. Using a simple form triad/arpeggio and into the major pentatonic was smooth and very helpful. It also explained to me why the 2nd and 6th sound so good being in the maj pent. Thanks kindly Levi you really hit it out of the park with this video.
This is a great lesson. Thanks Levi. Triads are the one thing that will clear up allot of the confusion and anxiety regarding the Modes. If we learn triad harmony in the given key it can reveal the patterns that are hidden..... we open up a myriad of improvisational options.
I was definitely not expecting to gain such an understanding of the modes when learning triads, but it is true.
Hey Levi! I have been searching the Tube for years, but I don't believe I have ever seen this topic so superbly, clearly, patiently, understandably, professionally and inspirationally presented as you have done here! And in such a pleasing and absolutely mellow fashion! I am HOOKED! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I am looking forward to checking out all the other lessons!! I feel like you have opened up a number of new "Doors" for me today!! This really seriously resonates with me in every way! Thanks again Levi, and I wish you one of the very best years you have ever had! You just got mine off to a VERY GOOD start!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words Cliff! I’m here if you need me
Thank you for this. Felt like this gave me insight into how Jerry Garcia approached the fret board.
Thanks Levi. I bought your recent book on Triads...working through it at the moment.
For me the key was the constant downward picking during chord tone improvising. I was watchin your picking for the chord tone improvising and u always used downward picking then switched to alternate for scales and pentatonic. Can’t explain it but it worked like a charm for me. Great lesson thanks
I can explain it! When I started learning gypsy jazz and studied the picking I understood that downstrokes pushing inward into the guitar give you a shit ton more bass and projection to the note - so now I use downstrokes whenever I'm emphasising a melody.
Subscribed. Excellent teaching. Sliding that minor third to Major will be good way for me to remember where the dang thirds are to begin with.
Bingo! It’s works! Thanks for checking it out Brian :)
Levi - Great job man. Love your work and playing!
Good stuff man...The whole getting from arp's and triads to melodies is EXACTLY what I've been looking for...Rock, and or twang, on man! Thanks...
Very nice, this is exactly what i'm looking for. I want to play chord while soloing
This definitely got me going...I am sounding like jazz now after watching this. Thanks so much.
Great lesson building a foundation and learning the guitar neck.will help in all styles of playing.
Also developing ur ear
I just came to see your Gattoncaster, those pickups really make that Danny sound!😍🤩
It’s magic
Thank you, this just what I've been looking for to advance my playing!!
You’re welcome Russell!
Thank you very much! Your lesson really helped me to connect the dots) now I know in what direction to swim! And, btw, I like how you explain things - so close to reality, profound, and not too wordy. You are a cool teacher :D
Great lesson. This precisely what I need to be working on.
Wow, very knowledgeable, pleasant voice and easy on the eyes. Subscribed. I'm getting my shell pink bullet strat tomorrow :)
"If you ask me to play it again I can't. It's come and gone now"
I keep doing that! I play something cool and then can't remember what I did the next day or week.
I'm only 6 months in to learning so far from stuck in a few year rut. But I can see how it starts and can happen. Everything I end up with always has a similar sound no matter where I play on the neck.
Thanks for the lesson man!! Always appreciated! When I practice I always throw in some triads for the last 1--15 min to mix it up a bit. Still training my hands on pentatonic and diatonic scales and memorizing all the notes on the fret board. MIndlessly boring. BUt necessary as breathing. It's amazing how from one day to the next I can see improvement in speed and accuracy each time I play.
Clays books are excellent
Thank you.
Thank you
Love your channel. Such great advice.
Thanks Levi, just started getting into this and your video is excellent. Cheers mate!
You’re very welcome
Odd comment, but... the combination of that pick, amp settings, and (what the heck are those double rails?!) give such nuance to the attack! I'm really enjoying that texture!
Those are Danny Gattons pickups by JBE electronics
You are a great teacher, thank you
Love the tone of that tele. Thanks for the lesson
Levi THANK YOU so much for this màster class to the core Cheers!!
Muy bien explicado gracias
I love this guy's slightly condescending tone sometimes, especially when he demonstrates examples of playing well below his level. It makes me laugh. That being said, I learned more spending five minutes here than watching a dozen other videos or left to my own devices. Respect!
I love this guys slightly condescending comments at all times
@@LeviClay Ouch.
Great so now I want to skip work and practice. Thanks a lot :-)
exact same thought here!
Haha been in that frame of mind many time 😂
Thank you so much.. this lesson is just what i needed. Thanks again. I'll be looking for more lessons from you.
Glad to have helped Stan
Thanks from Buenos Aires!!
Levi! This is exactly something I've been trying to work on. While improvisation isn't on the horizon, writing melodies, I find is very hard on the guitar. I always notice the virtuosos talking about finding good melodies by Singing over a progression, but my voice and singing is so bad, when I find the notes, they don't sound good. Thank you for this, I'm going to start approaching melodies from a theory approach and hopefully it will yield better results! Thanks for the awesome video!
Amazing lesson ! thanx
thank you
brilliant Levi really helpful and well explained. Top Man
Thanks very much for this.
BTW you have a great presents on your videos. Your videos are high quality and the audio is very clean and well balanced. Thanks for your excellent content on You Tube.
very very nice video! thanks !!
Dude you are so on point please sir keep up the good work absolutely great thanks man👍!!
Great, thanks.
Ha I even see some off my teachers in the Patreon credits!
+monkface you have great taste in teachers! 😎
Awesome. Thanx.
Playing triads on the top 3 strings alone can create some nice melodies.
Very helpful lesson. Thanks !!
just learned triads...can now turn the into melodic phrases...tytytyty
This was very informative. Thank you.
Very welcome 😎
,mayor pentatonic added minor third plus passing tone in between whole steps.
Chasing 3rds!
Great information..u can clearly hearing chord changing 11:00 ..this is powerfull at least for me..i watched ur videos months ago but i wasnt at the level to understad it.but know when i practice i am more aware how to practice not just noodle..i love melodic "solos"
absolutely great lesson
Why do you not have 1 million subscribers? Great lesson!
Only you can help make that happen! ❤️
HOLY MOTHER OF**%% the penny has dropped!!! Levi Clay you have taken away all the bullshit from this topic... and placed it on a platter for all confused frustrated guitar players!! Steve Stein, Marty, Justin EVERYONE... This is how you wrap up and teach a topic without selling 15 DVDs to explain the above!!! HATS OFF LEVI!!!! I can finally play guitar...and chord follow with the basic knowledge needed to produce melody!!!!
Fantastic! My teaching is about getting results, and I firmly believe that my RUclips content is enough for a certain type of student. For those that need more guidance, I have books and I do private lessons (for a fraction of one any of those guys would charge!).
Hey Levi,
What about 3rd of minor chord ?
Do I play from flat of minor triad and land on minor 3rd during a minor chord ?
You can. That’s a lovely sound too
Thanks. I just subscribed (and used the bell for notifications). Useful info!👍
Awesome, thank you!
thanks alot !
Great video man
Thanks alot
The best lesson I have ever come across for using triads and playing over chords!!!!!
Keren jooos gandos maaknyooos Amazing ok salam sehat selalu🙏🙏🙏
So...what I think I’m understanding from watching the video is that in order to do this...I need a Telecaster.
Got it!
Gear equals musicianship, right? Right?
RedHead Guy can confirm... when I try and do this on any other guitar... it sucks
OMG I've been saying 'blues lawyer' for YEARS HAHA. Great great videos my man, thank you for sharing your talent for teaching :)
Triad and melody
Enjoying this video. I can play the chords and copy the riffs pretty well by ear. (Sounds like phish). I don’t understand the triads so well. 😢😢
Not to plug my weekly guided practice routines on Patreon… but that’s what you need there!
This is by far the best lesson on triads on YT. Thanks for sharing, Levy!
So inshort I'll just add the flat third amd use triad shapes to solo
Does Fender make a " two stringed guitar tuned in sevenths?"
Hey, I just discovered Your channel, I like especially 2 parts of soloing school, Do You have plan doing part 3 about using triads in chords changes?
Just came across this and I am thankful that I did:). I of course scanned through the comments and was pretty disappointed... here is an excellent free video containing the information you must have been looking for (why else would you be here?) and folks complain about the mic, pace, background and anything else to they can think of.
We’ve all become a bit entitled and cold don’t you think?
Thank you for the great information sir:)
Thank you very much M R! I’m happy to give refunds to those who are unhappy 😂
So Elvis’s lover doll is the country scale. Who knew😀
this is great but feel like it would add lots more to the ear to loop the chords in the background?
Or sustaining the cord?
Maybe you play the chord as you listen
You're a treasure man
You can see ghosts of a lick that was played endlessly on that fretboard. Probably a blazin' country lick!
😂
@@LeviClay been watching quite a few of your vidoes man. Cool channel and some great stuff here... I've done some video lessons here and there but have just started back up and you've been a good inspiration
Oh I'm replying on the wrong channel 🤣 its Karl Joensen 👍
Sound like JB pickups,love them.Great video,thanks.
spot on!
Can you use this in Metal rock? Or only Dolly Parton Rock??? K.B.
Great lesson, however I feel that when you keep going on about not learning from books (or at least putting down that kind of approach) ie with your minor 3rd to major 3rd slide, you are most likely making it harder for people to understand, i dont think people should get in to the habbit of learning the tricks and nuances without first understanding why those nuances work in the first place, otherwise it just adds to them playing blind.
Each to their own.
Personally i think if you can teach people theory without them knowing that they are learning theory all the better.
The people that are theoretically inclined will find theory. Everyone else wants to make music. If they can do that without FEELING they are learning theory that's surely a sign of a good teacher.
Playing blind is playing without knowing how what are about to play will sound.
It has nothing to do with knowing the labels. I know this cos I'm a very theoretical guy. I could tell you all about thee names of scales and intervals....dont exactly know how they sound though.
@picknngrinnin Its hard not to for various reasons. I never set about learning interval shapes but through chord and scale knowledge yes i know all the shapes. Again that doesn't mean i have those sounds in my ear.
Im working on that via melodies.
How about you?
The theory thing its crazy. I just find it addictive. From very early in my guitar journey.
So bring the flat 3rd in as a passing tone? Am I correctly understanding?
Good lesson bro......
love it man. so much thanks! your tone is great as well.. what where you using?
It’s a Dr Z maz18 profile on the Kemper
Useful in parts but clarifying what notes you were playing and where for each triad would have made it easier to understand.
This video is for someone who already has an understanding of where all the triads are.Its like watching a video on how to rebuild a transmission and not even knowing what a transmission is or where it is. Learn your triads,They are the chords.Triad = 3. This video was clear as day.
Hi Levi, Thank you for this is great. I would like your chord diagrams mirrored or flipped up here because I find it difficult to follow.
you should learn to read chord charts properly.
do you have a video on all the triads. just simply the triads. i know it will help with my playing
Not on RUclips. They’re all in the first weekly guided practice routine on my Patreon
Nice!
Fantastic lesson Levi...much appreciated!
productive video, better than pissing contests with other youtubers
It’s almost like they represent less that 1% of my videos 🙄
@@LeviClay snarky, lol
When you get abuse in your email inbox 24 hours a day... you gotta learn to be 😂
@@LeviClay that kind of comes with youtube sadly
Ya this is useful
...nice tele
the best tele! :D
My two cents on triads. In and of themselves, they provide small fragments of the musical language. If you can't form a sentence, then start with triads.
Hello Levi, great job!! Do you teach Western swing guitar?
Learn triad!
Sounds like shadows, can i use it in Metal rock?
