This channel is just amazing. Its also so underrated and I have not found a single video that is easier to understand for triads than this one🎉

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@birajpoudyal6726, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it! Very happy that you find the lessons useful and that this one has helped your understanding of triads :)

Another top drawer lesson Simon. Im a retired management consultant and you've got the right side of my brain buzzing. More stuff on triads please, maybe the progression from your triad soloing? Thank you.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You re so welcome Carl! :)

[@Wammus85]

Thank you so much for these awesome lessons. As an adition i also relate all the triad shapes to the caged shapes they are actualy comming from. This helps me tying things together even more. Also i'm finaly learning all the notes on the fretboard and once i got that and this down i can pretty much play everything anywhere i want. Now all it takes is the effort and time i need to put in.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@Wammus85 you are very welcome! Glad you are finding the triad lessons helpful :)

[@ParthChauhanMusic]

Just what I needed, thank you so much :)

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are so welcome! :)

[@thomasbrown8598]

again, excellent lesson. am I mistaken or are 2 of the shapes in the 123 and 234 string sets identical, except their minor in one, but major in the other. ? keeping track of all the memorization needed in this outstanding lesson, may be out of my reach, but great to have the tools and opportunity you've provided. thank you 😢

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@thomasbrown8598, you are welcome! Glad you liked the video :) Yes, you are correct in your query, I don't think I had really seen that before. Also, the shapes are identical between the 5, 4, 3 and 6, 5, 4 string sets.

[@thomasbrown8598]

@@acousticguitarlessons this lesson to me is useful as reference, and to create etc, but keeping it at hand in my mind, wish I could, but thats on me. Thanks again.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

​@@thomasbrown8598 you can, just takes some time. If you apply these chords regularly in your playing and have an effective strategy to learn them over the fretboard, you'll get them down. Follow the strategy I lay out in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on-pp2CmpNmrjNk with the shapes presented in this one and you'll be on your way :)

[@davidhett8883]

A bit quick for me amigo but I’m giving her my best shot!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@davidhett8883, keep at it, you'll get there. There is lots of info in this video, so take your time and let me know how you go :)

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

small error ----@ 12 : 27 you show the 8 th fret barre as F (on screen next to you ) but it sounds higher --like the 10th fret ?---F Major triad?

[@acousticguitarlessons]

I will have to check the video, but more than likely a typo on my part. Thanks for letting me know :)

[@MattBargain]

An easier way to explain this is to just take bar chords and just use the parts on the three strings you're playing. On the 12th fret it starts with cowboy chords again but you need to change the root, which is now an octave higher.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

I get your point Matt Bargain however not all triad shapes live inside the main bar chord shapes.

[@thatfenderbloke]

Lol, ill never be able to stop saying rewind , great video

[@acousticguitarlessons]
