14 Day Challenge to Improve Basic Soloing Skills // DAY 1 // TRIADS

[@Toadie2012]

Dave, thanks for posting these lessons! So excited to try this 14 day challenge. I'm a few days behind but eager to catch up the best I can.

[@teresawilliams2251]

Thanks!

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Thanks you again! Happy New Year 🎸😎🙏

[@MrRobistro]

There's a lot of guitar teaching on KZbin these days, which I appreciate, but Tao of Twang is at the top of the list. Most would charge $$ for something like this. Thank you for your time Dave

[@brianwest9831]

Thanks Dave I will be following every one of these lessons. I know that you have touched on triads in many of your lessons but this going back to real basic stuff is quite an eye opener. Love it

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Hey Brian! Keep coming back! This is going to cover quite a bit of territory before it’s over 🎸😎✌️

I’m looking forward to this series and I’ll start by working these triads all over you were right at the end it helps to visualize the CAGED shapes. Thanks Dave

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Great to hear from you Mike and Happy New Year 😎🎸🥳

[@dharris1234]

Thanks for the fantastic lesson! Just notice tha aound 14:30 the diagram has a G on the third string rather than a G#. Love your channel!

[@gumpractitioner]

Thanks, Dave. I'm on it. Happy New Year from the UK.

Glad to have found this day 1. I’ve been playing guitar a little over a year I feel like I could be getting close to my “AHA!” Moment🙃🙃

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Keep us posted! Glad your onboard 🎸😎✌️

[@marccunningham6353]

Hey Dave!!

[@capbubba]

Love Day 1 lesson Dave, appreciate your teaching style. Side note: really enjoyed your noodling video and find I myself playing that way the most these days.👍😎👍

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Keep noodling! 🙏😎🎸

[@Ditch1221]

Thanks Dave, I’ll be on it.

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Hey Jim! How’s that Martin working’ out? Happy New Year 😎🙏🎸

👍👍👍

[@---Wade---]

Happy New Year from the Republic of California. Would love to visit Oklahoma but having some difficulty getting an entry visa! Working on Day 1 lesson. I am having one small problem. When I work I work hard. When I play I play hard. When I study I go to sleep! I am feeling very dozy at the moment. Will try harder. I think I have over learned the noodling lesson.

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Noodling will take you far Wade. You’re always welcome in OK, the syndicate hasn’t fully isolated us yet lol. Happy New Year 😎🎸✌️

[@mickymiller6130]

Thank you.

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

You got it! ✌️😎🎸

[@deanomiteo7]

On it 🇬🇧 🎸🎸🎸🎸 cheers dave

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Gonna be fun 😎🍻🎸✌️

[@schrammguitars]

You have an error in the 2nd diagram. You have the b7 labeled as a 7 on the 3rd string 12th fret. The 7th should be on string 2 fret 9

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

You are absolutely right! Thanks for letting me know. Not much I can do about the video but can address it in Day 2. Great to hear from you 😎🙏

[@Ericdakid]

subscribed, and will give it a go!

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Right on man! Welcome 😎🎸✌️

[@bama8133]

Happy New Years

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Happy New Year! Let's get those soloing skills fired up! 🎸😎

[@dtee06]

I am aboard Thank you

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Good deal! Thanks for checking in 😎🎸✌️

[@saltybiker252]

subscribed, triads are more clear now to me. Only question ii have is the seventh note of A major shouldn't it be G sharp?

[@RomanBaumbach]

Yes, you're right. There is a mistake at in scale picture at 14:40

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Absolutely right! Thanks for letting me know. Not much I can do about the video now but can address it on Day 2. The first progression we are going to use treats the A Major as a Dominant 7th. Originally I wrote and labeled it that way but figured it might make better sense for some folks if we started with extracting the basic triad from the Major scale rather than Mixolydian. Ended up with one octave of each lol. Great to have you onboard. Thanks again 😎🎸🙏

[@MichaelReeps]

Checking in on Day #1. I like the subtle Red/Blue comment :)

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Thanks for checking in and Happy New Year friend! Maybe we can hope for a more purple 2025 😎🙏✌️

[@MichaelReeps]

@@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons Same. You covered this at the top of the video in terms of keyword stuffing for KZbin, but this is chord tones, right? Not really triads in the strict sense (1-3-5 in sets of three).

[@jorgestreet3420]

Happy New Year

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Happy New Year Friend 🎸😎✌️

[@darrells1806]

Great lesson, thank you…..What model Telacaster are you using?

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Great to hear from you! It’s an older MIM Tele. Maybe late 90’s. Thought about replacing it many times but I just like the dang thing after playing it for so long lol. Welcome aboard 🎸😎✌️

[@djbny2la]

Not sure if this has been pointed out below or not, but I think your A Major scale at 14:42 is incorrect. The "G" on fret 12 of the G string, is wrong, it should be "G#" on the 9th fret of the "B" string, no?

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Yes, you’re right! Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully things still made sense 😎🎸

[@djbny2la]

@@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons Yes, made sense, just took a moment! (Made me think, I hate when that happens)

[@UncleDickeysRandomLife]

Why are scales different in other countries? What's their problem

[@tazador793]

Will it work on acoustic? Sounds like a cool challenge

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Absolutely! It might make more sense to choose your positions and things differently sometimes and later on when start bending strings more you can always slide instead of that works better. Great to hear from you 😎🙏🎸

[@tazador793]

@@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons Thank you, will be on board. Look forward to hearing from you

[@DougSmith-y4o]

Hello Dave, Doug Smith from Denver, Colorado. Patron member. Is this going to be a daily session or weekly? Appreciate everything you do, thanks so much, I’ve learned a great deal from you!

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

Happy New Year Doug! The sessions will be every day or two until we get through 14. It’s a challenge for me as well lol 😎🎸✌️

[@UncleDickeysRandomLife]

This better work ! Oh no it's not going to work cuz I broke both E strings on my s****

[@TaoOfTwangGuitarLessons]

How do you break BOTH E strings lol?
