Agreed

This is one of the most accurate approach to triads found on KZbin. I've learnt and understood triads. Thanks Simon.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are so welcome Vijayant! Glad the lesson has helped you in understanding triads :)

Thnk u sir it will improve my beginner level

[@donduke588]

This has got to be the best most simple and understandable explanation of triads that I have come across. I've watched multiple videos on it and I even have face to face guitar lessons with an instructor and this guy was the only one that made me really understand the basics of it and how to use it. Thank you so much!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are so welcome Don! That makes me very happy to hear it has helped you understand triads. It's one thing to use them, and another to understand them so I am glad my video helped you with this :)

[@licksnkicks1166]

This is one of the BEST lessons on triads. You make it easy to understand. Just a lot of memory work. It will take me a bit to learn( mental gymnastics)but it will be so worth it. Thank you for the most amazing aha moments!

You are very welcome! Great to hear you found the video helpful for your playing :)

[@patrickcormick2906]

Thanks. Perfectly explained. Opened a new world of understanding for a 70 year old very amateur guitarist. Much appreciated.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

That is great to hear Patrick! You are very welcome :)

[@tcfoto99]

I’ve watched many videos on triads and found all to be confusing. Third, fifth, inversions all just made want to stop and watch something else. But with yours I found myself pausing to try it myself, and then eagerly awaiting the next steps in the lesson. Amazing eye opener for me! Thank You so much for sharing this!!!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@tcfoto99, that is great to hear! So glad my video helped you with triads :)

Thank you Simon. I appreciate the pace and clarity with which you teach, in this case about triads. Would appreciate more videos covering the other triads that make up all the notes on the scale.

[@BillHart_Family_Friends]

I found your channel today and I am amazed at the material in this lesson. I have been playing (simply for self entertainment) rhythm and lead guitar since 1964; I am a copy-cat with a huge repertoire of songs. However, I have never investigated triads and this lesson has opened a new avenue of discovery for me to shoot down. I am looking forward to the journey; many thanks!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are so welcome Bill! Great to hear the lesson has inspired you to investigate triads. They are a great tool for your guitar playing in so many ways. Let me know how you get on with them :)

[@tonygram5414]

You are the only one who ever mentioned that we are dealing with the top three strings of the guitar. I know this may be obvious for some, but it isn’t if your new to guitar. Especially when you watch someone play it’s difficult to see this. Thank you. It just helps to be more clear when understanding this!

This has really helped me understand triads and their inversions. Your simple detailed description of each triad and inversion is helping me visualize them in various areas of the fretboard. I would really like to see the application video for triads. Thank you for your excellent instruction.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Hi Dana. So glad you found the video useful regarding triads :) I will record an application video for triads in the next couple of weeks so look out for it :)

[@djrmark]

@@acousticguitarlessons Thank you, Simon. I am especially interested in combining rhythm and melody (soloing). I used to be able to sing so I could strum chords, sing along and be happy playing. My singing voice has let me down, so now I want to be able to just pick up the guitar and play something that sounds good by itself, not just chords, not just melody, but a blend of both. It seems the way you are explaining the triads, they might work well for blending both together. Thank you much.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@@djrmark Yes, triads can be great for creating chord/melody pieces. You can check out this video for chord/melody playing if you haven't seen it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKLIiHiXrZJ7mbc

My mind is blown by the gift you just gave me! I have struggled to move out of the first position (with the exception of barre chords).

[@karlnation-m8f]

Thank you so much for this amazing lesson, you've made triads make sense in a way no others have. I've been playing funk and it's started helping me shoot forward after years of limbo. This approach is much less confusing. I often skip and have over the years. Honestly, for someone who really struggled but has a ridiculous passion it's been the penny drop moment for me, I can even recognise that elusive B string much clearer and I haven't even begun lol. Top marks my good man😊

Brilliant. Admittedly I did stop the video half way through and started doing the shapes closer together in the similar position, which you do later in the lesson. So I like to think that means I understood the idea due to you making it clear and simple. Really a very, very good. Thank you.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@buckrodgers931, you are very welcome! Glad you liked the video :) Sounds like you definitely have the right idea. Playing by position and by shape both have their merits, so it's not the case of one over the other.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are very welcome Colin! :)

[@craigewinger1206]

Thank you Simon for your videos on using triads. I'm trying to learn them as you say by "position" where the three triads of any key are in close proximity to each other so I don't have to jump up and down the neck. This is a refreshing change from always using root 6 & 5 bar chords. I know the triads of the 3,2,1 strings and 4,3,2 strings but didn't know how to do triads on the 6,5,4 strings and the 5,4,3 strings until watching your triad videos. I could not find that anywhere without getting confused. Your triad videos really eliminated my confusion by explaining the three ways of learning triads by shape, by position and by vertical movement. No one has explained it like that which is why I was so confused. Craig Ewinger

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@craigewinger120 , you are very welcome! Yes, learning the triads in all sorts of combinations is essential in getting them down to the point where you can have all the possibilities available to you. Keep me updated on how you get on with the triads :)

[@kremata]

After all the videos on triads that I watch you're the one that I can understand and made me want to take my guitar and play. Best explanation ever. Thanks a lot. (I would give 10 likes if I could)

@kremata, that is great to hear! So glad my video has helped in your understanding of triads. I appreciate you stopping by to let me know :)

[@charlesgoodwinmusic]

I have been using inversions for years, but not really understanding the underlying mechanics of it, just learned a couple of shapes that had inversions and the rest you just know when it sounds right, but that is limiting. I always fall back to the familiar ones (kind of like acoustic players do with the cowboy chords). This is fantastic. You provide the shape, but also the underlying reason for the shapes and how to adapt that to different keys and chord progressions. I look forward to practicing this and incorporating it into more of my performances. Can't wait to watch some more videos from you. Thank you!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@charlesgoodwinmusic, you are very welcome! So glad you found this video helpful :) There are other triad videos on the channel if you so a search. Let me know how you go with them :)

[@ElectroCurmudgeon]

@@acousticguitarlessons that's really interesting. thanks again for the nice explanation on the triads.

[@cedricm_07]

Really great lesson! My greatest tip for others is to have a basic knowledge of the notes of the fretboard. It is the most recent lesson I've learned and what I've been practicing for the past week. And now knowing the triads complements that knowledge really well. It helps learning the fretboard more, and that helps me in locating these triads. Really mind blown as a beginner!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@cedricmanahan, great to hear you found the lesson useful! And yes, knowing the note names makes everything easier on guitar so good job working on this :)

All I can say is WOW!!! Your approach is straightforward and easy to understand. I had that " Ah Ha "moment when you mentioned the 3, 4 and 5 string variation. It makes sense when you explained about 1st 2nd and 3 version and shapes. I knew very little about triads before your tutorial and feel that you have opened my eyes to better understanding triads. I look forward to more videos about triads and until then I will be subscribing to your channel and checking it out. Thanks again.
