A Simple Way To Learn Triads On Guitar [By Shape & By Position]

In this video, you learn all about triads on guitar, and how they will totally transform the way you play chords on the instrument.
Triads open up the fretboard to you as far as playing chords are concerned, and will provide you with much greater scope when playing rhythm guitar parts.
In this lesson, you learn the major and minor triads on the top 3 strings of the guitar. You will first learn each shape in isolation, before being shown 2 key ways to train triads so you know instantly where they are on the fretboard:
1. By Shape
First, you learn how to voice a chord progression with each triad shape, one at a time
2. By Position
Next, you learn how to voice a progression with a mix of triad shapes that allow you to stay in the same position on guitar
Both training methods combined will ensure you get the triad chord shapes down so you can easily use them in your own guitar playing.

[@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!

Well, I just have to say that is a phenomenal presentation integrating theory with the ability to play. And oh boy I have a lot of work to do to learn it. I’ve been playing for nine years, and now I understand triads with first and second and versions. And I want to learn more!

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Glad you liked the video and found it helpful cpamvca! :) There are other videos on the channel regarding triads.

[@cpamfly6858]

@@acousticguitarlessons With the shape that bars the B and E, say on the fifth fret, then fret the G string at the sixth fret, gives an A, and completes the triad. That's what the lesson demonstrated. But I noticed I can use the D string at the 7th fret, and it makes a beautiful A. So that form is movable and you get an extra root note at the lowest position. I understand it's not a triad and the root note appears twice. My jazz friend tells me that doubling any note is a mistake. Do you agree? For me, I like fretting the D string, to either use, or fret so that I'm safe if my strumming misses a bit. In this example, I could have three A's, or, I could include the base open E string.

@@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]
