The ACPG 30 Day Guitar Technique Challenge: Day 3

[@lordjamon]

Really appreciate this series brother

[@DanHoskins529]

Thanks Adrian. The 4-finger spider has now become my warm up routine.

[@jameswatt7043]

I'm a middle school teacher from Toronto Canada. I was hooked by your Gimme Danger guitar lesson and am trying your new series out. Thanks so much. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and your teaching tone/style is clear and easy to follow.

[@ssa2211]

During the past year I learned all of the major and minor closed triads on all string sets because Adrian inspired me. Well worth becoming a Patron of this channel for the extras.

[@boomerdell]

Adrian showing us once again why subscribing to this KZbin channel AND supporting ACPG on Patreon are so worth doing and a tremendously great value.

[@sharonlitwak9610]

Thanks for your thoughtfulness and guidance. This is much appreciated.

[@davidkyle5552]

Loving this series. Great idea and great content with manageable chunks and a challenge / goal to keep the interest / motivation. Well done.

[@jamesr5443]

I am really valuing not only the exercises themselves, but that your structure has had me focusing more on my guitar than I would otherwise have done! I also appreciate that what you focus on comes from all your experience as a teacher and is tried and tested. Thank you Adrian! 👏

[@disprefer]

this is a total blast, super helpful, and I hope a million people join in and follow along and watch all the ads

[@JustinTaylor1098]

This series is brilliant Adrian, I love your style of teaching. Thank you.

[@jalapinya]

I've been playing guitar, self taught, for about a year, and I've been doing the first three exercises already. Helps confirm to me that I'm on the right track as far as what to learn. I'm stoked I found your channel. Looking forward to the rest of the month, thanks brother!

[@jimmythefish]

Thank you so much for these! So much work putting these together, but they will be incredibly useful.

[@marleenvos4126]

This is starting to look like a great things-to-practice for the coming year(s). Thank you!

[@joelroberts1581]

Hi Adrian, thanks for the lessons, as always. I’m with you on the 30 day program. It’s nice to have a structure to work with.

[@AllyNewns]

This is great - ta! I enjoy technique drills, it it’s so easy to get distracted with learning a fun song etc. Gotta eat your greens before desert tho! Especially when they’re this tasty!

[@mra.6871]

Superb Adrian. Thoroughly enjoying this and finding it very useful for meaningful practice👍👍👍

[@judyfriedsam457]

Thank you for this series and taking the time to do this 😊

[@larryanderson2766]

Much appreciated. I’ll have to sit down and put 3-4 lessons together when I can but this is a solid idea on your part

[@Edward-MTBKR]

That's an excellent exercise, and a new one for me!

[@SGC90-t5y]

Still with you, keep it going!😊

[@TimothyLane-m1u]

I like the monster above the amp. It reminds me of "the hills have eyes"

[@Motorcyclemike58]

Brilliant instruction!

[@DennisMC1974]

Thanks Adrian My Brother 🎵🎶🎸👍😎

[@toddkoenig426]

Thanks, but yargh! You always show me how little I know about guitar playing! Happy New Year!

[@jimmyjakes1823]

I noticed there's also 3 separate places on the neck where all the triads in a key exist in a 4 fret distance, horizontally across the first 5 strings. For me, it makes switching between chords, scales, arpeggios in a key easier than jumping up and down the neck vertically, particularly if you already use the CAGED shapes. I don't think I've ever heard anyone explicitly point out these patterns, but I seriously doubt I'm the only one who's ever noticed that or uses it.

[@andredecaires2]

I am very happy that I found your channel about 3 years ago Adrian. You are the first teacher who explained the importance of triads. In fact, yesterday, I was reviewing one of your old triad workouts. Only now learning how to use them semi effectively when improvising. But the work goes on. Health and happiness in 2025!

[@rcieszkowski]

Check out some of Guthrie Trapp’s content from the past year. Nashville player. Triads are his lane. There was one (discussing CAGED as a “framework” I think) that was a real lightbulb moment for me. I went from barely understanding what triads were to being able to now see them and how to use it in a musical context. But yeah. This series is off to a great start. I’ll be here for all 30 for sure.

[@andredecaires2]

​@rcieszkowski I look at Guthrie. Sometimes his lessons are a bit above my level. But I am using them a lot more. Thanks.

[@woawh5616]

I like this one doing it with all the different triad inversions also seems nice

[@joev4483]

Thank you ❤

[@KevIn-tu4fv]

Day 3 complete !!

[@paulmcnamara1265]

This is brilliant!! Thank you Adrian

[@sirtogii5216]

Again, happy that this is part of the challenge as it's something I have neglected to practice lately. Re-subbed on Patreon as a token little thanks. Cheers Adrian

[@OriginalMixedUpKid]

Here✋️ Really tight for my fingers on the last triad(telecaster) but this went better than yesterdays lesson.😂

[@kbelltv]

🤔… a little more challenging than the first two days (particularly the B diminished). But, I appreciate the exercise! Day 3 ☑️

[@acpg]

Thanks. Yes, I wanted to include some accessible, beginner-friendly things, but the difficulty level will ramp up quite a bit in the second half of the challenge.

[@trusarmor4957]

i do like this one

[@ptangyangkipperbang3295]

Thank you.

[@plantagenant]

Day 3.....and I'm still alone on this deserted island. I gaze across the see to the far horizon , pick up my guitar and gently strum some triads...

[@berlin-west4651]

vielen Dank👍👍🇩🇪

[@stophdoggy6625]

Suddenly, “Fleet Foxes”

[@rcieszkowski]

Liked and subbed. Thanks Adrian! This is getting me to practice those things I know I should be working on-but don’t. My ass will be planted here for ACPG 30.

[@drcobra-dc6uy]

hello..please wich fingers go where please?

[@AdamHT]

Imagine you are playing the top three strings of the full fifth string root bar chord starting on C major in the pattern : Major, minor, minor, Major, Major, minor, half diminished

[@drcobra-dc6uy]

@AdamHT thats already way to complicated for me..

[@AdamHT]

I was like that too a while ago, but I just kept watching Adrian’s video’s and one day it just clicked. Sean Daniel also does a lot of simpel triad videos that might help unlock it for you. Good luck!

[@drcobra-dc6uy]

@AdamHT thanx yes i ve been practising his cramps lessons and..that really opened up a lot..especially their little solos..as for triads..and theory its a slow long slog..i m learning all the scales and thats going great..

[@AdamHT]

Sounds like you’re doing all the right things! Go for it!

[@FilmFlam]

I'm still hanging in there. Of course, it's only day 3.

[@DennisMC1974]

Them Triads sound like the same notes as rockin Around the Christmas tree Song by Brenda Lee

[@TomTom-kv5nf]

❤❤❤

[@icanbreathenow]

Completed day 1-2, doing 3 now!

[@Gabe-md2ur]

Will all 30 videos be put into 1 playlist?

[@acpg]

Yes, I will certainly do that!

[@craigesson6944]

Nice one. Any update on ETA for your next course please Adrian? Happy nee year

[@IfUfindthisURlost]

lost me on this one. Why are these shapes important?

[@johnpandolfino8663]

👌🤘🖖🤙👍👏👏👏💪😊
