How To Actually Use Triads to Improvise

This is an easy guide to learn how to use triads in order to leverage your improvising skills! I know it can be very overwhelming with thousands of resources about triads on the internet, but I tried to sum it up in a clear and concise way :) I hope this helps!

Nice and helpful !! Need more of this stuff like this… triad inversions etc and more melodies…🎸

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you! i’m glad it helped

Great video! Here's something I wish someone would have told me when I was at your stage. I comes from Uncle Larry and Tim Pierce, who are some of the best studio musicians. Turn the guitar way up and play it really lightly. It's hard, but it gives you tone and dynamics. You've got way more talent than I do. Keep pushin'!

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you for the tip!

[@nettlesome7125]

This was a wonderful little lesson. So clear and concise. I'm often overwhelmed, so this was perfect!! You're a wonderful teacher. Also....please don't be afraid to just tell people "go learn your triads before you begin." Or something similar. Diagrams are easy to find and only take work to memorize.

[@MangoGuitar]

I’m really glad! thanks :)

[@queasyRider3]

Thanks for the lesson. Also the unspoken lesson, where you showed that a controlled vibrato is a much much better idea.

[@hawhee]

This is giving me ideas for practicing my solo technique. Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks for the lesson. Triads are a good starting point to understand more complex chord forms. You should stress that it's good to know what notes make up a triad. In major triads it's the 1,3, and 5 notes of the major scale of whatever key you're in. Knowing which note in the triad is the root or 1st note of the scale is first thing you should learn. Solos often start and end on the 1 or root note of a scale so it's good to know where the root notes are. You may not start your solo phrases with the tonic but you mostly end them at the tonic so knowing where all the root notes are in the key that you're playing in gives you an anchor so to speak.

The chord progressions U used in that black and white video of your song about the swell of the ocean etc., is fantastic! Your English is excellent. That purple guitar to your right looks cool. Thanx!

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you!

[@freds5335]

Thank you!

Another fantastic video. This was also very handy and nice to know about. I never knew about this until I saw this. Keep up the amazing work.

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you so much!

[@eduardopanameno3988]

Thank you very much!! How about making a one hour video on improvisation with triads? I think it would be amazing!!

[@TheHylianBatman]

It's just really cool to see you go from learning to teaching, your method is excellent! Long live Ukraine!

[@MangoGuitar]

Thank you very much!

[@joe_mox]

Nice lesson, thanks!

[@MangoGuitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@arunraviji]

This is a good post, but you might wanna show how you blend the transitions of the chords into your moves into nearby inversions. I use the pentatonic box framework to improv but I’ve been meaning to work on triads since it adds a different aesthetic to the leads.

[@wyrdegebraecon]

nice, thx

[@MagicGuitar_SantanaCover]

Looks as if you like triads for improvisation 🙂, and it sounds nice 👍

[@diocletianrecords1089]

Helpful guitar lesson.

[@juliansagberger8498]

What program do you use there in the background? I seen you use it as a metronome sometimes as well, right?

[@Drunk_scientist201]

love it. continue

[@dwayneterrell1915]

I know so many guitar players that's never been on stage or nothing some of them are so phenomenal it's amazing when I was a little boy the lady next door she was she was one of the best players I ever seen in my life and I've seen Jimmy Page Stevie Ray Vaughan I've seen so many great guitar players they didn't have nothing on this woman this woman would go because she didn't think she was all that good and every teacher she went to she was teaching the teacher that was amazing she was really good my grandfather played for the Chicago orchestra he was really good

Hello! I love your guitar tutorials! I’m still trying to get used to the guitar, but it is such an awkward instrument to learn. Also, I want to ask you something. I’m a student studying music production and engineering at Berklee College of Music. I was wondering if you could let me improve your audio to help build my portfolio. I normally use Izotope’s RX and other software for editing mixes and polishing masters, but I want to explore using these tools for audiovisual media. Thanks, Cris

[@Viicorico]

Thanks ! What scale were you playing ?

[@TLMuse]

Just a bit of terminology worth considering: I'd call this using arpeggios to improvise, i.e., spelling out the chords you are playing against. At least in jazz improv, "triad improvisation" or "triad soloing" typically refers to using triads to organize note choices over a chord, but including triads different from but related to the chord you are playing against. Larry Carlton is one of the masters of this approach. In this YT video, he gives an example of using several different triads against a single Dm7 chord vamp (e.g., starting with Dm, Am, and Em triads, and then building further "out" sounds from there with other triads, all against Dm7): kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6SVh2mBh7aJfNk.

[@maxperson590]

Sorry, but on the e it sounds more like harmonic minor, especially hm5

[@MangoGuitar]

depends what sound you want, i prefer melodic minor over the e
