You are one of the best instructors on KZbin, explaining the theory in a practical way. You make something that seems so intimidating and make it easier to understand by teaching how to use it.

[@CharlieMcowan]

Sean, I have learnt absolutely nothing from this video. This is probably because I started learning guitar in 1968, or thereabouts. guitar *but*, this is one of the best explanatory videos I've ever seen. Your style of going straight to the nitty-gritty. Much appreciated.

[@Makinbadchoices]

"An inversion is where the root is not the lowest note in the chord." I can't count the number of times instructors haven't explained that. THANK YOU!

[@brubakersflatcakes9755]

For the "advanced" guitarist who's still kind of dumb, like me, this stuff is YUGE. All the best, brother. Cheers.

[@seandaniel23]

[@Someguy04-v3m]

Haha I hear that. For me it's the small simple things like this lesson that lets everything else I've learned over the years come full circle and make more sense.

[@tripledotter]

I know how valuable chord inversions are on piano to limit hand movement on the keyboard. You basically just cracked the code for me on how to do it on guitar. Consider yourself recognized in high regard for your contributions to humanity in a time of plague.

[@MrVbobby]

Sean, I once commented on one of your videos and I asked you if you were high you commented back to me and we had a little conversation. I have since watched more of your videos and I really would first of all like to apologize for the comment about you being high. " I am sorry . " You are how ever a little bit of a goof ball and I mean that in a good way. I wasn't ready for your personality. You seem to be having a good time and that is rare. There are a lot of people trying to look like they are having a good time but I really think you might be enjoying yourself. I would also like to comment on your teaching, I have been playing guitar for over 40 years but I have managed to learn from you. Your teaching is good and is geared towards all ages and abilities. Some of the things you teach I haven't seen anywhere else. I am glad I didn't stop watching after my first impression. Keep up the good work brother. God Bless

2 whole notes jump and 3 frets jump was the best piece of info for me this year. Thanks to you!

[@EclecticEssentric]

Major 1 or 4 are built in these thirds: major minor major (half step to octave). Minor 2, 4, and 6 are built minor major minor (whole step to octave). The 5th and 7th are unique, 5 = major minor minor, and coming out of 2/3 of that is the 7th: minor minor major. (Both with a whole step to octave).

[@jamiee172]

These few minutes taught me more than the last few hours watching other KZbin videos

[@korayem]

After watching several videos, I bought the course cause this dude is straight to the point AND reveals shortcuts that usually I find after learning a concept and practice it for a LONG time before developing my own mental shortcuts And the beautiful thing is his attitude feels like we're just hanging out and chilling and talking about our favorite instrument. No precocity in giving knowledge whatsoever. Keep it up Sean 🤩

[@jellyfish74]

i discovered how to connect all these shapes via the root notes a ways back, but i never knew what was happening technically or how to describe it other than "just learn where you can play the open chords in other shapes. i've been playing for 25 years and still haven't ever locked in what 3rds and 5ths etc are. this was a very clear and simple explanation that i will surely forget by tomorrow, but at least i know i'm doing something right so thanks!

[@bulldogwings54]

Thanks Sean! A very cool little inversion lesson that I think will lend itself to short motif building. I have been playing for a very long time but, my lumbar spine is so degenerated that long practice sessions just aren't on most days. I still gotta play but it has to be in short bits. I am always looking for new ideas to dink around with that lend themselves to short sessions. This fits the bill. I promise to help you get your recognition boosted in return for this sweet little lesson and others. When I first began to learn guitar there was no internet, not even DARPA net. You either listened to a vinyl recording repeatedly, bought a book that seldom matched what was on the recording, took lessons which generally forced you to go through some lesson plan or begged a better player to throttle back and show you cool stuff. Thanks for the access to cool stuff.

[@seandaniel23]

Always happy to help! Glad this one was able to lend itself to short sessions! Keep rockin bud!

You make the difference in someone’s life. You’re a hero. Keep doing what you do. And know who you are. Be blessed my friend. 😀👍🏻

[@jakekeys88music]

I finally got around to watching this again as I saved it on my queue. I watched it before, but really woodshedding with my guitar the other day this all locked in and made sense! Not only did it just really make sense as I'm learning the note locations on the neck, but it helped learning that the first two triads shown are kind of abbreviations or shortenings of E shape and C shape barre chords that make G Major. The last one just plain makes sense because the 12th fret is the octave of the open strings, those middle three making a second inversion G Major chord anyway. And knowing that this can transfer for other chords across the neck is so handy! Thanks, Sean!

[@johng2880]

It's always cool when you've "got" something on the guitar, then realize that it's linked to something else you know, like the way these triad shapes are parts of the barre chords we already know. More and more of the puzzle pieces fit together.

[@nathananders2213]

I seriously wish there was a teacher with your method of teaching. I've only seen a few of your videos and you explain things so well. Thank you.

Hey Sean Daniel. Must say, that is the simplest and easiest explanation to understand combining triads and inversions. Thx!

[@musicarrangementformelodyw8520]

One of the interesting different of guitar to piano is guitar can think of hand grip before knowing the notes or theory. Your made a good tutorial. Please keep it up!

[@fredacuneo5180]

To understand this well its best to show it on piano to see how the chords fit together. (I learned piano first, then moved to guitar.) Thanks for the video. I was 18 at Berklee when this was shown to me. By the way your "screw up" at the end actually sounded really good. Had a subtle polynesian feel to it.

This is by far one of the best lessons (practical) in KZbin! Thanks pal.

[@drsmith4582]

Nice lesson. What I got from this is sort of a magic formula for each string in the major triad. 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 tones. Each string in the triad follows this fret pattern without fail, whether it’s 4,3,5 or 3,5,4 or 5,4,3. Nice!

A gem of a lesson. Who knew it was so easy and obvious? Not me. Thanks, Sean!

[@tebogomoraba6845]

Learned a lot, I gotta say you explained the whole caged system without saying it.... you nailed it thanks

[@warren52nz]

Here's another cool thing I discovered on my own. If you play an "augmented" chord (also known as "+"), by changing just one of the notes up or down you can get to all three of the major triads, the "C" shape, the "E" shape and the "A" shape. Try it.

[@lucassobris]

This is a nice advice for us (acoustic players)! Thanks Sean, I'm looking foward for more of these during my quarentine time here in Brazil

First timer. I really played along. I was just figuring this out all week about inverted triads up the neck and chords in one hand position. You're awesome! Believe it or not, Jesus Just Left Chicago is one of my Blues Jam Songs. I've been learning to play lazy triads and double stops with theory!, and I have family in LaGrange. but live in Houston. Would LOVE to play with Billy some day here local. (added) I think the YT algorithm turned me on to you for that reason with the AI, for where I'm at in theory and talent. Weird.

[@stephenlee1782]

Subed while watching. Chord solos are now unlocked in a way all my theory lessons never did. I took lessons when all guitar teachers taught the same Mel Bay way. The only difference was style and covers. Thank you, your essay was iceing. Btw think I saw you hanging with Stich.

Pentatonics make life simpler. If you have the pentatonics memorized then you also learned the triad for every chord in every key.

[@HigherPlanes]

There is more than pentatonics, but pentatonics is all you need.

[@1911smokinggun]

Exactly what went through my head ( of course I smell the sarcasm)... If someone can't play guitar (like me) it's because their stuck in the Pentatonic minor. More specifically, in the stacked pattern, in my humble opinion of course. This looked like a good way to broaden your sound, without actually broadening your sound! Good video. Going to get the guitar out.

[@wolverine3344]

“Interval across one string” was key phrase that triggered your movement from root (g note on 5 th fret up 4 frets for 1st inversion, and how to the fifth 3 frets higher for 2nd inversion. 💡. 🙏

[@oneeyemonster3262]

Keys are just Pitch....just pretend the CAPO is at second fret. You can play C Maj7....D maj7....B min or less the Root on a string.. C maj7 = inverted E min...D maj7 inverted F# min Or you can simply play the C Maj ( it'll just be the N6) You can also modulate to the nearest key on PAPER. G.......D.......A ( D Major is at Center) Just play B min....C# min F # min B phry B aeo....B dor or B min C# min E7 F#7 into B min ( Melodic minor) But you can cycle lower use the C Maj chord C Maj....F Maj Emin A7 into D MAJOR using the N6 as a guide to cycle down C lydian....C ion.....C Mix once you see it or hear it...you'll never forget..lol It's easier than you think....you just have to know other scales exist and use them. You can also easily reach over and play the Bb note D Harmonic MAJOR = Ion b6 ( Bb). play descending notes on the A string....while holding the D note on B string C, B, Bb, A5 ...or A7 into D maj...ect or play the F# note on the D string.. Play this on the A string......E, ,D, B, A....then Play G 3, 7.... F# E on Low E string.... ot play the C note if you want You can play A#/Bb dim into B min....and or C# dim into D MAJOR or D min D min....A min G min F#7 into B min...or F# min to B min or even sub the C with C min.lol C min G min F min ( descend) ascend ........E min F# min B min.
