Again.......Rusty is the "Three Bears" guitar instructor..........although I still maintain his lessons on complete solos (like the B minor lesson) are Rusty's finest, getting solo or rhythm bite-sized or just enough lessons really make the most impact! We don't need to be overwhelmed; we need just enough to get us on that right path to expand our own playing whilst retaining what we've been taught! Jim C.

I like the way you said it Mustafa! Thanks so much for the comment! Greetings always from Chicago! Talk to you soon my friend 👌

[@TS-Music-57]

I relate to this lesson in a way similar to learning math. We first started with a number line as most old schoolers were taught. Ha ha...Then we were taught to put those numbers to use in various ways as you build your skills. The basic numbers here are simply the notes in a chord. And are found again in triad shape as you point out. I like how you imply (and show) movement from the basic chord to the triad area with the slides, etc.. The movements you show are like formulas in math that can be used with any chord! Thank you Sir! I like it. 👍😎

[@MustafaBaabad]

Very good comment. I am a retired mechanical engineer and your comment represent how I feel. Cheers from Indonesia.

I've been practicing the major triad inversions (root on D and G string) using the cycle of 4ths ( C all three positions, F x 3 Bb x 3 etc) most days for the last couple of months. Its worth taking 10 mins at the start of your practice to really learn those shapes.

Surgeon told me if the bleeding wasn't slowed, 4 minutes I would have bled out. Needless to say, my hand was never the same. I worked with it my whole life so people manage. I'm missing a tendon on the ring finger off my right hand. They used it to sew into my thumb so I could have some use of it. Sorry about the rant Rusty. I'm glad you mentioned the pick !!
