Thanks again for your great videos. The most important is that they are easy to understand (if we were experts we wouldn't need them). That's the way to learn. Thank you very much and best wishes from Spain!

Excellent. Thanks... I appreciate that you kind of lay out, here’s how it sounds when you’re good, but here’s where you start learning this, then do this after that, then finally start to sound musical when you do this…. And finally, you’re getting pretty good… It’s a roadmap - thank you.

As a guy who hasnt been playing very long, Ive found that thinking in numbers really simplifies things. Its just so easy to learn where each chord (1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or in this case, the 1,6,4,5) is relative to the others, so when going from the 1 to the 6, you can easily find the 6, and same goes for 6 to 4, and 4 to 5. Troy talks in letters, but I wonder if he thinks in numbers. Another issue I have is maintaining the backdrop visual (ie the key scale) under all these chords, so that you know where all the extra filler notes are. If anyone knows an easy way to lock this in, please post it here. Perhaps this is why many players have keys they prefer, as those scales are quickly and easily visualized under triads no matter where they are. Anyway, thanks for the GREAT triad lesson.

The lead example at 12:00 minute mark lends to Dyer Maker, Led Zep in my brain anyway. Sounds really melodic!

Ive been working on this. The first time i matchrd a chord tone it was magical. Hard to describe. Always noodling in a scale i noticed it would randomly happen. After learning triads it blew open the fretboard

This has made my day!! Thanks so much - I’m glad it’s working for you. Nothing quite like hitting the right note at the right time!

From the open 'cowboy chords' of CAGED to three-note chords, to inversions of those chords across and along the neck, to the chord-tone 'target note' soloing concept: all clearly explained in less than 15 minutes. If only all introductory instructional videos were this good. As an added point: I prefer your approach to the CAGED idea. I've always felt that CAGED is confusing. For example, it refers to 'the C shape' - but this shape can only occur once, because it makes use of open strings. Move it up one fret and we have the real movable shape. The trouble is, I think of that shape as 'the second-fret D shape', because that's where most players encounter it for the first time. It may seem to make sense to use open chords as the basis for learning chords systematically, but in reality it isn't as helpful as learning the triads and their inversions. As you found with the so-called G shape, the open-chord shapes are very particular voicings that don't necessarily make much sense out of the open position. Linking the triads to an underlying scale makes much more musical sense, and it works everywhere on the neck. It's also a system that you can build on when you start adding the next chordal tone - the 7th.

I learned my modes directly out of minor then later major Pentatonic which to me gives me the illusion of ease. That way its easier if I need to go back and forth between things. So hopefully down the road it will be easier to play with caged and triad inversions. Do you have any tips for inversions or caged in general I'm listening its very pretty. My favorite pretty old school guitarist is Keith from Bryan Adams. And I i write rick mainly so i can do a ballad or blues or metal whatever i want along those lines. I'm supposed to play with a jazz band but I i guess they might flake idk. It is really important to know your arpeggios chord tones and triads to select the best notes and not select other notes which is what gives you your sound. But id say blues rock is what i write.
