Over the past few weeks, I have actually been looking for an explanation of the relationship between the major scale and triads and this was perfectly presented. I swear that you have the best approach to demonstrating music theory to players of all levels no filler, no getting lost in tiny details, just useful tools for guitarists to teach themselves at home. thank you so much for what you have done for not just me as a guitarist but the guitar community as a whole!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I really appreciate that man. Thank you!!

[@davids6005]

I really appreciated the time you took to create a separate document to help color blind people, such as me, who had trouble with the colors in the video. Thank you!

[@babooger6839]

Honestly one of the most useful information packed short triad videos around. Excellent practice routine for intermediate learner/players.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

That's great to hear! Appreciate it. 😊

[@lucahaines4655]

Can you talk about arpeggios next??

"So that should give you plenty to work on.." You are not kidding! Great lesson, great shape!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Haha, yeah it’s a lot! Cheers ☺️

[@HumbleBaritonics]

I like the way that you are presenting triads from a different perspective. Jeff

[@dankintx]

Dude, you are like the only lesson channel I watch now…. You’re amazing man! I love how you always break it down simply and use graphics to explain… you are my goto learning channel for sure

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

🙏 You’re too kind! ☺

[@garethq]

Unlocked a puzzle in my mind with this lesson, very helpful thank you.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're very welcome!

[@TheRazaec]

Your channel does wonders! As always! This is my go to channel for theory and rusty's guitar for practical uses of the theory. Thanks so much!

[@shakingpapermusic]

Great video Andrew! I’ve been playing for 15 years and I’m still picking up skills from your vids. Thanks for the free inspo

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you! I'm so happy it's helping you out!

[@nickm8651]

You do a really good job in explanation and diagrams. Cheers man keep up the good work. One of the best I've come across.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Appreciate that! Glad you found it helpful.

[@CCChinaRider]

Tremendous lesson. I have been looking for something like this for awhile. Thank you for the info and the printouts. Great channel with top-notch content

[@justin.johnson]

Imagine if we had this before KZbin

[@johnnygreenway3579]

Thanks again Andrew for a great lesson on triads. I've been studying these in worship songs. Your teaching method and style are excellent. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing these to us.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Appreciate that! It's my pleasure.

[@FriendlyMarlo]

Hey Andrew! Your videos have unlocked so much for me as a guitarist and I’m so grateful for your content! Would you ever consider making a few videos about your approach to bass guitar for guitarists? I have a feeling you’d help a lot of people (me included!). Thank you for all your videos!

[@billwsimpson]

Excellent. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're welcome!

[@BenJammin5150]

Thanks for the lesson. It all makes sense when it's layed out on the fretboard in a video. But I'm still having difficulty memorizing all that & incorporating it into a song at tempo. Just gotta keep practicing!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Keep at it! I'm glad it's making sense!

[@thoughtprovoking001]

This is some next level content Andrew. Detailed and very clear instruction. Greatly appreciated mate 👍👍

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I appreciate that, I'm really happy you're finding it useful!

[@guntherlux7432]

Very well explained.Easy to see. Logical. Love this concept of teaching. :)

Somehow you always manage to make a video about exactly what I want to know, at the moment I want to know it.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Hahaha, perfect! ☺

Excellent again with the supplementary material available on Patreon. Keep at it please, brother!

Outstanding lesson

[@arthencraft4825]

Can you please make a video on how you arrange songs

[@joev4483]

Excellent! Thank you ❤

[@EricTamariz]

Hey man I’m colorblind to the max. Please make the future videos have more contrast in colors, it’s kinda hard to see when it’s red/green. You should do like all black, and when you show what you’re playing make it white! Or like red/blue!! Great video though brother.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I am so sorry! Someone else mentioned that earlier today and it was something that I didn’t even think about. I’ll absolutely use a different color combo moving forward!

[@EricTamariz]

@ haha don’t be sorry brother! It’s just something most folks don’t think about. God gave me eyes like a hawk, but made me colorblind as a trade off lol.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

@ 😂 I actually didn’t realize how common color blindness was! Now I know. Cheers man!

[@Warnutrition]

Same here, thanks for bringing this up. Black and white or red/blue works for me too!

Great topic!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thanks!

[@vansaram9351]

I wish I would see your part 2 video ❤

[@warddixon8564]

Hi Andrew. Your lessons are great! Do you have a lesson, or pdf, in which you show the seven chords / triads for each pentatonic position? Thank you.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you! I don't. But it's something I'll create at some point soon here!

[@warddixon8564]

That will be great. Thank you.

[@LeonSchuler]

Thanks for the videos(s). Your accelerating my progress a lot atm!! Do you have a video on the different positions of the scales? is there a trick to remember these?

[@da324]

I've recently been learning triads two strings at a time. I'm curious, If I use the triads you're showing here and know that they are moveable. Am I accomplishing the same thing? In other words, by learning all of the triads in this example and moving them around in different keys, are they in turn covering the triads on all 6 strings? I can see your example being way more useful as I can see how to use it musically, where learning two strings at a time doesn't help me in that regard. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for all of the lessons!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Yes and no. You're only learning one of three inversions for each triad. So there are more to learn eventually. But focus on what you can actually apply before worrying about knowing everything. No point in having 10 ways to play a C major triad if you don't even know how to use one of them.

[@LeffeHeffe]

Hey Andrew, I was wondering do you have this for all caged shapes/major minor somewhere on patreon or on the solo guitar lesson?

[@DDE_ADDICT]

Not even Rick Beato has covered this.

[@raymondcorreira847]

Looks like just the major scale with the blues note?

[@suriakumar4276]

how do i play over a fast moving chord progression using this triad system.

[@LeLilley1]

I really wish that you showed the 3 note positions you were playing. It's just hard to see what note you're playing as you're fingering. But I do think you're onto something and I'm sure it would help me.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I'm a little confused by your comment here. I showed all of them in the fretboard diagram as I played. Were you looking for something else?

[@LeLilley1]

@@andrewclarkeguitar You are correct! For some reason I just did see these in spite of the fact that they are VER CLEAR on the upper part of the screen. My mistake! Sorry!

[@frankm2588]

I like the first shape best since I like the triad shapes in it best. But there's no way with my memory I could keep the entire major scale shape in my head while playing. As for major triads I try to concentrate only on the "D" shape, the diagonal shape on strings 2-4 and the "A" straight across on strings 2-4. The others are too hard to remember and quickly fret.

[@Lombardgaming9091]

Can i ask you a question? What is the fastest way to memorize the fretboard notes?

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Octave centers are probably the fastest.

By his own words, a musician named Eddie van Halen didn't listen to music after Cream.

[@atomsofstardust]

Hi, Andrew, at 4:00 when you’re switching Triads and showing how to play them, could you please next time either use WAY more saturated colors, or better yet, just don’t use Red/Green to illustrate the differences, Red/Blue would be much better.🙏🏻 Sorry to bother with this, but being a colorblind person, when Red/Green colors are small enough (like on a phone’s or even iPad screen), and especially when they aren’t saturated enough - it’s near impossible to distinguish the difference you’re trying to illustrate. And as up to 10% of male population can have color blindness (red/green being the most common type), I hope you could make a slight adjustment in your lessons to accommodate folks like me.🫶🏻 If you’d like to see a really good Red/Green difference that certainly works well even for a lot of color blind people - Apple’s case for AirPods has quite an easily distinguishable Amber/Green colors. But it’s still almost always better to just use saturated Red and Blue colors. Otherwise, thank you for your videos! I found the way you teach guitar to be one of the best on KZbin (and I’ve gone through dozens and dozens of channels at this point)!👏🏻👍🏻

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Hey! Thank you for pointing this out as it's something I hadn't thought of. Moving forward I'll make sure to use colors that work better for everyone. My apologies!
