Another home-run lesson. Guitar master making things understandable for the masses.

[@Rossimac_]

Definitely one of the best teachers on youtube. Jack just makes it simple... no frill.... no big leaguing. Thanks, Jack, and keep doing what you're doing. You are blessed.

[@Euthymia2020]

You’re blessed for recognizing it. Now let’s go bless others.

[@Sammywhat]

Simple, yet profound. Wish I knew this 30 years ago!! But I'll take what I can get!! You are a saint, Jack. Thank you, kindly, sir!!

[@joelandrew84]

I love the connecting notes between the triad chords 🫡 I use triad chords a bunch but somehow never dawned on me to connect them with melodies like that.

[@martynspooner5822]

Such an eye opening lesson for me, I knew what triads were but didnt realize how they could be tied together using fills from the major scale. Thanks a lot this is going to be so much fun to explore.

[@ShimonMaruani]

Thank you Jack !!! as a player that just got a hold on triads (took me three months) , this lesson is the most important for the transfer from KNOWING something to actually USING it. The impact of this lesson is priceless and I will stay forever grateful to you ! love

[@queasyRider3]

Like Shimon said, *this* lesson is key. Yes, CAGED needs to be mastered. But seeing how you interleave them at 1 position, and then over 12 frets, and then tie them all with fillers from the scale... that sounds Pro. Thanks or the insight, Jack.

[@postoffice146]

@@queasyRider3 Yes, the fillers in between make the melody sing. Fine lesson.

[@heypockyway6652]

These last few lessons (rhythm fills, slow blues survival) have been so helpful. Often underrated skills but so valuable

[@bobkal9424]

For years I did not get your teaching style. The reason was I wasn’t prepared musically to absorb the information. No longer!! I am getting what you are laying down!!! Thank you!

[@luizvelazquez1113]

As you know, there are lots of videos out there on this same subject. However, I think I finally found the one that explains it the best and is the most useful for me. Thank you Sir. Much appreciated.

[@denmar355]

Great lesson! This is the fun and musical stuff to me. Remember Jimi started playing rhythm guitar for the Isley Brothers then Little Richard as he honed his chops backing up singers.

[@stevelipke7277]

I was thinking about doing this on the fret board....Your video was a catalyst to .....actually doing it !!!!....Thanks .....! 🤩

[@denisechetty4019]

You have the ear for beautiful melodies🙏🎸. Great tutorial!

[@denisechetty4019]

So simple...but beautiful!🙏🎸 Triad inversions are so useful and essential.

[@claudiafrers8923]

This lesson is perfectly paced and the concepts exquisitely explained. Even after all the scale practices and studying cage sytem I wasn’t able to connect the dots until this lesson. My dream to play all over the fretboard like a pro might now come true due to this lesson. I cannot thank you enough. Subscribed.

[@jeffreyreid7036]

Thanks Jack! Triads and inversions have been the greatest leap in learning guitar. Thanks for this great presentation as usual you nailed it.

[@Dylan-yz9iy]

you explain everything so well! thanks for another great video!

[@rogerloydmccoy]

Your videos always encourage me to pick up my guitar and play. Thanks!!!!

[@unclexmas]

Again. Just beautiful. As promised, Jack. I just purchased your triad course. Wish my 68 year old fingers…and brain, well. 😊

[@jonanders76]

Beautiful lesson Jack. I keep coming back to it, its such a relaxing sound. Really well taught too and very inspirational. Thanks, Im nearly there, just need to try and visualise all the options available and keep practicing it.

[@williamswanson6424]

Cant wait to get the new course! All of your stuff is great!

[@KP11520]

Inversions, when accompanied by others, offer even more ways to make it more interesting. And sometimes easier to change quickly. This is one of the main roads to tasty!

[@Guitarrobb1969]

Jack, thanks for a fantastic lesson on triads and how to use them in conjunction with a scale! This is the first triads lesson that has actually made sense to me! Hopefully, I can now begin to incorporate them in my playing in a melodic way! 😊👍👍🎸🎶✨️

[@thereareplaces]

What a fantastic lesson! Really useful ideas presented clearly and concisely. Thanks, Jack. This one spoke directly to me and I appreciate it.

[@gerysasko3410]

Always a super lesson from Jack

[@RBZ3]

Thanks a lot Jack! Beautiful tone and sooo smooth!

[@xtrupes3097]

This video connected so many cog wheels for me! Thank you!

[@stevenelson6895]

Superb lesson !!! More like this at the same level Jack. Awesome stuff. All the best from the UK !

[@neilsouza3899]

Thank you so much Jack, I love your teaching style!

[@denisechetty4019]

You and Brian are the best online 🎸teachers! 🙏👍

[@davetaylor7821]

Thank you Jack. just been working on this. Another great lesson.

[@dvtoolboxS106]

Finally!!! Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Love the way you explain what you are showing us as you are doing it.

[@williamrobertson1467]

Really loved this one. Got me back to basics after 21 years and I learned a ton. Going re harmonise everything I've ever written with this technique. Keep doing what your doing. Love you bro.

[@TheBbtlegit]

Great job. I'm learning so much from you.

[@victorformosa228]

The way you explain it and break it down is just amazing, this is a real light bulb lesson, many thanks.

[@emanuel_erol_germann]

Outstanding practice material, thanks mr. Ruch (!)

[@nealmiller9904]

I love this as a practice routine!

[@KerryFairbanks]

I always play an exercise with myself like "how can I play this progression by moving my fingers as little as possible" and yes it's basically triads. One iconic triad line is the descending verse crescendo from Is This Love by Whitesnake.

[@mojodojo5533]

I keep watching this over and over. Its the keys to unlock the guitar and its pure gold!

[@BobJones-kj4pj]

Thanks Jack, great stuff as usual

[@nbjansen8255]

Loved that man ...been looking for that to make sense to me like you've done

[@thebigfan217]

Great stuff! You explain things so well!

[@revampman]

Glad I found you.Thank you for turning on some lightbulbs in my head. You make it easy to understand and this lesson changed everything.

[@JCFern]

Subbed! I’ve been obsessed with building and refining my triad knowledge, and this is a superbly presented lesson.

[@joem4757]

Great lesson 👏

[@ptortland]

Stellar video, Jack. I recently stumbled on you channel, and, after watching several of your videos, I'm thoroughly impressed with your systematic, thoughtful, and practical approach to teaching. I also really appreciate your calm, though certainly NOT boring, teaching style! This video is inspiring me to start learning triads all over the neck - and to name the notes in each of the triads to help learn my fretboard better.

[@pcanarsky]

Really really helpful lesson. Thank you!

[@begeirt]

One of the best teaching ever. Thank you a lot. It really leads to freedom on the fretboard

[@stevegunn9971]

The best video I've seen on triads, thanks!

[@tabithafranklin8750]

This video really helped me get triads! Thank you!

[@spudvader]

This is fantastic and just what I was looking for. Looking forward to learning this stuff. Thank you 👍

[@rafalk0]

This is gold! Thank you, Jack!

[@chrisvanallsburg]

one of the best lessons I've ever gotten. Thank you.

[@FretWiredJournal]

Nicely done, Jack!

[@pierrelecrenier]

I just discover your channel! Thank you so much for this so perfectly clear explanation! So nice to hear to your voice explaining all this so well!

[@upuiaropati6839]

Great lesson thanks bro

[@johnborges9201]

Absolutely beautiful! Just got an aha moment relating the triads or just chords in general with scales. Great video. Thank you.

[@derekcooney6576]

On point as ever Jack!

[@dougsmith8430]

Outstanding Jack… so beautiful! This really helps me in understanding not just with my mind and fingers, but most importantly, my ears! 👂 This is really helpful in learning to play while accompanying other guitarists!

[@rockfordfiles5451]

really great lesson thanks Jack

[@rhythmicalremedies4595]

Thank you Jack my playing just got 100% more soulful, Very useful lesson with beautiful music and easy to understand theory!! Love the TRIADS!!

[@nubsnova]

[@SalazarV]

Ty for the lesson

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

You have such command of the instrument beautiful to see.(And flawless execution)

[@spookbones]

Another Gem. Thank you. Jack.

[@patrickhuhn9193]

Great lesson Jack!

[@ernieb3626]

Jack that is so helpful to me. I feel like I will always be a beginner but this makes sense to me. Leaving for vacation tomorrow and going to seriously work on this and try to get it down before I get home.. Man I could use a teacher like you. Thanks as always. God Bless

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

Amazing as ever, thanks! ❤

[@analogrealms]

You have a very cool and composed way of talking and expressing yourself on guitar. Loved it

[@amandamoore8516]

What made this lesson was using the scale shape of the song key to tie things. I have a tendency to twiddle about on each chord which is so complicated that you can get stuck doing the same things out of comfort and is less creative. Now need to do some scale run throughs 5 mins a day to really know them.

[@quietizkept]

So glad I found you here. Of course I want to do my own thing but your lessons on here are the closest to what I'm trying to do. ❤❤❤❤

[@harrisfrankou2368]

Just finished playing...a bonus to see your perspective. Youve smashed my Tritone Sub use out the Park...I'm doing it on piano too! Ive been trying to fake my sorta western swing...but this is an excellent lesson and so well thought out to take it next level. This is really excellent.

[@smithy7034]

Excellent. Thank you very much for this ❤😁👍🏻

[@michaelfolchetti4624]

Thanks,Jack! You taught a beginner so much I m a subscriber!

[@davidsterba9917]

Fantastic lesson Jack, thank you thank you for literally stitching it all together so melifluously for me ; thanks to you explaining these triads so clearly, and sticking to a single string set I finally understood the link between chord progression, the scale, triads and how they all fit together ! Who just switched on the lights? Jack Ruch did, that's who

[@ald7688]

Sweet presentation.enjoyed your path.😊

[@zazoomatt]

Rubber met the Road on THIS Lesson Jack. I have worked real hard to get here. AWESOME.

[@prayashkerung]

Thankyou so much ❤❤

[@marcwhicher5242]

Thank you Jack!!! You're filling in the gaps for us. That your buddy don't exactly show us. He does tell us though. Thank you sir

[@rocketguy2]

The more I listen to you and Professor Trapp teach, the more I realize it all comes down to knowing triads...
