Learn These Simple Triads to Improve Your Rhythm Guitar Skills!

[@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.

[@paulpo999]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@heypockyway6652]

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

[@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.

[@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 .....! 🤩

[@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.

[@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-Jams]

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

[@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.

[@nomadman123]

A very comprehensive lesson that’s easy to grasp. I’ve always thought, “Triads, triads, triads,” so what? What’s the big deal, they’re just chords right? It’s like intervals, and then I finally learned what was happening with intervals. I was getting close with Triads but this was a real “ah hah!” moment. I can also see where mapping out the fretboard should be very instructive.

[@denisechetty4019]

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

[@rogerloydmccoy]

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

[@thereareplaces]

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

[@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.

[@mojodojo5533]

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

[@Emrys345_Guitar]

I just started learning guitar about 4 months ago, was introduced 2 weeks ago to triads, but this was amazing. Your method of teaching, voice, and tone make everything so easy to understand. I appreciate your time!

[@Jay-lr3me]

If you can get these down at an early stage you’ll be so glad you did. I half arsed my triads for about 8 years of playing and I’m finally spending the time now

[@Emrys345_Guitar]

@@Jay-lr3me would it be more beneficial to learn them as shapes then the notes, or should I focus on memorizing the notes that make up the triads as I learn the fretboard?

[@paulotolotti3]

​@@Emrys345_Guitarboth ways are benefical. Particularly, I think its easier visualizing the intervalos instead of the names

[@Kevinschart]

​@@Emrys345_Guitarguitar is a shape instrument. There's no way around it. You should be learning shapes while simultaneously thinking about the intervals and notes. The intervals and notes will come more slowly over time as you continue to study. In short, learn the patterns so that you can play now. Continue to study why the patterns work as you continue studying

[@denisechetty4019]

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

[@unclexmas]

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

[@danlee8090]

Your teaching style is so soothing. Ty for this amazing lesson!

[@gerysasko3410]

Always a super lesson from Jack

[@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.

[@BobEstremera]

This is the most concise, useful and musical explanation of triads I've seen. I will be buying your triads course as well. As a bedroom-only player at low volumes, your style and approach meshes perfectly with how I play. Thanks so much Jack.

[@RBZ3]

Thanks a lot Jack! Beautiful tone and sooo smooth!

[@victorformosa228]

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

[@xtrupes3097]

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

[@michelcordey6018]

Danke!

[@denisechetty4019]

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

[@nealmiller9904]

I love this as a practice routine!

[@TheScaleModelShack]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@begeirt]

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

[@davetaylor7821]

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

[@neilsouza3899]

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

[@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! 😊👍👍🎸🎶✨️

[@joem4757]

Great lesson 👏

[@wagonet]

it sounds SO melodic, you sounds so good. wow.

[@fhidalgo]

This is the real triad lesson applied to progressions. Thanks Jack

[@johnborges9201]

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

[@emanuel_erol_germann]

Outstanding practice material, thanks mr. Ruch (!)

[@GreggandRonSongwriting]

Thanks for the great videos, you not only of the playing part of it mastered but also the teaching part!

[@jerrywilson4371]

Dude you are as smooth as spun honey drizzled over crushed velvet. Thanks

[@JCFern]

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

[@pcanarsky]

Really really helpful lesson. Thank you!

[@CFLDumpsters]

Bought your course, Just starting to get these under my fingers, after practicing shapes on two strings sets I wanted to see if i could connect them and hear the “changes” playing single notes. I can see the potential and am excited to continue to work on these.

[@TheBbtlegit]

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

[@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!!

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

very simple way to work practically with triads. Thanks alot

[@epiphone278]

This was the best triad tutorial I have ever seen on KZbin, Thank You Jack! I’m going to check out your lessons, would love to purchase a course that has this type of lesson in it, just fantastic Thank You!

[@chrisvanallsburg]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@derekcooney6576]

On point as ever Jack!

[@dvtoolboxS106]

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

[@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. ❤❤❤❤

[@thompsonstreet]

A lot of valuable knowledge, delivered in a clear and engaging presentation.

[@jayfreeman-eq5wm]

This is the less that is my lightbulb moment...congrats for puttjng this lesson together and posting....my playing is now at a new level ,I think ,who knows where i may go from here🎉🎉.

[@zazoomatt]

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

[@Paolo-ie7nh]

I love your videos really a lot. Your explantions are so clear, and you are such a calm person, it's even relaxing watching you. They are so valuable those lessons, of course you need to have some basic knowlege on the subject. But I've always learned something from them. Thanks a lot for that. Maybe, an idea to find the triads easier on the 3 positions of the neck. Is to visulise the comlete scale-pattern as you mentioned / arpeggio shapes in that area/spot (Amaj, Emaj, F#min and Dmaj.) in your head, from which the triads are derived from. And maybe if we know first, how to harmonize the 5 scale paterns with its scale degree arpeggios, that might help as well.

[@jacobarnard1469]

Best triad lesson on KZbin and there quite a few these days!

[@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

[@BobJones-kj4pj]

Thanks Jack, great stuff as usual

[@markreddoch6047]

Good lesson. Thanks!

[@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

[@jonasmusic2112]

simple and effective , many thanks , teaching is not for everyone

[@analogrealms]

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

[@detrenullermnd9973]

Great stuff😊

[@nbjansen8255]

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

[@stevegunn9971]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@teerayuthvanneoy347]

Thank you so much

There is a great book out there that shows how to use triads.Bob Garland the caged for rhythm guitar .excellent book

[@spookbones]

Another Gem. Thank you. Jack.

[@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.

[@JanMKarlsson]

Really helpful, and beautiful! 🙏

[@johnnytchung1762]

Yes! This is the best one for me 🙏🙏🙏👍
