Master Triads Across the Neck with this Simple 1-Minute Trick!

[@stephenwhite5658]

Thanks for the lesson on triads! Very helpful! It's easy when you realize it's just bits of the chord! So any chord you play you just break it up! Didn't think about that before,it's making me learn the fretboard so much faster!!

[@jeffro.]

Duh.

[@stephenwhite5658]

Chill out dude I'm just trying to help those who don't get it man

[@MrJesse3030]

Finally a succinct and easy to follow triad video! I have watched dozens of triad videos to no avail. I am so glad I stumbled on this.

[@MOAB-UT]

If there a 9 major shapes- why not 18 including minor triads? Most places say there are 12 main triad shapes.

[@MrJesse3030]

@ i wouldn’t get hung up on that detail if I were you. I’m two years into guitar and if there’s one thing I can say I’ve definitely learned it’s that everyone has a different answer for everything 🤣.

[@zmaan111]

Great lesson on triad and inversions. Recently traded my 78 Fender Mustang with maple fretboard for a Gibson SG Standard. Now I’m regretting it even more. Best lessons and teacher.

[@countercultureluke6088]

Best guitar lesson ever- i have been trying to piece all my triad shapes together into a coherent form like that mostly by ear for the better part of a year now. Gold lesson exactly what i needed! Love your work thanks:)

[@MOAB-UT]

11:51 is cool. "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" P. Floyd jumps out to me. Just walk your third finger on the D string down one fret at a time til you can't go anymore! D#. The other two notes stay the same. Gentle pick through the three notes twice and slowly. I am not sure of the last chord so I just hit the D#. If anyone knows...

[@Psychodermia]

Am I correct in stating that with these triad inversions in mind, if you know the underlying chords during a solo, the "correct" notes to play are literally ALL over the neck? I can venture outside my two comfortable boxes? Who woulda thunk it? I find myself talking to your videos as if we're on a Zoom call. You teach in a way that is finally easy for me to understand. Thank you. 👽✌️

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

The answer to your question is YES. Getting out of the boxes we find ourselves in is what makes guitar playing so interesting. The inspiration that comes from the different voicing you get from learning triads keeps me from getting bored. It also gets me unstuck when I find myself playing same old stuff over and over again. There's so much to learn. I like to mix and match open chords with barre chords and triads to see where it takes me. If I am incorporating a melody into what I'm doing, I try to find different ways of playing a melody, building off the mix of chords I create. It's challenging sometimes, but it's also a lot of fun. My guitar playing has really taken off since I found out about triads.

[@geneciccone4196]

Dude, this is about the fifth one of your videos that I've watched and saved. This is some of the best instruction I've ever seen... accessible for newer players but lots for other more experienced players very well done. Very easy to follow. Keep using the graph format in the smaller screen its very helpful for visual learners to learn shapes that way... keep up the great work!

[@daveStanley-p3o]

I've been playing 50 yrs plus, didn't know all of these bc I get stuck in using the same pattern over and over. SEEING this are important,....very good lesson!!

[@Jbrumdrums]

Every video I watch of yours helps a bunch. Thank you 🙏

[@jamesrolwing4810]

Thank you! This is just what I needed for where I'm at right now with guitar.

[@zmaan111]

Thanks again for a great lesson on triads and their inversions. Recently traded my 78 Fender Mustang with maple fret board for a Gibson SG Standard and have regretted it even more after seeing yours. Best lessons and teacher.

[@jagAntone]

Your lessons are always clear and concise. The presentation is exceptional and hearing the result memorable.

[@jcgarcia1931]

Holy smokes. You just filled every gap in my playing. Thanks!!!

[@magustacrae]

Love your content my man 👊. Been playing for 50 years. I know lots of stuff, i can play, etc,... But you're stuff is just so straight up barebones great information. I started in classical and reading music, etc.. shifted to figuring tunes out from listening to vinyl, replace needle stuff. Got into theory and CAGED in the 90s. Then Nashville Numbers,.. of course its helpful to have access to the neck from different thought processes. Your stuff is just very refreshing for my mind. Easy to access and interesting enough to just engage in new drills for me. Ie,... Play a song in triads only , then, try to play the chord in a different shape than last shape through the whole song. Then, play embellishments and licks/phrases with different triads without repeating ,(well, till ya cycle through). All your ideas/approaches in vids are very accessible to the lay person. Great work! For a song, I go to James James, to build my skills- i go to you 👊

[@Larrymh07]

I'm a hack and play a lot of R&B. For an easy augmented triad I use the root position triad and just 'sharpen' the 5th. Since an augmented chord has enough dissonance, this voicing is sufficient in most applications.

[@sonothunder4774]

This is a great exercise! I've been learning triads but I can't wait to use this!

[@normanwylie1530]

I love the lessons you've provided. Thank you. I had an idea, wouldn't it be so much easier for beginners, if the neck of the guitar above your right shoulder was oriented in the same direction as the guitar your playing? Thanks again

[@jean-francoisjagodzinski663]

Thank you. This is the best video i've seen to explain triads. I spend some time an got through a lot of videos but never found one that was clear enough for me (before I found yours :-) )

[@Rick1198s]

Excellent Exercise Eddie 😊 Thanks for making these types of lessons available to all 😊

[@aegpi]

You are such a good teacher. Love all your videos

[@douglasandtheworld]

Great vid, liking the fret board diagrams which really helps. Very informative and easy to understand. Wish I learnt triads when I first started playing guitar.

[@somarriba333]

10:52 I also find myself having a moment to think about which inversion I'm playing while teaching these. 😁

[@GB-rb1up]

Thanks for the lesson. BTW my first electric guitar was a Fender Music Master, very similar to your mustang. It brought back good memories.

[@bryantcochran5065]

Triads rule! Thanks for this lesson Eddie, helped me get the inversion concept down.

[@spidgeb3292]

visual learner here. if you do this kind of graphic again it would mirror what we see on your fb if you put low e at the top of graphic. I clicked because your visuals are awesome and I need that to learn. My suggestion is imho. Sure others might like it with high e on top. New sub here

[@sirernest4204]

Hey. I’m loving your videos. So detailed and very easy to draw from. ! Il doing my practice on the triads and trying to see how to use them. If you can please make a video on how to use the in rhythmic playing or you’ve made a video please lemmi know then I can use it. Thanks

Muchas gracias maestro!!!😊🙏🙏🙏

[@MOAB-UT]

What would be super helpful is to overlay the pentatonic scale on these shapes for us mortals. I was playing around with that on my own- in my head. It's interesting and can really help how we can actually use these things- especially how when you said you like to bounce around and mix them up- once you have them done. YES. Knowing where they live, relative to the penta scale will be a HUGE win for anyone. Briefly, his first major shape is simply an A major chord- you can think of it as Shape #2 of the major pentatonic scale or you can think of it as the F# minor penta scale- shape #2. When you play the 7 note major scale starting at fret #5, looking at the thin E string, you are really just starting on shape 2, then into shape 3. Simple. Yes, the root notes are in different spots between major and minor but the pattern is the same in a pentatonic scale. The D looking triad is within the shape 4 of the penta scale. Just start with the first triad and figure it out for yourself. It works. Also, would be great to put the 3rd in BLUE so we can visualize that one important tone to help us make the minor triads. The Root in red is fine but the 3rd needs to jump out- it's hugely important.

[@garywoit7300]

Great lesson!thankyou

[@noplacate]

Thank you for the great lesson to better acquaint me with the triads. Now, give me the end game. Why are these important and how do I apply them to my playing. What's the real world reason these will help my playing?

It's very difficult for me to process this when the fingers are backwards to the fretboard pictures.

[@brothermoto1964]

Guitar tutorials should have camera angle the same as we look down on the neck I think

[@desertfox3860]

@@brothermoto1964 Yes, I couldn't finish watching this because it made me dizzy and off balance.

[@OnwardAndEdward]

Fretboard diagrams are usually oriented like this. Think of it this way, it’s a POV of you looking down on your fretboard. The low E is on the bottom and the high E is on the top.

[@stephenwhite5658]

Well I'm left handed so I have to reverse all of it! Just play a barr chord and break it up on 3 strings! Like 1st,2nd,3rd strings, 2,3,4th strings and 3,4,5th strings

[@1-eye-willy]

the hardest part of triads is just memorizing the shapes on the corresponding strings, or thats how it is for me. it can seem daunting and alot of information to take in, but it really clicked when i broke it down to those two components.

[@Phillip-y6d]

Don't look at it that way, just have at it with moving the Cowboy chords. He kinda says that 👍

[@willkirby5520]

Confused on this lesson. How do you find where each triad is played? Just moving from one shape to another left me lost. I get that there are three different shapes I need to learn but no explanation was given as to how to find where to play each shape. Any assistance with this is appreciated!

[@garethtaylor1258]

Look into the CAGED method and it will orientate you to how these triad shapes/positions are related. 🎸

That's a sweet ass Mustang. What year is it? (you answered my question in the video). I just purchased 2 '65's - one Olympic White and the other Dakota Red. I found out the hard way that the tremolo bar literally just sits in the hole and if you tip the guitar forward it falls right out...lol

Great trick, just run through them everyday. Why haven't anyone thought of that before

Is this better to learn or CAGED?

[@Larrymh07]

I see what you did there. Clever! 👍

[@G_Demolished]

@@Larrymh07Yeah, that one was always a pain in the butt.

[@MOAB-UT]

Can you just play ALL the Major Triads and simply lower the 3rd of that shape? Minor looks like you are using different locations which is more work I think. Great info. to know though. I need to learn triads!

[@johnmachado8838]

Forgive me but you said that this was all the A Majors on all the strings but you didn't use the A Major using the 2nd fret of the D-G-B strings which I believe is the 2nd inversion that you played on the 14th fret.

[@officialWWM]

You definitely have a way of making it easy for dumbarses like me to understand, although, I doubt my ADHD brain will ever remember all this 😂 When would I use a triad rather than the whole chord?

@@gkisscovers5320 thank you :)

The real reason *I* don't focus on triads on the lowest string is so I can down tune that one to D and rip awesome power chords mixed in with triad riffing.
