Your comment about landing on a triad note during a solo was helpful. I quickly internalized it and realized I could land on a chord tone in a "simple to see in the moment" triad which, for me, is more easy to "see" than a whole bar chord. Sweet.

The fretboard has now become even more navigable because of these triads thanks Brian! Btw that sliding into the triad is a great sound and technique. can't wait wait to bust that out at the next campfire.

Glad I stumbled across this lesson on Google. First time seeing you and your lessons. This is probably the most informative lesson I have ever seen by anybody. I’m used to just being taught songs from mostly all other people and you break down the theory. Thanks so much! I wish I would’ve known this years ago.

I wish I had known about triads years ago, I was actually playing them often without even knowing. The difference being I didn't know or understand the theory behind them or how to build on that knowledge. After watching a few of your videos on the subject my knowledge of the fret board is so much better and had I known this stuff 30 years ago I would have been a much better player as they sound more musical to me than scales.

Same!! I’ve been playing many years and always just thought i had to bar the entire freight board. Then i watched the amazing guitar player in the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense film, and knew i needed to learn triads.

@noodlemans 4 ай бұрын

I really enjoyed this lesson. I’ve been learning triads for a few months now, and this really just helped reinforce what I’ve learned so far. Knowing the root, third, and fifth of each triad is super important for targeting during a solo and that’s what I’m trying to get under my fingers. I just love how the triads are little pieces of the arpeggios, and the arpeggios are all inside the caged shapes, and all the scales are right there too. Having everything 1 fret away like you say is the biggest takeaway. Your channel has been so helpful to get over the beginner hump into intermediate playing. For the first time I can really understand how the neck works and an able to visualize how to get good. Thank you!

@stephenbouchelle7706 6 ай бұрын

I am back to add a note of discovery. The triad shapes on the d-g-b strings carry over to some open tunings. Open G and D and C each have a triad of strings that are in the same relative tuning. (The 5, 1, and 3 inversion - and also on standard G tuning banjo). The triad is on a different set of strings depending on which open tuning (e.g. C tuning the first, second and third strings). But it’s there. Arpeggiating and adding some chromatic stuff can open up some ideas in these tunings. I often play with a short slide that allows me to finger frets as well as slide. It also gives you the opportunity to have more chord voicings than just a straight slide-across-the-fret one. I’ve been having fun all day with this triad set in open D.

Thanks Brian! Love these videos on triads and chord tones. You called it simple but that's exactly what I like, it's so rich and creamy and full of soul if that makes any sense.

@TheRavinoth 4 ай бұрын

Another amazing video. The combination of chords (triads), the intervals and then finishing with chord progression examples is the gold standard for what a guitar lesson should be. Too many videos will talk about ONE of those things, leaving the player unable to integrate the information for months (or years) until they've uncovered all of the related material to bring all of the information together.

@timwells1838 5 ай бұрын

Being a person who has predominantly played chords/rhythm- this is such a useful lesson, in expanding my chord sounds and also improvising some cheeky little lead fills too. Bravo Brian and Thanks!

A great summary. I've been working on Simon Candy's video on the same subject and this compliments it beautifully. As a 50 year beginner, I've been trying to understand how competent guitarists find those notes all over the fretboard. Now I understand. 1. Learn your cowboy chords. 2. Learn the CAGED system. 3. Plug in the triads, understand each root. 4. Improvise! Thanks Brian from England 🇬🇧

@jimconway4422 2 ай бұрын

you can look at the comments of the videos of every KZbin guitar teacher, and somebody will say words to the following effect: "you are the best guitar teacher on KZbin." And maybe everybody who says that means it. But for those of us trying to blend theory and practice with making beautiful music, I have found no one who even approaches the simple, understandable but subtle brilliance of Brian's approach, his eloquence (not in a fancy way, but just the clearest, most economical use of words to convey meaning, and connect to other concepts, without burying you in verbiage), and his pleasant, likeable demeanor. It's beyond the best there is; I think it approaches perfection (in that it would be impossible to do it better). If I had found Brian a few decades ago, before I was old, my life would have had a very different trajectory (I'd be meeting Jackson Browne for a cappucino and a songwriting collaboration right now, instead of sitting in my stupid office "working".... ;-)

I like the way you put a barre on your C shape lower triad. I always fumble around trying to hit the individual notes with 3 fingers. The barre makes it a whole lot easier. Enjoyed this video. You taught me triads in the first place but this really helps. Thanks Brian.

You’re a GREAT teacher. I’ve been a student of yours for years now. You offer the information as a concept to study and then apply later. This approach works for me, as opposed to learning things note for note without understanding the musical logic behind it. Thanks for all that you do.

@rajennaidoo7 6 ай бұрын

Hi Brian love the way you declutter chords, chord tone knowledge which makes it so much easy to digest and implement in soloing immediately albeit with a bit of internalizing what you taught by rewinding your video. Always 'big takeaways' in all your lessons. Profoundly grateful once again Brian.

Dude, you have moments of divine instruction, and this is one. I've been a patreon supporter for a while, and this is why I'm happy to patronize you. My only thought would be around CAGED terminology. "Container" is a confusing term in this context. With my band and people I teach, I just use "shape" because people get it. You actually use "shape" much more often than "container" in this lesson. A small thing. You are wonderful, and you have revolutionized my playing. Thanks again.

Very good. My eyes didn't glaze over the way they usually do whenever someone starts talking music theory, scales, interval's, inversions, so on and so fourth. I either fall asleep or just can't take anymore and switch over to watching something else. It's difficult to make Guitar playing unenjoyable but some folks have a real knack for it. Not you however. I actually watched the entire video and learned something. Thanks.

Great stuff, Brian! Always on point with where I am in my learning journey! I've been playing around with triads lately, and their embellishments. What I haven't figured out yet is how to relate the pentatonic shapes to the triads...but that's probably because I never learned all 5 pentatonic shapes. That's what I'll be working on next, is how to relate those 5 shapes to the 5 CAGED shapes, since I already figured out how to relate the CAGED shapes to triads. This just helps me to cement it all in my brain, so I can do it automatically. Can't wait to watch Part 2. 👌 👍 🤪

This is a really well presented information. A great big penny has dropped for me. I've been looking for a while for a strategy to avoid using the same chords as my bandmate.with this it's a doddle to move around the neck and put little lead fills in without having to switch back and forth between barchords, which is awkward or wasting time moving from the bottom of the neck to a fill position, in the right scale. The scale is right under my fingers.

@jwdesqiii Dunno why not. I think the best way to learn guitar is…to learn basic piano. Unlike guitar, triads are something you start learning and playing almost as soon as you learn scales. They’re a rudimentary. In fact, it’d be better to learn triads before cowboy chords. (Also? When you learn piano? You learn major scales. And minor scales. You don’t need anything else. (At least mot for the first 30 years )
