Dude the amount of help you do to guitarists is non measurable. Ive been a player for 17 years and I've never even studied theory, Just all by ear and such. It's always been intimidating to me. And the way you teach and i must give some credit to lessons with marcel, have been immensely helpful! Seriously!! Please don't stop doing what you do!

[@HayesGriffin]

It means so much to hear this! Thanks for commenting and glad you could get something out of this video. Marcel is a big inspiration to me too, definitely helped up my teaching game. I won’t be stopping anytime soon, hope to see you around 🤠🤘

Love that last triad (ascending/descending) exercise. I've worked through the ascending plenty but never thought to alternate ascending/descending. Brilliant! Going to start working on this. Btw, first time viewer, loved your concise and clear explanation. SUBSCRIBED

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks so much for the great feedback Blake! Glad you got something you could use and I really appreciate the sub. Stay in touch!

This is such promising information! Thank you sir. I have played most of my life, but never really practiced scales. Just learned songs. Now I see the need to develop these skills in order to flat pick and eventually improvise on guitar. I will start with the triad exercise as it makes sense to me beyond the usual major scale exercises. I would really like to subscribe to your premium service now, but that would be sort of a wasted expense until I get this requisite bit under control. You mentioned a free tier. I could not locate that. Again, thank you so much for sharing your mastery.

[@HayesGriffin]

Glad you find this useful George! I think you'll get a long way with this exercise, but don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions. Also, I did a bit of restructuring to the site. There is no longer a Free tier, but there is a Free Trial for the subscription. Right now it's 30 days free inside the Club, but I will switch that back to 14 days at the end of April. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and hope you get a lot out of this drill!

[@DanRaven1]

nicely explained. thanks

[@HayesGriffin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@healyholtmando]

Thanks Hayes! Do you have a similar video for mandolin? Trying to avoid being a Rooty McRootster...

[@HayesGriffin]

Not yet! I'd definitely love to put one together for mandolin. This info makes SOOOO much more sense on that instrument lol

Uh… if I was a new improviser I would find this confusing and confounding. Trust your ear… triads are helpful. You bluegrass folks want to get fast before you get tasty. Slow and delicious rather than fast and bland. Take some time.

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks for the comment Ayla! Dig your track that came up when I went to your channel.
