I am crying for happy right now. After watching four of your videos, I finally understand the guitar fretboard. I have played open (cowboy) chords for over sixty years, but never have been able to play scales or tunes with the ease I can on a piano or violin. I have understood music theory for over fifty years. But understanding a keyboard and the grand staff has not helped me understand the guitar. The circle of fifths helped me understand the violin, but it just made me feel the guitar was upside down and off kilter. YOU have finally helped me understand how to SEE scales and triads on the guitar. This, plus your videos on mnemonics and the circle of 4th (duh) really IS unlocking the guitar for me.

[@markrobinson4263]

what i looovvveee is this guys honest motivating delivery - buy the book - make him rich as he is delivering sooo much great free content - the pdfs are like treasure

[@donk9132]

Very nicely done Rick……people tend to freak over learning theory……teachers tread lightly scared to even mentioning the word…….you keep on banging the drum driving the message home……you do a great job teaching I might add…….many thanks sir !!

[@jcdobes]

Ricky, I'm getting back to guitar. I had a neck strain that prevented me from learning. Thank you for your book. I just order the spiral bound book so now I will have 2 books! Over the years I have slowly learned about guitar, but there is no teacher better than you. You are brilliant and have a knack for tying up loose ends for me. Can't say enough about you!

[@philbutler3642]

Brilliant Ricky, I've been playing (badly) for 50 years. Now finally have the time and motivation to put some work into it. After stumbling on to a few on line lessons I have found you. As per the other comments you teach it so well, looking forward to increasing my ability. Yes I have ordered your book spiral bound. Thanks a million

[@namronmanelok4119]

every time you teach these triads, I learn a little more and ways to apply them.

[@mjb_33]

Okay, sold, added your book to my cart. Thank you Ricky.

[@joemccarthy641]

Thank you Ricky. Enjoyed the lesson. I printed the 2 PDFs and tucked them into the back of your book for future reference.

[@InsolentMusicalPeasant]

What a tremendous lesson. I'll be chewing on this one for a long time. Much appreciated!

[@charlottesimonin2551]

Glad that you connected this to information related to piano. Inversions and extensions are part of guitar that are not mentioned, but are part of piano from the start.

[@bryangraham7926]

I am very glad and really grateful that you produced this book,

[@RandallHayter]

What a nice explainer on caged and where triads live!

[@bedstag]

@16:30 - Bless them all, the long and the short and the tall! Brilliant lesson - Thank you

[@Aries_Alpha]

Fantastic video, been playing for 25 years and this is maybe the best video I have ever seen on triads., earned a sub from me mate awesome content. If only we had this kind of info at our finger tips back in the 90's lol.

[@FlaschDJ]

I thought I’d seen ALL the best fretboard diagrams, then I saw this (at 12:08)! Beyond brilliant. Thank you. Also, Ricky is exalting this triad/CAGED perspective; but it’s not BS. It’s the real stuff. VERY valuable.

[@paulbrennan3734]

these are the best lessons I have found so far on youtube

[@mjjames2442]

Another great lesson from Ricky. Always a pleasure.

This is the master key tutorial to learning the 3 master shapes. Thank you very much. Goes my thanks too, to Google and to what I call You Tube University.

[@JB-se2ef]

Got your book now helps me follow along with your lesson’s, and I can keep referring back to it. Best guitar book I’ve got and I’ve got a few believe me. I would recommend everyone that watch’s your lessons, too get this book it really helps. Thanks Ricky for all your hard work much appreciated 🤟🎸

[@philjames1019]

This is a fantastic extension to the lesson mentioned in the Ebook Ricky (Lesson 25) .... Really enjoyed this!! 😎😎

[@Bluesmandesign61]

The unified layout, related to music theory of the guitar, I knew it must be there, but no one showed it so clearly. From studying scale layout in aeolian I could see something unified must be there, but I did not know the explanation. Thanks Ricky

[@jacquieoneill4561]

Just ordered the book yesterday, can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@BuntyDave]

Thanks again. Brilliant

[@johnhensley220]

Another exceptionally illuminating lesson Ricky..your book is also tip top direction..much respect and appreciation for your expertise and guidance..

[@danbronk9685]

wish I had this lesson several months ago - I figured this out on my own - but it took a while to wrap my head around it since no one showed me - by knowing triads - made it easier to know the Caged and see things in my minds-eye better

[@sircharlespeggington3560]

Eyup Angus, thanks for buying my book and your kind words. Means a lot. Ricky

[@Andrew-cs1td]

I really like the green shadow to show the other diatonic notes while emphasizing the chord tones, it’s a really great visual. You could have explained what the green shading is in the lesson for people who won’t necessarily be able to connect the dots.

[@timrokomasi8287]

Well done sir.Even I can understand it and will incorporate the new knowledge to my guitar reportoir thanks.

[@jwilkinson341]

Great lesson caged put to work

[@jasonlight8813]

Fantastic lesson. The thing I'm immediately aware of with your channel is that it gives the blocks for learning, as opposed to the parrot approach. That alone sets it apart from so many other copycat KZbin channels. I'm looking forward to exploring your other lessons 👍

[@rickysguitar]

Exactly Jason!

The parrot approach is for nincompoops.

Hi from Phoenix, Arizona. Just subscribed. Looking to learn some more so appreciate what you’re doing right here.

[@Mygames627]

Ah just found your lesson on triads.

[@mrskint55]

Another great lesson Ricky ,I just received my book today so I will plough through it ,there is a lot I know but a lot I don’t know. Thanks for sharing.

[@byromtaylor6482]

The reason i like this is because you wrote your book inline with a learners cognitive function - What I mean is (we dont all learn the same way) Some learners learn (remember) quicker by reading books- and some learn quicker by listening or using visual stimulas (video)- and we all learn guitar by kinesthetic (doing hands on) means and the way you sell your book ( Binder ) (Video ) encompasses it all...Not all guitar tutors would do this - basically I like the way this guy uses chunking as he cals it and these memory tricks and triggers to engage learners and make it stick...I think he is an excellent tutor - I know this because I teach - (not music) but i use simular principles to motivate - “If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.” ― Albert Einstein ....I just wish he could learn to say Capo without sounding like an old batman film KAAAPOW! But its a different world in Yorkshire...eh up

[@jeromekovacik1198]

Hey Ricky, As you were flowing through the minor Triads, I swear I was starting to hear "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric J.!!! And "I Love Your Book! I've shared it with friends so that they may buy one as well.

[@maxkelter3561]

Yes, thanks for drilling home the root, 3rd, fifth forms of chords in various positions up the neck of guitar. Can you tell what number pattern of the pentatonic scale one is in when you do that?

[@leoself9858]

I liked the Anglia TV riff.

[@mystimpy]

Thanks!

[@rickysguitar]

Thank you, super appreciate this. Ricky

[@glenclarkchidley3637]

Holy shit Batman… It’s 2:45a here in California and im awake for some reason. What am I looking at?… and then POW 💥 that diagram is clear as day. Why I couldn’t see it before 🤷🏼

[@geraintevans6645]

Thanks your a star where can i get your book

[@MichelDespres]

You always explain beautifully, simplify complicated theory. And its really inspiring to hear your blues playing full of soul. This lesson will be really useful to add different tones in my playing. Just one question though, other than the 5 R 3 you show in your diagram, what are the weird green line ? Thanks for your great generosity !

[@comicmorphiclong-boxevolut4773]

The weird green line signifies for me, Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father, cycle of fourths, not sure why its there though.

[@jamespconnolly3890]

Hi Ricky, these three shapes for triads are gold. Can you explain the green lines please. I see that these are also three repeating shapes, but not sure what they signify. Many thanks.

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup James. Those are just the natural notes.

[@noli0408]

nice

[@alanRoberts-m7k]

Eyup Ricky, this is Al from Switzerland. I must be really stupid, but I don’t understand where we count from, to get the notes. Al

[@eduardois7003]

Maestro, I've got lost in this lesson, I understand where you are going but I could not figure out how do you make work the figures that provide you the chords. Can you suggest other of your classes help clarify on this matter. Another problem may be that I still rookie on music theory.

[@konarain]

No PDF..I love Your ideas tho' Aloha

[@lesliecumberland834]

Trying to find your book and the cost Rick

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Leslie! You can find the details in my store which is here: rickysguitar.com/store :)

[@davidcardano963]

Isn't there more than just three inversions? R12 R21 2R3 23R 3R1 31R, that sort of thing.. :)

[@rickysguitar]

There’s a 3rd inversion but that only applies to 7th chords. I think you might be looking for permutations which involves splitting string sets similar to how we play drop 2 and drop 3 chords. However, whichever way you want to paint it with triads the sequence is always 5R3, R35 or 35R using the 3 master patterns.

this is very good- thanks. needs many revisits!

What's a nurt ? ;-)

[@jeffturner6263]

Ta' for the lesson, just one query, on your graphic/pdf, what do the green lines represent? as I found them a sleight distraction to your explanation. I'm from your area "Ey up", So I'm too tight to buy your book, maybe one day, thanks once again.

[@darylgholson4481]

Speaking for myself, I was confused because of the different ways an instructor would play chords. It looks like you’re using your pinky finger to make a G.. I guess it’s bar chord technique that is different

[@michaelknight1251]

Sorry Ricky, so simple but i am having trouble with what makes an R an R😊

Root note: the note that gives the triad it’s name. A Major triad root is A, B Major triad root is B etc

Ricky I just bought your paperback book on amazon and it does not have this The 3 MASTER Shapes That Unlocked The Guitar For Me, The diagrams! I am disappointed. The major and minor diagrams with the three shapes so brilliantly integrate the CAGED system into 3 shapes and its not in the book! oy.

[@rickysguitar]

Yeah but the triad video came out after the book. But there’s still links to free diagrams in the triads video. Watch my latest video as that gets into how CAGED and triads superimpose over each other. I have a definitive method but would be a whole book/course in and of itself.

[@JD-bk6wj]

Ricky, I'm out of breath, and I'm lost.

[@FlaschDJ]

Here is my unsolicited suggestion: Learning, almost by definition, means “working to understand what you didn’t previously understand”! You don’t understand this yet. PERFECT! Stay with it. You will LEARN. And, I assure you, this is very, very worth learning. What’s incomprehensible now WILL become clear, if you persevere. You’ve taken the first step in announcing you are “lost”. Keep trying!
