Thank you for this. I’m 70 and have banged away on a guitar for 50 years now. I have parkinson’s disease so playing is not easy - but I continue to play because it is so good for my brain. This lesson will give me something to work on. I subscribed to your channel. Jim in Oregon

Larry is my dad. He told me about meeting you and mentioned the children's book you are working on. As a bass player and someone who loves 90's music we often aren't learning the same stuff but we do jam together on occasion. I like triads because I usually am able to improv a bass line over a song he already knows just by playing root 5th octave.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

That’s amazing and your dad is so cool This video I did really fast in relation to what I did with your dad at my Mom’s house. He gave me your information so I’ll text you and reach out for sure. Yes, the world needs great players. I’m working on a song with Bass Player from 311. Not sure if he’ll ever finish it because he’s always on tour. Ha ha.

@mrelmoresmusiclab took lessons in Nashville so I can recognize the good instructors from the bad. This lesson can easily give a beginner a good start. If you pair an Aminor/Cmajor pentatonic lesson with the one above, it would be a Grand Slam.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

That's awesome! And it's funny you should mention Am and C, because I did that exact thing after I got home from my mom's house. haha. In my head I am always thinking about how to teach people how to connect the dots in the long-term. I have been getting quite a few requests to do some videos on the Nashville numbering system. I always try to give a bit of theory here and there. I'm going to start a video series that I put out every Monday called "Music Theory Mondays" I will use the circle of fifths/chord wheel as the foundation for it all. Should be fun.

Great video. I can confirm this will open up your guitar playing in a great way. For some of you who struggled to put your thumb over the top, especially if you have small hands, I recommend an EVH Wolfgang. It is a very small neck and easy to wrap your hands around.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, just a little bit of knowledge everyday to help you get better. And...great tip for the over the neck. I know that Ernie Balls have small necks too.

[@SO-bp2uc]

@@mrelmoresmusiclabyes, and many G&L’s have that 1 5/8 nut width too. I have one with a medium C. The Wolfgang is a bit easier because it has less meat on it. I always wanted to try an ENMM though! Especially because they have the 1 5/8 nut that I prefer.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Very nice, yeah I had an EBMM Valentine but the neck was too small for my liking. I think you can find ways to get the thumb over and kind of adjust your technique if needed, but a lot of people will need a smaller neck indeed. It's great we have so many choices to fit our tastes. :)

[@SO-bp2uc]

@@mrelmoresmusiclabI definitely agree it’s possible with technique. For me, I have arthritis in my hands so a thin small neck is best for me. But honestly, if I play any neck too much, some part of my hand ends up hurting, even if it’s something that’s never hurt before lol. So I try to play o two guitars with different necks to keep my hands as pain-free as possible. I try to get as many miles as I can out of them.

[@sir-mike-a-lot]

I'd like to add, a C chord in the 8th fret, has a more or less CEG's than in the 3rd fret or 1st fret. So when it comes to making chords, you have to know what "flavor" you want, i.e., more C, or more E or more G's in the results. This little seasoning is part of what shows the difference between a seasoned pro and a beginner. The tilt of the pick ( or fingers ), and whether or not you play close to the bridge (sharp noise) vs close to the neck (mellow sound), is even more flavor. You could just cook a piece of meat in a pan, or you could toss it on the grill, add seasonings and such - and the difference is night and day. These are some of the methods that make beginners wonder why they don't sound like the pro's they listen to.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

So funny you should mention this....yes...playing guitar is just like being cook or chef. I have a bunch a videos on triads and all of the triads have their own flavor or vibe. It's such a long and cummulative process. If you put in the time to learn you will always be growing as a musician. Thanks for sharing and I will be dropping a music theory series next Monday.

Hendrix played the bass note with his thumb. this gave him an extra finger to play the licks but still having the bass root. John Frusciante mastered the technique as well. It will really stand out in Little Wing and Under the Bridge by RHCP. helps to have a long thumb

Great vid I was thinkng about triads I just heard of them recently I studied music in a class in college, but I never been able to read music, even though I play several instruments, it's also tough cause I can't use my pinky when I play guitar my the middle two finger become non responsive when I use the guitar 😢 so I'm gonna have to use my first three fingers to do the triad oh well

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I think you are going to create your own style and vibes for sure. You are totally going to figure it out. I think Django Reinhardt messed up his hand in a fire and he was an amazing gypsy jazz guy. Tony Iommi cut parts of his fingers and rocked Black Sabbath. You are going to crush it. Keep going and thanks for watching. Lots more to come.

Nice video, nice Guild! I have a F-44 from the mid-80s. I am working on comping myself in jazzy bluesy swingy songs, and trying to flesh out arrangements with partial chords that move from one chord to the next, or provide illustrative value, if that makes sense, such as a bass line worked into it. I'm having some issues with being able to do this with new songs I try to learn. I have a limited toolbox and am looking to expand it.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

That's awesome. Guilds are amazing guitars and it sounds like you have a great plan moving forward. Stoked to have you here and one day at a time. :)

My pleasure. Keep going one day at a time. :)

Subscribed I need to learn lots of triads😊

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

You are so nice. Thanks for that. I have so much more coming on triads. I have a whole bunch on here already, but I think I am getting a better idea how to deliver this. Keep going and thanks again for the sub. :)

No worries. Keep going 😎

Guitar sounded good to me!

Thank you. Still can't believe my mom let me take it home. ha. Never know how things will sound on the iPad. Keep going one day at a time.

[@billbaumiester6764]

For some reason once you started strumming between the C and A chords, the pattern reminded me of Peggy March’s hit “I will follow him” which Whoopi also reprised in the Sister Act movie. Strange huh?

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

That's cool. I need to check that out now. ha.

Slowly working through George Van Eps - Who HAMMERS this in, it's taking awhie, but I can feel it coming together. It's crazy how aversive people are to even the most basic theory but really, just leave them behind

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

You make a great point. You do have to put in the work, but just do it a little bit at a time and connect the dots. I'm going to start a series of videos this Monday called "Music Theory Mondays" I will be using the circle of fifths as the main foundation. Would love to know your thoughts. You are doing it right. Keep going!

[@willtonerockstarshb]

Hey Elmore, cool lesson. Question: is there a lead guitar solo in popular music that is comprised entirely of just triad chord shapes (not arpeggios or chord tones), but with a few added notes for melodies (like a 2nd or 6th)? "Bad Moon Rising" solo is an example. Know any others?

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

That’s actually a great question. I’m gonna have to give that some thought for sure. Seems like there’d be some more CCR songs that do this. And honestly, triads are the perfect way to outline cord, progressions, and play lead parts. In fact, it’s funny you sent this comment when you did. I was just thinking about making a video showing how to solo using triad shapes. I’ll hit you back if I can think of any. I’m gonna need to go listen to bad moon rising now.

[@isabellagonzalez5167]

Love this lesson. I just tried downloading the Dropbox link but it says nothing is in the folder, could you let me know if you get a chance to re-upload it? I’d love to use the chart! Thank you!

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Awesome and thanks for the kind words. Shoot! Let me check and I will get it in there when I get home later. Keep going one day at a time.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Okay, so I put the Am and C major chart in there and I put a G major chart as an extra. The triads are inside of the bar chords. You will totally get it. Let me know if that helps.

[@isabellagonzalez5167]

Wow, thank you and thanks for the donation. That is so kind. I have a lot of videos on here and many of them have charts too, so grab what you need. Just remember guitar is hard and that it's a journey. Stoked to have you here and I will keep the videos coming. Lots of great peeps on here. :)

Thanks so much. I’m trying. lol. Keep going.

[@briangunn21]

Damn a lesson from Josh Homme

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

haha. Yes. QOTSA rock! Since you mentioned Josh, I must share a funny story. In the 90's my band played a pretty big show with Kyuss (Josh was their guitar player) and Ween. The show totally crushed. Kyuss and Ween were pretty big and had quite the spread backstage. My band had our name and some water. Josh told us to go eat all of our catering and was beyond a cool dude. Their band and Ween played crushing sets. Years later in the early 2000's I heard a QOTSA on the radio in NYC. Loved the song and when I saw the music video of them could not figure out why for the life of me the singer and guitar player looked so familiar. It dawned on me that was the dude that let us eat all of their food. haha. And on a side note, we got to play that big stage because we sold out the little stage. That's kind of how they rewarded you for doing that. The band we played with on the little stage was another band called Blink. No 182 yet. Playing in a band in the 90's was amazing Life is a trip sometime. Keep going. Time to listen to some Queens now. :)

[@fionnmcnessa]

Thank you so much brother It's so hard to find anyone to teach triads here in YT it's almost like they won't share the knowledge. May have great luck in your life for your help. Greetings from the Emerald isle

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

No worries at all and I love helping out in any way that I can. I have lots more to come and I already have a whole playlist on triads on the channel if you want to check that out. Emeral Isle is gorgeous. Keep going and stoked to have you around here.

[@fionnmcnessa]

@@mrelmoresmusiclab god you really do have a serious amount of helping videos could you please recommend one where I can actually learn how make triads shapes I really need it down string by string fret by fret. I really want to be able to play and get a different voicing while jamming with my friend it's a drag playing the same chords as eachother I'm also getting some lead guitar lessons so I can fill in harmonise and solo to his chord progressions

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

@fionnmcnessa i love the way you think you’re just like me. Yes, I really need to be organize all my playlist. I’m starting to get a lot of videos on here. When I get home, I’m gonna link you to a couple of really good ones. And then I’m gonna make one tonight or tomorrow that will be helpful as well. Will hit you back in a couple hours.

[@fionnmcnessa]

@@mrelmoresmusiclab thank you so much take your time my friend hope you've had a good day . Look forward to your lessons very much appreciated.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

No worries, here's a recent one I made that will help you understand triad shapes by stringset. I am going to make a bunch more of these because these will be the ones you actually use in playing. I use them in my bands, with friends, and alone. Let me know if this makes sense. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4XWZXt_gNaDpsk

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]

This is a great lesson, and I couldn’t agree more. The earlier someone gets introduced to triads, the earlier the fretboard opens up, and the more a player’s musical vocabulary grows. This is also a GREAT rhythm lesson, and it doesn’t matter how great a lead guitar player someone is: Great rhythm players get the gigs.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Yes, you are totally on track and couldn't agree more with what you said. Rhythm is the foundation for everything we do. We just get wowed by all the lead playing when we are younger. Look at Keith Richards, he is a master at rhythm. Keep going.

[@benkistler2405]

I'm missing the top portion of my fretting hand thumb from a work accident, so I can't really do the thumb wrap around trick, I rely on palm mutting more for that. Same effect. It can be done. Just had to adapt. Tony iommi played without chunks of his fingers too

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

Love it! I was showing this to my mom and she was telling me how her hands were to small. I told her she would come up with her own style for playing. Iommi is was one of the greatest to ever do it. And, I think Jerry Garcia had some kind of accident to his hands. Nothing will stop us. Keep going
