Theory Guitar Lesson Using Triads

[@nattyboyo2404]

In my experience, learning triads opened up the fretboard and my visual perception of it changed into something that I finally understood. Things were no longer a guessing game. I could improvise, moving between rhythm and lead a lot more fluidly, allowing me never to be "lost" on the fretboard. Great lesson as always! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@joehartley4428]

I spent the pandemic learning all of the triads, and it has changed my playing so much. It started with watching Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes; he just dances around the fretboard and I wanted to be able to do that.

[@georgemiller9212]

@@joehartley4428 and can you now?

[@KyLesCaster]

What specifically should I be practicing with triads to really get the concepts memorized and understood?

[@nattyboyo2404]

@@KyLesCaster For example practice the D major chord on strings 123, 234, 345, 456 and see how they all join up. Some will be inverted. Pay attention to where the root note is in relation to the third and fifth note of the chord. Make a rule not to play open chords or barre chords for a while until you get used to finding these triads instinctively. Play your favorite songs using only triad chords. Make minor shapes by lowering the third note of the chord. All the best!

[@KyLesCaster]

this is amazing thank you so much. finally have some kind of foundation to work on@@nattyboyo2404

[@benl.4577]

when I didnt know what these were called I called them the sexy chords

[@thecoltsamuel8010]

Ben Lingan haha! Do u mean major chords or the ones on the lower strings?

[@taiyoctopus2958]

lol

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

@@thecoltsamuel8010 he means triads

[@peterxd3558]

Nah sexy chords are like diminished or 9th

[@custerranch]

I thought it was anything above the 5th fret...

[@vitusjrgensen2215]

How can you even dislike Marty’s videos, I have never seen a bad lesson or video here on this channel

[@joeb3590]

vitus jørgensen dude IKR!!!!

[@tannerjamesmusic3945]

sometimes it get confusing but i mostly get it, very good videos

[@CJ-sr4ng]

haters gonna hate. hahha

[@Dankyjrthethird]

some ppl are born with mental problems or were dropped on their head as kids

[@vitusjrgensen2215]

Haha probably

[@lalalulu_]

oh damn im really startin to get the hang of playing all over the neck properly, ive stagnated for a while, improving again feels so good

[@whiteNnerdyINC]

lala lulu i feel this on a spiritual level

[@galacticpills]

Sameeee bro! 🤣

[@donefinished]

Going from a plateau to an incline always feels great! 😄

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

Make sure to learned CAGED

[@illiamedvedev6210]

same for me bro

[@allkeysjamtracks9439]

Triads are super helpful in every aspect. Great lesson Marty

[@SalmanSuhail]

Oh man. Pulling the triads out of the two bar chord shapes just saved me 10s of hours of memorization. Thank you so so much!!! This makes it so clear! 🎉

[@CaptainKarma8]

So basically people take the 3 note combos in open chords and just find where they’re up the neck and you’ve found the triads 💜

[@joepregiato1987]

This is a perfect example of why Marty is so successful. I remember watching this video a couple years ago and it was a little over my head, but it’s perfect for my skill level now

[@RichardGuise]

Secretly introduced the CAGED system. Great lesson Marty! Thank you.

[@ZorgPlaysMc]

@SuperPunch76 pretty much yeah

[@gfd7469]

Love how the guitar and the amp match your shirt! Nice attention to detail. Top notch my friend!🎸

[@davidwassel1490]

One of the best lessons I have had. Recorded the Hey Joe chords, looped, and was busy doing this. LEARNED A LOT! Thanks Marty!

[@georgeboyd9514]

your tuition is easy to follow and understand ,the sign of a good teacher. I had worked out these triads just by ear but this has just put some meat on my knowledge. I'm self taught but will be seeking out more of your videos.Thanks

[@weejim48]

Tried for years to teach myself triads but lost interest with constant failure. Now this has given me a new way of tackling it. Not only that but it helps to understand soloing. Thanks Marty. 🇬🇧👍

[@johnpick8336]

Triads are the lead player's Secret Melodic Weapon ! Thanks Marty !

[@jasontrylovich852]

The song Free by Phish is this exact chord progression with these triads. This lesson really just tied it all together for me. Awesome!

[@swiftbunnyOG]

"I can only count to barely 19"

[@ellispiper6313]

you only have to have her count to 18 anyway!

[@mileswike2532]

what a goober

[@samu-ry2db]

Now i can play so good my neighbours came to me and ask me if i can tune their guitar

[@SandeshShresthaKazi]

Should I be laughing at your joke ?

[@MsDavo123]

samu 🤣🤣🤣🤣you are fun bro

[@MsDavo123]

Sandesh Shrestha yes you should because its damn funny

[@roydroll2542]

😂

[@tchance65]

Aren’t they supposed to ask you to meet them at the crossroads and tune their guitars? 😎

[@psychopompology]

I've never understood this concept before although thanks to your help I pulled out the guitar and started to get it, before long i was preempting what you would do! Great teaching.

[@ranoaarden4900]

I,m inbarest that have been playing for 40 years and learning so much stuff from you and the way you teach it makes it very clear and understandable , not like prior teachers I had so many years ago, thank you Marty Now I have been teaching beginners and I just tell them to look at all your videos

[@hyutyub]

His so humble and makes you feel that learning is good.

[@54highlander]

Great lesson thanks. Finally after 50 yrs of playing to know the how and why is beyond awesome.

[@ashwinvishwakarma2531]

marty makes everything so easy compared to literally anyone else. love u marty

[@AAchurch]

Soooo, Thankful. Listening to this like 20 times. I'm so happy to start on these and your lesson is a great start. Thank You 💯

[@nick1512]

Marty has made me a better guitarist. Started last year learning scales after years of just strumming chords now I have more to add to my arsenal of guitar playing you are the best sir you are the reason why I’m a better player

[@MikeMountainHawkGourley]

Well as usual Marty, you take something that some teachers make into complication and confusion; and turn it into something simple to grasp and understand. Also something useful in many applications. Thanks once again Marty! You da man!

[@TheBoomtown4]

Mike Gourley yeah, there’s a lot here that has opened my mind and I can do the work to expand on it too. He touches on a bunch of related different ideas quickly, I’m excited to practice them all.

[@ASZSephiroth]

I still don't understand.

[@goshafashionromero1933]

probably the most helpful guitar video out there and one of your best very simple and concise

[@elijahBES]

The only vid on KZbin that managed to teach me this triad concept Thanks for your videos💙

[@petermorris5808]

Great lesson as always, my dear sir. Thank you very much.

[@jcmusic7285]

This lesson really opened up a lot for me. Sadly, my lead playing was probably better than my rhythm and this video is helping me fix that. Great lesson!

[@clifford_2zero7]

Okay, I'd say it's time to take a break from songs for a bit and learn some theory. This is helpful stuff right here. Puts things in perspective! Thanks brotha! 😎 🎸⚡🤺

[@badboy250984]

This is a great lesson. I need to learn those triads shapes. I’m a bass player so finding those root notes on the guitar is not a problem for me. This actually will help my bass improvise solo as well.

[@albertkolb2265]

Thank you sir, been playing for 30 years but a nice refreshing video like this brings me back , I never took a lesson in my life only play by ear , until I found you Marty thanks bud.- al

[@scottparrack1421]

simple easy to understand. can actually take this and add to my arsenal.

[@miguelgonzaga239]

Eye-opening lesson, bro. Thank you.

[@stevengriffin1676]

Always wondered about that Dmaj shape and going up the fretboard with it.. Thanks Marty! you've out-done yourself again!

[@58618388]

Marty I loved this lesson because I am just starting to tinker around with the different chords shapes. Thank You

[@BrazosP]

Simply the best KZbin teacher, imo. I bought lifetime videos online worth every penny.

[@carek99]

This is extremely helpful as I try to figure out how to arrange multiple guitars on a simple song. Thank you.

[@kc8923]

Brilliant! Concept ive been trying to understand for a while in a nutshell and easy to follow!!

[@GR_BackingTracks]

This is actually good... I've watched so many of Marty's vids under different channel names, but this one finally jived with where I'm at, after being tutored on +Sean Daniel's channel for months... Finding the Arpeggios of chords helps so much, and being able to play them anywhere on the neck is crucial to being a progressively better guitarist. I took "Hey Joe" and rooted all 5 chords between the 7th to 9th fret, and found a great new exercise. Thanks!

[@patrickestwick5675]

Marty …you are simply Awesome bro.

[@PaulLaurinD]

Should have watched this 5 years ago. You rock MS!

[@wholemullet]

I love the song lessons but this is probably one of your best @Marty for someone wanting to learn their way around the frettboard

[@simon_8540]

This video made me figure out the last thing i didnt know about guitar, its unrelated to triads, massive thanks.

[@mikehussey5682]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Very informative, and the explanation is on point. Thanks for sharing Marty.

[@diegodeloscobos2208]

This is perfect! Stuff like this and more jazzy or funky chords could really exapand vocabulary

[@hennyvaneijndhoven5481]

so, I have something to do this weekend, Thanks Marty!!!!

[@daddy4848]

Henny van Eijndhoven how was your weekend

[@brandonbell4420]

Awesome lesson Marty! Great breakdown that's easy to understand. Thanks bro!

[@treignsinblood]

Tim Pierce talking about the importance of triads led me down the path. Marty just turned on the flood lights🤘

[@leoangelino2980]

Totally opened up my eyes with your simple words, thank you Marty, I've been watching you since I was a kid :)

[@mikestrowbridge]

Marty, your lessons are easily understandable and the most helpful.

[@kikintubino]

you blow my mind with these video bro... thanks

[@nickantonio9670]

Best video on KZbin too understand triads and positions from sliding up n down from chord shapes, should make a PDF on triad shapes

[@butters7056]

Hey Mary can I call you mart? Cool I must say your lessons are truly one of the only lessons that are very clear and understandable especially for someone that's trying to learn the guitar thank you very much for this precious gift you bestowed upon me

[@Dankyjrthethird]

These theory lessons are really useful marty, much more valuable than song lessons imo 😏 Def gonna try this using minor triads too, maybe throw in some dimnished triads too 👀

[@anthonygiustino5080]

the hey joe part is a good exercise to warm up to everyday :P

[@trevorpugh6475]

Marty you're the best, thank you for helping me master (well almost!) the guitar as someone who only took up playing a few years ago!

[@califtom]

I’ve been flying blind so this video was very enlightening. I’ve been playing triads for years. I just never knew what they were. Brian Wilson used a lot of triads.

[@SZRNR3]

Could anybody help please? What the bass player plays, if I'm playing for example a Dm/A? Must be A or can play D?

[@miguelscserra]

Thank you so much for every video marty, keep them coming you are helping everyone

[@Thepokezuma]

More triad lessons please

Love this lesson Marty! Keep doing what you do, much love...

[@mikehussey5682]

This is a brilliant lesson. I'd appreciate it if you did some more lessons on using triads.

[@danielishee1141]

Marty, That was a great lesson! Thank you!

[@RyandracusChapman]

I use triads a lot. Especially the E triad that's almost the E banjo chord,the Beatles chord,but not lol. They sound so vibrant and can instantly make a chord progression go way smoother to me.

[@voodoovoodoo1863]

Fantastic video marty. I've looked up triads but something didn't click. I Just found this video and it all fell into place. Thank you so much
