Super Simple Slow Triad Lesson That Anyone Can Understand (123 Strings Set)

[@etheped]

I’ve been playing for 35 years, and this is the first theory lesson I’ve understood since Mel Bay Book 1. Playing the G D Em C with a variety of Root, first inversion, and second inversion is a quite satisfying. And the idea of practicing within this as a limitation makes it an exercise in mindfulness. I also discovered about 3 fragments of Phish songs hiding in there. I can see immediately that they’re all there somewhere. Thank you.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. Thanks so much for sharing! Theory is all about intervals & chords or scales on one string approach! Please enjoy playing through chords! Those are basic training on ear training & theory knowledge. I V vi- IV so you can change keys!

[@Plutoman09]

after 35 yrs, I hope your not still using the book !

[@frozennz1]

This clicked instantly! Especially now knowing this I can figure out what the root is for certain sweeping patterns and I will know which chord!

[@johncullen5230]

Very well explained.👏😵‍💫🫶

[@SkrapsView]

Tried this before but now I am ready to triad again

[@rajeshgumber363]

LOL! You need to Triad Harder!

Good job!

Yeah me too but I stopped... Ready to double stop 😏

Tri-add-ing a 5th! It always works for me...

I love how he makes you feel like he’s talking directly to you. It’s like getting a real private lesson!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So great to hear that. I just made this video as if I teach my private lesson!

[@jeffreymurray65]

Right

[@gtsipejr]

Tomo, I'm a lifelong piano player, but only started guitar when I retired. Your lessons about learning guitar apply to just about every other thing. Limit the area you're learning and focus, have fun while learning, stop, drink a beer and be happy. And you're a comedy genius like Mr. Bean. Thank you, GT Sipe

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. It means a lot coming from a life long pianist. Thanks so much! I love limitation & Mr.Bean (Comedy!)

What a superb teaching method. I'm 73, have played for 60 years, and have never been so impressed and inspired.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! So happy to hear that. Took me 30 years to understand what's best to teach because we take common sense too fast!

I’m 61 years old and still eager to learn something new every day. Thank you for keeping me enthused Tomo!

Thank you for sharing! So wonderful! Please your passion going! You're very welcome! Please join my Guitar Wisdom site. More fun!

[@guitarman704]

Great lesson. Big takeaway is don’t overwhelm yourself trying to learn everything at once. Zone in, learn one thing thoroughly then move on. Small steps. Thanks Tomo.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. Thank you.

[@bwedges]

This is the 1st video out of thousands out there that I actually understood. As a teacher of other fields, this is refreshing to see and you've inspired me to be a better teacher as well

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! I am still learning to be a great teacher and a great communicator!

[@cchenkang]

Been playing the guitar for twenty years, until today this lesson finally open my mind, thanks a lots 🙏🏽

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great to hear! Thanks for your valuable time checking my video! You made my day!

[@chrisbottoms6396]

I truly appreciate how simple you explain things. I am a self taught musician, and there are a lot of holes in my theory. It's things like this lesson that begin to connect the disjointed bits of information that I have. Thank You!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much! You can fill in those holes! I Wish All My Students Knew THESE Before They Came To Berklee kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp21qmqNrL-abcU

Thank you for your exceptional patience in posting such a detailed explanation of how to play major triads at a speed that us true novices at guitar can understand.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! So happy to hear that!

[@Pyroun]

Thank you and thank you and thank you again... It's unbelievable and it's a real honour and a dream come true to have lessons from you Tomo. I'm from Barcelona/Spain and I started following you a few days ago. All I can say is that you achieve what you say in your video "will be ok if I make one or two people happy today" and I can tell you that today you did. You have made me happy today and the other days I have watched your videos. Amazing work, amazing person. I don't have words to describe. Big hugs from Barcelona.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! My pleasure! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

[@mederamu2720]

I was persistent about why I can not play like others. I gave up playing then again I started playing guitar just because of your lessons on youtube. It made me try one more last time for learning music and it opened my door. Gradually my progress became visible in my eyes how I want to play. Again today this lesson was so good that it made me smile above everything I was worried about. For me, these lessons are valuable to learn more. Thank you for existing.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I practice my foundation first (Chromatic scale) and Root 3rd 7th Swing groove. If you work on your foundation then you can follow triads too. I teach Guitar! Not show how to play the positions! So great to hear that. You're welcome!

[@supasoul]

THIS tutorial is the clearest on the web ... Coupled with a fretboard map of all the triads !!! Daily Process !!! THANK U SO MUCH

Glad it helped! So happy to hear that. Thank you for sharing! You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

[@Jack.Waters]

I just had a HUGE 💡 moment thanks to Master Tomo. I'm at 7th Fret with a Triangle G. 787. I'm thinking okay. G chord is GBD. Well then hit me upside the head!!!!! 877 is B and 775 is D ❗️❗️❗️ All right there nice and close. Thanks for leading me to this result. In my World the best intructors don't give us the answer, they lead is to it.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. My job is to make people happy! That triangle is 5th Root M3! Three things: So Do Mi = D G B = 5th R M3 Slowly! So you don't memorize! Be familiar with

Light bulb moment for me, thank you!!

[@patrickwomack]

I've been playing self-taught for almost a year and I thought I was ahead of the game with what I knew. BUT After watching some of your videos I scrapped my whole practice to start a new! I learned about so many mistakes I was making, such as being a noisey player, not internalizing what I've been learning so I wasn't able to improvise with the information I thought I knew! and I couldn't even began to even understand triads but this video has gave me so much in just 30 minutes! Thank you so much for going out of your way to teach everyone you can more about guitar!!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Good job! You're very welcome!

[@Magpie7070]

Excellent lesson. It's like going to an old friend's house to hang out . . . and learn guitar at the same time.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

[@jray5363]

Sometimes when you drive too fast, you miss the important signs on the side of the road. SO THANK YOU! For slowing down the triad lesson and making it simpler to understand. It’s the mark of a good teacher to remember where the student is.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@arctycwolf7061]

Thank you Tomo. This is the first guitar triad lesson that has actually made sense. I've been playing for about a year, but until now, I've not learned much about how to play guitar, I just memorize information. This is the first lesson where I've actually learned something I can apply for years to come. Thank you.

@TomoFujitaMusic I got so much from this lesson. The approach of “limiting” so that you can be more focused in learning is huge. It’s applicable to life as well as music. Thank you for all that you do. You are amazing.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Limitation & simplicity very important! Thanks so much!

[@bingmalsi864]

I first encountered this lesson about inversions when I was 16 years old and was to repeat several times during my lifetime. Now, at 67, I finally understand it and it's significant because arthritis in my left hand fingers now prevent me from playing certain chords. I look forward to learning to play alternative fingerings for those chords. Thankful to Tomo for the lesson 👍😃

One of your many gifts is the ability to understand the mind of a beginner long after you have become a pro. That is so essential for teaching! Thanks for breaking this down so well! arigato!

I was not talented at all when I started playing guitar. So this type foundation is super important for all of us. Thank you!

[@mmdemus6410]

Thank you so much. I've played guitat for years. But, nothing. Because of you man; now wath I play seems really to be music. It sounds more music because of the triades I learn from you. Do mi sol. It gives the key to discover the secret of congo music. Now I can easely create my sound. I can jam without problem. You are great. Your simple teaching is powerful. God bless you man.

Good job! C E G on 123 set stings. X X X 5 5 3 = X X X R M3 5 ... learn them slowly without memorizing! That's root position. Then E G C on 123 set strings X X X 9 8 8 = X X X M3 5 R .. That's 1st inversion! G C E on 123 set strings X X X 12 13 12 That's 2nd inversion. That's all you need to know first! Take your time!

You're very welcome! Triads are so good! Thank you so much!

[@arogyakoirala2686]

Tomo, your lessons (here and in Guitar Wisdom) is the one of best things that has happened to me in my musical journey. I've been playing the instrument for 15 years, and I was always frustrated about simply picking up tabs and not knowing what's going on musically (for eg, oh they switch from the fourth chord to a fifth). Trusting the process and just consistently practicing (even if its just 15 minutes everyday) has helped tremendously! I can SEE MORE now! You've lessons have literally changed my life. Onwards and upwards!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. This one is my style of teaching! Simple yet very important. You did a great job! No tabs so you need to be patient so you can go to next level and keep going! Without this... 5,10,15, 20 years or more... still same place! Cannot improve at all! Because TABS! Thank you so much! You made me so happy today!

[@brendanflaherty6696]

As a self-taught, by-ear/by-eye player (on guitar, at least), I have a near-terrifying disconnect between the theory I do know, and any real, tangible fretboard roadmap. So, for me, stuff like this starts to bridge that gap, and is VERY, very helpful. Thank you.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing. Any diagrams or roadmap of the fretboard really don't help making good music! This chord theory is so helpful to navigate the fretboard without shapes! You're welcome!

[@trisinogy]

Thanks for teaching us patience. Your lessons are so rich of wisdom! We often forget how important it is to listen to and understand what we play. Practicing slowly, with pure sound and always trying to get the best possible tone. It's so important. Thank you.

Tomo san's advice here is yet again so true. Learn one thing otherwise you can become overwhelmed and discouraged.

Dear Mr Fujita, this lesson really opened my eyes, I have also watched your other triad lessons but I could only take away one or two positions into my playing.

Same here. This is extraordinarily great stuff.

I learned guitar by ear when I was younger, and it unfortunately hurt me as a musician. I never had a teacher to show me what I didn't know, so I was satisfied to play any song I heard and create by feel. I eventually realized that I was very limited, because I had no real understanding of how things fit together. Tomo has helped me map out how to rebuild my playing and thus be better at creating music. So grateful to him for being an inspired teacher, and for sharing it on the KZbin. Triads... who knew? (everyone but me, evidently - HA!)

[@stephenmitchell7915]

Nice lesson! I have been playing in bands for over 20 years in front of some pretty large crowds. But, not knowing all these triads means I have been trying to communicate with only a limited number of "words" to express myself. Like when learning mathematics, sometimes it is good to go back to basics and fill in the missing concepts.

[@lorigilmore5521]

This is exactly what I am wanting to learn on the guitar. I can play pretty much any chord on the piano, and I understand inversions very well. I know how to make a chord minor vs major. But the guitar, is like the freaking human genome! So, I am focusing on learning the fret board, and then I predict that I will FLY! Triads will be next. Can't wait. I completely agree that chord shapes are not as good as actually knowing the notes! Focusing on chord shapes is what brought me to my knees in the past. I would hit a road block because I couldn't play a certain shape and I didn't know where else on the fretboard that chord might live. Or how to add a 7th, or make it minor. SO EXCITED! I feel like i might finally learn to actually play the guitar!

Tomo. I have been watching you for about one year now. The reason is because the "way" that you teach speaks to me and therefore I remember. Learn slow, don't be too confident, have fun and take the time to "understand" what I am learning. It's a combination of philosophy and music. I am in the process of learning triads and I look forward to your next lesson on the other strings.

[@timfaul1733]

We are lucky to be living in a time where there are so many resources to learn guitar, but the amount of information can also be overwhelming. This is the perfect example of a bite sized piece that is so important and fundamental, taught by a master player and teacher. I appreciate the patience and pace with which this is taught. I have learned something here. I need to practice it and build upon it, but I now have a foundation. I’ve been playing for a few years and I have a decent intermediate level of understanding regarding theory, but this really made sense and I now completely understand this very small part of playing guitar. Thank you for this Tomo. Your expertise is very much appreciated.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. So easy to gather information but its hard to learn that way. I teach less things much deeper way. Thank you!

[@timfaul1733]

@@TomoFujitaMusic thank you for doing this. My wish is to be a great guitar player, but honestly, that will never happen. So I enjoy the little victories of learning something like this. It’s very satisfying to learn and execute that lesson, whether it’s playing something and it actually sounds good, learning a bit of theory or hitting that chord with a difficult fingering.

Thank you for this lesson, Sir. It has taught me that my ear is poor, because I'm having trouble hearing the difference between the different inversions! I now realise I need to work on this a lot. Thanks again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Learn intervals & triads. Please watch these lessons (Super Simple) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZasaGOOo6einbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3K3dXVnmNh2nJI

[@glarrymoreme]

That was really interesting. I like the way you advise players not to feel pressure to be an expert and learn everything at once. Instead players should cherish every note. I will certainly be practising my triads. But only on the top 3 strings.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@ashwith]

These videos are like education + therapy combined. Thank you for making these! I listened to the video on the way to work and it made for a good ear training exercise. I will re-watch and practice once I'm back home.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! I love teaching & helping people!

[@grampaj0e]

Having some experience playing piano, learning these shapes as inversions really made something click for me. It seems much easier to figure out which notes I’m playing now. Thanks!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great to hear that! Guitar is easy to visualize the fretboard but if you do... trouble! This way you can learn each inversions with intervals. You got it! Good job!

[@jeromtablet]

I love watching your videos and always learn a lot While watching this and playing the triads (I already knew how to play them but never understood the notes), I wrote down every position like this: D triad notes: A-D-F# Root position Root - M3rd - 5th D - F# - A do - mi - so 1st inversion M3rd - 5th - Root F# - A - D mi - so - do and did the same for the 2nd inversion and noticed how just moves forward! So easy and simple. I usually don't write down stuff, but this definitely made things click and put 2 and 2 together for me. Thanks :) it's great to learn from you Mr. Fujita, you're so passionate and since you're not completely explaining it you make me do the work and find out what's going on for myself haha!

Then E G C on 123 set strings X X X 9 8 8 = X X X M3 5 R .. That's 1st inversion! G C E on 123 set strings X X X 12 13 12 That's 2nd inversion. That's all you need to know first! Take your time!

I get it, Mr. Fujita... you make learning fun. Thank you so much. I now understand how to build triads and inversions. I just need to learn and remember the fingerings for them all. You are the best.

@@TomoFujitaMusic I'm 56 years old and picked up an old acoustic guitar year ago because my son influenced me because of how well he's done with his instrument. He is a trumpet player on a scholarship at Lynn University Conservatory of Music in Boca Raton. I wish I would have had the patience and attention span 40 years ago to learn what you are teaching now. Unfortunately, there was no KZbin and the information wasn't as freely available as it is today. Although I had a good work ethic at other things, I didn't have the focus for an instrument. Thank you again for providing this information. I am strongly considering taking your wisdom course. I'm sure it's well worth it. All the best to you!

Hello Mr. Tomo! I completely understand the triads! I know them very fluently now. However, once we learn it, then what? How do we incorporate it into our playing? How do utilize the theory of triads into our music? This would be very helpful if you can explain, please!! Thank you and wishing you all the best!! Love your vidoes!

So great to hear that. I only teach one thing at a time. Great question! Thank you! I will teach you something more next lesson.

[@SansibarRacing]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I am looking forward to such a lesson! I feel exactly the same like Wesley Du. Understanding theory is rather easy for me, not confusing at all. It's maths/logic, But when I learn this lesson, I can play triads in root position, 1st and 2nd inversion. When I play, is this really how to approach it? "Ok now I will play A triad second inversion. Next D triad root position etc." (key of A). What does sound valuable to me (pun intended) is to sing the notes you play. Being able to sing what you hear in your mind (assuming there is something you here) is the ultimate goal to me. But then it does not matter if the fifth is on top or 3rd, I play a *melody* (that happens to have theory behind, but it's not theory -> melody). Does that make sense? That's what is really confusing to me, not how you call theory elements. In any case I am really enjoying your lessons & I have the two Accelerate... DVDs at home. It is amazing how much you give to the community. Thanks!

[@jamesnichols5998]

I have always been a terrible improv solo player. I never knew what notes to play and would get so nervous! Now that I have practiced your triad lessons only for a few days, I am already a million times more CONFIDENT just as you said. I'm not trying to do too much, and using the roots, thirds and fifths as a guide around the neck. Thank you so much Tomo. Your lessons are such a great gift to everyone learning guitar. 🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Don't worry! Learn more triads! If you prepare more things then no worry! So happy to hear that! Thank you! Thank you so much!

About 2 years ago this would have been Greek to me!!! I am so thankful that I found this Guitar Journey thing again and practicing and learning the right way, thanks to Tomo, Andy Guitar, Steve Stein and the man that I follow the most and have learned my theory from, Mr. Justin Sandercoe at Justin Guitar! Thank-you very much to all!!! Triads is the next on the board for theory and practice. E-shaped and A-Shaped barre are priority for me right now. Rock on all!!!!

A few take home points for me were: 1. Root position is root, major 3rd, 5th 2. First inversion is major 3rd, 5th, root 3. Second inversion is 5th, root, major 3rd. I also understood for example, the root position for the Cmaj chord is essentially part of the third fret C barre chord. Or the 1st inversion is part of the F-shaped C chord I play on the 8th fret. Also, I have recently been learning to play Dosed by RHCP and after this lesson I have a whole new appreciation of the Em and Dmaj triads John Frusciante is playing on the record. Thanks so much, Tomo!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Good job! Now you can hear each inversion! Learn more RHCP songs & you can play many triad inversions! You're welcome! You made my day!

[@abqbobcat]

Until I heard about triads, I thought that all chords had to be 4 to 6 strings. This makes so much sense now. I first began noticing that guitarists on KZbin were using triads, although I didn't know what they were. I've since found a few instructors online who have demonstrated triads, but Tomo's instructions are the best. Thank you, Tomo, for helping us beginner to intermediate players (I'm somewhere in between.)

[@CalebRice-bi6cp]

Your advice is some of the most helpful I have received for learning guitar or anything else! The way you view systems as a way to simplify but not understand is so true! When learning is just memorizing pictures, facts, or patterns rather than experimenting what sounds good and enjoying it, it doesn't get a person very far. When you really learn the instrument in your hands as far as distance on the fretboard to reach what sounds good, you know how to play so it sounds like music, not just noise. Your wisdom is ever so helpful, and I'm subscribing to your guitar wisdom soon!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! So happy to hear that! I have been teaching more than 30 years and many of us use too much common sense & just repeating from the past. No diagrams! One string first... then two strings... then triads! I just want everyone can do well with ONE thing SO WELL first! Guitar Wisdom is the best place for guitar education!
