[@Kurtis-Schubert]

I can do it! So thankful that I have been subscribed to Guitar Wisdom. Love the combination of the KZbin lessons with the Guitar Wisdom lessons to keep me motivated and having fun learning from you.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Good job! Yes you can! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom! I will do KZbin live for Guitar Wisdom subscribers so stay on our newsletter

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@varanzmaj]

So many great takeaways from this lesson! This is a great one: Don't guess, be sure! Wonderful, and so true. Also: listening is extremely important. Knowing what it's supposed to sound like is as important as knowing how to play it. Thank you Mr. Tomo Fujita. Your videos are the best.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing!! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! I love teach important foundation like this super slowly! No rush! Thank you!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

First thing, don't play. Think deeply (practicing) what note to hear before you play it. Triads are so good!

You are without a doubt, the most gifted and generous teacher on KZbin. Your humble approach to guitar and musical education have increased the integrity of the planet. June 21 2024 is “Make Music Day” around the world now going on in 90 Countries. They have a website.

Thank you for your lesson, I wish as a kid I has had lesions like this. I’m 67 now and still learning!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Good job young guy!

I love these triad lessons. Thank you, Tomo. I can do 25% to 50% (on a good day) maybe. I have been working on these triad basics slowly for 6 months. It is so helpful to remember we must know: 1) note names - 2) intervals of the inversions - 3) do/mi/so, and to listen and hear each inversion. Thank you for offering these fundamentals for free, Tomo. They are a great foundation and gateway to Guitar Wisdom.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great job! Thank you for sharing! Do these super slow so you can hear them before you touch them. Especially practice more on 654 set and 543 set horizontally! So your fingering will be lighter. You're very welcome!

[@GeoffreyMiles-pt3ji]

I'm an old man. and tho I've played guitar on and off I know at this point my learning time is limited. I may never be a good guitarist but your videos make me want to be a good student. Your triad lessons are inspiring and I'm working to master them as best as I can. At my age it's good for the brain, good for the heart and good for the soul. Thank you Tomo Fujita.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing. I teach online subscription video guitar lessons at Guitar Wisdom. Not free, but it's affordable. This way you won't waste your time at all. Free internet... so many information from anybody and each topics are so at random and I don't think anyone can improve steadily & correctly in my opinion. I make each videos as if I am just teaching individual private lessons that's why my KZbin videos are not so popular as other KZbinrs... but I am not expecting any numbers. I am expecting to comfort even one more person. Guitar is so good! Guitar can make you to be so patient, be humble & be kind! I am so thankful to guitar & people like you! Thank you so much!

These type of lessons clarify the bigger picture of navigating the neck. Changing chords and movement of chords into different positions while learning the intervals within the chords in one lesson. Fantastic! I have a lot of fun with the interval lessons thank you Tomo.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! You're very welcome!

[@renzocalcagno536]

Thank you, Tomo Sensei! Triads are VERY, VERY useful. Once you learn them all over the fretboard, you'll know exactly where the scales/arps you need are: 1) Add the 7th to get 7th arpeggios. 2) Add the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th to get the complete diatonic scale. 3) Add bass note for easier ways to play more sophisticated chords: Bb triad over C: Bass: C note + triad: Bb D F = C Bb D F / R b7 9 11 = C9sus 4) Superimpose triads you know to get upper tension/extensions, for altered dominant sound, like this: (Example: Eb triad over G7 chord (G B D F) + Eb=b13 G=R Bb=#9 you get a G7#9b13, which is an altered dominant scale sound (7th mode of melodic minor). This means you can just play the triad to get that altered sound.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! All my KZbin videos are not edit at all. Just like a LIVE private lesson! We edited all my Guitar Wisdom lesson videos. Thank you so much!

[@erroneousfiend]

I am at 100% on this. That's because I've been practicing my triads horizontally and vertically for all keys (including sharps and flats) almost every day for weeks/months. I was inspired to do so after watching this KZbin video by some guitar teacher. I forget his name. Japanese American dude, teaches at Berkley. Cool guy. My improvisation is still pretty shit to be honest but that's because I don't currently have the discipline to follow the rest of Tomo's advice. Hopefully I'll find the motivation to do so eventually - it took a while before I was ready for the triads so there may come a day when I'm ready for all the other stuff too.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Excellent! Good job! Practice more musical sound & use more dynamics too. Try playing G Major scale & two triads mix. Thank you!

Mr Tomo Fujita, The day i discovered your channell and your approach changed everything for me about guitar. Thank you very much! I have a little question for you. What would be the next step of this exercise? Should i move to the B-G-D strings or other string sets and do the same thing or should i do something else? I assume you have wonderful lessons on this at guitar wisdom but due to my country's currency i cannot afford it right now. Thanks for everything!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Good job! After this, you can improvise using G Major scale & two triads mix or learn 432 set next. Then 543 set & 654 set without any finger string noises. Guitar Wisdom has more detail educational material so that everyone can improve. You're very welcome!

[@markosliodakis9436]

Hi Tomo, Thank you for everything! I can do that. i have practised triads but I have 2 problems! 1st i can't really arpegiate so easily and be so fluent when I try to hit the triads and put rhythm. i get a bit lost and slow! Second problem i can hear when I play the triads the next one before i play it but i cannot hear clearly the 3 notes! If for example without looking someone play to me an invertion i am not confident that i will find which one it is! You are the best thank you again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Great to hear that! Good job! You can do it (play arpeggios on one string first then other choices) slowly. You can sing them as Do Mi So / Mi So Do / So Do Mi... no guessing.. try to know & hear exactly those notes. Slowly! You can do! Thank you so much!

Thanks, Tomo. This is inspiring. I have a PhD degree in IT but guitar. What confuses me is that I can understand all these things but cannot see the big picture and cannot really use them. When soloing, I more or less do 2 things. 1)Strictly plays scales that should be played. or 2) Forget about rules but follow my heart. The 2) sounds better but may make mistakes and sounds odd occasionally. The 1), it is always in pitch but does not like music. I have been stuck on this for a few months now.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Your mind is figuring out so much before you are mastering these in depths. Because you are way too smart! Guitar playing and to be a great guitar player, important key is not expect too fast! Be patient! I do following: 1) Learn chord progressions more 2) Follow chord tone, triads etc 3) I always looking for any good melodies and rhythm essence. You are just using information around music. In this case. 1) G Major scale on one string approach. Just one string. Maybe E string. 2) Before forget about rules... need to follow triads! then go for FREE! 3) Learn foundation & mix with feeling!

[@Jack.Waters]

Being too analytical can be a detriment. [From experience.] You really need to just relax and listen. For Triads it may help. The inversions do have order and rotate. R35 35R 5R3 (for now -they are always in one of those three configurations) GMaj will be GBD- BDG - or DGB (find those notes on every string 3 set, 456,345,234,123) So when you go vertically the note you lose you need to find on the next higher up string. It may also help that Mi to So is also a Third. It is all very mathematical. But don't play mechanically. Like building a radio antennae to exact specifications it will only work at that frequency in the formula. Playing guitar needs embellishments to give it flavour. To make any Triad a minor just drop the Third a semitone. Don't learn patterns. Learn the Notes. Seek William Leavitt - A Modern Method for Guitar:1-2-3 Complete ( a Berklee Book that is taught at Guitar Wisdom) Best to you and Play Hard.

[@chenlouis5561]

@@Jack.Waters Hi Jack, thanks. I actually learned and am still learning A Modern Method for Guitar: 1. I just feel that everything in that book can be understood in great depth, and it is very time-consuming to learn what it intends to deliver rather than just play the music sheets. Another reason making me slow in leaning this book is that I did not learn ‘staff’ previously.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@Jack.Waters Thank you for sharing! Triads are so much fun! Yes! Very mechanical yet need to be played with emotion, tone and sound! More dynamics too. Yes! Do not memorize shapes. Learn the sound with super slow process. Thank you so much! Just a little thought can make more better guitarists!

Everything is on the screen of each videos. Position/intervals/fingering and all! Thank you so much!

[@stepmom6488]

Ive never done the “do-re-mi” kind of analysis/practice before. I dont feel very good at singing the major scale

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Singing, ear training with intervals (theory) is super important!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You can practice slowly! Take your time! No rush at all.

If you do it a little each day in no times you’ll be able to sing a major scale easily, you can try to hold the root as a drone note to help you better understand the relationships between the scale notes and the key their in and to give you a reference

Can you do a video about how this helps you actually play? I get that the exercise is beneficial, but what does it help you do? Just different ways to play chords? Soloing and if so how does this help?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! but first can you do this very well? That's first. Then you can freely apply anything with triads. If you add one more note, then 7th arpeggios. Did you watch this video until the end? I played a few soling examples toward end. Thank you.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Without triads... I have no ideas!
