Proficiency TEST - TRIADS - 3 LEVELS

[@ghfdt368]

I learned triads directly from you on Guitar Wisdom. For the past few years I was stuck in scales and frustrated not getting the melodic sound I wanted and if any out of key chord came along it was a huge issue, now i feel much more free as a player and more confident in soloing, then you realise once you practice that all these triads connect together so it becomes much easier to find them on the neck in any key once you get this in your mind,thank you so much Tomo! My next adventure is to now go into diminished triads and scales since thats the next place I get lost in.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great job! Thanks so much for your passion on guitar! Keep reviewing triads! Try this video next! (More clear detail lessons are at my Guitar Wisdom as you know) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3aTgq2tZbuVZ7s

I’ve been practicing triads since subscribing to Guitar Wisdom four weeks ago and I can see that my playing is getting much better and my knowledge of chord tones around the fretboard is improving vastly. I also now hold my pick softly, strum lighter, avoid string noise and I don’t worry when I can’t learn everything quickly because in life you should be kind to yourself!

I've been playing guitar on and off for about 17 years. Doing the best I can with playing with feel and learning some scales here or there. I would discover shapes that sounded beautiful and would connect them. Little did I know they were triads. I never knew what they were but I just knew they sounded good and seemed to be fractions of bar chords. Until I saw your videos it all finally made sense. Now I am practicing them... Learning them and now to use them the right way thanks to you. The weirdest thing is that I feel like I know more notes now and are more comfortable with the neck after learning triads than I have my entire life playing. Thank you so much for your amazing passion for teaching. You are teaching an old dog new tricks.

[@AntiProust]

Since picking up the guitar seven or so years ago, I had "heard" about triads, and thought I knew they were related to chord, which was close, but had no clue about "inversions," which is an unfortunate name tag for something a bit more fluid, which was revealed to me by Mr. Fujita for the first time today. Long way to go, each thing learned reveals a mountain of things to be learned and understood. Frustration overcome teaches patience.

It's really simple! Only 3 notes and 3 choices! Slowly, deeply without any fast expectation will make this easy! Thank you!

Mr. TomoFujita, big fan of your work and I appreciate your time and material you have provided me. One personal note I wanted to share on tuning the guitar. I have found using a backtrack of the notes I am tuning to, I will first tune the string open to the key, then once adjusted I will play a major scale on that string up the neck and see if it sounds right against the backtracks steady pitch, I do this all the way through both octaves. It has helped me get a well round tune out of my guitars. Again big fans, thanks again for your wisdom.

Great video. I am self-taught and know all these shapes already, but practicing it like this helps you remember what and where the notes are on the fingerboard, and if you're thinking of it as notes AND shapes, and not just shapes, you've got a better understanding of what is actually going on musically.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@robwasab]

The way I use triads: I know which pentatonic scale overlaps with a triad so I can anchor the pentatonic scale with the triad notes and it tells me which notes to land on: either the 1, 3, or 5 to sound good. Then, with the triads and the pentatonic scale you can fill in the rest of the scale degrees - 4 and 7 by raising the third or flattening the 1 if I want that sound. Game changer for me.

For people who doesn't understand how he solo over chords at 11:20 ,, he literally used what he taught us. you're hearing chords in his solo because he was using triads while soloing. he set up his own tempo and chord progression and keeps it going in his mind while soloing with triads. In that way, you're making music not scales. The triads weren't played simultaneously that is why it sounded melodic and the rest is pretty much from the tricks he learned from the other songs. This is why you should learn songs as well

While I understand rhe limitations of CAGED form. I don't read music, so many of your lessons lose me.so for someone who has been stuck in guitar, the CAGED system and the concept that the triads can be played all over the neck was mind blowing for me and I can now play rhythm better because of it. I'm reluctant to sign up for guitar wisdom because but seems to assume a much better musical foundation than I have. I understand the idea of scale position but haven't internalised it. I think there are a lot of people like me.

HOMAGAD. I understand it now. While I have full understanding of how triads are built, it is very very different on the guitar. By default, I am a piano player but the fretboard has always been mysterious to me so I am trying to learn the guitar and "translate" it the way I see/visualize the piano keyboard. Both instruments are incomparable haha no matter how hard I try and this video has helped me unlock the problem I've been experiencing for a year now since I picked up the electric. Thank you so much, Professor Fujita! Now I have a structured reference as to how I should practice my triads on the guitar.

i know triads and can recognize them in music, im a student of your guitar wisdom and i try to find songs that are pretty simple and i try to learn them by ear i know these ones from your videos -people get ready -bbking lucile i learned 3oclock blues from bbking aswell a good song is Watermelon in easter hay by Frank Zappa, easy triads and very intricate phrasing of the lead part - id be happy to see you make a lesson on this song because i have a lot of fun playing it along with the record and i want to see how accurate i was i played for 3 years and im subscribed to guitar wisdom for 3 months now and i have improved so much, thank you!

This lesson was fantastic Mr. Fujita, thank you so much for your videos!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you liked it!

It's a really helpful "triad' video. I always can't memorize notes on the frets. And always don't know why chord looks like that and just memorized the shape. Now, I have a better understanding of these notes. Hope I can enjoy melodies on frets soon. 😊 Keep practicing... Thank you very much.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Do not need to memorize! Should not memorize! Those notes are moving all the times so its better to learn intervals. I don't know those shapes! I follow inversions. (The sound)

You are an amazing musician and very much an inspiration to me, peace from Oklahoma.

Thanks from Boston!!

[@j.hammer573]

Very helpful! This is helping me see the chords (triads) in the scale shape. Also, I’m learning to pick different inversions of the triads so I don’t have to move my hand out of an area. Thank you for the channel.

Great to hear!

Good Evening Mr Fujita. This is what I practiced today, from the CAGED System. I feel when I didn't know anything at all, I did manage to pick notes just by the sound of it somehow i felt it sounded good, when I got a bad note at times I just corrected it immediately 😄 now that I am getting to know bit more I feel so vary and conscious to move in a particular way figuring out the correct notes, I can't take the liberty of free moving anymore 😄 this video will help me to make clear transition between each Triad like the way you are demonstrating, thank you 🙏🏽 😊

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Good job! Triads are so important for me and all my students. No shape or systems (anything easy and fast) I like slow and depths. So we can improve more and more... like what John Mayer learned! I teach all the detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom. Only $9.99 a month subscription guitar video lessons. Please dive in!

[@sujayanarula3913]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you so much Master, appreciate your help 😊 I find it difficult to learn through video lessons at this stage Master, i cannot see the chords unless there's diagrams comes along with it. I learn at a slow pace when I get free time, using apps helps me currently, I shall consider your teaching at a later stage when I am well versed to follow your lessons since it will be a methodical learning😊🙏🏽for now I will be your avid viewer. Thanks a ton!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

If you study foundation video lessons then you will learn about chords, scales with Ear Training so you will start recognize chords with degrees. Then you will hear things much clearly! I have many happy subscribers from all over the world. I have beginner series, theory lessons, sight-reading series and much more!! You're very welcome! I just want to help people to have more fun playing guitar! Guitar Wisdom is my passion!

[@sujayanarula3913]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you so much Master I appreciate your help🙏🏽😊 I will go through it. I have mapped out entire triads of the cage system. I have hand drawn the diagrams to follow through my practice sessions. I was subscribing for 2 channels on Patreon where I was learning to play some beginner level songs. Now I can't afford to take lessons. I have tried classical guitar sight reading from my kids books, I couldn't learn on my own at an intermediate level. I tried bit of Gypsy Jazz which I liked it but I didn't have enough finger strength those days to hold the bar chords for longer, now I am concentrating on Rhythm and lead guitar which allows me to create something new everyday 😊

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

If you watch my Guitar Wisdom videos, you can follow them! I speak super slow and you see all the position numbers & degrees on the screen so you learn guitar & you learn music theory & ear training same time otherwise you need tabs all your life! I have thousands of happy subscribers from over 90 different countries! I am so thankful!!

[@bricethebaud9831]

Thanks for all this One remark, in french you have to say the L in SOL ( G ) and not only SO Otherwise when you says SO(L) - DO - MI ( G- C - E), it means something you don’t want to say.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thanks for sharing! In America, Do Mi So, Mi So Do, So Do MI. Thank you!
