Triad Inversions 1 5 6m 4 - Fretboard Harmony on top 3 strings

Let's learn about triads and how they can be used in a popular chord progression - G D Em C (1 5 6m 4). Each triad has three inversions - Root Position (R 3 5), 1st Inversion (3 5 R), and 2nd Inversion (5 R 3). We will be focusing only on the top three strings. Try this exercise I provide to my students and let me know if you have any questions!

8:17 Diminished chords are beautifully mixed in between the basic triad chord progressions! crazy

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@donindri]

Always impresses me that the simple things are often the most musical and useful. Beautiful guitar, looks and sounds much more expensive. Thanks for posting

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

[@yoshikimizukami]

日本語で書きます。色々なポジションで同じコードを弾く方法が分かって来ました。自分の演奏に活かしたいと思いました。藤田さんの英語の発音がネイティブ発音に近くなっているのに驚きました。ちなみに私は今、中国語を学んでいて発音習得に苦労しています。

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

日本語でありがとうございます。ギターは、同じ音が複数あるのでタブ譜を使わずに度数を理解して超ゆっくり学ぶと演奏が楽しくなります。ありがとうございます。もう英語で考えることが多くなってます。日本が２１年間、アメリカがもう３８年間になります。中国語、ボクも学びたいですが、難しい！発音が難しいです！

[@steellemonstudios]

Good morning, Tomo! Thank you for the positive messages and lessons. Have a great weekend! ☕️

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you! Have a great one!

[@jessejorgensen3931]

This guy is probably annoyed seeing my name posting on here all the time. I have the entire fret board memorized doing what he says. I know my arpeggios now. I can build a minor chord. All because of these lessons. And don't think it because something seems to come easy for you that you can skip things like ear training. You can't. If you want it, this man has all the knowledge you need. Turns out he makes really good music, too. I'm very hard on myself and don't have the confidence i should. My insecurities run just a little deeper than my ego. But this channel is changing all of that. Hope he hasn't made a monster. Thanks always.

[@johnnylayton1672]

Remember to be good to yourself & not expect too much too fast & the monster will remain tamed 🙂

[@PicoDePaulo]

That’s great that you’ve learned a lot. Did you buy his course or just followed his KZbin videos?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I love reading all comments! Amazing that people spend their time to comment on my videos so I am so grateful! No memorization! Nothing is easy! Balance is so important! Thank you for sharing!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! Don't worry! Don't compare! Don't expect too fast! Be kind to yourself!

Beautiful lesson. Thank you Mr. Fujita for your kindness and patience. You opened the door on triads for me and it has been amazing ever since.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! You're very welcome! Great to hear!

[@ryanhoward6623]

11:19 5-27-24 It’s been a build up but this video was ground breaking for me regarding ear training and not having to stare at the fretboard. It takes a while, with less instant gratification than learning a song but the hidden benefits that continue to emerge from your lessons as if on a delayed timer of sorts, just keep stacking up… 🙏🍻

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! My video is about harmony & ear training together.

[@stello1314]

Thank you！

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@nickbellinger1047]

with what i committed to memory about the three inversions i learned from you months ago made this lesson fun ......(still a bit rusty on the aug and dim) ......thank you once again

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing! Don't memorize them! Learn them! Review them! You're very welcome!

[@mirllewist3086]

Wonderful - Seems like an infinite range of musical possibilities just from simple triads.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@johnnylayton1672]

After hearing Pat Benatar's Hit Me With Your Best Shot in a TV commercial this morning, I learned in seconds that the chorus is in E major key with a I-IV-vi-V progression thanks to these recent series of free Tomo lessons. Thank you, sir! 🙂

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

What a great song! Good job! Great song has two parts.

[@Jack.Waters]

Brilliant - 5-10-20 minutes a day? Yes, it will come through. Warm up. Triad practice. Foundation is so important. One cannot run before walking. One cannot walk before crawling. Painful? maybe. A bit boring possibly. Essential - Yes... Be enthralled with the sound of a single note. Only 8% of the World's population can play guitar. If can make a single note ring out you are already in that group. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Study foundation like this... should limit time! 10 minutes is so good! Yes, yes! Foundation is super important! Slightly boring if you don't believe it. Thank you so much!

[@mr.sestari5325]

Thank you

You're very welcome! Thank you!

Tomo, that guitar has a beautiful clean tone!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@katsunori.bb.kawai.6633]

Thank you Mr.Fujita. I review triad again. 🙏😎

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

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

[@fattyz1]

I know these but I’m just in the cusp lol. I even wrote them all out again the other day. Just so I can become proficient meaning do this without thinking. Because of his lessons I started to hear the melody. I heard him say that. I go to the root bite of the next cord automatically now. Which btw are all in the same scale lol.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Don't write them down... think them more often & deeply! Good job!

[@Bad_Role_Models]

I love your videos and a member of guitar wisdom! I am struggling on how not to memorize the shapes but am not sure if I am doing it correctly.. I’ve been memorizing the notes in major and minor chords but not sure how to not memorize triad shapes…

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Good job! Better not memorize them. Combine fretboard theory and ear training together so you will understand them deeply and can hear the difference between those 3 inversions clearly! No memorization! Familiarization! Super slow! Work on less area!

[@LMacNeill]

I honestly don't know how anyone learns theory on the guitar alone. I would be 100% clueless, had I not learned it on the piano and trumpet and French horn first. First and second inversions of any triad on the piano are just so *easy* to grasp. But on the guitar, they're seemingly *random.* They're just all over the place. I mean, I *do* see that it's the same three shapes repeated, but the order in which they appear as you travel up the neck just makes no sense to me. It's totally different for each triad, and I have no idea how you're supposed to know which is which. God, piano is so much easier. Anyone who thinks piano is difficult should be forced to learn the guitar. This instrument is insane.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! No need to worry at all! Guitar is very unique! You can learn about that if you are interested. Pay attention all octaves and duplicated notes by same pitch. That's why you don't want to follow those shapes as easy grip! Very difficult instrument to master it.

[@yutafominha6433]

I just bought this guitar AZES31 Vermilion today!! Because I want to try to play "Just Funky" and "Room 418". And also I'm planning to prepare a tube amp. So I’m going to set my guitar's pick ups. I refer to your tone. By the way, when you set guitar's pick ups, which one do you set at first?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Good job! So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! Front pickup is good!

[@yutafominha6433]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you! I will try to find the best sound by myself!

[@snuffelsuf]

will you say the model of that Ibanez... is it a Japan one... (you said it)... i like the gold emblem

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This one is Ibanez AZES31 Vermilion color. You can buy this anywhere.

Triads rule! Top 3, bottom 3, etc. With 3 notes you can do anything!

Yes! So good & so simple!
