[@bigdog2432]

I’ve watched most the triad videos on KZbin. This is hands down the best

[@GuitarGathering]

Wow, honored to help out. Learn all you can. - Steve

[@henahena7368]

I was starting to wonder if I accidentally signed up for a premium course by mistake!😂 I can't believe such a quality, well-organized tutorial (with PDFs and workouts!) is available for free. Thank God, and bless you for making this!🙏

[@rexbenemerito1943]

As most of the viewers have already said, this is the best down to earth explanation on triad lesson. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@88grinder]

After all this time, I think Steve might be the best guitar teacher ever. Thanks for all you do, it means a lot.

[@GuitarGathering]

Wow, that's quite a compliment. Keep learning. You're the ones doing all the work, I'm just trying to help out. Keep up the great work. I'm glad you're part of our guitar family. - Steve

[@grahamjaehnig2675]

Thank you from my heart, Steve. I have been looking for someone to help me understand triads for two years. This video has got me playing them already, after just following with it twice. Thank you! You are a gifted musician and teacher.

[@GuitarGathering]

Graham, it's a blessing to help out. Learn all you can. -Steve

[@acaraleow2997]

Personally..I can feel that you are a very dedicated and committed teacher in you tube..patiently sharing your knowledge and giving out free pdf too. May God bless you and your loved ones. Thanks.

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks. Learn all you can. - Steve

[@farmernewc]

Not sure you will read this but I have been playing for 40 years . I find That you have a great talent for teaching the things that need to be taught first, and are very important. Thanks

[@kabal911]

Mind blown. Love finding these pieces of content that are just explained so well that they unlock something in your head.

[@GuitarGathering]

Learn all you can! - Steve

[@davidriley5595]

I have been hunting for months for some to show me triads other than bits and pieces. Thank you! You are awesome. Now the hard part. Remembering it all!

[@joejeannegavura3027]

Watched your original learn to play guitar series from a few years ago. It was learning by note and that was too laborious for me and many others . So glad your style is more in keeping with learning to play be starting with chords and thus giving reward to carry on. I must say your video in learning to play TRiads is probably the best I have seen. You not only explain the concept but fallow it up with practice examples. Certainly the best way to learn.

[@bikerk562]

This video is PURE GOLD!!!! Thanks Steve. I've watched a bunch of triad videos.....NONE of them explained them in such a simple to understand way....you ROCK!!

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks Biker. Learn all you can! - Steve

[@Kennardy]

This is the best lesson in Triads that I have every seen. Well done and thank you for sharing your knowledge, teaching skill and documentation. This made my day!

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks Kennard. Learn all you can. Glad you're part of our guitar family. - Steve

[@yokeloonw]

Steve is one of the best guitar teachers around. Very clear and encouraging lesson. Got to pick up my guitar to learn and practice now

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks. Glad you're part of our guitar family! - Steve

[@Blog4Justice]

Guitar lessons don't come any better than this. Thanks, Steve!

[@melturn]

Thanks for these very informative videos. They are so useful and I really like your style of teaching. You are the best👍

[@jep3305]

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks Sue! Glad you're part of our guitar family. - Steve

[@Brittnoelle44]

ive been trying to understand these for months! a lightbulb just went off thankyou!!!

[@stringman509]

Your the first person that I have understood about triads the light bulb 💡 has gone on thanks Colin UK 🇬🇧 👍

[@jimc8121]

WOW. When I started guitar Steve was the host of Gibson's 'Learn and Master Guitar'. And that was a great beginner series. I bumped into Guitar Gathering just last night. Subjects were strumming, hammer on's and pull offs. Even went so far as to discuss picks in detail. I learned more from Steve in 30 minutes than I have from other youtube subscriptions in a year. The quality of the video seems sharper too. Phenomenal teacher. I'm subscribed.

[@GuitarGathering]

Jim, Great to see you. Hope all is well. Learn all you can. - Steve

[@chinto50]

I HAVE been wanting to know more.. I have arthritis in my left hand and its painful to do a barre chord.. This works.. Thank you.

[@marcusvaldes]

This may be the single greatest lesson I've ever watched before.

[@GuitarGathering]

Ha! Well, learn all you can! Glad you're part of our guitar family. - Steve

[@christianmccaleb90]

THISSS!!!! Great Video! ONLY for serious guitar players! You went fast but I think most people sticking with this video know the absolute GOLD your dropping here.

[@GuitarGathering]

Learn all you can! - Steve

[@bernicekemp953]

Thank you very much Steve .... You have shed a light on my guitar playing and practice. It is going to take a lot of work to accomplish what you have demonstrated, however, I think I see a reason for it all. Again, thank you Steve .... Excellent job!!!!! LaMar Kemp

[@skimanization]

I always thought that there's got to be a secret somewhere of how to know the neck of a guitar and view it like a piano. Steve is the best teacher in showing us this secret. I'm not a guitarist only a saxophonist but I was always interested in knowing how to visualise guitar fretboard like I do on piano. Thanks, Steve.

[@josephhaile7652]

I think, this is the the best teaching methode i ever found on youTube Thank you so much.

[@peternoble3691]

"The work is what gets things done." So refreshing to hear! The "One easy trick to unlock the fretboard." attitude doesn't do anyone any favours.

[@Bdmartins]

Thanks for the motivation, amigo

[@barry_hue1552]

You are a great teacher. Thank you Mr. Steve Krentz

[@MJnNB]

What a great lesson. I've watched it a few times now and have taken so much information from it. Thank you much.

[@GuitarGathering]

Wonderful! Learn all you can. - Steve

[@ERICSPORTS90]

TGBTG This is great 👍..Steve... although the lesson was a while ago, I am watching it second time. I stopped after your Triad lesson on 7ths. Because I wanted to study all of your lessons on How Music Works. Sir, light bulbs are turning on every time I look at printed music notation or practice..You are a Blessing Steve. Thank You.

[@donholt9434]

Technical came at a perfect time in my practise routine. However, I found the coaching and upbeat encouragement of even greater value. Thank you!

[@enginelite]

Excellent lesson Steve! Thank you! Your motivational words are right on the mark and very inspiring!

[@davidmiller1218]

This is what I've needed to get my fingers moving again. That example from "Sultans" really did it! Thanks.

[@GuitarGathering]

Learn all you can! - Steve

[@ianmartinez2771]

I wish you cwoould put the tabs on your triads or your chords. That would help a lot on your lessons. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

[@duncanashwell]

Steve…just found your video and the incredibly helpful pdf…I have been playing a couple of years,after a break of 40 years…and as an older player,wanted to step up my playing…triads is really helping,although it is taking me a long time to understand and get my head around all the detail !! … I agree with many others in that yours is easily the best video on triads…I am really grateful for your help,best wishes…

[@rudolfprinsloo3299]

Thank you Steve for this amazing lesson, I can't wait for the rest. It's like a light that suddenly came on. I know what I will be practicing for the next few weeks. Thank you sir.

[@GuitarGathering]

Learn all you can!

[@russ186]

Just came across your videos on KZbin. I've watched this major triads video a couple of times and your style of teaching and examples are outstanding! You are an excellent instructor and really looking forward to this series on triads!! Going to be looking at many more videos from you. THANK YOU!!

[@stuartgonsal8443]

Steve, this is a terrific lesson. Love your methodical and fun/ relaxed style 🙂

[@tianjohan4633]

I've struggled for too long then I' willing to admit to remember the CAGED system, thinking remembering all that will make for easier improv. I'm not sure I need to keep struggling with the CAGED after watching this video? These triads will ensure I can keep chords closer together and that might free up time to either embellish the triad or add notes from a scale. I kind of hope you can take the triad video to the next level giving examples on how to use the triad shapes as a starting point for either soloing, creating riffs or fills or even just clever ways of embellishing the triad if that is possible. So happy i came across you channel. You are really explaining things in a way even my adhd brain can process. Thank you sir.

[@gabrielerussello755]

you are a hero. thanks from italy, success and health to you!

[@Lupoexperience]

This is a must, multi-session watch! So much useful information presented here! What I really appreciate are the tips on how to practice, and then apply, the knowledge that is being presented. I’m only halfway through the video and already building a practice regimen from the 1st 20 minutes that will likely take me about a month to get under my fingers but that, I know, will make me a significantly better guitar player. Thank you so much and Happy New Year! 🙏

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks Jonathan. Honored to help out. Learn all you can. - Steve

[@ravingcyclist624]

Great instructional material ! Really opens up the keyboard. Simpler than the CAGED system.

[@fredhase1935]

Excellent, much clearer picture of the positions on the fretboard!

[@GuitarGathering]

Great. Learn all you can!

[@noelyongco-sy6bz]

great motivational and word of encouragemet steve thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@stringman509]

Just printed it off Steve thanks Colin 😊 👍

[@guitartrailsofshaibal]

Beautiful lesson sir. Mind blowing with real insight

[@maikonleow4078]

Luv the part you mentioned about practicing. Great advice. Worth a million dollars. :)

[@akshaykulkarni5160]

You are a blessing! It’s so easy to understand your expectations!!

[@GuitarGathering]

I appreciate that!

[@daan5361]

You are an excellent teacher. This is the best lesson on triads I found so far, and I've seen a lot, believe me :). It just opens up a lot for me, especially in combination with the PDF. Thank you very much!!

[@GuitarGathering]

Wonderful! So glad you're learning. Keep it up! - Steve

[@mikeburke2366]

Great lesson Steve, excited to go practice this

[@GuitarGathering]

Learn al you can!

[@mikecuttone2550]

So helpful thank you. I previously learned this from another's tutorial but you expanded on it so much and it sunk in better 👍👍👍

[@GuitarGathering]

Wonderful. Glad you're part of our guitar family. - Steve

[@noelmurphy107]

Thank you very much for this, I really appreciate your approach

[@williamwagnon2809]

After years of seeing triads presented in different ways and thinking 'Ho hum...boring' you show me how useful they are in just a few minutes!!! THANK YOU!!! I'm actually excited to go off and practice them! All of the examples that you throw in are great! It's hard not to jump into the next couple right now, but I can see how easy they will be if I just learn these first. THANK YOU!!! You've got a subscriber!! I found you through Desi's lessons/site.

[@GuitarGathering]

William, wonderful! Yes, we love Desi. Learn all you can. - Steve

[@williamwagnon2809]

Love the triad lessons. It really pulls so much together. BUT, ... I am SOOOO distracted by that beautiful L5 sitting behind you. I'm drooling ....

[@musicallyunpluggedmanish9023]

Simply amazing. A super amazing lesson Steve. Thanks

[@danmcnamara7782]

wow!!!! what great teaching - I stumbled into something really good! thanks!!!!

[@ManuandFuci]

Hi Steve, went through the lesson as I heard about triads, I know as inversion (from the German) and the example of "Sultan of Swing" was a real eye opener, some dots got connected, you are so great in teaching. Was struggling with inversions/triads for a couple of years (my progress is extremely slow, I admit) and now I just got a good path to learn the fretboard, particularly with the exercises you propose. The triads are such an enrichment I could not figure out until now. THX a lot. Looking forward getting to the minor and 7th. Just have to practice, integrate in my playing.

[@peted6812]

Just discovered your channel.......great. Keep up the good work....thank you!

[@georgehoaau1833]

Now, I finally found the Triads Prof. Am taking your courses, soon, Sir.

[@landon.cunningham]

Great lesson Steve - I really enjoyed this one. I'm working on this stuff myself and personally I like to think of triads as a small part of a larger CAGED cord. This approach does remind me of this book I had years ago called Fretboard Roadmaps - and they referred to this as the DAF roadmap - because like CAGED the triads on the 3 highest strings move in the D-A-F order and back to D. There's always the same number to skips in frets between them too - pro tip! I'd just use that as an anchor though - learning the roots like Steve says here is the best approach.

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks Landon, Hope all is well with you and your family. - Steve

[@jrvisions]

Wow, excellent instruction on major triads! 💯👍

[@davyhiblot7740]

Great piece, I wish I had started my learning journey with this!

[@Coady119]

Thank you Steve!

[@jimhouse9961]

This is amazing Thank you!

[@timthompson468]

Wow, thanks Steve, this is excellent. I was recently thinking about suggesting something like this. I want to learn all those chords I see people play up and down the neck. I missed watching these live because work has been hectic recently. This reminds me of what Ted Greene was covering in Chord Chemistry, but your presentation is much easier for me to understand. I think I’ll work through your videos, then try to get through Chord Chemistry again. This should be fun.

[@GuitarGathering]

Thanks Tim. Learn all you can. Glad you're part of our guitar family. - Steve

Thank you for the lesson. It may take a couple hundred dollars for in-person lessons to learn what you have offered in this series.

[@D0LGA]

Thank you for the wonderful lessons. A lot of KZbin teachers sell this as their secret technique for mastering the fretboard, but you made it available for free! Do you have some lessons about open (spread) triads, used for example by Eric Johnson?

[@skoffco]

You have a new subscriber sir!

[@dougholsted348]

How do I keep the guitar from moving around while I play. I spend most of my energy trying to keep the guitar in one place. Love your technique and teaching methods.
