Spread Triads are (I think) one of the most beautiful sounds you can make on a guitar...So here's a lesson about how to start using them in your playing almost immediately!
The presets I'm using here will be added to the folder "Eric Clean" and "Eric Lead 35"
Please leave a comment if you find this type of "lesson" useful, so that I know to keep making them!

This is definitely the best introduction in spread triads that you can find on KZbin

[@carlpleasant]

John....you are literally my favourite guitarist.

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

great lesson john - I agree these just sound more lovely than close triads

[@aaronhenry4320]

John you’re awesome mate. Tone and feel is just another level.

[@TheSI70]

More lessons like this, please👍

[@GuitarsOK]

Excellent job! Not only is the content relevant but the lighting and camera angles etc are “bang-on”! 👏

[@MrConnorPatrick]

So clearly explained. Thanks!

[@theredstash]

Beautiful composition mate

[@fishy4071]

These lessons are really useful and very well presented. Excellent playing in the intro sets up the lesson perfectly.

[@masterbuilder3166]

Excellent presentation John, this is not so easy to do. ! Thanks for going over this

[@othrerir_jussi]

I did these as finger exercises a lot to learn the neck and never really thought about what it would be called. Great lesson and playing.

[@stevelamm2366]

Thanks John. I'll be showing this lesson to one of my students.

[@1jennifer]

Awesome lesson, super clear and sounds great

[@EnigmaEuslam]

Thank you. Just what I needed today.

[@elkhornslough]

Thank you John! I'm an open chord player trying to learn soloing. This lesson helps so much in picturing chord voicings all over the fretboard. Cheers.

[@jackprice7828]

Really nice piece of music John. Just Beautiful! You never cease to amaze me. I am learning more how to incorporate the spread triads. It takes a bit of learning to play a chord in different shapes.

[@danielcgomez]

Another brilliant lesson!

[@darrenjackson582]

Awesome little lesson John!!!! The sounds scapes that are seemingly possible with what are in essence basic chords is amazing...deffo getting into these@@ could this be done with extended chords??? Maybe another lesson there !!

[@mikejones-hs7od]

Great lesson! Very useful this idea of spread triads.

[@tammelin_guitar]

Love the spread triads! Your playing is great as usual. Are you using a shimmer reverb of some kind?

[@johnnathancordy]

Uh for this I'm using this preset kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2nMgZebeMiSpcU - Glitz reverb

[@hughscully]

This is hugely helpful. Thanks!

[@ksharpe10]

I feel like I just watched the opening to Eric J's 1989 Hot LIcks video. Great Job. Some Advanced Caged System or the Spread Cage.

[@picksalot1]

Spread triads/open voicings are really beautiful, and sound particularly on the clean tones of a Strat. Besides contributing interesting voicings to chords, they automatically inspire different rhythms and chord progressions. They also make it easier to expand one's chord vocabulary, and creative possibilities.

[@andysparks8103]

Pretty unique guitarist !

[@timothy5974]

Thanx great lesson.

[@Pascal270]

Always the same question, John : can I get this beautiful backing track on your Patreon please? 😉

[@tc3458]

Where on Patreon is the pdf and back track located ?

[@ehsanhaq155]

Apparently married men have marks on the back off their guitar necks due to their ring. Ever noticed this mate???? Sorry, having a bit of a Sherlock moment here when i noticed your ring. Love the content!

[@john808welk]

I almost exclusively use spread triads. I'm pretty sure I've forgotten how to play anything else.
