Are you tired of playing solos that sound like practising scale patterns?
Do you struggle to come up with phrases that sound musical?
Do you wonder how accomplished guitarists manage to always land on the right notes at the right time?
If you answered yes to the above, then know that you’re not alone. What you’ll learn in this free KZbin guitar lesson will prove to be the solution to your problems, which, by the way, all guitar players face at one point or another!
You see, the problem with only using scales to improvise or write guitar solos, is that it can force you to visualise large visual patterns of notes.
Turning those patterns into musical sounding phrases that highlight the chord changes of the progression you’re playing over can be difficult.
You end up feeling like you are chained to these scale patterns and you wish there was a clearer way of extracting musical phrases from them.
What a lot of early-intermediate guitar players don’t realise about scales like the major scale, is that within them you can find small groups of notes that allow you to effectively target the chord changes when soloing.
These small groups of notes are called ‘triads’
Triads are three-note chords that often contain a root, 3rd and 5th - the three notes in basic major and minor chords.
If you can visualise major and minor triads across the fretboard when soloing over progressions that contain these chord types, you’ll be able to highlight those chords by playing licks that target them with triad shapes that you can play alongside scale-based ideas.
This free KZbin lesson shows you how to target the chords in a minor blues progression, by using minor triad inversions to play through the I, IV and V chords in a musical way. You’ll learn about triad construction and triad inversions, and then be taken through 2x free licks that put them into practice.
For members of bulletproofguitarplayer.com, I have put together a nice little batch of bonus lessons to give you more practice material for using minor triads in your solos.
This bonus content includes:
- 3x bonus lessons demonstrating licks that target minor triads with TAB & notation

- Downloadable Guitar Pro & PDF TAB files for everything
- Minor Blues in A Backing Track (download & streamable video)

[@hemantrautela6764]

Hey man awesome video. Can u specify what's the best time to actually hit any of those chord tones? While chord changes from one to another

[@BennyVibes]

"Best" is subjective. When youre starting to learn try hitting the target note within the triad on the first beat of every chord change until you're comfortable increasing the difficulty of the exercise. Sometimes guitarists lead your ear by playing the minor 3rd of the next chord before it happens to lead the listeners ear. Start experimenting once you are comfortable.

[@andybarker8787]

I can’t say enough good things about your playing or your teaching style Ross. You deserve a huge following thanks for the great content.

[@PurpleBulbous]

Very Peter Green sounding... Kudos! The only tangent I make is that technically a triad could be any three notes from any chord...so technically, one could play an Am7 triad with Root, Third, Seventh. (understanding that it's not the thrust of this lesson, but technically correct) Love your playing, Ross and direct way of explaining things. Cheers.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks! I understand where you're coming from - I'd be more inclined to call those 'shell voicings' of larger chords but that's just differing terminology I suppose :)

[@mandanglelow1442]

Also you can stack Harmony to any Gordon any key to get lots of interesting harmonic options. In other words you can take the two cord and you can play its Triads and inversions but you can also stack it meaning that you would play the four lydian over the two Dorian not only will those Triads work but also so will the mode of lydian and the major pentatonic taken from the shape of the Lydia. You can do this to any chord in any key that is stacked at any time.

[@Tonewheelsmile]

[@theelderskatesman4417]

Great lesson as always. but I think there are other options than 'running mindlessly up and down the neck' or consciously using triads as chord tones. you can follow/create melodies by ear. It is NOT a reason to avoid theory or learning triads, but it is a valid part of development as a guitarist beyond rote scales. Listening and responding to the emotion you generate in real time is essential to good lead playing imo.

[@turkmusik]

Good information, but I don't think someone who didn't know what a triad is could derive much from it. Wrong? It takes a while to digest information. First, learn about triads and their extensions, then learn to apply it.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

I completely agree. I consider my KZbin lessons to merely be concise introductions to concepts and how to apply them, not full on masterclasses in learning them at a deep level. That's what my online courses are for - learning these concepts in the context of an in depth and logically structured curriculum. A video like this is just to get you interested in the first place.

Beginners problem is when you show that you r a professional guitarist with all the tricks displayed but they find it hard to learn from you

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

I hear what you're saying but I have never made an effort to appeal to beginners. I have actually made efforts to push beginners away from my instructional content because it is not appropriate for their current skill level. I could make more money by claiming my courses/paid content is suitable for beginners but the reality is that it isn't. I design all of my lessons through the lens of someone who has been at an intermediate level for some time and whose progress has stagnated. I'm teaching that avatar what they need to know in order to progress to an advanced level of musicianship. So in short - yes, beginners will find it very difficult to follow my lessons but it's deliberate that they're not beginner-friendly. I enjoy teaching intermediate/advanced material much more. There are many other channels out there who are making fantastic content for beginners - I'm just not placing myself in that camp.

[@tonymccormick21]

The content is stuff we should all know. But I was disappointed with the part where you discussed how to solo across chord changes...you said you basically solo across the triads and then just weave around it. I realise you are trying to sell something (most people are), but this wasn't deep where it needed to be.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks for the constructive feedback. I try to offer as much as I can in my free lessons without the videos being too long and de-valuing my paid content.
