![A Simple Way To Learn Triads On Guitar [By Shape & By Position]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lNFv-potxVw/mqdefault.jpg)
Some people can't seem to figure out how to apply this after and this is how this video has been helping me:
- if you analyse the chords you realize that there are only 3 main shapes (that change by one note when you get down to the B string) and if you memorize in each shape where is the root you can already make up any triad anywhere on the fretboard
- if you also memorize the 3rd and the 5th you can already make more complicated voicings like minor, diminished, augmented, 6th, 7th, 9th, etc
- also it's kind of a cycle, the more you do it the better you get to know the fretboard and then the easier it is to make chords up anywhere on the spot later
- you can also analyse the relationships between the chords in the circle of 5ths/4ths and play with secondary dominants
basically there's a lot to it if you keep playing and being creative with changing voicings and analysing the chords and how their shapes and sounds relate
The best thing to do is turn on the radio.
His voice is so chill and soothing lol. These triads combined with the guitar have a very grand sound to them.
Dude is the Bob Ross of guitar lessons. “Now let’s put a beautiful little triad....right....there...”
"So there is the C on the 6th string. Let's make him some friends and put an E and a G over here."
not even close man, but good try stealing peoples comments. Guthrie Govan far outdoes any man in being the bob ross of guitar. I dare you to say otherwise.
Thank you Ashton for your contribution to this community! Presenting great foundational material in a soothing manner that sounds beautiful is no easy task. Even the setting and lighting is very good. You have a great focus and aim. I’m sure it will reach the intermediate avd even more advanced student who really wants to learn the neck better and extract a beautiful, solid sound out of their instrument. Connecting the dots with triads and cycles is awesome. Keep sharing your stuff.
For those wondering : He is Playing a James Collins Guitar....they are based in the UK i think
The power of triads is phenomenal
Your insight is invaluable Preciate cha
Feelin yah bruh. The best vid ive seen explaining triads and using them musically.
I love this. Never know triads are useful this way.
Thanks for this lesson, very logical and methodical system for triad mastery!
Great video. Simple, clear, very usefull and straight to the goal. Thanks a lot...
Thank you for this beautiful lesson❤️
Yes! Good to see more of the New Zealand homies! 🙌🏻
Ahhh sweet. Knew this dude was kiwi lol took more notice of the guitar and the playing.. mean though
that sound it´s pure candy!!
Fantastic lesson on triads!!!
Awesome, daily workout! that's what i'm looking for! chees from switzerland Ash!
This is so helpful!
It reminds me of the improvisation at the beginning of "A Life Unfolds" from Kurt Rosenwinkel in the live "The Remedy"... Very nice though and now I know what it's all about, thanks!
This is amazing thank you so much !
triads are so important, it will take a really long time to master them👍
That was very helpful, thank you !
Love this! Great stuff!
huge fan of Ashton since I discovered him on Instagram, I'm super happy and grateful for this masterclass! Ashton is fire!

Pretty good lesson Mate.
dammmn that tone
Superb lesson
Thanks for watching!
Yes Ashton! Great to see you on here!!! 💪🏾💪🏾
yeah I wonder where the neo soul part kicks in hahaha but the lesson is very good for any guitarrist ;)
Those are some really sickened inversions dude. XD
This approach is introduced in the book Almanac of Guitar Voice Leading by Mick Goodrick.
Now there’s a name you don’t hear too many folks mention! A brilliant guitarist that didn’t make the household name list. Thanks for bringing his contribution in here:)
The album Rare Birds with Goodrick and Diorio is a work of art
If you really want to understand triads on the guitar look into George van Eps harmonic mechanisms. A lifetime worth of work in three notes.
Nice stuff, I'll check it out!
Nice lesson. I've never done it with the "broken" chords. I think doing that in one key would be really helpful to contextual things as well. e.g. C, Dmin, Emin, F, G, Amin, Bdim, C. Cycle through 4ths or 5ths. Do another cylce with each inversion and broken chords.
but now we gotta do it ourselves. and aint nothing but value in that.
The lowest C major triad is first inversion open triad : lowest E , C , open G.
it does has a lower note (open E) but the open G (at least to me) makes it higher altogether
He is purposely concentrating on sets of three closest strings. In example you gave, you utilize stings E A and G, while omitting D string. Which is fine, but in the context he is explaining, would bring confusion for those who are just starting out with triads
I wish there was a video on the actual rhythm of this genre to put these triads to use in that way.
Also, if any of you would like to connect this concept to using triads as upper structures implying chords with extensions, here’s a very good place to start. Triads discussion about half way through the video. ua-cam.com/video/32Q1uiZISN4/v-deo.html This may very well be where our friend Ashton is heading here in a follow up video. Patience and time are key. A lot to master with simple triads alone!
What an Acousticaster
Very important concept indeed! One question: How did you tune your guitar? It is so much in tune in all all strings along the neck. What guitar is this one, loved it.
my boi
Great lesson and demonstration'. This approach becomes infinite when you start including modulating, chromatics etc. I like the way these are ideas, not tunes.
Well said! Ideas and concepts are the best way to find your own voice
A fantastic way to approach this... I love how you sake that neck to inject some extra life in the actual grips :-)
Pretty sure the technical term for the “broken position” chords are spread voicings
Who cares, he sounds great.
@@alitheprodigy_ I'm not saying it as a criticism of how he sounds. Just pointing out what the common language is, hopefully to be helpful. "Who cares"? uuh, musicians? Who are trying to employ concepts into their music making and having a shared language to talk about them?
@@fiscaldisco5234 Okay, all good. Just sounded like you were being critical of his Layman's terms. I was like why does that matter if he knows what he's doing?
I just hate it when guys get overly technical and try to show off their knowledge, so much that they forget that the point is to make good music and make people feel a certain way.
@Me, Also Me I totally agree. I just thought the guy was trying to diminish his abilities because he didn't call it by it's correct name. Honestly, judging by his skill level he most likely knew that and couldn't remember right at that second.
Scott Tempan all those terms are similar but not exactly the same as I understand.
Inversion: a chord played with a chord tone other than the root as the bass note (3 5 1 or 5 b7 1 b3)
Spread voicing: a chord played with the root tone in the bass but with the rest of the chord tones out of order (1 5 3 or 1 b7 b3)
Open/closed voicing: literally how close or far apart the chord tones are played. You can play inversions or spread voicings either open or closed.
To be clear: of course you don’t need to know these technical terms to sound good. I didn’t know any of this most of my life and could still play. But knowing the distinction can give you some ideas on some interesting ways you can spice up your chords.
7:35 so magical
Do you have tabs for that?
This is the one thing that being forced to learn piano as a child and transitioning to guitar later on is useful for. The guitarist revelation that chords are actually just 3 notes is quite clear to a pianist 😂😂. Awesome stuff man, really cool
I think I've heard my grandfather play triads on his steel guitar.
Hi! What guitar model is it? Greate sound!
Great tone!!
His voice is how I imagine if neo soul has a voice
Dreads instantly give you the ability to play Neo-Soul

Osiris5622 who is he...he did amazing
9:00 does anybody know why he chooses the more difficult finger positions than the obviously easier one?
Can you give me some advice on what kind of electric guitar to buy? I see hollow body several pick ups
NZ? How you get a place that looks like that here lol
correct me if I'm wrong, but flat is descending and sharp is ascending. So when you were playing all the chords in order, shouldn't you have said sharp instead of flat?
Anyone know the name of the voice leading part from the intro?
“why you should learn triads”? Interesting video, but does it answer that question?
I think that by hearing the different sounds you get of them. And he only showed the Major ones, for me the answer is that is a great resource when playing or improvising.
The answer is “because it sounds 🔥”
Just flatten the major 3rd
My problem is, now I can play all those triads, but cant find a way to apply them in real music...
Voice leading bruh
Hey Thank you Cat,, Very cool lesson. But it would be great if you went a little slower and or showed grids (on screen) of your fingering. Making easier for us the viewer/students to get the chords down. By the way that is a very cool guitar.
That's a sign that you need to learn how to build triads, that will teach you all the shapes,but that is a different lesson, and I think you should learn that before tackling this.
what a beautiful guitar u have , what is that ?
Nice exercises. Chord diagrams would have been helpful though
Best guitar triad lesson on the internet. Get ready for your 10,000 hours...
what is that guitar?
Hi. Can you recommend a cheap e guitar for beginner genre jazz, Neo soul , RnB? Pls? Thank you.
Anything that can give you a clean tone will work (fender/squier, gretsch, some epiphones like the ES335)
Cool. What's the string in this video?
how or where to use this traids?
first thing is pat martino lesson yes?
He also speak neo soul
Do you have a pdf of these?
Hey Pickup Music, what should I learn if I am totally beginner and very new to music theory?
Basic scales and chords, notes on the guitar neck
What camera setup?
Godd How do you get that sound?
porkloin.github.io/guitar-triad-practice/
I've been following along with the exercises from the triads section of this course and put together a simple web-based practice tool that can definitely help. I like the idea of following the cycle of fourths, but I'm usually playing stuff in key so I wanted to put something together that could give me a bunch of random inversions on different string groups so I can try to internalize some of the patterns.
Check it out and lemme know if you think it's useful - I can also make some changes if people find problems with it!
If you leave the inversions set to nothing it'll just randomly pick an inversion on any of the string groups you want to practice on, otherwise it'll restrict to specific inversions.
so to begin with should i pick a key and tonic and start learning the chords?
That's a great way to explore the fretboard. Thanks!
What was the choral voice leading thing you played at 7:34? I've heard pat martino play something similar. Can we get a lesson on that please? Thanks!
Its 153 and yes from Pat Martino example.
@@guitarguy4372 thanks!
I love you Sleepy I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find it. Mind leaving a link (or title)?
@@ItsKennyChoi did you find it?
That’s a gorgeous guitar. Does anyone know what kind it is? Thanks 😊
That is James Collins Guitars.
Would it be best to memorize the shapes or know the 3rd and 5th in every key to locate the inversions?
tom de meulder What I’m doing is getting the shapes under my fingers first, and later today I’m going to practice playing each shape but starting from the root, then 3rd, then 5th. Reason being is if you know where the thirds and fifths are, you can change the chord quality at will by diminishing/augmenting the thirds and fifths, while only having to memorize the major shapes.
@@roblosh8417 That makes sense indeed! Thank you.
Can you find this lesson in one of the pathways in the app?
This lesson is from Ashton's Masterclass called 'Advanced Neo Soul Guitar', available on the site!
What amp is he playing here?
What Guitar is that ? NICE ; )
Haha Ash is my neighbour!
What guitar is that? Wow
James Colins
Are their diagrams of this lesson?
Look up a fretboard diagram on google images.
Then look up how to make Root, 1st n 2nd inversion triads. That's what he shows you at the beginning of the lesson. All root, 1st n 2nd inversions of the C major chord (CEG) in any fashion across the frets 0 -12th fret.
Next look up the circle of 4ths/5ths.
He moves in the 4ths direction, so 4 away from C is F then 4 from F is Bb
B flat is needed to keep the major scale pattern consistent, WWHWWWH.
This list of chord triads are the first chord of every key moving in the 4ths direction, C, F Bb, Eb Ab Db Gb Cb, what he does on the thickest strings:
6,5,4
GCE(2nd inversion)
ACF(2nd inv)
BbDF (root version)
BbEbG (2nd inv)
CEbAb (1st inv)
DbFAb (root v)
DbGbBb (2nd inv)
EbGbCb (1st inv)
CEG is root version.
EGC is 1st inversion cause E is lowest tone, 1st possible way of inverting the chord.
GCE is 2nd inversion cause G is now the lowest tone, 2nd possible way of inverting the chord
So - What are the Triads presented in this video?
I know all the inversions, but I'm still trying to understand why this is useful...
TheYearThree voice leading son!
To understand why this is so useful you should check out Sean Angus Watson channel, and look for two videos of him.
The first one I recommend you to watch is the one called:
“Chord Melodies and a Sleepy Lullaby”
This will give a great example of a song that applies a lot this concept of triads, and I hope it will encourage you to practice them.
The second one is called:
“Lesson: Introduction to Chord Melodies”
This one will explain you the main idea by using a very basic example.
Good luck.
@@jonahpaz. Thanks man!
Is he from NZ? Sounds kiwi.
Daniel Simmons of guitar lol
On the *nickk*
what guitar?
Nice contents!
Just one question..I don't understand the title of the video..why have you called it "neo soul guitar lessons"? Open triads, and triads in general are surely not characteristic features of this kind of music. So I should call it "pop guitar lesson"..or "fusion guitar lesson"..or "jazz guitar lesson"...
