I can't see why anyone would gripe about a free guitar lesson. I've been playing for 7 decades, and this instruction is to me, well set out, helpful. Wish id had this in my first year or two. Thanks, buddy!
People love to bitch and moan and create nothing for others.
@@SlavicSon Trolls lol
@@judwatkins9478 I can’t thank you enough! Much appreciated
Thank you 🙏
Agreed playing over 45 years and this lesson was very helpful!
I have always believed the best was to PRACTICE is to play songs. And I've struggled trying to find a way to practice triads in a song. Thanks for an excellent triad practice routine.
@@axe-ologist thanks a bunch! I appreciate the comment
The best Triads lesson bar none on UA-cam, love it, keep them coming
@@liamfwheatley4657 truly humbled by that comment. Thank you so much for the inspiration to keep doing these videos.
Gotta tell you , I think the generosity in the knowledge you share makes you a bro. A very cool and kind person I could support. Thank you for the time you take to help aspiring guitarists.
@@DENNISREID-r7t I am genuinely humbled by your comment. Thank you so much.🙏
THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE OF A MILLION, AND ONE IN A MILLION, YOU ARE THE LATTER , your efforts strike musical gold, thanks fot beginners, I wish you were teaching in 1959,I could have used a teacher like you!
@@frankdardano3182 man! Thank you so much for that comment! Sure makes a fella feel good. Thanks for watching.
Your lesson opened my eyes, demystified playing triads across the neck on all string sets and inversions. Many thanks!!!🙏🏾
@@wilbertmurry6570 thank you for watching ! Keep on rocking my friend
Great lesson! I’ve been playing and teaching for almost half a decade now and I keep coming back to the fundamentals. I love your philosophy: Mastery is not a destination, it’s an endless journey. And how cool is that to realize? Our egos get destroyed on this road and from this, we become humble masters of personal self discovery. My greatest teacher taught me the most important lesson I ever learned: The only thing you really need to know is how You, personally, Learn, Work and Intend to Do With Yourself. Everything else is craft.
@@jonnyroxx7172 good stuff! Thanks for the comment
I've been on this incredible musical journey since the 60's .This one lesson would've shortened my learning curve in ways I can only imagine, Lessons like this change people's future. Many thanks...
Love watching a video that makes me immediately wanna run go grab my guitar. Great video. Thank you!
@@TheWilkness hell yeah! Thanks so much. Keep on rocking.
Thank you for being kind in offering your help for free to those guitar players who are not aware of triads.
@@aureliorea6053 thanks a bunch! Much appreciated
Thank you for this!!! Awesome lesson and much appreciated 🫡 I can’t wait to sit down and start practicing triads now!
I appreciate your lessons and your enthusiasm Shawn. 😊
@@timemerson2691 much appreciated and thank you for the words of encouragement🙏
Hey Joe, first song I ever learned and was hooked on guitar. Played first night club in LA at age 13 on lead. An hour and a half with my eyes closed I was so shy. I am now 65 and play every day and your triad thing is very helpful. Good fkng job and tnx chief!
First song I taught my son when he was 11 or 12; he's now 38.
@@petergolan242 ha ha! That’s so awesome. Thanks for sharing and keep on watching.
This is a really good lesson, I've been learning triads and wondering how to best practice. Thank you.
@@ridley8340 awesome! So glad this helped you. Stay tuned for more.
Cool lesson! "Hey, Joe" is a great song for this. The major and minor triads aren't too hard to learn but until you practice USING them in the context of a SONG, well, you don't know what to do with them when you're playing songs. 🤣 And this song is familiar, accessible, not too fast: this isn't beyond anyone's reach and yet the exercise is one that even advance players could benefit from. (If they're really advanced, they probably already do something like this.)
@@MarkRhodesSongs thanks for the comment! And you are 100% spot on. These are things that everyone from beginners to pros can practice. We’re all in this together.
very simple stuff. im not a beginner but your personality makes me want to listen and deepen my understanding of stupid simple concepts. excellent job.
@@ralphshicatano238 man! You just made my day,. Thank you so much for the kind comment and thank you even more for watching. Keep on rocking my friend.
Great stuff. You had me at the start with the psychedelic Triad spin. Well..., I'm seventy five, what do you expect? Triads Baby!!!
Clear, concise, simple. No longer confused
Thank you so much ! I am struggling to learn triads and this has been really helpful !
Keep those lessons coming.
@@HMan52 thanks for the comment and don’t you worry about that! No shortage of videos come your way
REALLY good lesson, thanks so much for sharing it with us...I hope I can learn these.
@@JWEmbry-wc7qi thanks so much! Keep on practicing
Hi from England. Great instruction and very helpful for a player who has no musical training. Keep it up pal.
@@grahamhorrocks5503 hey there UK! Thanks a bunch for watching. Hopefully it’ll keep on helping you. Keep on rocking my friend.
Really easy to understand triad lesson.
@@IsaacDarrell-cx6wn much appreciated!
Great lesson. It's giving one of those "why didn’t I think of this" moments. The genius lies in its simplicity. Thanks!
@@mikeandrulonis6553 I really appreciate the comment. These little secrets are all over the Guitar. I plan on sharing everything with you guys. Thanks again.
@6:50 technically that's a E shape/form to a C shape/form.
Just different inversions'
Root position for C chord
1st inversion for G chord
Superb stuff. Thank-you, sir.
@@TheJgmacd thank you! Much appreciated
You have a great way of explaining.
@@timlittle1083 thank you so much. Hopefully it’ll help you.
Thanks for the insight and perspective! Greatly appreciated!
@@RaymondLandis thank you for watching! I greatly appreciate it. Keep on rocking my friend.
You teach like you are one of us and not way above us even though you probably are! I know some of my triad shapes but this really helped me identify them and move them together. Thanks. Any smart alec on here has the problem, not you.
Nicely done Sean. I like the way you teased us on how little "fills" can be incorporated off the various triad shapes....you gave us a peek into how the masters do it. Great song choice too for explaining the triad shapes.
@@BabaDontKnow thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching and commenting.
Great lesson, and thanks for taking the time to put this together. Here's my two cents on guitar pedagogy, so take it as a grain of salt, leave it, or whatever...
In my experience, the thing guitar students are missing is simply being able to fluently read standard notation. Everything will make sense when you understand what the notes "look like" on the page. Every other instrumentalist learns to read music, but due to the grid-like nature of the fretboard, guitarists get lazy and go for the low hanging fruit that is dots, charts, and tabs. Then they can never get out of their rut and wonder what "magic" they're missing. Then they see some insert random "shredder guy" with ridiculous technique tell them they don't read, so they assume they don't have to either, but if they do X star chart and Y dot diagram, they will "get there," but only end up with a half assed parroting of whatever random shredder guy was doing in that moment.
I refuse to even take on a guitar student anymore unless they commit to learning how to read and commit to learning a few early classical pieces by wrote. Don't like it? Go find another teacher who will just tell you where to put your fingers. If guitarists would devote even a fraction of the time they spend to all these star charts, diagrams, dot methods, etc to actually learning how to be musically literate, they'd already be so far beyond where they want to be.
Agreed. Look at EVH. His Piano background was the foundation of his theory and toolbox imo of course. I would implore any young person to learn at least first year or rudimentary piano and theory and then, things make more sense. Of course there are plenty of “Shredders” and successful guitarists that have no technical training, but out of any dynamic player, they have accumulated some knowledge of theory through years of playing. Whether subconsciously or accumulative.
Great lesson . Will work on that
@@mattshow21 awesome! Thanks so much
Absolutely brilliant 👍🏻 thanks and I’ve subscribed. God bless
Some pretty cool stuff,ideas,and playing

Great Hey Joe Lesson for learning Triads and Inversions and staying in KEY ! Thanks - I knew it but I'm sure this is going to reinforce my kinetic thinking again !
@@Gstation9 hell yeah! Thanks so much
Great and important lesson. Thank you.
@@bartlycrue thank you! Much appreciated🙏
Started playing guitar in 1974. One of the best lesson on triads I’ve ever seen!
@@chriscrawford1958 thank you so much for the kind comments! Much appreciated
Great lesson ! Thank you
@@user-72K5kid thanks a bunch!
Thanks for doing this. Been trying to learn the triads and the easiest way for me is incorporating them into a song. Thank you very much.
Brilliant! Only Jimi could manage to write an opus and turn it into a practice routine! 😂🐐Thank you for this and totally agree this is the perfect tune to work on these and sprinkle in some 6th’s…
Jimi didn't write it.
@@reedwycoff6937 Yes, sorry I forgot that
@@kriswrobel2175 heck yes! Through all that stuff in there. Thanks for your comment.
Ed from the UK. Great lesson, triads finally make sense. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.
Chiming in here with gratitude, thank you, thank you thank you!
First, the great master Jimi left us with this jewel, Hey Joe. Then a guru like you comes along and share the secret with us Straglers seeking six -string enlightenment. I've been cowboy chording this song for 40 years and now this. I feel like Grasshopper with the flaming hibachi in my arms! This is by far the very best example of how to use triads that I've seen and I've been scouring UA-cam on this topic for the last few years, just trying to get more fluid with my triads.
This is a masterpiece lesson.
I just had to drop my two cents in here with a yuge thank you!
You should put a tip jar up.
@@SteveMeiers wow!! Just wow! Truly humbled by your comment. That means a lot to me to hear anyone. Tell me that they benefiting that much from my lessons. I can’t thank you enough for your comment and your support. And tip jar coming soon lol. Seriously, thank you for the bottom of my heart.
Been playing for 26 years and this is the best lesson I have ever seen on triads on youtube. This will be invaluable for beginners and intermediate players, I can see why your channel is growing man, sub earned. I always thought the triads on the bottom 2 string sets of e b g and d g and b are the most important to master due to where the guitar sits in the mix.
@@Aries_Alpha thanks a bunch and thank you for your support. Much appreciated.
I just planned to make a video like that for my students. Thanks for saving me time!
If you look at the shape you call F shape as being part of an E shape the next shape (you said you had no name for it) is part of an C shape chord. Just take a look into CAGED guitar system. I think it will really help you teaching that stuff! At least it helps me so much teaching and playing it really was a game changer. And you don’t have to change anything. It’s just a very clever way to look at the guitar. :)
@@joegridl Awesome! Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
Great job of making triads understandable in both a technical and most importantly a musical way. It makes practice a lot more fun than just trying to memorize shapes.
@@SyrusEtube spot on! Thank you for the comment. Keep on rocking my friend.
Triads ... THANK YOU!
@@2TimothyBand triads are the key! Thanks for the comment
Woww thank you so much.
Triad inversions were so hard to relate but not in a song specially this song👍🔥
@@bibbibob hopefully it was a lightbulb moment for you. Keep on watching and thank you.
I am finally getting to understand the fretboard based on this video.
@@davidsilvey435 that’s fantastic! Glad it helped you
Gold. Absolute gold!
@@jerroldhewson3600 🙏 thank you so much! I appreciate the comment
Thanks a bunch for your patience, and gettin' me starting down the Triad Journey!
@@Rodedog55 hell yeah! It’s a fun journey
Awesome lesson. There are so many possibilities here. You're climbing up, but we can also climb down through the changes. Also, it's important to let the CAGED system be our guide and apply that all over the fretboard.
@@cobyup10 100%! Thanks for chiming in. Much appreciated and thank you for watching.
Enlightening. Shapes..very good.
This is a GREAT way to practice triads!
Thank you for this!
Hendrix seemed to know all kinds of good patterns in guitar, he demonstrated them often. The more i learn, the more i appreciate just how clever he was.
Great lesson, glad i ran across your video.
I'm 'scribed!
👌👍

@@acusticsix thank you for the comment! Keep on rocking my friend!
Really helpful video if you already know your traid shapes on the top four strings (which I do). One suggestion would be to include a graphic of each shape.
Yea i agree! Super love you for these bro! This kind of stuff really makes a huge difference in taking you up a few notches when you’re wanting more and just dont know what to do ! Appreciate the work it takes to put these up and out there!
@@bars4fd thanks a bunch. Comments like yours definitely inspire me to put more work in!
great lesson. I am watching late at night. Tomorrow I am going to do this. Thanks for making the triads come to life.

Great approach. Going to start this right away. Super thanks
85 per cent of learning depends on the personality, patience, and an open mind, that is constantly looking for ways to teach more effectively.Your personality is that of a rock professor, thats cool enough to jam with students.ITS THE ATTITUDE THAT MAKES IT COMFORTABLE TO LEARN. YOU HAVE IT IN SPADES......
@@frankdardano3182 Man, you just made my day! Seriously, thank you for that wonderful comment. Definitely inspires me to keep doing what I’m doing. Thanks again, my friend!
Great lesson! Thanks much. I and probably many others, would really like to see you make another video with tips on how to include these triads in our soloing. Thanks in advance if you do it.
@@binsjohn1 I just did one. Soloing with chords . Check it out thanks so much.
Thank you for this video Brother! I’m always looking to learn more about this instrument and be able to play better. I like the way you used Hey Joe. It’s a song I play often so it was good seeing a few triads I didn’t know and seeing the ones I do use. Very informative and I learned some new stuff 👏🏾👍🏾🤘🏾🎸🙏🏾

@@robertnagtegaal7580 thanks for the comment! Much appreciated
Great lesson. I practice just what your talking about often but i need to do it more. I am basically a rythym player but ive found that learning triads up and down the neck like your saying helps to create more melodic solos playing over a backing track. Thanks for posting.

This is a good lesson..its a 1-5 progression up the neck on 3 seperate string sets..great place to visualize the neck and nail the sequence
...leads to all kinds of stuff once you nail this eg...1. 6m 4 5😮😮
Very cool!

Thanks for this! Great, practical stuff. Pat Metheny uses the same triad technique during the bridge in Cross the Heartland (while adding volume swells). Amazing sound, and applicable in any genre. Check out Trey's use of them in Phish's Sample in a Jar.
Interesting!
Great lesson. It’s very interesting. I’ve actually been working on this exact thing with triads on the bottom three strings of the Em scale.
