UNLEASH Your Guitar Playing Using Triads Like The PROS!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Lets get excited about our guitar playing again!!! In todays guitar lesson I will teach you a simple way to unleash your guitar playing to its full potential! All pro guitar players use triad shapes. In this intermediate guitar lesson, I will teach you 3 great rock triad examples, Jessica / Allman Brothers, Up around the bend / Creedence Clearwater and You shook me all night long / ACDC. All of these classic rock tunes use the structure of triad shapes to create the solo riffs. As a beginner, we learned simple, open string chords. Those simple chord shapes are movable and we can use them to our advantage. Some of the most iconic guitar, licks and riffs use triads for the structure. We can improve our rhythm and lead guitar playing by starting to use triad shapes around the fretboard. Visualizing the fretboard this way gives us a lot of confidence when we play a guitar solo or riff. We can definitely level up our guitar playing almost instantly by using these triad shapes. Many of our blues rock guitar heroes use triads to visualize the fretboard. I will break down some iconic rock guitar riffs in this intermediate guitar lesson today. All of these licks and riffs use triad shapes. I hope you have fun adding this to your guitar playing. I use triad shapes in my guitar playing all the time. And I know once you start using the triad shapes, you will use them all the time also. You also will be able to improvise with confidence. With your lead and rhythm guitar playing.

Every bit counts man!!! You are breaking it down into bite size pieces. Thank You Rusty!!
A little better every day! Sometimes that’s all we can handle! I really appreciate you watching my videos. Have a great rest of your week Robert.👌
I've been working on learning triads for a while. Then I got stuck learning the inversions. After a while, I get overwhelmed with learning stuff that takes time to internalize.
Awesome lesson as always! Thank you, Rusty
Hey Jason, for me learning, how are guitar heroes used triads motivates me! I wish I did that early on! Let’s just keep getting better at this stuff together! Talk to you later, Jason👍
❤
These three songs are very good choices for teaching the triads. They cover the varieties of many different styles of songs. This is a really great lesson giving lots information on learning triads. You present your lessons very well. Thank You for sharing. Thank You for all your really really great lessons. Stay Safe. Take Care. Bye for now.
I’m glad you got something from the lesson Jim! Thank you for the positive feedback! Have a great week👌
Funtastico!!! U R certainly not Rusty on the Guitar, Rusty! Another Great Guitar Road to go down! Thank You 👍
I appreciate that! Thanks a lot for watching! Catch you later👍
Wow!!! You’ve opened up a whole new world for me. Thx a bunch. I’m hitting the subscribe button!!!
Welcome aboard GS!!! And so many other classic rock, wrist, or built using triad shapes. You sound excited. And that also excites me! Thanks for checking out the lesson and have a great week.👍
Great lesson Rusty💯❗ Love your guitar. Happy Thanksgiving. May our Lord bless you and cause His face to shine apon you❗❗❗👍👍👍
Thank you Darlene! I appreciate your kind words! May God bless you also🙏
Marvelous Rusty is always the MARKSMAN when it comes to Lead Guitar strategic playing strategies.
You are a Three Star General this field man.
I like the way you put things! I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching👍
So again, I had all this stuff in the toolbox but didn’t know how to use it. Finally, I get to learn a famous riff with glee. I’m learning why it sounds so good. Rusty, you are da MAN!
Hey Cathy, let’s get a little better every day! Good to hear from you and I appreciate you watching my videos! Have a great week ahead, Cathy ❤️
Great lesson Rusty! If I'm not careful, I could actually become a decent guitar player watching you. Oh wait, I guess I have to practice as well. There's always a catch.
It sounds like you’re moving forward, but you definitely need to practice some more😂 But practice can be fun! Good to hear from you. Talk to you soon.👍
Another great video Rusty! When I learned triads and their associated caged cord shapes and scales, it really opened the fretboard up for me.
Hey Charles, this is just a condensed version of the CAGED system. Sounds like you have a very good foundation! I will need to start putting together some more advanced lessons for you! Always good to hear your feedback. Thanks Charles.👍
Great examples to explain today's lesson, Rusty - have a good evening!
Thank you Karen! You have a good evening also ❤️
Thank you, Rusty!🤗
You’re very welcome! Thanks for checking in👍
Another GREAT one this morning Rusty. You hit on the nail every time. For me, you are one of the most methodical step by step inspiring guitar teacher on UA-cam. I really appreciate everything. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much! I appreciate this positive feedback! Thanks for taking the time to watch my lessons👌
Very nice! Thank You! 👍🏻
Cool! You’re very welcome! Enjoy your week man👍
Really great lesson regarding triads. I know many triad shapes but I can't use chord embellishments using those. This lesson helped me very much. Please keep making these videos regarding open chords and triad embellishments.👍
Cool! Glad you got something from the video! Thanks for checking it out👍
Thanks Rusty!
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching👍
Thanks Rusty. I will have to change up into Top Gear on my GTRS and bicycle.
Thanks a lot for watching 👍
Hi Rusty, I’m a late starter to guitar. In the last 2 years I have learned to play open chords and some barre chords, reasonably well. Advanced Rythm guitar beginner level, maybe early intermediate..
Since focussing more on Lead guitar, (RocknRoll/Blues), I can now move through the pentatonic major/minor positions, understand how CAGED system relates to the guitar neck, can find caged triads and notes over the fretboard, have developed a reasonable understanding of scales and music theory, and yet still struggle to make or play riffs that sound musical.
I have been struggling to make any real inroads, and getting a little frustrated at my lack of progress.
Around the 4 minute mark of watching your video on triads, I had a Ah Ha moment, grabbed my guitar and started playing D shaped triad riffs along the neck- brilliant. They sounded musical. So I thought why not use an A shape triad and yes, it worked too. Then E shaped triad, more success. I could see where these triad shapes fitted in CAGED but began to see the related pentatonic patterns associated with them at the same time. I started adding in other notes and varying their order. Wonder of wonders…. It’s sounding musical to my ears!
Yes I will need to practice this daily to get ‘fluency’, but I feel I have made some real progress after being stuck for so long.
I have subscribed to your channel now as there is much more to learn here. The slow play throughs for each riff are also a great help.
Sorry about the lengthy post, but your lesson really got me going!
Thank you
That’s exciting! Looking at how your favorite players use these concepts is a great help. You are definitely working on the right techniques. Have a rockin weekend 😎
I just recently discovered you Rusty, and you have opened my eyes and ears to better my self on the guitar. Thanks.
Right on George! It’s exciting to add new techniques to our playing! Let’s keep working at it together! Talk to you soon. Thanks.👍
Thanks for the lesson. You have a big heart !!! Respect for you !!!
Thank you Viktor! I appreciate your support and this kind comment 👍
I haven’t thought of that, but it makes total sense. Thanks for another great lesson! ❤
Thank you for the visit, Michelle! I hope you have a great rest of your week❤️
Those triads are awesome to play...
Thanks a lot Bert! Thanks for checking in buddy😎
@@rustysguitar1 my pleasure!
Nice one Rusty. I'm just learning how important triads are, they're like a bridge between chords and scales , amongst other uses. It's helping me connect the dots, long way yet, but I can feel myself connecting the fretboard now.
Well said! Triads definitely help you navigate the fretboard. Thanks for checking out the lesson! Talk to you soon.👍
Every video is gold thx rusty
Right on! I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks and have a great rest of your week👍
Enjoyable lesson on an awesome topic. Thanks for your time and effort putting these videos together, they’re very helpful.
I also noticed the “Book” on the small table.
Be blessed!
Good to hear from you, Michael! I’m always happy to help! I’m glad you noticed the Bible! I read in my studio every morning! Thanks, Michael and have a blessed rest of your week🙏
Great concepts, Rusty........and solid concepts we should all be using in our solo improvisations!! Half the battle is learning all these triad forms..........the other is discovering the creative mind to formulate all these into classic song ideas! That second part will take a bit more doing............ Jim C.
Hey Jim, always good to hear from you! The caged system is a good way to visualize these shapes, but I like to use just the three note triad shape. Locating those within the scales that we already know. Our guitar heroes definitely made music using these chord shapes. And it’s fun to look at how they did it. It’s a great learning tool! Hope you have a great rest of your week, Jim. Thanks.👍
Another superb video presentation Rusty 👍👍🎸🎸
I appreciate that Tony! Thanks👍
Absolutely awesome .Thank you Rusty for sharing your video ❤❤
Thank you, Julio! I appreciate you watch in! Talk to you soon👍
Thx Rusty!!! Triads ,partial or shell cards are great. I'm always trying to find and use them. Still working on them for sure. Keep up the great work 🎸
I use small pieces of chords all the time! They are so useful! It helps us navigate the fretboard. Talk to you soon, Paul thanks.👍
Great lesson Rusty!! Really good stuff brother 👍🔥
Thanks Clay! Good to hear from you! Talk to you soon 👍
Great Video ! . Thanks/Gracias. Have Nice Weekend.
I’m glad you like the video! You have a nice weekend also. Thanks.👍
Fantastic Rusty , WooHoo !!!
Yeah man! Thanks, Daniel👍
very cool Rusty .I have gotten in real deep with the unforgiven . I kept plugging away at it saying what is that till I figured it out.
Hey Tony, when you work at some thing like that, it really stays with you! I appreciate you checking out the video and enjoy your weekend😎
Just found your channel the other day and I’m glad I did! Love your style of teaching! Thanks 🍻
I’m glad you found my channel! We can get better at this stuff together! Have a rockin week ahead😎
Thanks Rusty, this helps a lot as I am a TRIADS, CAGED and POWER CHORDS junkie. You always make it easy for us🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☺️
You’re welcome Ray! Those three things can take you a long way in your guitar playing journey for sure! Thanks so much for watching my videos and have a great weekend Ray👍

Cool lesson. Thank you.
Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for watching😎
Love it!
Thanks, Rusty!
Nice! Thanks for checking out the video! Enjoy your Sunday Jeff 🙏
Spot on, yet again Rusty!
You take some of the mystery out and simply show how the pro’s do it!
Extremely helpful!! Cheers from London England!👍
Thanks a lot HT! I’m glad the lesson was helpful! Greetings always from Chicago, my friend👍
Rusty, would you please do something on Clapton? You're such a great teacher - knowledgeable, humble and encouraging.
I love me some Clapton guitar! So I will definitely do that in the future. There are so many good players we can learn from! Have a great week.😎
Very important lesson Rusty great things to take from this thanks Paul from Ireland
Thanks for checking in Paul! It’s always good to hear from you! Greetings from Chicago, my friend. Catch you later.😎
Great stuff Rusty appreciate very much really changed the way I'm using chord progressions trying to incorporate more Triads in my playing this was a great way to do that
Sounds great James! This is one skill that can really put you in the advanced category. Thanks for checking out the lesson.👍
Great timing, Rusty. Last night I was practicing the lesson where you demonstrated the E triad and I had worked my way up to A, and I was wondering…what now? Now I know…play some riffs! Thanks!
Yes, it’s always good to see the triad ideas in context! Sounds like you’re moving forward in your guitar playing! I’m always happy to help! Talk to you soon👍
Good stuff, Rusty!
i guess when i see a video title that tells me that i can improve my guitar skills immediately, and it turns out that i already know that stuff (and use it regularly), it must mean that I'm farther along than i thought!
Yeah, i guess so. I am learning pretty fast, and getting my skills down.
But I'm ALWAYS ready to learn something new!
Keep it up!
Hey Jeff, if you are already using triad shapes in your playing, you are definitely in some advanced territory. But there’s so much room to expand these ideas. Thanks so much for watching my videos! Have a great week.👍
Brilliant Rusty. Thankyou 😊
Thanks a lot, Alan! And you’re very welcome. Talk to you soon.👍
Another great one Rusty! Light bulb going off here.
Thanks Stew! I’m so glad you got something from the Lesson! That’s exciting! Talk to you soon buddy.👍
Yeah, what an awesome lesson Rusty! Open our eyes to learn how to makes riffs with triads, thanks so much buddy!
Thanks Rafa! I appreciate you checking out the lesson! Always good to hear from you👍
Hi rusty another priceless lesson that's opened a whole new journey on the fretboard I've got a lot of catching up to do sir as I've been away these last few weeks so it'll be head down thank you again sir ❤

This is a really eye-opening mind-blowing technics! Thanks so much for your excellent lesson, Rusty!❤🔥👏
Thanks for watching Colourful Girl! I appreciate the kind comment❤️
Genial!
Many thanks👍
0:28 I've learned more from Rusty guitar than any other single video personality, tape, book or person, in the last 40 years.
Thanks so much, Harold! Your comment means a lot to me! I’m so glad you’re getting something from the lessons! Hope you have a great week. Thanks again, Harold.👍
Great lesson as always! Only made it to the explanation of Jessica before I had to comment. I know i repeat myself - you explain the concepts in a way that I, understand and can immediately start to use even though I am a beginning level player. Thank you again for sharing your experience knowledge and passion for those of us trying to make music! BEST AND PEACE
Thank you, Chuck! I’m always happy to help! Even if some of the stuff is over your head, it sounds like you are still taking ideas from the lessons. And then looking ahead to things that you need to work on. Sounds like you’re moving forward! I love playing and teaching guitar! I’m glad you are along for the ride Chuck! Talk to you soon buddy😎
Nice, Rusty! This is just what I'm currently practicing. Getting used to all kinds of triad shapes. Especially the ones on the DGB strings and playing songs only with these triads, exchanging them every few repetitions to get fluent in using them in general. This is perfect discussion material for Thursday. I'm looking forward to it! :)
Cheers,
Martin
Hey Martin, are use these chord shapes in my playing all the time. It really helps navigate the fretboard. And I would love to talk about it some more on Thursday! Looking forward to it! Talk to you soon.👍
Rusty ! this is one of my favorites! Gonna try these later and crank up the old strat!! Do you have any tips on how to speed up right hand movement? Left hand (fretboard) is coming along -I’d like to speed up the other hand without sounding sloppy. U rock!! Keep’em coming!
Hey Michael, thanks for checking out the video. And yes, crank up that old Stratocaster! The best way to speed up your hand. Movement is using a metronome. That way you know your progress and he will keep it locked into good timing. Thanks again let’s talk soon.😎
Hey Rusty who is that guy playing your guitar! Awesome video! And playing some really good tunes! Thank you Rusty!
It’s my buddy John Foggerty! 😂 Thanks a lot for checking out the video Martin. Have a great weekend.👍
@@rustysguitar1 I recognized him Rusty, very cool picture! I really enjoyed your video! Please keep them coming! Truly awesome! Thanks Rusty!
@@martinmcgimpsey9750 Thanks Martin 😎
Hi Rusty. Have you decided on doing private online classes? Really like to learn from you.
Hey Sean, honestly, it looks like I’m going to stay with just the UA-cam lessons. I really appreciate all your support! It means a lot! Have a great rest of your weekend Sean 😎
This one was very cool man! I've been playing (on and then way off again; stagnated and rusty, Rusty🤣) but this one makes me wanna play. I knew the songs all too well but I never thought Jessica for example could be so easy! Given there's a lot more to it than that but, it's a good jumping off point. Once I can get the portion that you shared, there's a good possibility I can figure out the rest...I think.
I knew the CCR and AC/DC as well but same thing. Never bothered or something. I'm in a nursing home for emphasema and I had a surgery on my back but, I bought a guitar and I've played from bed (a little tougher than I thought but, I can still do it (I'll spare you the details and no pity please ok ..I'm alright .
I don't have a roadie to set me up right now (nursing assistant) but maybe tomorrow I'll play after a long hiatus...I made sure when they were cleaning yesterday they left my guitar within reach ..tried to put it in the closet)
You seem to teach in way that's easy to understand and it's your choice of songs that I love... classic rock and roll; right up my alley man.
Thanks Rusty, I'm glad to have subscribed to your channel man ✌️❤️🙏
Hey Stan, I will be praying for your health situation🙏 But thanks a lot for subscribing to my channel! A lot of these tunes are the soundtrack of our youth! So it’s fun, figuring out what makes them tick! I hope you have a great rest of your week! Talk to you soon Stan!👍
@@rustysguitar1 Hey thanks Rusty, I'll be praying for you as well 🙏. Continued good health or anything you're dealing with or may deal with (let's pray there's none of the latter) in the future. And Yes! These are the soundtracks of our lives.
I remember my first cassette version of Back in Black when I was just a kid with a boombox and a knock off Walkman. Straight through until now. So many albums; all those tunes!! Mixtapes and tunes taped from the radio! I recall so vividly hearing Dream On in the back of a teenagers car and staying up until I'd taped a perfect copy! Vinyl 🤣! The shows! I saw Rush at 11 and so many more in my teens but yup! I've always been most passionate about music and guitar and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your lessons. You keep it simple enough and still so much information; easily retained information...I'll be watching and learning what I need and if I happen to know it already, I've always got time enough. Seeing your passion for the instrument creates a passion in me.
I wonder why I've never heard of ya' but what's important is I have now right? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thanks for the prayers Rusty. Means a lot man✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏
@@stanphillips7277 Yeah man! Sounds like you’re excited about the guitar again! I’m glad you like the lessons Stan! We will never forget our guitar hero’s. Catch you later Stan 👌
@@rustysguitar1 I'm always vicariously excited but your lessons resonate with me more than most. You seem excited too . No , we won't forget out guitar heroes. Their why we play. Chat with ya soon Rusty. ✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏
@@stanphillips7277 Later Stan👍
What is that second song you’re playing with the D and A triads, I know it but can’t place it, thanks for posting
Up around the bend. CCR. Classic guitar riff! Thanks a lot for checking out the video Randall.👍
Thanks I thought it was CCR but couldn’t think of the tune
Makes good sense about the AC DC song being played down there in that inversion, never thought about that
@@randalltindall7340 👍
@@randalltindall7340 This is a great way to visualize the fretboard! Thanks a lot for watching my lessons 👍
Fabulous lesson, Rusty, thank you! A great way to escape from the pentatonic "box." Not that there's anything wrong at all with pentatonic riffs - in fact when they are combined and interspersed with these triad chord shapes, it makes solos and fills sound really fresh..On John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers' version of the song, "All Your Love," Eric Clapton plays pretty much an entire solo using arpeggiated minor triads and chord shapes. It's epic. See: ua-cam.com/video/rUUEtCBhn_Q/v-deo.html (at the one minute 20 second mark). But giving credit where credit is due, it was Otis Rush who originally came up with this solo on his original recording of the tune, which he wrote and recorded in 1958. See ua-cam.com/video/PohKCrwxrgA/v-deo.html (at the one minute 10 second mark). Clapton realized how great Rush's solo was and reproduced it on the Bluesbreakers' version. But like with Jessica, it just shows how triads can be milked to tremendous advantage.
Well said my friend, I have heard this Clapton recording before! A great example of simple is so good! The simple ideas really keep you connected to the chords that you are playing over. Thanks so much for checking out my video! Catch you later.😎
So good, another lesson to make me happy ! Thx a lot Rusty, Richard from France 😉
Greetings from Chicago! I’m happy to help Richard! Have a great week👍
