I especially liked explaining clearly that there are triads within every three-note step down the strings from a given CAGED shape (with 1 or two exceptions). Other lessons I have seen teach triads as independent shapes on a given set of three strings without clearly showing how it is just a piece of the shape we already know. This made it so much easier to understand what note each triad chord is based on already knowing the shape it is in without having to memorize every string at every fret. (Though I am working on it.) Really simple and valuable lesson.
I love the long format. Every other guitar channel I'm always thinking- play another example, explain more... On your channel I feel full of information at the end.
Man, your videos are phenomenal. I actually downloaded the Caged one and will do the same with this when finish watching it. If I ever lose these two videos I´d kill myself. This is so well explained and so much easier to grasp then all the other stuff out there. A lot of playing guitar has to do with understanding how the fretboard works... they are mini puzzles that attach to each other in a very logical way, it just take time to build a little bit of coordination and off you go. I would like to suggest always giving us something super easy to play with the content previously explained, just like you did on the Caged video (C,G,D chords) - I felt like Jimmy Hendrix all of a sudden. Just awesome.
Hi Sir, why the C Major chord play in the open position consist of the note C, E, C instead of C, E, G which is the triad for C chord? I still cannot understand from some explanation from Google. Hope that you can help me! Blessings!!
It's hard for me to think that guitarists are thinking about note names and reasoning through chord construction and the fingering while playing. Certainly not for improvising. For me playing needs to be very fluid and essentially muscle memory, and it simply has to be that way if I need to sing as well. You may be thinking about this while writing or arranging, but my brain is never going to be able to reason through this in real time while performing. Mortals like me will need to remember shapes.
@@willmetz_music It has to be fun, too. I need a video about what order to put things in. I learned some guitar early, but have left it alone now for a good while, so I can start over without the bad habits. I have 4 more work days as an IT guy. Some guys go golfing, some buy boats when they retire. For me it's going to be guitar. So what should it be? Caged, scales, triads, ear training? Something else?
@@reason2463 it’s very fun! I’m happy to give you some tips. You can email me at metzguillaume@gmail.com! Or find me on Facebook or instagram. What is your name?
i have watched 2 videos by will and these and some of the best and i have looked at.i have looked at others for years this is good stuff thanks
Well stated --trim the fat off those gigantic barre chords---simplify to 3 notes ! Nice lesson!
Thank you. You have helped me expand my vision of the fretboard.

Good evening maes,please send me the books please.

C major is indeed C E G, even in the open position:)
The open G string acts as the G note in the triad

Good guitarists use an optimal combination of everything. Notes, patterns, licks, their ear. All of the above with no exception

Rather focus on major & minor triads ---those nasty augmented & diminished chords --put guitarist beginners off ---
