    Brian, I’ve had a lot “a-ha” moments watching your videos, but this was a big one. I’ve seen guys seemingly okay I-IV-V without hardly moving their left hand, but I never could crack it.
    Thanks as always! That guitar is a gem as well!

    Every single idea you explain, got some other sidebars you point... you make me think...
    Little lightbulbs all the time.
    All related in context on the practical example we are in, so it's easily understood.
    Came here for the Triads, and now I can see the basic CAGED idea, so I can try to continue by myself. Brilliant on you.
    I appreciate you offer naked raw sound over basic classic stuff. No ultra Gain and crazy solos to impress us.
    Congratulations and thank you very much 'caballero'.

    Figuring out triads on this string set (2.3.4) opened up a lot of possibilities for me. I can play in any key in a jam, and they are great for uke or a tenor guitar tuned in DGBE. Your lessons have been a great help to me.

    The chord diagrams were so helpful to picture the six chords to use and all contained in the one zip code. One area yet so much info mileage that came with it. You are a gift that keeps giving.

    I've been looking all over UA-cam for a lesson on connecting scale shapes to CAGED shapes. And I can think of no better teacher. So, Brian, if you find yourself looking for a lesson idea....
    But, yeah this one is great! I've been playing around with this but having the 4 and 5 spelled out like this is SO helpful! Thanks and God bless!

    I posted yesterday but I’m back because after playing for a few hours after watching your video last night I was overwhelmed. It finally made sense to me. I can’t believe nobody told me this before all those years I spent noodling around hoping I’d find some pattern or secret. Once I understood the triads I applied them all over the neck and now I can play anywhere in any key anytime no matter what chords are going on I know where to go. Let me tell you that knowing where to go from your lesson is the greatest thing I ever learned on guitar. Triads. Once you learn them you will get it. Watch this video 10 times if you have to once it makes sense you’re going to kick yourself in the butt and want back all those years you spent trying to figure things out.

    Thanks. This lesson broadens what I have been working on. I discovered and have been playing with 3 triad forms on the DGB strings for a while now. I find it very useful on the tenor guitar I sometimes play. Now at a jam session (acoustic blues) I can play basics in any key they call the song. It has turned out to be very easy to finger pick and to add 7th & 6th embellishments in this small string set, too. I do hope you do more lessons on this string set.

    Oh man there's so much to get out of this one! I *think* that I might be able to get the notes of various triads into my head from maybe just noodling these up and down the neck while calling out the notes from the basic form out loud..... Yea hell I'd probably get the notes from the 3rd string in my head on top of that. Damn who said there isn't any short cuts to get intimate with, what for me is Deep, theory detail applicable to tons of additional goodness. Thank you.....

    I understand a reason you chose this V (5) chord is partly to keep everything on that 9h fret position (also other cool stuff). Folks might like to know another easy 5 chord from this E is D string 9th fret, G - 8th fret, B - 7th fret. That shape has a lot of possibilities too.
