It took me 40 years of playing guitar to learn all this on my own before UA-cam. I learned to brake down all major and minor triads from the full bar chords. Learning came really slow and we musicians learned from each other and by watching our favorite "stars". Today with UA-cam, learning is much faster, and there are MANY ways, and methods to learn to play. But no matter how much knowledge we can stuff into our brains, it still takes hours, and years of PRACTICE to drill all this knowledge into muscle memory and create music flawlessly. I used to wonder if the great players really know what they are doing or if they just had some "natural gift" that let them play without thinking. Now I realize that they play without thinking because they do have the knowledge and it has been drilled into their brains through hours of practice. The second step is having all this knowledge and CHOOSING what to do with it. Music is endless, that's where creativity comes in. Some people learn faster than others, that's why the good players make it look so simple, but they still use all these basics taught in this lesson. I would recommend every student drill this lesson into their brains. There is a lot of information here, but if you master what is being taught here you will be able to jam with Clapton, or Hendrix. Great lesson, a bit lengthy, should be broken into a few lessons because it's a bit much to digest one time through, but tons of invaluable information! Happy playing!
This is the 'holy grail' of guitar Improv Fabian ! eg .Before watching your vid I've been grappling especialy with playing the Progression Chord Tones in a tight zone of the finger board .....your explanation is Sooo-ooo Coo-ooll. AND DOABLE!
Amazing lesson mate, this unlocked so many doors! It took me two days to get through the entire video - pausing and playing around with each little nugget of information. Lightbulbs were going off all over the place. Thank you so much for putting this lesson together, much appreciated.
I thank you so much man all these videos have helped me so much these past few weeks. Improvising music is my favorite thing to do and you have made me feel more confident in my skills on guitar.
The last thirty minutes into the video made me click the most, learn the Triads and inversions, and then arpeggiating the triads and inversions, then fill in with random notes in the scale until the next chord come around
i’m working through your lesson and you explained a way to remember the 7 shapes of the major scale . i never knew each position started on the next scale degree … That right there improved my playing .. Click
i think Triads are always better expplained using the caged system, It is similar and gives more in sight, but you explanation makes perfect sense even when using 3 note per sting scales, thanks ...to make it even similar you can use the pentatonic scales over triads, then work up to major, minor, harmonic and melodic and so on
Exactly, I’m glad you understood the point here. The reason I focused on the major scale is because the triads are built from the chords inside the major scale. The pentatonic scale does not contain all the notes that craft the chords in a key therefore you can’t always use that scale to hit every chord tone. Thanks for watching

I have been trying to play for about 4 years I am 65 years old I have seen this on UA-cam before but you explain it better,thanks I appreciate it

Excellent tutorial. Thank you 🙏🏻
Fantastic Lecture!
Genuinely an amazing video so happy I found your channel! Just applied to join your skool community excited to join!

Thanks so much for watching till the end 🙏
Amazing insights even from the previous lesson! Top marks!!
Great lesson thank you 🙏 😊
Good stuff got a lot out of it ❤😊

When you decide to start learning about modes, this is going to make them easier for you to play
Absolutely perfect brilliant thank you sir
feels illegal watching this for free
The english have a much greater appreciation for public service

For the C major scale you said 15 but I think you meant 14 (f#)
Good lesson however the colors on your diagrams reminds me of my first acid trip.
I hope you learned a lot from your trip lol
Very good lesson on music basics for guitar. Your guitar needs to be intonated.
