      You should check a different rating site. If you'll look at my personal ratings for instance, he's in the top spot, so therefore, he's perfectly rated.

      Totally agree. I learned from this video more than I’ve learned by myself in many years. Thank you friend, all the way from Mexico. ❤

    The fretboard and my ear really opened up when I placed greater emphasis on triads. If you listen to really melodic players, they use chord tones to launch into melodic themes. Gilmour, Knopfler, and even most experienced jazz improvisers rely heavily on chord tones to create melody.

    Adrian, many times over, I think, "Damn, that sounds great." Then you teach it to us and the theory behind it. Can't thank you enough.

  • @bluzman2288
    @bluzman2288 2 роки тому +10

    Christ Adrian, you've got me interested in theory. To be honest I've always avoided it, but you've switched a light on, and after many years, and i mean MANY, i'm going to look into it. Great video, calmly and expertly explained.

    The chords of Led Zeps "Thank You" are nice to improv over 🤙🏼.I find turning a triad into a 9th or an 11th makes triads sounds amazing!

    Another great lesson. It never ceases to amaze me how you can create something so melodic and interesting that's really pretty simple to play (although I'll be the first to admit I couldn't have come up with this). So thank you for creating beautiful music that is also entirely achievable for those of us who are not nearly as gifted as you. And I always watch your videos to the end and love the theory portion of the lesson (and am a very happy patreon member - WELL WORTH IT).

    I’ve been playing and singing for fun for around 30 years. My whole time playing I’ve mostly just played open chords for country songs. I use some triads and some bar chords but mostly just open chords. I know music theory fairly well. I’ve always wanted to do more on the guitar than what I do but never could take it to the next level. About two weeks ago I started practicing my triads. I’ve been teaching myself all the triads on the neck, practicing them over and over, and applying music theory to them. It was like a light bulb went off. I’m starting to see the different shapes on the neck and how they tie into scales. I’ve taught myself more in the last two weeks than I have in the last 10 years or so. I wish that I would have learned more about triads whenever I first started playing. It’s made guitar fun again.
