    A lot of effort went into making this lesson. It was a good reminder for me to DO THIS MORE OFTEN. If one will only do it, the shapes will begin to fall under your fingers.

    Such a great exercise! Been spending quite a bit of time building triads into my practice and recently bought some blank dices and marked up a 12-sided one with every key, and a normal 6-sided one with 3 sides each marked Major/Minor. Up to now, I just threw both dices (is that the plural??) and practiced whatever key came up (in major or minor as per the second dice) and then got on with something else. Will now get another dice from the set and mark it 3 sides each with clockwise/ anti-clockwise and then do the full circle of 5ths too (I know I should really have been doing this as part of the practice regime but it’s only when I see it being done by someone else that I can see just how important it is to drill it in). Thanks for another great vid, Adrian!!

    Love your teaching. Excellent audio and video quality as well. Thank you for teaching me so many new riffs and giving me new ideas and ways to explore and enjoy the guitar. When my playing starts to feel stale I always seem to find something inspiring in your videos to keep me going. I appreciate it more than I can say.

    💡 💡 💡 Your Triad Vids are really helping me develop the map of the fretboard. I use diagrams alot but what makes sense on paper, is different when looking at the neck and everything looks the same. Your way of making your exercises (( Fun )) and musical makes learning them meaningful. TYVM

    Yes it's a dry exercise but it's dry like the cement that goes into the foundations of something solid.
    I'm as guilty as anyone of neglecting the basics week in week week out. Just made a promise to myself to do this until I can play all 12 keys without error.
    Thank you Adrian for another stimulating video.

    You are the best teacher on UA-cam. Can you PLEASE do a lesson on The Queen is Dead. There are no decent tabs anywhere. It is a fundamentally quite simple song but full of nuances that I'm really struggling to work out. I know you try and and limit your Marr output but it would be fantastic if you could cover this one. I'm sure you can play it with your eyes closed.

    If Adrian disappears from UA-cam, it may be because he talked too much about the Triads. Be safe out there.
    More seriously... I could do this on the piano at the drop of a hat as I'm classically trained from early childhood - but I never had the willpower to learn it on guitar and I've been playing 35+ years since my teens. Probably never will. But the residual music theory memory means I can just learn the ones I want really quickly if and when needed.
    If the guitar is your only instrument, this is definitely going to be useful for you.

    • @JeighNeither
      @JeighNeither Рік тому +4

      Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I'm watching this in my studio at a music building in Brooklyn. About 30 seconds after I left above comment, a band down the hall started screwing around, & I swear to whatever holy thing you hold dear, the keyboard player starts playing the exact same "exercise" in the exact same key; it was an arpeggiator doing the heavy lifting, but it was a truly insane coincidence.

    Actually for the key of C you could start with the first inversion, open E--third fret on the fifth string--fifth fret on the fourth (a C power chord shape but hitting the open E).

    Really dig how it was said that u can "memorize" this,that good. Me good at that. But let's try to focus on what root note played and each 3rd and fifth, and where they are in relation to what you are playing.think this dude proves the people of England (mother country to u.s. ,of course) are smarter than united states people who are getting more stupid all the time. This is true,baby

    Thanks! What about minor triads?

    • @DaveBroTube
      @DaveBroTube Рік тому +1

      They're easy enough to develop on your own, using the major triads as your guide. Once you know all your major triads, you also know which note is the third, so you simply lower that note by a half-step/semitone.

  • @MrFrampo56
    @MrFrampo56 Рік тому

    Great stuff. But only major triads ? What about minor . ? Not yet though. I’m only just starting these. It’s just that you didn’t mention them.

    • @meadish
      @meadish Рік тому

      A better exercise than getting it from a teacher would be to sit down and figure it out yourself.
      All you need to do is to identify where the major third is inside each of these shapes, then move it back one semitone (half step/fret) - there is your minor triad.

    • @MrFrampo56
      @MrFrampo56 Рік тому +1

      Yep. Don’t forget the root and fifth though.

    • @jeffreysims3831
      @jeffreysims3831 Рік тому +3

      One example of many: If you play the inversions at various places on the neck it sounds more interesting than the more conventional chords, so a lot of players in bands will play the triad shape instead of the whole chord. Once you know this stuff you will hear it everywhere.

    • @DaveBroTube
      @DaveBroTube Рік тому +3

      Another: Knowing these shapes allows you to easily jump to good places to develop melodic ideas/solos. Since you know the triad locations, and the identity of the three notes within them (root, third, fifth), it's easy to find nearby notes within the scale to develop melodic ideas / solo lines.

    • @acpg
      @acpg  Рік тому +1

      Hi Vincent. Yes, the tab is of the exercise itself that I play at the start of the video which starts on the lowest string set. The C shape you mention is part of an explanation of how triads work on the top 3 strings. Hope that clarifies things!

    This exercise is brain damage. I'm trying to add a key a day - been on it a week , currently at Ab.. I'll be well pleased when I've mastered this because, while a total pain, I think if I want to improve, it's unavoidable.
