I can't believe I just came across this lesson! It's been out there for four years, and today I see this. Very Interesting concept. Great video! Thanks, Doug Piper.
For a poor guy, I really appreciate your free stuff. You and a couple other UA-cam pros are giving me pure pleasure every day. Im inspired by your passion to share.... Thank you
Thanks David! This is just the video I've been looking for. I understood most of it, but not all of it (perfect for me). Most of the triad videos I've seen are too elementary for me, some are too far above my level, and this one is just right (my apologies to the three bears). I learned important new concepts and will watch it a few times for better understanding. You always keep things interesting, and in this case, challenging. And I always enjoy your soloing, creative and inspiring. Thanks very much.
David i have been following your videos for a long time. Helped me alot. This videos are for the intermediate player, i guess you should put that on the description, for a newbie its very easy to get lost. Even i, playing for 12 years face myself in this lesson studying again the caged system, the major and minor scale their relation and why triads are so important. This has been a major lesson, the only thing i would loved to see the most is the appliance of these triads in the context of soloing and building progressions, not only in the arpeggios like you showed. Congrats on your videos man. And keep them coming :)
I humbly give thanks and now I know why I picked you first to be my guitar teacher when I moved from predominantly Bass, and wanted to know more guitar theory. Absolutely without a doubt a Gem of a lesson. Thank you Walli the Man The Dominant 7th arpegio blew my mind
Bloody brilliant! Of course, here's another lesson that is sure to side-track me from the Guitar Infusion Course, lol! Yet, I'm confident all these gems of information will combine and compliment each other to help me be a better player. Thanks, David!
Before seeing ur videos I assumed myself intermediate guitar player.but ur videos bring back me to nursery of guitar level.after watching ur videos I understand the depth of learning .but still I am working on it.hope one day I will able to understand and perform it well.thanks.
You have the most beautiful and interesting intro playing. I'm not a good student (takes me ages to learn structure), and often I come back just for the intros, because there are so many delicious (and mostly new) sounds in those intros it helps me break out of my usual playing.
This lesson is so helpful for me and I have learned so much for just 1 topic, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge with others musicians out there including myself. You are my teacher from now on and I know whoever is learned from you will appreciate the same way I do,thanks again.
Thank you. This lesson makes improving more melodic. I have Major and Minor Penatonics down, but it doesn’t sound melodic when I solo over tracks. This method opens new doors. I never had a good arpeggio technique. This is inspirational.
The longer I play the more I realize the telecaster is the sound of the guitar in my head...it may be a plank but it just works right in almost any musical application...
Had the major scale under my belt for a while. And your videos among other youtubers, have been super helpful. Sure I cant play every song but I can harmonize to almost anything knowing how to find the key to songs, or making better riffs. Wich to me is way more valuable. You're doing a great job and I cant thank you enough. Id like to see more about this topic and chord theory. And still trying to understand the cage system. As a 3 nps player i can shred but I want more out of my playing.
I knew a lot about triads, shapes and else. But it was useless for me, cause i had no idea how to make a music with it. And thats when i watched your video and understood many things. Thanks
Dave this is inspiring to my creative spirit mind connection, i had taken music theory in high school and had good grades I had tsken lessons in the late 90's was improving but I still struggled connecting the dots I believe your teaching methods can bring into the place the knowledge O have desired to be at. I got to ger my computer up and running.
Please clarify. In the E lydian (2nd example) mode, the augmented fourth Bb is the most characteristic note but its not there. E G# B D#. How is it Lydian? . Same with dirían...
It is really good that you reiterate that the music comes from within. I think this has been almost completely forgotten in mainstream music. Excellent stuff as usual David. Keep it up!
Hey David, if I see the tabs I can understand how to use the arpeggios... But at 16:40 you say that you use a minor shape but then it becomes Maj7 arpeggio. And at 17:43 you say that its a major shape but min7. Shouldn't a minor shape give a minor arpeggio and vice versa?
This is a cool concept but I'm a bit confused, why do you have to skip a scale degree when using this idea? Couldn't you start on any scale degree and play the right mode?
Awesome lesson I always do appreciate it cause it help me with my playing alot.. but correction is that the 3 note in the scale is a major note not the 4
I'm confused, at the 5:47 mark you say the major triad is made from the first, FOURTH and fifth degrees. I thought it was the 1,3,5 or did I miss something?
Donald Butcher The triads which have their root notes based on the first, fourth and fifth are all major chords. Eg: in G major the G, C, D chords are all major
Thank you so much for posting these lessons man this has helped so much. This lesson got me thinking what about starting on the 5th or 7th instead of the 3rd to build the arpeggio? Like if we're in C Major using C as the root and play a G major arpeggio it's implies a Cmaj7add9. Another thought was using modal interchange to create interesting color with the idea from the lesson, for example again in C major using C as the root but thinking of it as C dorian for the arpeggio. So i would play like a C major then extend or "enrich" that with an Eb major arpeggio, gives a neat sound.
Great lesson.love your playing it’s so smooth and effortless.to watch anyway.i would love to be able to fly through them arpeggios right into chords like that.
little help please i am confused...17.40 , playing the 4th degree (major shape) triad "sweep" but yet it is a Minor 7 arpeggio...? isn't the 4th degree a major? thanks
Hi David, not sure of the actually point of the lesson? I already new the major -minor sweep arp-shapes and the theory behind the major scale. first time I really just don't get this one?
Peter Davies he’s just explaining a simpler way to play extended arps (like 7’s, 9’s, 11’s & 13’s). Play a minor arpeggio from the 3rd of any major chord & it’s like you’re playing a major 7th arpeggio. Conversely if you play a major arpeggio from the b3rd of any minor chord it’s like you are playing a minor 7th arpeggio. That’s the essence of what he’s showing here.
Hi David - great videos as always. Please would you clear up what you meant with E Lydian being the 4th degree. Isn't an E the fourth of the key of B? I think Lydian is: E F# G# A# B C# D# and E. So isn't the fourth here A#? Once I understand that all the rest should book I hope. It's probably me being thick so please humour me. Cheers.
Call me a big dumb animal but that's like shredding with a bow-tie while flying my spaceship past the Kalyan galaxy. Great skills man. Nice guitar too! I will never be able to play one fraction of that, but keep teaching us, man. ;)
@@Wallimann Thanks for your videos!.You have a unique way of looking at things that has challenged and inspired me. My playing had become too mechanical, but there may be hope for me yet!
I'm lost like a stray dog...So...If you start your triad from the 3rd instead of the first, you still have to shape the triad in a minor structure with the 3rd of that second triad flattened I gather?...
So if the chord is C major (ceg) , it’s 3rd would be E. So if you play an E minor arpeggio (egb ) over that chord it’s like you’re playing a Cmaj7 arpeggio (cegb). Conversely, if your chord is Am (ace) and you play a C major arpeggio (ceg) over it , it’s like you’re playing an Am7 arpeggio (aceg).
cool. Your channel is also fantastic! I just discovered it in the last couple weeks. You are a great instructor and I can tell you put some real effort into your content. I just noticed your website guitarplayback.com. Lots of lessons and jamtracks!!! I'll probably start with a set of jam tracks tonite. maybe some ballads. @@Wallimann
Very clever and helpful aid to mental bookkeeping of 7th arppegios: think of them as stacked triads a third (minor/major as appropriate) apart. Thanks for this tip, David!
Gotta watch this over and over again...

See triads in action marty friedman and harmonic minor thats melodic marty
Sorry, this lesson was way too confusing. Not a good lesson at all

Pour la première fois de ma vie je rêve de m'acheter une Tele (caster). Quel son ! Je surlike !
Thanks David, I'll work on this all weekend.
Thank you. This lesson makes improving more melodic. I have Major and Minor Penatonics down, but it doesn’t sound melodic when I solo over tracks. This method opens new doors. I never had a good arpeggio technique. This is inspirational.
I discovered this just a week or so ago and it's made a huge difference in my confidence and enthusiasm

love the beard! looks great man. Also, thanks for the fundamentals, they're everything.
That particular T-Bucket sounds Friggin' Phenomenal....
12:09 Is where it becomes interesting

Wow this was super helpful - just the right amount of theory and well explained!
Please clarify. In the E lydian (2nd example) mode, the augmented fourth Bb is the most characteristic note but its not there. E G# B D#. How is it Lydian? . Same with dirían...
This is a really great way to conceptualize arpeggio shapes. Made me think of things a little differently. :D
This is really smart. I think my playing still sucks but I`am proud that at least I do understand what you are talking about.
Thank you man! I am pretty sure your playing doesn't suck! :)
David is the Mr.Rogers of guitar teachers. That's a compliment.
Haha! Thank you neighbor! :D
It is really good that you reiterate that the music comes from within. I think this has been almost completely forgotten in mainstream music. Excellent stuff as usual David. Keep it up!
Music comes from within ??? Most people are just copying other guitarists so how does that apply ?
Eye opening, ties in with allot of other stuff. Your a great teacher man.
Is that an inversion triad when starting on the next note after the root.
Hey David, if I see the tabs I can understand how to use the arpeggios... But at 16:40 you say that you use a minor shape but then it becomes Maj7 arpeggio. And at 17:43 you say that its a major shape but min7. Shouldn't a minor shape give a minor arpeggio and vice versa?
It has to do with the starting note! Although the shape is a minor triad, that shape is measured to the root which makes it Major! :)
@@Wallimann got it !
Was not expecting that beauty of a tele there bro' NICE !
This is a cool concept but I'm a bit confused, why do you have to skip a scale degree when using this idea? Couldn't you start on any scale degree and play the right mode?
Love that Tele! Would love to hear about it
YEAH . 00:05:00 !!!! I learned this thaut by the great Les Wise himself!!! A big Hug from Austria around the world.
Awesome lesson I always do appreciate it cause it help me with my playing alot.. but correction is that the 3 note in the scale is a major note not the 4
Really like how you add a little psychology to your theory in music lessons. It really drives the lesson into the brain..
Hi, David! What video are you refering to at 17:57? Thanks!!
I'm confused, at the 5:47 mark you say the major triad is made from the first, FOURTH and fifth degrees. I thought it was the 1,3,5 or did I miss something?

Dave I wish you would use some graphics, or at least tell us which notes you are playing.
I should have here, you’re right. Sorry!
@@Wallimann Thanks Dave. I like your lessons, but times they are hard to follow.
Great lesson.love your playing it’s so smooth and effortless.to watch anyway.i would love to be able to fly through them arpeggios right into chords like that.
gent stuff ! Had to watch a couple time to get it but well worth it !
Essential ! So fond of your teaching way ! Thank you David.
Thank you!!
I like your intro David.
Holy shit, this DID change everything!!!!
hi david, consider adding a zoom view to your fingers when you want to show position or hand movements
it's kinda hard to see these things from far
He usually puts up neck diagrams for things like this. That would have made this video much easier to follow.
Bro buy guitar grimoire the back pages tell the simple story ezpz 13531315513 and on
Is that the fender paisley fsr?
What brand guitar is that? Love it!
Thank you! That’s of Vola Guitar. They are awesome!
Great lesson man. Your guitar is beautiful. That s not a stock Telecaster finish. I've never seen anything as beautiful as that. I want one.
That's a Harley Benton TE 70 black Paisley. He has a review on his channel , cheers.
@@mariosmusicvault, thanks for the info Brother. I appreciate it.
Love and peace to you,
Steve
you're waaay better than my current guitar teacher) great lesson, thank you
little help please i am confused...17.40 , playing the 4th degree (major shape) triad "sweep" but yet it is a Minor 7 arpeggio...? isn't the 4th degree a major? thanks
Yeah but his "trick" was showing how to create and play a minor arpeggio on a major chord and vice versa
This is the gold lesson! Thank you😍
Good refresher lesson. Thanks David!
Will it bring back Grampa?
Man oh man you made me lol. Too funny
pageluvva - Awesome! Glad someone else has a sense of humour. :)
I'm so lost I just asked Grampa for directions...
Reminds me a little bit of Eric Johnson. Sounds great ! Great lesson.
How do you make your guitar sound fuzzy?
David, I wonder what kind of music do you create - any samples?
Thanks for asking! Mostly Instrumental prog rock. Here is my music page with samples: www.wallimann.shop
where from you got that sound ?
Hi David, not sure of the actually point of the lesson? I already new the major -minor sweep arp-shapes and the theory behind the major scale. first time I really just don't get this one?

Woooo!! That tele is a beaut!!!
what is that beautiful EQ in your Logic session?
Did we go from being in the key of C at 16:10 with E lydian 4th degree?? to key of B?
My brain hurts but I like it.

Very useful David.
Great lesson thanks
Great teacher
I don’t get it. So if you are in D Dorian the D isn’t 1 it’s the 2?
Call me a big dumb animal but that's like shredding with a bow-tie while flying my spaceship past the Kalyan galaxy. Great skills man. Nice guitar too! I will never be able to play one fraction of that, but keep teaching us, man. ;)
Sounds like some Eric Johnson style sounds in that opening piece.
Very exceptional lesson 😊
fantastic man tnks so much very very cool,! great lesson,congrats from Brasil
thanks man for the useful tips:)
HI David! Thank you so much for the lesson!!! You are so awesome!
Thank you very much David!
Excellent lesson!
When talking sequences, you refer to the "minor third". I've heard others refer to it as the flat third. Are they the same?
Same thing, yep!
@@Wallimann Thanks for your videos!.You have a unique way of looking at things that has challenged and inspired me. My playing had become too mechanical, but there may be hope for me yet!
Dude in the beginning around 1:00 THAT TONE!!! I love the lesson but just GIVE ME THAT T O N E !!!
This is a neat trick. Thx🙂
Thanks 🍀
Very well explained. Thank you.
I'm lost like a stray dog...So...If you start your triad from the 3rd instead of the first, you still have to shape the triad in a minor structure with the 3rd of that second triad flattened I gather?...
An e minor over a C acts like a CM7
So if the chord is C major (ceg) , it’s 3rd would be E. So if you play an E minor arpeggio (egb ) over that chord it’s like you’re playing a Cmaj7 arpeggio (cegb). Conversely, if your chord is Am (ace) and you play a C major arpeggio (ceg) over it , it’s like you’re playing an Am7 arpeggio (aceg).

nice video i learnt something new
Your videos are so helpful, i have learnt so much from them in an easy to understand way. thankyou.
Amazing!
"....this piece of wood that is pretty awesome..." XD
Indeed!!
as always, informative.
thank you for this David
Great video!
Such great guitar tone!
He's an awesome teacher but like I said it's not for beginners. Thanks for your input
It's not for complete beginners, but it is rudimentary "Music Theory".This is about 1/2 way through the basics of "Building Chord' skills.
I tried to get the free lessons.I am getting a message saying this sight does not Provide a secure connection. Thanks for all you do David.
That's weird!
