Wow Levi, thank you so much!!! What an awesome lesson, it really helps a lot! Exactly what I needed as a first step in my journey!.
😂😂👌👌🧑👌
Good stuff man...The whole getting from arp's and triads to melodies is EXACTLY what I've been looking for...Rock, and or twang, on man! Thanks...
Levi - Great job man. Love your work and playing!
This is a huge boost in my guitar playing after learning pentatonic scales. This is an incredibly helpful video thank you so much, I sound so good!!
@Memerinos how’s it going now
Holy moly this was one of the best videos on moving past the Pentatonic box. Using a simple form triad/arpeggio and into the major pentatonic was smooth and very helpful. It also explained to me why the 2nd and 6th sound so good being in the maj pent. Thanks kindly Levi you really hit it out of the park with this video.
Awesome and overall UNDERSTANDABLE lesson boss...
Thanks great playing and good audio and video quality
Great lesson building a foundation and learning the guitar neck.will help in all styles of playing.
Also developing ur ear
Great video. Funny story for you...When i moved to Nashville, TN in 2000, I asked a very well known guitar player for one tip..He said "learn triads". I've talked to him throughout the years and as a parting question, i ask him for another tip, he laughed and said "power chords"
Love the tone of that tele. Thanks for the lesson
Hey Levi, it would be swell if you wrote a book focused purely on triads, or even a series going from beginner to advanced from learning to cover the neck in triads to advanced improvisation techniques using triads. I really like your teaching style. Thanks for the videos.
Love your channel. Such great advice.
Hey Levi! I have been searching the Tube for years, but I don't believe I have ever seen this topic so superbly, clearly, patiently, understandably, professionally and inspirationally presented as you have done here! And in such a pleasing and absolutely mellow fashion! I am HOOKED! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I am looking forward to checking out all the other lessons!! I feel like you have opened up a number of new "Doors" for me today!! This really seriously resonates with me in every way! Thanks again Levi, and I wish you one of the very best years you have ever had! You just got mine off to a VERY GOOD start!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words Cliff! I’m here if you need me
You are a great teacher, thank you
I found a great way to breakout of patterns is to learn to play the melody of songs. It trains you ear to find the notes on the fretboard.
Very helpful lesson. Thanks !!
Thanks Levi. I bought your recent book on Triads...working through it at the moment.
Levi THANK YOU so much for this màster class to the core Cheers!!
Thank you very much! Your lesson really helped me to connect the dots) now I know in what direction to swim! And, btw, I like how you explain things - so close to reality, profound, and not too wordy. You are a cool teacher :D
Thank you, this just what I've been looking for to advance my playing!!
You’re welcome Russell!
brilliant Levi really helpful and well explained. Top Man
Thank you so much.. this lesson is just what i needed. Thanks again. I'll be looking for more lessons from you.
Glad to have helped Stan
I am pausing everything else I am using cause this lesson is exactly where I am at and need. I was literally explaining this to my wife this process and just found this video. Thank you so much!
Great lesson. This precisely what I need to be working on.
Thanks Levi, just started getting into this and your video is excellent. Cheers mate!
You’re very welcome
This definitely got me going...I am sounding like jazz now after watching this. Thanks so much.
absolutely great lesson
BTW you have a great presents on your videos. Your videos are high quality and the audio is very clean and well balanced. Thanks for your excellent content on You Tube.
Thanks from Buenos Aires!!
Dude you are so on point please sir keep up the good work absolutely great thanks man👍!!
This is a great lesson. Thanks Levi. Triads are the one thing that will clear up allot of the confusion and anxiety regarding the Modes. If we learn triad harmony in the given key it can reveal the patterns that are hidden..... we open up a myriad of improvisational options.
I was definitely not expecting to gain such an understanding of the modes when learning triads, but it is true.
THIS is EXACTLY what I've needed. This content is what has been lacking from other authors (who are amazing in their own right, don't get me wrong here). I've watched so many of your videos already and have found myself asking, where has this teacher been in all my years of struggling to understand these concepts. Holy cow!!
Thank you for this. Felt like this gave me insight into how Jerry Garcia approached the fret board.
I really like how Levi teaches!he never rushes anything like a lot of lick library teachers and other!!I appreciate your lessons! I'm on the "mastering the blues" series. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much Erik. I have a passion for education, it’s not just a paycheck as it is for many
@@LeviClay I can tell!!it really shows.
Wow, very knowledgeable, pleasant voice and easy on the eyes. Subscribed. I'm getting my shell pink bullet strat tomorrow :)
Thanks very much for this.
thanks alot !
16:00 “sorry, I played again the minor third, from minor to major. It’s a habit, it’s called making music…” priceless!!
Very nice, this is exactly what i'm looking for. I want to play chord while soloing
Hey, I just discovered Your channel, I like especially 2 parts of soloing school, Do You have plan doing part 3 about using triads in chords changes?
Great video man
Thanks alot
This was very informative. Thank you.
Very welcome 😎
Subscribed. Excellent teaching. Sliding that minor third to Major will be good way for me to remember where the dang thirds are to begin with.
Bingo! It’s works! Thanks for checking it out Brian :)
Fantastic lesson Levi...much appreciated!
Amazing lesson ! thanx
very very nice video! thanks !!
Levi! This is exactly something I've been trying to work on. While improvisation isn't on the horizon, writing melodies, I find is very hard on the guitar. I always notice the virtuosos talking about finding good melodies by Singing over a progression, but my voice and singing is so bad, when I find the notes, they don't sound good. Thank you for this, I'm going to start approaching melodies from a theory approach and hopefully it will yield better results! Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks. I just subscribed (and used the bell for notifications). Useful info!👍
Awesome, thank you!
OMG I've been saying 'blues lawyer' for YEARS HAHA. Great great videos my man, thank you for sharing your talent for teaching :)
For me the key was the constant downward picking during chord tone improvising. I was watchin your picking for the chord tone improvising and u always used downward picking then switched to alternate for scales and pentatonic. Can’t explain it but it worked like a charm for me. Great lesson thanks
I can explain it! When I started learning gypsy jazz and studied the picking I understood that downstrokes pushing inward into the guitar give you a shit ton more bass and projection to the note - so now I use downstrokes whenever I'm emphasising a melody.
I just came to see your Gattoncaster, those pickups really make that Danny sound!😍🤩
It’s magic
Great, thanks.
Muy bien explicado gracias
Thank you
Awesome. Thanx.
thank you
Thank you.
Hello Levi, great job!! Do you teach Western swing guitar?
Good lesson bro......
love it man. so much thanks! your tone is great as well.. what where you using?
It’s a Dr Z maz18 profile on the Kemper
Great playing! I want to learn those closed voiced triads that you start at 2:20. I'm familiar with the CAGED system. Which book and/or video should I check out?
Burton Kroes i took the concept from Mick Goodricks The Advancing Guitarist, but there’s no tab in that.
I feature it in my country guitar soloing techniques book if I’m to be believed in the video 😂
Best video ive ever seen! U teach very well!!
Odd comment, but... the combination of that pick, amp settings, and (what the heck are those double rails?!) give such nuance to the attack! I'm really enjoying that texture!
Those are Danny Gattons pickups by JBE electronics
Nice!
Hi Levi, Thank you for this is great. I would like your chord diagrams mirrored or flipped up here because I find it difficult to follow.
you should learn to read chord charts properly.
Great information..u can clearly hearing chord changing 11:00 ..this is powerfull at least for me..i watched ur videos months ago but i wasnt at the level to understad it.but know when i practice i am more aware how to practice not just noodle..i love melodic "solos"
"If you ask me to play it again I can't. It's come and gone now"
I keep doing that! I play something cool and then can't remember what I did the next day or week.
I'm only 6 months in to learning so far from stuck in a few year rut. But I can see how it starts and can happen. Everything I end up with always has a similar sound no matter where I play on the neck.
Thanks for the lesson man!! Always appreciated! When I practice I always throw in some triads for the last 1--15 min to mix it up a bit. Still training my hands on pentatonic and diatonic scales and memorizing all the notes on the fret board. MIndlessly boring. BUt necessary as breathing. It's amazing how from one day to the next I can see improvement in speed and accuracy each time I play.
Levi! This sounds like the exact road in my playing that I'm missing. I don't fully understand it yet. But I've always just either been playing the 5 pentatonic positions, or 3 note per string scales. And my improvising sounds like scales a lot. I'm definitely gonna need to rewatch this a few times. Any tips on other resources of yours or some else I can go through to really start learning this?
+Eric Renner yeah man... keep your eyes peeled for more soloing school! :)
Filming this week
Clays books are excellent
Great so now I want to skip work and practice. Thanks a lot :-)
exact same thought here!
Haha been in that frame of mind many time 😂
Fantastic lesson!!! What was the name of the video and the artist you suggested at 23:30.
I mention the Buck Owens song, Together Again
Great tutorial. Your tone hear reminds me a lot of Jim Campilongo.
Sound like JB pickups,love them.Great video,thanks.
spot on!
So bring the flat 3rd in as a passing tone? Am I correctly understanding?
Ha I even see some off my teachers in the Patreon credits!
+monkface you have great taste in teachers! 😎
Hi Levi thanks for teaching, I just wanted to know if there is a DVD or CD with your method?
All on my Patreon
Playing triads on the top 3 strings alone can create some nice melodies.
,mayor pentatonic added minor third plus passing tone in between whole steps.
This is by far the best lesson on triads on YT. Thanks for sharing, Levy!
Can you use this in Metal rock? Or only Dolly Parton Rock??? K.B.
@levi do you find necessary to now every note on the neck to be able to apply these concepts?
Yes you have to know where each root note is and rest of the notes are relative to that actual root note, so no need to think about absolute names but rather with intervals (major third, flat seventh etc)
@@pnowak2 that's how i do it
Sounds like shadows, can i use it in Metal rock?
do you have a video on all the triads. just simply the triads. i know it will help with my playing
Not on UA-cam. They’re all in the first weekly guided practice routine on my Patreon
Hey Levi,
What about 3rd of minor chord ?
Do I play from flat of minor triad and land on minor 3rd during a minor chord ?
You can. That’s a lovely sound too
9:35 great vid so far 👍
Thanks Ben 😎
I love this guy's slightly condescending tone sometimes, especially when he demonstrates examples of playing well below his level. It makes me laugh. That being said, I learned more spending five minutes here than watching a dozen other videos or left to my own devices. Respect!
I love this guys slightly condescending comments at all times
@@LeviClay Ouch.
Ya this is useful
...nice tele
the best tele! :D
The best lesson I have ever come across for using triads and playing over chords!!!!!
So inshort I'll just add the flat third amd use triad shapes to solo
Why do you not have 1 million subscribers? Great lesson!
Only you can help make that happen! ❤️
You're a treasure man
Does Fender make a " two stringed guitar tuned in sevenths?"
Where can I find the book you've written that was referenced in the video?
Never mind, found it! :)
Beat me to it!
So do any of these solo schools have any related tab?
I kind of upgraded for the tabs.
These were all WAY before I was making tabs for videos unfortunately. Though tbh, I’d forgotten UA-cam memberships was even a thing as no one is really there, it’s all about Patreon. Let me send out an update!
superior
HOLY MOTHER OF**%% the penny has dropped!!! Levi Clay you have taken away all the bullshit from this topic... and placed it on a platter for all confused frustrated guitar players!! Steve Stein, Marty, Justin EVERYONE... This is how you wrap up and teach a topic without selling 15 DVDs to explain the above!!! HATS OFF LEVI!!!! I can finally play guitar...and chord follow with the basic knowledge needed to produce melody!!!!
Fantastic! My teaching is about getting results, and I firmly believe that my UA-cam content is enough for a certain type of student. For those that need more guidance, I have books and I do private lessons (for a fraction of one any of those guys would charge!).
That was the countriest sounding blues I’ve ever heard, but love the lesson. Thanks.
yeah man, there's a LOT of country/western swing in my playing!
So...what I think I’m understanding from watching the video is that in order to do this...I need a Telecaster.
Got it!
Gear equals musicianship, right? Right?
RedHead Guy can confirm... when I try and do this on any other guitar... it sucks
Enjoying this video. I can play the chords and copy the riffs pretty well by ear. (Sounds like phish). I don’t understand the triads so well. 😢😢
Not to plug my weekly guided practice routines on Patreon… but that’s what you need there!
Triad and melody
Keren jooos gandos maaknyooos Amazing ok salam sehat selalu🙏🙏🙏
