As an intermediate player, arpeggios and triads have helped me to visualize the fretboard better and recognize chord tones within scales. Maybe because they're smaller chunks it's easier for me to digest?. But I get what you're saying about them with regard to the blues.
Gosh!!!! God bless you!!!!! All UA-cam talking about triads, so all beginer students trying to learn triads and trying to create a nice melody with it. The result? Frustration. Triads are a way to help visualize parts of the freetboard and knowing where to land cause Is a safe note. As you say, there are major things to learn to improve in the guitar. The thing Is, talking about triads nowadays give you followers.
I started down the triad path. It was interesting and illuminating. However, as I gravitated towards fingerstyle blues, I found the blues scale to be far more useful.
Have I been getting it wrong by learning what I thought were 7th chord triads. Sometimes, I believe, referred to as chord fragments. (3rd, flat 7th, & either root or 5th) as a way of using simpler shapes due to my having damaged fingers and finding 4 note or barre chords difficult oftentimes?
I didn't say they aren't useful, I said that nearly everything I do on a guitar I do using some other thing. Some people love triads and visualize a lot of the fretboard that way, I'm just not one of those people and not many people I know think that way.
It's not that simple. 1-3-5 is the root position for a major triad. There are two inversions: 3-5-1 and 5-1-3. The same can be said for minor triads, except minor triads are 1-3b-5, 3b-5-1, and 5-1-3b.
@jimwing.2178 I don't disagree, and left out those other examples for brevity. Basically, major or minor, a triad is root, third, fifth. Inverting them doesn't change their composition. Didn't mean to assume - it's just not that complicated for me
@@skinnygumbo9555 I believe he was suggesting triads don't work for the dominant 7th chords or any others besides major and minor 1.3(b).5. But yes, a triad IS a triad.
I feel the same way. Problem is, a lot of people think they are some magical key to everything, and I just don't see why. Anything I want to explain on a guitar or visualize I can do in some other way that, to me, is more effective.

nice job from Iran
I don't know, look up red strat blues by kirk lorange. He uses only triads to visualize the fretboard and it's a pretty impressive blues solo.

All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs! 👍
Best comment I've ever received on UA-cam 😂
👍🏻👍🏻
Can you do "Dreams of Milk and Honey" by Mountain?

A lesson about triads which is not about Triads?
I told you what they are, they aren't complex, so there's not much to it.
But... isnt he supposed to wear a whiskey-whatever t-shirt...😮😊
I do have a handful of other shirts 😂
Triads aren't useful? wth are you talking about?

I don't get the big deal. If you know your fretboard, the triad is 1-3-5. Done
