How to Apply Guitar Triads to Chord Progressions

Cowboy chords and barre chords are great but triads offer A LOT of flexibility on the guitar neck! In this first video of my triad series I explore how you can use triads on guitar to play with a chord progression.

immediately liked/subbed when you said your favorite movie.
Love this video. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the kind words and watching! More videos to come in the near future 🤘
Oh man!
Agreed! Michael put together an amazing studio.
🤘👍🏿
😎🤘
Across the net over my speakers...The High Road has it for a fountain of exploding fuzz colors.
It’s such a great fuzz! I’ll never get rid of it 🤘
So awesome, great setup
Thanks for the kind words! Michael did an amazing job putting his studio together - it’s got a great vibe and killer gear.
You sir, are my hero. Fantastic (and educational).
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Love this! Doug is the man.
Sean! Hey love your videos - Thanks for checking out my channel! Doug and the team are fantastic - Doug’s humor directly influenced my decision to buy a Korona 😂
Good explanation but stop to make us think that it's possible to learn triads in 6 minutes!Learning is memorize and it take time and repetition!!!
Thank you for the kind words! Lots of people don’t like long form lesson videos so the title was more so to entice those people to give my video a shot by telling them it was less than 6 minutes. After reading your comment though - I see that the title could also be a bit misleading and I totally agree with your point! Thanks again for watching!
Great interview. Earned a new subscriber.
Thanks for the kind words and subscribing! More videos to come soon🤘
didn't really notice the tour
The wiring and patching.. God bless. What a setup. I remember seeing Mr. Rosen's name on receipts when I worked at Leo's Pro Audio in Oakland. Glad he's still rocking in the Bay!
Loved hearing him geek out about his wiring! I wish I had a fraction of the cable management and organization that he does 😂
You did a beautiful job on the cabinet!
Thanks Paul! 🤘
14:05 I hate social media as well lol ✌️
😂 same!
Awesome to see Hyde is standing strong. It’s a shame all the studios that closed in the Bay. We are losing history by the day.
We really are! I’m hopeful that we will be hearing music coming out of Hyde Street for decades to come!
Outstanding interview and tour, thanks! I was fortunate enough to record with my old band at Michael's previous location on San Pablo Ave 10 years ago. It was an awesome time, he was so good at it and so inspiring with how he directed the sessions, the stories he would tell, and just how simple he made it for us. A few familiar looking items in his new studio I recognize from back then. He really deserves this kind of space. As a budding recording engineer myself, recording at the San Pablo place helped me to realize that even in a pretty humble little location you can still get great results if you have the know-how. He had also given me a few recommendations of things to try on my own sessions. One of his suggestions was to use D112s on the toms, and sure enough that's what he's got on his studio kit here.
Thanks for the kind words and checking out the video! It was such a pleasure working with Michael on this video - he was so generous with his time and the man is not only a great engineer and producer, but an incredible story teller!
Also love that he practices what he preaches! Still standing behind the D112s for the toms is killer 🤘
My Michael Peterson! How far you've come since we first met 😉
Michael is the best! Thanks for checking out the video 🤘
Hyde Street!
Such a killer studio!
I like his studio approach. Im planning my new setup in my garage doing it proper room within a room and whatnot and this studio is similar
Me too! I love the idea of leaning into what some might consider shortcomings of the space (bleed) and using that to help glue the track together. I’m hoping to put together a space as well at some point! All the best with your build!
Nice work
Thanks for the kind words and checking out the video 🤘
beautiful studio
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for checking out the video 🤘
This place is amazing. Recorded here once and it’s top notch! Love you guys!
Loved getting to chat with Michael and take a tour of his studio! Who did you work with at East Bay Recorders?
Such a well thought out space and gear flow, love it, thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the kind words and checking out the video!
This studio looks amazing! One of my favorite songs of all time was recorded there. Plus, Faith No More practiced there?! SO SICK!!!

Thank you
Thanks for having me out!
Awesome vid! Hello from San Jose, CA (Bay Area) This vid is very inspiring. My adopted parents use to have TIKI Sound Studios/ O'Neal Productions.
Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the video!
This was a load of fun to watch 🙌🏻 Haven't been there since early 2000s. I've got Impulse Responses of that very Reverb Chamber, although I think the mic setup was different. Let me know if you want those. Regardless, an amazing verb that works on lots of things. I still use it all the time 🤣 I loved that you showed the production setups in he other rooms. Cool stuff!!!
Man the more people I talk to the more I realize how connected Hyde Street Studios is to A LOT of people! Thanks for the kind words Nick! This video was such a blast to make!
i think it may have all finally clicked for me, with each triad shape no matter the chord you are playing you are still in the g major scale shape correct? although you could also change to the d major scale over the d major chord as well right? thats the bit that always confuses me
Glad to hear you found this video useful! Yes I stay in the g major scale in this video. You could absolutely switch to the D Major scale over the D major chord. The reason this works is because that scale contains all the notes found in the D Major chord. It always comes back to “are the notes in this scale in the chord”, if they are - you can insert that scale. Using 1 scale as my pallet of notes and thinking of triad shapes (like I do in this video) is just one way of approaching solos and improvisation. Switching scales is another equally valid way of playing, it takes a bit more legwork to not get lost on the fretboard in the moment BUT its a fun way to add color to your playing.
I am very curious about all the kool acoustic treatment devices you have in different rooms
Hey there! I believe Jacob Light built these panels (the rectangle ones with fabric) with the help of a friend. There's actually a fantastic video from "Adam Audio" on how to build these from scratch if you search here on CZcams: "How to make Sound Panels". Hope this helps!
@@ChristopherBeanMusic thank you , you have a very nice studio appreciate the courtesy of pointing me in the right direction
Where do,these kool diffusers come from?
I forgot to mention the big diffuser in the big video was made by a long time student of Jacob's. Adam Audio also has a great video about how to make a diffuser that I'd recommend checking out. Try searching "DIY Studio Diffusion Adam Audio". Thanks again for checking out my video!
Give me it
This is how you know when an item is overpriced. ‘Free vacation’ lol some people should not have access to money
It’s definitely a crazy price! Jack is the studio manager at Hyde Street Studios in SF. He was sent to Germany by the studio owners to pickup the mic, hence a free vacation for Jack 👍
Man they make such gorgeous instruments!
Beautiful instruments made by beautiful people 🤘
No. I went to buy one, tried a bunch and ended up with a 53 custom shop tele that blew the Novo guitars out the water
Hey Dan, huge congrats on the new custom shop tele! No one guitar is right for everyone - I’m glad you were able to play a bunch side by side and arrive on the right guitar for you. 🤘 enjoy the new tele!
This is such a great video! <3
Glad you liked it!
Such a joy to see this video. I had the honour of recording in the studio A and D in the 90's. Excellent being able to see the rooms again.
Oh that's so cool! It sounds like they have tried to preserve as much as they can. Does it look pretty similar to back then?
The more I talk with folks, the more I learn just how many people are connected to this place - it’s amazing!
Nice video! I didn't know that Hyde Street was still open; it's good to see them thriving.
Thanks for checking out my video! They are doing well and you just can’t ask for a nicer group of folks!
For those mentioning the drums, they are definitely too loud - I’ll be sure to lower any bg music used in the future. Thanks for watching 🤘
I didn't even pick up on it until I came to the comments 🤣 Didn't bother me a bit 🤷 But dude, seriously, write a couple different cordal ideas and let's make you some original musical pieces to use a bed tracks for these videos. I like the idea. Drop by some Saturday or Sunday and we'll make it happen. On the house 👊🏻
Yeah… that drumming was not good… or just too loud.
Definitely too loud! Lesson learned - thanks for watching!
Such a gorgeous studio! 🤘🤘🤘
It was awesome to see in person!
Poor video - no continuity - annoying drumming for no purpose
Thanks for checking out the video and for your honest feedback!
Great content but I found the drumming in the background is so annoying and unnecessary.
Hello Pete! Thanks for checking out the video and your feedback! Glad you liked the content - I’ll continue to experiment with some other background elements in the future.
What was the point? Distracting and annoying.
@@rjb7569 way too loud - lesson learned!
Pretty sure that the Sound City console which Dave Grohl owns now is actually a 8028. Nice video, great classic studio with lovely vibe <3
Thanks for the kind words and checking out the video! You are correct! Looks like Dave’s is in the same series as Hyde Streets, just 1 tier apart.
So many iconic recordssss 🙌
Your original music was worth the wait. Surprised at the light gauge string set, but sounded great in the mix. This was an honest demo. I appreciated the learning curve Christopher.
Hey there Ryan, I went light gauge strings due to a hand injury a couple of years back. Thanks for checking out my video and the kind words!
Thanks for reply. I certainly know about injuries. I started out w light guage and loved the flexibility.
