I am 65 years old and started playing the guitar when I was 8 years old and have never stopped. I really enjoy Active Melody videos. I am always finding different ways people do things to incorporate into what I do. Always in learning mode and always will be. I know many of you take lessons using Active Melody and I really want to give this young man a vote of confidence in his methods and how he teaches you to play the guitar. He gives you things you can really use to create your own unique styles. Many of the people giving lessons mainly sit there and show off and are pretty useless to teach at any level to be honest. This is a good path to take for you all to learn IMO . . . :)
So you play "smoke on the water" for 50 plus years
@@danielcollins5194 he probably has but at least he plays it right 😉
Nicely worded as I find Brian the finest guitar tutor that expresses his work finely
I see this on every guitar video lol. I'm 2853 years old and I've been playing for 1821 years and I'm still learning. I haven't posted any videos or commented on any other threads and I just really like the way this guy teaches. Are these bots or payed reviews?
totally agree .in this world of money first you are a fine example of professionalism and humility .thankyou scott 🇦🇺
I think triads is the most valuable underrated guitar concept
This is the best guitar lesson video I’ve ever seen. Everyone has tried - with less success - to make this click, but you nailed it. Judging by the comments, I’m not the only one. You’ve changed a lot of lives here.
Totally agree!
@@monkeymonkerson Me 2 .. Couldn't agree more.
I agree...one of the best lessons I've seen too
Fantastic! Thank you!
1000% true!! 🎸💯
Thank you for posting the best Triad lesson on CZcams.
I love the way you always show where this stuff comes from for context. My technical brain really appreciates it.
That helps my analytical brain too
You are going to produce a whole generation of guitar players who hit the better notes. Thanks for making this so accessible! But more Arlo please!
Hi from UK, this video has just given me the ' at last the penny has dropped feeling' big thanks for that.
It all goes back to CAGED, am I right? The penny drops for me all the time but my fingers can't keep up hahaha
Absolutely wished I had picked up on it years ago.
George105, you are speaking for me!!!! Hey from Kampala.
Wanna learn guitar online? Plenty of great teachers to discover (Marty, Justin, etc.) Just make sure you religiously subscribe to ActiveMelody and have Brian by your side. Six years now and I’m still amazed by his originality and dedication. Thanks, coach!
Brian, I don't understand how on earth you don't have a million subscribers. Clearly you are one of the best CZcams tutors. Have been your subscribers for years now and I have always enjoyed your videos. Surely there must be at least a million passionate guitar players out there. You clearly deserve it
For those like me, who don't read music, these triads are easily found and played, by simply following your playing.. not sure I'm saying this correctly.. bottom line, I just copy what you're playing as you're voicing/explaining what "we" are doing. So weird, I know these triads, or many of them at any rate. Ex. The riff on Brown Eyed Girl is right there im triads! Fun. Thank you!
It's a demonstration and explanation that opens doors for fill and leads when you get comfortable with the notes! I practice the triads thinking "hey, that sounds like" same with leads.. okay, the coffee is wearing off, thanks again!
I could listen to that guitar playing slow arpeggios for hours! What a tone!
I have taught piano chording for over 50 years, along with guitar, but love your method of teaching triads, new tool for me, and appreciate your teaching skills, excellent.
@Active Melody: you changed my life. The best online course !
For years I would hear a song on the radio almost every week and it would be my goal to find it on CZcams, learn how it's played, and try playing it during the weekend. After seeing this video today I decided to subscribe because I want to understand how everything comes together. Doing the fingering to learn how songs are played is one thing, but understanding why, where, and how - the fundamentals - is something I'm eager to pursue.
Brian is brilliant. His way of explaining these seemingly complex concepts is amazing. Thanks!
I remember going through so my "generations" of youtube teachers over the last 10 years and this guy Brian right here speaks to me. There are a few that speak to me but Brian right here has taken my playing to where it needs to be. And he continues to. Amazing and grateful to be here. Thank you!
I'm happy I ventured into triads. This video confirms their importance and shows some really good ways to utilize them.
You are a GREAT teacher. I’ve been playing for over 30 years and have been teaching for 20, and this is the absolute best explanation I’ve ever seen of this stuff.
Your teaching is excellent. You should call a subset of your videos Lightbulb blues, as I watched 3 or 4, and now get it. I have dabbled for years snd can even read music, but blues felt like another world of music, and too much memorisation, but your simple 4 box techniques, and major minor pentatonic, made it super easy to get going. I am sure that original blues guys did similar things, and just noticed a few easy patterns, without learning extensive theory. Best of all you can focus on the sounds...Thank you
Light bulb moments, many of them. You make them happen. Thank you!
So grateful for this video. Despite know all the triads and being really fluent with the CAGED system, I never figured out such a practical way to seeing and using those 'sliding 6ths'
the chord progression with those voicings immediately brought all those late '50's and early '60's songs to mind.. thanks
I have taught guitar for over 25 years. Hands down that is the best I have ever seen it explained. Wish I could have put it that clearly for all this time.
Every time I watch your videos I get a lightbulb moment. Your explanations are so easy to understand. Brilliant
This is what I call perfect timing. I just figured this triad thing on the first three strings out myself this week, but you take it a little further in the second half of your video. So I'll watch it a couple of times over to get it. By the way, all your videos I've seen so far really opened my mind, thank you !
Wow the way you explained the 3 notes in a chord just slammed me that changed everything thank you so much.
I really appreciate this video because at one point you played two chords back to back that reminded me of a Triad court structure song that I wrote about 17 years ago and I wouldn’t have remembered it otherwise. There are two parts to the song with the bass line and I really love that song and I’m going to work on finishing it now.
Now, this guy is the REAL THING ! Knows what he's talking about and a wonderful communicator . Teaches all levels. I'm really lucky to have found him.
I have watched a bunch of CAGED videos. Your triad videos have changed my practice hugely. I am playing triads mostly on the DGB strings for shapes. 3 shapes have opened lots new ideas. I thought for years that I needed to use all 6 strings. I have improved finger picking too by learning to focus my movement on triads. You point out how triad shapes are related to full chords which has also been an eye opener. Thanks.
So many great nuggets in this single video. For those of us that have been playing for years, we sometimes know principals and patterns without knowing the proper names. Thanks
Active Melody’s lessons are great and this one in particular is wonderful. Brian’s teaching method and general likable demeanor makes all his videos a very valuable guide to learning. Thanks Brian!
So fascinating that I have literally watched 100's of guitar videos in my life that don't speak my language (figuratively of course), but then one comes along that completely changes things for me. Thank you!
Sir you just helped me un- muddy the water of my mind! I too have been playing for years and you just cleared up the idea of a major chord for me! Thank you!
Brian, you are indeed an excellent teacher. Finally, after years of just being self taught, taking breaks,...etc. I learn somethingS everyday watching your lessons. Also now I dare to expand. Thank you
30 years playing guitar and you've just blown my mind lol. Seen triads but never really tried to use them. Big thank you sir.
QUESTION!! what were you playing in 30 years!! triads are in everything!!!
Been playing for years and sick pf playing the same thing over and over. Defo wished I had picked up these years ago as they really do make a difference. Now ensuring that my grandson learns this as he strats out on learning the guitar. Thanks for this..
Thank you, Maestro, I was using triads with out knowing it. Man what a lesson!! SIMPLY PRICELESS!!!
I wish I could have learned this 30 years ago! Better late than never though!
Lots of REALLY good teachers on YT, of which some are simply VERY good. You are among them.
Thank you for all of your work!!!!!
Killer lesson. This was tailored for me. It really helped me understand the cageD system more clearly by breaking it down into the three high strings. Thanks.
That's another gem of a lesson, another must-do for me! Also love the new set, new guitar and ... everything else :)
I am a long time bass player (50 plus years) and have always wanted to learn the guitar but never had proper instruction. I learned basic chords but not much beyond that. I recently became more determined to get better and saw this video. Really great stuff here! Thank you, thank you!!!
Another great lesson. But I think a triad lesson using one string set over, strings 2, 3 & 4 would be a great one. I think the tonal range of those inside strings is not as 'muddy' as using the lower strings but slightly more full than the first set of three strings. For me, I prefer the slightly lower tones of the inside strings. I think a lot of your followers would appreciate this too. Thanks!
I'm also new to this, but it should be applicable the same way. If you use barret chords, look at those strings and use the shapes all over the fretboard. The hardest thing for me currently is memorizing where all the notes are, as so far I only learned the top 2 strings. Which doesn't help the triads at all haha
The most use fast track educational video Ive seen. I was doing this already to some extent, but now I know the formula to do it correctly instead of guessing by ear. So I'll do it way more and better. I had no idea what I was doing before.
I appreciate the deeper explanation of what notes make up the chord. Always better than just memorizing shapes. I need to know the what AND the why in order to assimilate and integrate all of this stuff. Thank you.
EVERYONE should be a premium member. It’s worth every penny. I have learned so much from you. I can’t wait till new lessons come out. The membership comes with extra information and jamming tracks.... I love your site.
It's true. Triads changed the way I play. I owed them money so they took my guitar and rig and told me I owe them all kinds of favours. This has severely impacted both my rythm and leads.
This is a really great lesson. I've using most of the things you're showing but I never understood the logic behin those shapes. You're a fantastic teacher - you really have a knack for explaining things. Super job, thanks soo much!
Excellent. I've seen lots of lessons on triads, 3rds and 6ths but this is one of the best.
For years I alway thought that to play chords correctly I had to include and strum all six strings, triads are great, and they make a whole lot of sense and make me understand how guitarists like Hendrix played a lot of his guitar sounds.
I’ve been following you for a long time Brian , you’re one of the best teachers in the virtual world 👍
just amazing. You are a gifted teacher. I am a golf instructor, and know the pleasure you must get showing people how to do something they couldn't do before. Thank you
I came on today, just to write this comment. This man is the best instructor there is. His clarity and the way he explains things are second to none. Every single video I watch, I learn something I've wondered about but have not had HIS explanation methods. This guy is EXCELLENT. Then I saw how many of his videos are in the MILLIONS of views, which says a lot. Pay attention to this man! ! ! ! ! ! !
One of the BEST guitar instruction channels on CZcams! Brian is on the Mount Rushmore of guitar teachers!
iv been falowing Brian for about 2 yr's now his tecneck has realy changed my life and my guitar pratice im 68 retired i try to practice every day .. I realy need to step up to the plate and get the preameum advantage .i to have had a guitar my hole life mostly in the closet .. the tab realy works the best for me ..thank you brian againi am working on my end
Your lesson really helps to clarify what’s happening at the neck. Excellent lesson.
I really loved this lesson, it really opened my eyes to something I thought I knew but didn't. Thanks for that and keep up the great work.
Amazingly simple, effective and useful introduction to triads on guitar!
This is a superb lesson, thank you. I'm picking up my guitar (and a newly made cigar box 3 string guitar) for the first time after a long gap and these tips really help.
The Lesson was useful & necessary like the water we drink. More of the same from time to time, please !!!
Thanks Brian man ☘🇺🇲
This is what I need most in a language I understand, great teaching style. I’m trying to undo 50 years of bad habits and playing by ear without a solid theory foundation. Thanks!
That's the great thing about guitar, or instrument playing in general - There's always something new to learn. Never too late to broaden your horizons!
Made a loop out of the chord progression you put up on the screen and started playing with the 6th harmonies over the top, could’ve got lost in it forever. Thanks
Ik ben nu 74 jaar en volg Brian al een paar jaar, nu ben ik zover dat ik ga nu premium-lid worden. Hij is een geweldigen leraar, ik hoop nog lang te genieten van je lessen, Thanks!
Absolutely blew my mind with your chord explanation at 3:55
I’ve been playing for decades too and always thought there were more notes being played because of all the strings 😂🤣 lol
Learn something new everyday
Thank you.
Great lesson.
Yeah learning triads helped me a lot when I was learning slow stuff and it makes a huge difference understanding the whole neck.
Much prefer listening to tasteful playing like this than any shred videos....Thanks Brian you are an inspiration...😁😁👍👍🎸🎸
Thank you Brian for making music real. The things that you teach are for real life. Great job man. Please keep it up. I am a poor musician but I gain a lot from the things that you teach.
You have just opened up the secret of the guitar professional so that it looks very simple. Thank you very much chief. Cheers from Indonesia.
You're giving us all great insight to the triad harmonies and simple chord progressions. Thank you so much. It's so much fun to have access to your great method of teaching. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant lesson! This helps us lower intermediate players add another layer of understanding
This is great. I've been exploring this recently and your walkthrough is really helpful in seeing a context for the application of these tools.
I have seen a lot of guitar tutorials, and this must be one of the best ever!! I learnt so much more in this video than I have for the fifty years I have been playing! Awesone job! Looking forward to seeing more. Excellent teacher - well done!! (All the way from Zululand - South Africa)!
Mind Blown! To be honest, I’ve kinda enjoyed playing triads for quite a while but never knew that I was playing triads until I’d heard it this thing called “triads” recently!! Fantastic video, super explanations that give room for the learner to learn independently later, and a lovely guitar to boot!!! Subscribed
That is awesome; a major chord is only ever 1, 3 and 5. Like you, I felt when I strummed a guitar major chord there must be other notes in there too! Awesome discovery, thanks!
So much value! Will be rewatching again a good few times ✊🏽
Such mellow playing, fantastic Brian, great lesson. Thanks
Brian thank you so much, as a beginner in his late years brilliantly walked through.
You just chang my whole life with this lesson..you is a very good (A) class teacher..keep on doing what your doing .. all the way from small island Grenada..
I wasn't expecting to learn anything new, but the bit about the 6th and 9th chords was a lightbulb moment!
Terrific lesson. A ton of knowledge in 24 minutes. Thanks so much!!!
Most useful guitar lessons I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Wonderful clarity - 6 strings and yet still 3 notes - thank you🙏
Great lesson because it's so digestible and useful. I love learning new ways to play things and get nuggets of theory that I can apply
This is a great lesson - clear, concise...with immediate application - thanks!
What a great teacher! You do a magnificent job. Ty for all your help.
Amazing way to explain triads. Thank you!
I spent christmas break learning the triads on the first 3 strings and it's opened up the fret board for me. I don't have to rely on the 5th and 6th string barre chords to play songs. I can't get a lot done and stay in one section of the guitar. also a lot of progressions sound a lot better when you use the same chord tones. I can also make quick work of transcribing songs now. I can't go back after learning this!
That is a tremendously useful 25 minutes of any guitarist's time 😊
simple and yet deep and beautiful. Lots of things to learn and try using your ideas, thanks.
Only recently found your channel and to be honest I've learnt more in a week than I have in 20 years! Nice one!!
Hi it's always pleasure to watch your videos for learning how to start improvising with all these little tools to enable me playing in the way I want.
You are a great teacher !!! I'm learning a lot with you !!! Eres un maestroooooo !!!
Learn more watching you than any other. Amazing job on triads.
It's great to have someone show how to play guitar in a way that is achievable for most people and melodic no mindless hundred mile can hour note trashing
This is definitely one of the greatest video lesson I have seen.. thank you Sir. God bless u
Great lesson 👍🏻. Loved the closing piece that pulled it all together and that guitar sounds smooth as butter 🎸
Best explanation on this I have ever heard. Hands down.
I find the level you teach at is perfect. Lots of us have been playing with some theory knowledge but initially learned in a patchwork way that eventually dries up. These vids are well explained. About to go premium. Thanks.
I've been doing much of this (I've called them "partials" sometimes) for years and figured it out on my own and I appreciate this lesson clarifying some of the theory and giving me a bit more depth of possibility. Thanks.
Thank-you Brian,
Thank-you so much for EP399 truly one of the greatest + enlightening + "demystifying" guitar lessons I've ever taken in my whole life of seven and a half decades.
🔅
By "demystifying" I mean to express my feeling as if the German laymen must have felt when they came to read Martin Luther's plain German language version of the Bible five centuries ago.

This is fabulous! Thank you! You're putting so much together for me!
