Triads on Guitar: What's the Point???
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- There are a number of videos on triads on the guitar here already, but the thing that many videos miss out is that we need to do more than just memorize triad shapes on the guitar fretboard. When I teach guitar lessons here in Vancouver I always get my students to memorize how the triad chord shapes fit the Major Pentatonic scale shapes. Every chord has a scale that goes with it. This way we can combine chords and scales at the same time, add chords into our solos, or combine short licks when playing rhythm guitar.
In this lesson you'll learn how to play the three most common triad shapes on the guitar using a combination of the D, G and B strings. In our Patreon this week we will study how to quickly shift from the I chord to the IV chord using these same triad shapes, and connect to the Major Pentatonic scale of the IV chord too!
On our Patreon group we will have more licks for each shape in tabs, plus the jam track. Join our Patreon group at / guitarlessonsvancouver

Wow! This is actually more immediately useful than I had hoped! Directly connecting the triads to the Pentatonic positions is great! Thanks!
Thank you! Good point about livestream notifications I've heard that.
I love the idea of livestream videos but youtube's notifications are sketchy at best. But I feel like your audience would ask some great questions so even if I didn't catch the stream live, I'm sure there would still be a lot of good info. Great lesson, Blue!
I am learning a great deal from you. You cut the chase and give great tips that keeps me going. Thank You
Thank you very much! Lots of lesson on the channel! And more coming (almost) every Saturday!
Hi! I'm starting to watch your videos a couple of days ago...I've been self thought for 30 years but I actually never connected things until your simplicity let me understand what I probably knew but as I said after 30 years of playing even in many important gigs I was still in my comfort zone and confused ...you know what I mean
thank you a lot
That's great to hear thank you! There are lots of videos on the channel, and more coming next week. We also have our Patreon group you can try if you haven't already www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
A livestream could be very intersting for your followers but don't forget the different local times of your followers. I think you have also a lot of followers from Europe. Like me 🙏
Mornin' Blue! A subscriber here.. A cup of coffee and a triad lesson! What could be better than that?!?
Nice! What a great combo 🎸☕️
I was waiting for a Triad video from you and guess what here it is. and I get to like it as the first one. And yes for the live stream. Thanks
Thank you!
YES to the live stream.
Guitar teacher lever 1000000
This is one of the best lesson I have had on youtube, Thanks!
Great to hear, thank you for sayin'!
I have been learning to play guitar for years now from various CZcams instructors, also bought courses. I feel stuck sometimes as an intermediate player, but your videos definitely help and encourage me. I always find a new perspective or aha moment to the thing I already know. Great content and fantastic teacher, thank you! Greetings from Hungary, Europe.
Thank you that's great to hear! If you are looking for more lessons like this you can also try our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
I have been practicing this video for the last 4 hrs.OMG what an Aha time. I figured out the 4 and 5. This has blown me away, I've been waiting on a video like this for years . CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!!
Well done! Congrats on figuring out the IV and V. If you can memorize the closest IV for each of the triads, you've really got it.
Fantastic lesson, like all of your others that I’ve played. I totally agree that you deserve far more subscribers and I hope that comes for you. The way you weave in the chords with the scales and triads in such a clear way is quite unique and I really appreciate it. I have happily signed up for your Patreon as a result of these videos - really thankful for your efforts
Wonderful thank you! See you on Patreon!
Another great lesson. One thing that helped me was to look at a picture of the fretboard with all the notes on it. I figure out the root, third and fifth for a chord and just scan the paper looking for any of the the three notes. When I find one I look for the other two and they are usually right there and you can figure out the triad for your self instead of looking at a book. When you search it out for yourself it also seems to be easier to remember. I then repeat it for each note until I do the exercise for all 7 notes.. I need to figure out arpeggios and modes one day...
Thank you Blue. Finally someone who can explain triads . For me triads was like learning Chinese.
Thank you! Glad it helped 👍
I love your content. Your explanations are very helpful and intuitive. I only wish that you would show the minor examples when you show the major. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'll keep that in mind. 👍
Seriously on point as always. It is abundantly clear that you are here to teach rather than blow smoke. Such a change from all the other so called CZcams Guitar Teachers. A huge thanks. Champion stuff.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Awesome lesson Blue. Love your teaching techniques, they are very helpful to me as a wanna be player😊. YES!! Let’s do a live session!! I’ve never been in one, but I’m sure it’d be sooo cool. Thank you from a subscriber.👊
Thanks!
Thanks Blue....Another stellar lesson. Clear,calm and concise. Hell ya for a livestream😊
Thank you!!
I love your approach!! I learned in this video make sense of the triad. Thank you so much!!
Cool thanks for watching and commenting. Lots more lesson videos on this channel and on our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
I often (but not always) use my index finger to bar strings 1 thru 4 for underlying C shape triads so I can hammer on or pull off the ring finger on string 4. Can also hammer on middle and ring fingers simultaeously for that Keith Richards thing. It also puts the index finger in a good position for playing “funny B string” pentatonic licks on strings 1-4.
For sure! Lots of great licks from that!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver - btw, I like your names for various pentatonic patterns better than using pattern numbers 1-5 since major and minor pent scales use different numbers for the same general fingering patterns. Your descriptive names are less confusing in the long run.
@@skippy6086 Thank you! That's exactly why I came up with the names. They are descriptive so easier to remember which is which :)
When i searched for triads i haven't seen your video. I only noticed this channel when i look for blackbird song analysis. Nice lessons sir
Thank you! Lots more lessons on the channel and our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
Yet another great lesson Blue!
You are definitely one of the best Guitar Teachers on the internet. Your lessons seem to stay with me… Thank You!
Thanks again!
Absolutely yes for a live stream, please publish when well in advance.
Thank you!
Wow this blew my mind. Helped out a lot thanks
Glad to hear it thanks! Lots more lessons like it on the channel :)
Hey Blue, live steams would be awesome. You are definitely one of the best guitar teachers on CZcams! Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback 😊
Great breakdown and connection lesson...thanks
Glad it was helpful thank you!
Great! Thanks! Just subscribed! Fresh approach. Excellently explained!!!✌️❤️
Awesome, thank you!
Like these videos, and just bought your books and they should be delivered today, bless Amazon
Awesome, thank you! Remember there's a link in the books showing where you can download the mp3s.
Your videos have theeeee most bang for my imaginary buck. Thank you!
Great to hear thank you!!
Yes, Livestream ! Your lessons are the best. I have improved dramatically since I started following you on CZcams and now on Patreon
Awesome thank you!
Good stuff blue. This lesson would have saved me some time experimenting with triads and scales, I definitely put the work in. This definitely opened up the fretboard for me when I learned these concepts connected to the caged system. This should help a lot of players.
Great to hear! Well done!
Hello Blue, a new subscriber here enjoying your awesome lessons. Thank you!
Great! thank you for subscribing! Lots more coming after Christmas. But if you're new to the channel there are over 50 videos here to keep you busy 😉
your lessons are always a treat to watch, i'd love to see livestreams from you.
Thank you! And thanks for the vote for livestreams.
Another great lesson, I think your subsribers increasing is just a matter of time. Your content is great, and you present it in a very accessible way.
Thank you, I think so too.
Another Great Lesson... THANKS!!!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
Definite yes to livestream. Would be very helpful.
So nice to learn something new.
Glad to hear it! Lots more guitar lessons like this on the channel 👍
A live stream would be interesting to try and see. You can make it available as a video after. While the video is not interactive, many players' questions will apply to a lot of other viewers that may not be in the right time zone for the live broadcast.
Good point thank you!
your Lesson flow is AMAZING. i was confused last week, and you answered my question.
which is this Lesson. i am actually getting better. thanks Dude
Great to hear, well done!
Live stream would be awesome!

Yeah Buddy! I asked for this last week and you delivered! Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion 😊
Another great lesson. All of your videos are amazingly clear and targeted so that all levels will get something useful. Definitely undersubscribed channel! Thank you Blue.
Great to hear! Thank you!
That was a great explanation. I’ve already got those positions under my belt and I’m good to go. Just never had it explained the way you explain it.
Glad it helped!
I really like the way you´re teaching. Great lesson again, thank you!
Thank you! 😃
Yes! To you doing live lessons for answering questions.
best teacher I have seen on here!
Thank you very much!
Nice lesson. Thank you 👏
Thank you! 😃
Bring on the live stream! Another good one Blue. Also everyone I pay the lowest price for the Patreon. So come on everyone, sign up for what you can afford. Oh Blue, the bridge humbucker sounds awesome. But your sunburst Tele is still my favourite.
Thank you 😎 that's my favourite guitar too.
Fabulous information!
Thanks David!!
Great lesson Blue. Very poignant. I’ve had a paid membership to a really good CZcams guitar teacher for years. Thinking about switching to you but know nothing about patreon. Your lessons are great so maybe I’ll look into switching. Thanks again

Love the sound on your guitar, if you are familiar with the spark practice amp what would be the closes setting to get in that ball park?❤
Thanks! I don't have the Spark amp but if you look for a Fender Deluxe Reverb on there you'll be close to it. I also have some tape delay added to it and a touch of compression.
Awesome, thanks for the reply. I’ll check into that. Love what you are doing!! Just recently ordered both of the soloing books.
@@user-hi9sm3wz2t cool thanks for getting the books too 😎
Excellent insightful lesson. Until you start doing livestreams can I ask a question? I understand the scales with the first 2 triad shapes but I do not understand the scale with the 3rd triad shape. The scale you are using looks like box 4 of the F#m pentatonic scale. How does this fit with an A triad?
Good question. Every Minor Pentatonic has a relative Major Pentatonic with the same notes. That Shape 4 F#m Pentatonic is also A Major Pentatonic (root on the A string pinky finger). So all the shapes in this triad video are both A Major and F# Minor. More info about how that works in this video czcams.com/video/2vXMecfmhdc/video.html
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Thanks for your reply. I understand the concept of the relative minor. I think what threw me off was that for the first 2 triad shapes you were using Box 1 and Box 2 of the A minor pentatonic scale but then you use Box 4 of the relative minor on the 3rd triad shape. That hurts my brain.
Gold. Livestream please! 🙏
Thank you! Your vote for livestreams is noted. Now I just have to figure out how to do it....
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Haha! I know you can do it! I watch all your videos! Best on CZcams. I appreciate you!!! 🙏
Shich pickup bridge is that 😮
I found it easier to memorise intervals than Pentatonix shapes , then you can work out the shape anywhere
I recommend my students memorize both pentatonic shapes and interval shapes. That way both are fast enough we don't need to think about it. Thanks for watching 👍
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver gg
Funny - this is how I think of things. In fact I generally don’t think of “notes” - I think entirely in intervals. Like if you ask me what the major third is of a chord I generally have to do the “whole whole / 4 intervals from the root” note math
@@SunV0lt solid
Can the Patreon lessons be cast to my tv like the CZcams vids
Yes it says you can cadt to your TV from android and iOS devices according to their help page. You can sign up for 7 days for free to try it out and see if it works for you.
please do minor triads!
I will put minor triads on the list of videos to do. I don't think I've covered that yet. Thank you
Blue is your strumming like a pro book geared for acoustic only?
It's for either acoustic or electric, though more on acoustic It does use only open chords, but really the focus is on the right hand and playing. Starting with basic strum technique, arm direction, then getting more interesting rhythms, longer patterns, adding hammer on's to those strums, walks, and the like.
yeah livestream.
Noted thank you! Now I have to figure out HOW to livestream...
I need a fat sounding humbucker in my strat!!
It's worth it, but at the same time, David Gilmour didn't need the humbucker :)
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver …I am no David Gilmore. But good point and great lessons. Thanks!
I don't mind ypu wanting to make money but we just wanna learn. I am sick of patrion as there's an endless amount of it. Sorry this vent fell on you. It used to be we came to learn. Now it's just a ton of tid bits. Good luck. You're good
I plan to have videos of varying length and detail. It's surprising what does well on CZcams and what does not. It's not what you would think! Besides that, musicians hear this kind of complaint all the time. A standard answer is: Would you ask a chef to cook for free? You just wanna eat, right? We all have to make a living. You probably have a job. Do you do it for free? If we couldn't make a living doing guitar lessons, none of these videos would be here. There might be some who would teach for free but likely the quality of instruction would be low. The best teachers are the ones who have had the time to develop their craft and their teaching skills. How do they get good at that? By having the time to get good at teaching... gaining experience as a paid teacher. I've been doing this a long time. I'm glad you're learning from the videos, and there will be many more to come. Some long, some short. But I can't do them for free. I have bills to pay and loved ones to take care of.
shame the other stuff is on patreon 😒
is it in your book?
The books do cover triads but it's not the focus of the books. Book 1 in minor pentatonic, connecting it to chords, triads, targeting chord tones, etc. Book 2 starts with similar things but all with Major Pentatonic and expands from there, including more on combining scales and chords.
forget altering your lesson format, imho. These - group- question and answer things just end up being a waste of time , often with , quite frankly, stupid questions from the audience. You lose FOCUS and consistent emphasis of the core material that is so important to getting the lesson down. I cant tell you how many u tube seminars I have gone to , and found them taken up by - morons - who stole my and the instructors time asking silly and or irrelevant questions. YOU are the teacher, laser like focus is requisite.
But... No, no, NO! 6:14
That "easyshape A" is A Major pentatonic, NOT A minor! You can't play the same licks from minor P in the Major P shape. They just don't sound right!
Sorry, i couldn't watch after that, you just totally lost me.
I usually love your videos, this one lost me close to the beginning.
You can play the same licks in Minor Penta as Major Penta, but they resolve differently. So we need to memorize the roots, among other intervals, of each so that we can use or alter licks we have for both. Hope that helps.
Blue is the Best!
Thank you!!
