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 . . . :)
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?
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.
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.
Brian, I don't understand how on earth you don't have a million subscribers. Clearly you are one of the best TH-cam 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 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.
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! ! ! ! ! ! !
For years I would hear a song on the radio almost every week and it would be my goal to find it on TH-cam, 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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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!
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!!!
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'
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.
After reading some of the other comments below, it stands out that others who teach as well, openly admit to having appropriated your some of your explanations in their teaching as well. We’re blessed to have access to your content.
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.
This is a brilliant lesson. About 50 lightbulb moments for me on this one, and since signing up to Active Melody I learned more from you in a week than I have in the last 6 months scouring TH-cam for videos. Thanks
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
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!
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
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
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!
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.
@OldDawg-mc3rdy love your comment I'm 62yrs Young started playing @7years old no internet no one to teach me just listened to an old radiogram that played mostly songs of the 50s and 60s, I learnt to play all that stuff by ear till finally I was able to get confident and skilled enough to start playing talent quests at school and our local area when I was 12 yrs old. When I turned 20 I started gigging professionally for the next 30+ years and still play today for my own enjoyment, the thing with guitar is you never stop learning, if you are truly passionate about guitar then you appreciate revisiting stuff when someone else gives a different perspective on the same 'ol stuff and reignites the passion. I'm here in this channel because I became lazy and forgot my humble guitar roots I owe my knowledge to triads and arpeggio and by extention rudiments and fundaments, thanks Active Melody cheers 👍💕
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
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 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.
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
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!
This is the best video for average guys who know some, but missing a few pieces. Moves quickly, covers a lot of basics. Cheers...!! Uncle Papa Floody Watters
I’m 68 and just started playing guitar when I retired I have had Will surgeries on my hands and wrists. I am unable to play Barchords. Playing triads are absolutely essential to my playing enjoyment thank you very much
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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!
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)!
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.
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..
That was so good. I was about to check myself in for guitar lessons after playing for 15 years just to get a few extra bits of knowledge on playing lead, but no need now, just gotta put together the shapes of chords I already use and slide around on em. Cheers
You'd be doing all the wonderful content creators/instructors on TH-cam a disservice by paying for lessons... So much knowledge by so many great teachers, all for free
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. 🔅
Really great delivery of into! I have often played with these ideas, just deconstructing parts of a, e, d, (even c & g) forms to play partial chords, (or triads). Thanks for laying it all out there in such a clear presentation. When I was a kid picking through Zeppelin, and Dylan, and Willie (he was hardest for me with all his chromatic walks, jazz chords, and pulling chords or partials from every nook and cranny of the key),... I had no idea what those things were. Many years, never ending journey. And I have a go to band here in Austin over 30 years, Two Hoots and a Holler. I remember thinking most times I'd go to see a show and dance, ... "That guy ,(Rick Broussard,) sure does stay on the top 3 strings alot..? But it all sounds great and full" Now I get it 😉 He would also use the bass strings for very bold slides and bends creating a very signature sound. Hard rocking two stepping music with Stray Cats, CLASH, Roy Orbison influences. Check em out , I'm sure you would enjoy it. (Certainly, there is an early/current difference. You'll hear it, but ALL great stuff. Thanks again!
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.
This pulled a lot together for me, thank you. I find that playing at .75 speed with liberal use of the back button is more my speed. Now if I just had a memorize faster button...
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.
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.

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 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.
I think triads is the most valuable underrated guitar concept
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

QUESTION!! what were you playing in 30 years!! triads are in everything!!!
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.

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.
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.
the chord progression with those voicings immediately brought all those late '50's and early '60's songs to mind.. thanks

I would suggest putting up on the screen what notes you're playing in the tab formations because many people do not learn by listening but by seeing

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!!!!!
Brian is brilliant. His way of explaining these seemingly complex concepts is amazing. Thanks!
I wasn't expecting to learn anything new, but the bit about the 6th and 9th chords was a lightbulb moment!

Thank you.
Great lesson.
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.
That is a tremendously useful 25 minutes of any guitarist's time 😊

Excellent. I've seen lots of lessons on triads, 3rds and 6ths but this is one of the best.
Brian thank you so much, as a beginner in his late years brilliantly walked through.
Very cool lesson. I love triads! One of the secrets to unlocking the fretboard for sure.

Amazingly simple, effective and useful introduction to triads on guitar!
Useful drill looks good.Sometimes i bump into other things useful or other ideas when i do this sort of thing.Great teacher.

This is the best lesson on lead guitar for intemediate guitar players out there.
Best triad lesson on TH-cam.
I don't know why but triads intimidate me so much! Great lesson! Thanks so much,Brian!
I’ve been playing for fifty years and still learn from this guy 😎🤟🏼

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.

Really great delivery of into! I have often played with these ideas, just deconstructing parts of a, e, d, (even c & g) forms to play partial chords, (or triads). Thanks for laying it all out there in such a clear presentation. When I was a kid picking through Zeppelin, and Dylan, and Willie (he was hardest for me with all his chromatic walks, jazz chords, and pulling chords or partials from every nook and cranny of the key),... I had no idea what those things were. Many years, never ending journey. And I have a go to band here in Austin over 30 years, Two Hoots and a Holler. I remember thinking most times I'd go to see a show and dance, ... "That guy ,(Rick Broussard,) sure does stay on the top 3 strings alot..? But it all sounds great and full" Now I get it 😉 He would also use the bass strings for very bold slides and bends creating a very signature sound. Hard rocking two stepping music with Stray Cats, CLASH, Roy Orbison influences. Check em out , I'm sure you would enjoy it. (Certainly, there is an early/current difference. You'll hear it, but ALL great stuff. Thanks again!
Too Hoots is a great band. Ricky rocks and is a good songwriter.
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.
This pulled a lot together for me, thank you. I find that playing at .75 speed with liberal use of the back button is more my speed. Now if I just had a memorize faster button...
You are a great teacher. Appreciate know all the minor triad positions derived from the major.
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.
