wow, you have the best channel of all youtube. you're helping me become a better guitar player, providing me with happiness, and therefore, a better human being!
I'm an advanced guitar player ... this is one of the BEST guitar tutorials I have ever seen ... if not THE best!!! Thank You! p.s. I've been doing this for years but didn't realize what I was doing... it's going to sound SOOOO much better now!
These progressions in the key of E are heavenly sent in terms of color and melody. This lesson has gives me creative insight on mixing and soloing melodies harmonically. This is a lesson to be remembered for all times. Thanks so much!
I didn't know what I did on my guitar thousands of times as a teenage kid wrecked on bong hits would ever be explained 25 years later in an in depth guitar lesson😂... Yes pick through a chord and move a note... if it sounds good keep it in the memory bank then try another combo. When it gets interesting is in trying different base notes over the changed note to really state an emotion.
This is a lesson that reveals the relationship between “top set” triads to their barre chords, shows how diatonic extensions can add color to those same triads, and THEN adds harmonization. Hard to believe he did it in a few mins? I took those triads with the Oolimo app and was able to map out the voicings across the neck.
Nice, thanks! A fun inversion progression to play with is Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle". Starts with cowboy chord Dm, then each 1/2 measure you drop a fret down on that middle "B" string.
So simple! I can almost hear the accompanying lead guitar to The Eagles’ Peaceful Easy Feeling. Don Felder is sooo good at using these melodic triads. Thanks for the quick lesson.
This is somewhat similar to what I absolutely love in the song ‘Nica Libres at Dusk’ by Ben Howard. Now I know what makes that song so beautiful. Thank you!
I like doing this on pedal steel guitar out of one position, just by moving notes through the pedals and knee levers, one at a time. I also use a lot of delay and reverb to create ambience.
This is one of the most useful online lessons I've come across. I've been doing something similar in my playing for a few years but I didn't really connect the dots for "how and why" it works, which has limited me a bit. Absolutely pathetic, as it was nothing more than doubling with minor variations, using the notes in the same scale to create texture and tension. If I could go back and do anything differently, it would be learning music theory early on.
I am just learning my triads along with all the notes on the neck, so I can break out of the 'rhythm guitar player' box. This is brilliant! I can use this to help develop my improvising skills!
When I was in High school I had piano and harmony classes but I started leaning to play by ear already so 4th 5ths 7ths where Greek to me.To much trouble to get into however I remember playing these chords not all of them.Thank you for bringing some ideas to mind.
That was very helpful to see how the E chord could be played in many fret positions. It was also helpful to play the major C scale which is essentially do, ray, me, in the higher registers. Thank you.
Thank you !!!! Awesome lesson and it is great how you show it in the three inversions for the 3 note triad...some very mystical sounds and opens up a whole way of connecting sounds and voicings!!
@@chainsawkarate Not really necessary IMHO. One trick I use is to put a tuner on the headstock. When you play the triad, notice the 3 notes. The root should be in there. Chords are only 3 notes. Root, 3rd 5th (major.) Root, Flat 3rd, 5th (minor.)
@@MOAB-UT the whole point of that was so that we could see how the chord changes when you change one note. For example, moving the third up a half step changes the major chord to a sus. That would be helpful to see. But thanks for your input. Chords can also be more than 3 notes, but I'm sure you knew that.
@@chainsawkarate Gotcha and I agree. It would be helpful. Yes- I meant the main chords. I play a bit of jazz too and those chords can get complex like a C7#5#9. Ironically, I often prefer the simplest of chordal tones. Purple Rain and Prince tunes in general are an exception- sounds great but tricky chords for sure. I like playing along with backing tracks on YTbe. Most will show the changes in real time and even let you know when it is about to change which is very helpful. Again, I am a simple cat. I can play many complex tunes but find myself chillin to simple things most often. Even single chord vamps can be a lot of fun. Helps you drill down on finding the root note and chord tones in the scale. I've also learned how to play 3 scales over a Major Blues progression and how to play Major and Minor Penta over some Major progressions. All fun stuff! Have you ever heard of Jamey Arent? He has some really good videos and simple tips that have helped my playing a lot. I also dig on Zombie Guitar- Brian is a great teacher. Who do you like- what are you trying to learn? In this video, I really like how Jamey shows a super (and again, dead SIMPLE) colorful version of G, C to D. Sounds actually different and much better. Here is that video: th-cam.com/video/t7xtULjr13g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VvnNTzH23xGkUawM&t=340 I feel smarter after watching his videos! And it's free so a double bonus!
All of the lessons presented by this a guy are really thoughtful. I will say that I wish the word "trick" wasn't such a ubiquitous way to get a person's attention though. None of these lessons are "tricks", but instead theory and technique discussions and as such are great!
@@foljs5858 Fair enough. I certainly thought there was a level of trickery involved in music before I understood the theory. Humbly I submit the word "method" Cheers and thanks for the response

I'm 74 and have been playing only power chords in quarter notes for 55 years, thank you for this. I can't stop crying
This is best got dam triads video I’ve seen yet. I grok it now. Thank you!
This is An incredibly important video. When you further explained that we are adding the 7, 11, 9 extensions, wow.
Everytime I watch your chordal lessons, I get improved in my music journey. Thanks friend.
My pleasure!
wow, you have the best channel of all youtube. you're helping me become a better guitar player, providing me with happiness, and therefore, a better human being!
I sincerely appreciate that, Chad! Thank you so much :-)
stumbled across your site and I'm well impressed, I'm a self taught guitarist since i was fifteen and I am still learning stuff even now at 56 thanks
Awesome!
Thank you for giving the understanding of how the chord is a 7th, 9th and 11th. Great lesson Antoine.
Gorgeous trick. Sometimes you need a great teacher like yourself. Thank you!
Happy to help! :-)
I like to fool around with triads like this all the time… it’s fun and sometimes inspires a tune! Great lesson!
Right
I'm an advanced guitar player ... this is one of the BEST guitar tutorials I have ever seen ... if not THE best!!! Thank You!
p.s. I've been doing this for years but didn't realize what I was doing... it's going to sound SOOOO much better now!
@rinkydink. Brutal!

I dont see how it would be different to the other keys? As long as you play the same mode, the colors and melodies will be identical?
Wow, that's such a great lesson, and the little nugget of theory just brought it all together. Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Those Explosions in the Sky sounds
Nice! I also have a full 17 min. lesson on Explosions In The Sky chords, have you seen it? It's here: th-cam.com/video/HbZwlUTRhf0/w-d-xo.html
Nice harmonies. Interesting and/or pretty chords. Thanks.
This is a gem of a melodic lesson!!! Thank you mate!!! Cheers!!!
My pleasure :-)

You where cracking the code and didn't know it 😄😄😄
I did the same thing as a kid stoned out I was doing this same thing! Just didn’t know why it sounded good!
I've found that. It's good to have the knowledge at last as to why it happens and why it sounds good, thanks to great teachers on the Tube.
Bass..good comments! Aloha
Keep smoking weed
Very cool thanks for sharing 🙏

Antoine, great little triad lesson, merci! 👍🏽👍🏽
Great teacher beautiful tones
Beautifull tip so simple yet so efective. Five minutes into the video i had to pause it, record some stuff and get back to it ahah
Awesome, I love to hear that :-)
Your tone! 🙌 is so goooood :) Great video my friend
Flavorful extensions 2nd, 9th & 11th. Thanks.
Beautiful guitar. Every guitarist does this type of stuff.
You're the best teacher on youtube.
Thank you :-)
Great teaching, friend. The possibilities to make on chord work all over the neck.
Antoine! Thank you so much for this FREE course. It opened my ears and eyes forever!
My pleasure! I'm glad to read that :-)
Nice, thanks! A fun inversion progression to play with is Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle". Starts with cowboy chord Dm, then each 1/2 measure you drop a fret down on that middle "B" string.
Fantastic lesson! I'm going to get my looper out and work on this concept. Thank you!
This is a family channel.
@@DaveTaste Definitely not the Comedy channel.
So simple! I can almost hear the accompanying lead guitar to The Eagles’ Peaceful Easy Feeling. Don Felder is sooo good at using these melodic triads. Thanks for the quick lesson.
The title of this video is accurate. This is insanely beautiful.
That guitar certainly sounds insanely beautiful.
Mike Campbell ( Tom Petty & Heartbreakers) uses a similar Triad but starting in A on Last Dance for Mary Jane!
Thank you for your trick
It:s really create beautiful sound 👍🙏
I'm new, working on triads, this was helpful thanks
Awesome stuff! Gonna use this info..! Thx!
Just stumbled upon your channel. Watched 2 videos and subscribed before the second one finished playing.
Great, that gives nice colours to the music...
Very nice trick. 👍.Thanks.
This is somewhat similar to what I absolutely love in the song ‘Nica Libres at Dusk’ by Ben Howard. Now I know what makes that song so beautiful. Thank you!
Gold. Great information presented by someone who knows how to teach. Thank you!

Perfect techniques.. - with reverbs.. its would be extremely cool.. Thank you
Awesome explanation !
First ambient guitar lesson channel I've seen! Subd. Beautiful white Strat! I i used to own one.
Thanks! Welcome aboard, Joseph!

Lovely, Mate x
Wow, excellent cours Antoine!!! Merci!!!
Tout le plaisir est pour moi!
Thank you Antoine, this is super-useful!
Great stuff. You made it easy to understand. Thank you sir! Peace and Blessings!

Same to you!
Wonderful Thank you. New Sub. from Tasmania.
Welcome aboard :-)
Excelent, Thank you Antoine
My pleasure, Denis!
Great video! Only way it could have been better IMO is to have overlays of the chords as you were playing through them. Please keep them coming.
He did have diagrams?
@@MOAB-UT notation of what chords are being played. He had the shapes but not what chords they were.

Fantastic!
How do you know what triad shape to use in connection with the diatonic note you’re choosing???
