Learning triads in every position years ago opened up everything for me. This really is the bedrock of improving your improvisation chops. From there, it’s just about learning how to turn the lines you build around those triads into singable melodies. If you’re a beginner to medium level player, you should watch this lesson a thousand times until you have internalized all of it. You’ll be glad you did 🤘🏼😎
I agree, and their inversions across all strings really open up the fretboard. I found just the 3 notes really help to create some space, they aren't so full sounding, and let another guitarist fill in those spaces. Also, the notes on the fretboard are super important. Hope you're well my fellow picker! Nik
Just today I saw a recent Corey Congellio video about triads, specifically using a minor, major, minor triad on the A minor chord in that example. 12 bar blues, the same thing: minor, major, minor triads over every chord and mix it up with some blues and pentatonic as call and response. Triads are very underestimated, or at least have been be me.
Brett, It never ceases to amaze me how clean and steady and in the pocket your rhythm playing is when you accompany your very special guests. As for Jack's playing here - so tasty, rhythmic and melodic. STELLAR. I will be really studying this.
I found Jack Ruch a few weeks ago and signed up to his Patreon. I love that he is so laid back, it’s like he can’t understand why we don’t all get it straight away and why we can’t see the fretboard like him. But he’ll go through it anyway, just for us. I love his sound and his voice tone is so reassuring and confident that one day I’ll get it…
Fan from the UK Brett, the quality level increase since I started watching is insane! Your man was such a high level musician he forgot how it can be difficult for anyone to not be able to pick out the triads and chord tones throughout a progression 😎💪 thanks for slowing him down a bit and keep up with the vids and top drawer guests! 👍
@@goswo his guitar is a Danocaster Single Cut and that specific guitar has Budz 2.0 pickups. (I sifted through Jack’s IG until I saw a post where he responded to a comment saying it was the Budz 2.0’s)
I find Jack Ruch"s playing always very unpredictable. He almost never goes where your ear says he will from listening to music for years. Always fresh and suprising. And he's doing that with memorized shapes and triads. Fascinating. (Guthrie Trapp is another cat with this talent. )
Thank you for this video! I feel like this helped me have a breakthrough moment and connect some dots! Awesome content and I thoroughly enjoy both of your channels!
Awesome ! I have been looking at triads over the last few months, and man this video has really inspired me to go get it Brett just love it, more power!
thank you Brett! you always show what your GUEST has to offer then put in in the spotlight and you spell it out to your viewers. Much appreciated. Jack, you've also stripped away your playing so all that is left is MUSIC! Thank you Jack! now interested very much to check out this course after watching you both.
It is invaluable to learn all the triads and it will take your playing ahead heaps but you will probably not sound like Jack Ruch, he really is a tasty guitar player.
I want to play like Jack Ruch! Jack's thoughtful approach and clear communication makes music theory practical and makes me feel like I might be able to create some music in the style I like. Nice Jack!
great lesson, thanks a lot guys. Brett I like how you always bring it back to basics, “you’re playing the c chords right?” sometimes lessons dont do that and you get lost. I appreciate that you keep it focused on the core basic also.
These videos are gold! Keep them coming Brett. Btw. Thanks to you I have /13 RSA23 and AMW39. Absolutely amazing. Both of them. Fred makes some killer amps.
Thanks Brett..excellent lesson! Sometimes it’s all right in front of us, right?! Jack’s tele did sound really good. Couldn’t quite read label on headstock???
jack is an amazing guitar player and great educator, i'm on his PATREON and always learning something new. These types of courses are great because you really learn the guitar and since they are really applied, this is very difficult, they are not licks to memorize and then forget. But There is only one problem, it is only in one language: English, there is no automatic translation simultaneously or subtitles. The same thing happens with other websites like Corey Congilio's, very good content but only in English. You should see if you can solve this because you would surely have more sales. all the best
Bret and Jack, beautiful lesson; love it! Could I ask you, the Tele... Jack is playing... what is it? I know it is a Fender, and is it what model? Do you know what pickups on it? Also, what are the effects you and him are using? Thanks Brother!
Awesome approach. Super useful for beginners to demystify the 🎸. There's an old book called Chord Connections that lays this out very nicely. I think it is or was vetted by the National Guitar Workshop or something. I lent it in good faith and lost it forever.
HOLY..... I am one of the ones you speak of ... who would be super stoked to be able to do this! I am trying to learn the triads but am not there yet. Is there a functional print reference that can be used to look at for daily practice? *Older (much older) player here and it takes quite a while to learn what those much younger grab quickly. {just bought the course so fingers crossed there are references in that to help at the granular level for the old mind}
Oh man..that Tele! Ever since I saw Robben Ford with one of these beauties (with the vintage white body/rosewood finger board) I've wanted one. Hard to find outside of the Custom Shop.

Maybe two thousand times!
Absolutely agree. With this and the latest Ariel Posen lesson the noodling around the fretboard gets more intentional. Highly recommend!

Triads are very underestimated, or at least have been be me.
This is the way to escape the pentatonic rut.
Jack Ruch’s playing is so buttery smooth and has a very rich, bluesy feel. One of the best guitarist today.
For sure!
One of my favorite parts of these videos is Brett patiently and kindly coaxing explanations out of these great players.
Thanks Curt!
This Jack dude seems like some sort of melodic wizard to me. Impossible for the common man?
Brett is absolutely amazing at coaching his guests to make it understandable and structured!
Many thanks to both of you for this entertaining and educational music lessons, triads are the way forward.
Hey Brett, you did a masterful job of getting Jack to explain--and demonstrate-his use of building on triads. Thanks to you both!
Brett, It never ceases to amaze me how clean and steady and in the pocket your rhythm playing is when you accompany your very special guests. As for Jack's playing here - so tasty, rhythmic and melodic. STELLAR. I will be really studying this.
Thanks! Got to stay on my toes around these guys lol! Jack is the man. Some of the best phrasing out there. Thanks for watching!
I know right
Hear, hear! Brett, the groove is so tight ! You and Jack are a dynamic duo!
I found Jack Ruch a few weeks ago and signed up to his Patreon.

Jack Ruch is damned immediate in an harmonic progression. He gives sweetness, calm and above all the desire to listen to him.
Yep agreed totally
The Bob Ross of the blues 🔥
Haha!
Great playing and amazing tips, boys. Thx so much. Jack, your dynamic light touch and buttery transitions are inspirational.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Thanks for watching! Glad you are liking the videos!
Simplistic bliss and I'm super happy, thank you. You guys show the way well together.
Thanks for checking it out!
not only triads in this lesson, but listen to the DYNAMICS of each note
For sure!
Indeed another great lesson. The tone he’s getting out of that tele neck pickup is amazing.
Yep that Tele amp combo tone was ridiculous!
Brett, do you know what neck pu he uses? It sounds great
@@goswo his guitar is a Danocaster Single Cut and that specific guitar has Budz 2.0 pickups. (I sifted through Jack’s IG until I saw a post where he responded to a comment saying it was the Budz 2.0’s)
Thank you Jack for sharing some of your secrets. You are a great teacher. Keep on making your videos we appreciate it.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Jack is the man! More coming soon!
Fabulous. Your right, I'd be more than happy to be able to play like that. Dream. Great playing all round
Thanks for checking it out!
Just got his course and am loving it! ... Thanks Jack and thanks Papa!
Thanks so much for the support!
So glad you had Jack on. Love that guy!
Thanks for watching! More Jack next week!
Killer jam at the opening..so goooood
Glad you liked it!
Great lesson! I need to learn my triads and connect them to scales and modes.
Everyone does! Why not if it really helps in the end.
@@BrettPapa Yes, I must check out your courses, see if you've got something that will help me not to do it on my own.
Beautiful touch on the instrument with dynamics and taste. Lovely stuff
Thanks for checking it out Nick!
Timing is impeccable... sounds great!
Thanks for checking it out Scott!
Thanks to you Brett I discovered Jack! Thanks for having such great guests and content!
Sure thing! More Jack coming soon!
Both Jack Ruch and Kirk Fletcher have really mastered this rhythm style and both are good examples to learn from.
For sure!
Another amazing lesson! Thank you Greg for asking the questions
Sure thing! My name is Brett though haha!
My apologies🤦🏿♂️
Jack Ruch is an excellent player and teacher !
Agreed!
You think so? Thanks for clearing that up. We were not sure.

Brett adding a little pressure to Jack. Great stuff.
Thanks for checking it out!

Yep very true about both of them.
I think they call that talent...which I cleary do not have.
Brett all your videos are great .. 🙌 thanks for all the valuable lessons..

Really glad I watched this one. I'll be working on learning more about triads. Nicely done.
Thanks for checking it out!
So pleasant to the ears.
Yeah Jack had that effect on people!
Incredible tone!
What a great session! Loved everything about it
Thanks for checking it out!
It is invaluable to learn all the triads and it will take your playing ahead heaps but you will probably not sound like Jack Ruch, he really is a tasty guitar player.
He works a lot on his phrasing!
i've been waiting a year or two now for Jack to do a course. Sold!
We have a couple of them already at brettpapa.com. One more on the the way soon!
Love each of your approaches to guitar. That neck pickup sounds incredible-any chance you could share what it is?
Cheers to both!
I think they are called Budz Pickups
thank you Brett! you make the world of music better!
Sure thing!
Jack Ruch is so good because he never plays too many notes. He just makes every note count.
100% agreed!
I want to play like Jack Ruch! Jack's thoughtful approach and clear communication makes music theory practical and makes me feel like I might be able to create some music in the style I like. Nice Jack!
Me too ...;-)
Me too!
Great lesson , Jack is cool , you are cool , I try to be cool
Haha thanks!
You are not cool. Me either but that's ok! th-cam.com/video/WzY2pWrXB_0/w-d-xo.html

Thanks! Got to keep it real haha!
These videos are gold! Keep them coming Brett. Btw. Thanks to you I have /13 RSA23 and AMW39. Absolutely amazing. Both of them. Fred makes some killer amps.

Throw your hands in the air if you a triad player
Thank ya!
So classy! Love it
Thanks for checking it out!
at 9:50 fully agreed~
These two are at a level that most of us scrubs can only dream of ever achieving. No flash , no super shred, but in some ways just so much better.
Thanks!
The goods right there! Nice Lesson guys.
Glad you liked it Adam!
So so so Good. What Pickups are in his Telly? Fantastic sounding neck pickup Sound.
Ask him on Insta he told me once but I can't remember what they were. Might have answered it in the comments somewhere already.
It really does not matter.
second course I bought from you. love his style !
Thanks for the support!

Working on the subtitles. Glad you like the vids and thanks for the support!
Super fun! Brilliant
Thanks for watching!
Inspiring. Thanks!
Sure thing!
That's some great tone
Thanks! The Divided by 13 CJ11 and RSA23 are fantastic amps!
Great stuff and amazing tones 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! Those Divided by 13's are fantastic amps!
New Brett and Jack album when?
Thanks, y'all! I kinda got lost in just listening to y'all play. It looks so simple...
Be good to you!
Haha! that would be fun!
PAPA? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Love your content!

Lovely tone
Glad you liked it! Must of it is just plugging into the amps.
Another killer lesson, I just bought the course.
Awesome Drew! Thanks for the support!
Fantastic!!!
Thanks!

It is a Danocaster Tele. Not quite sure what pups are in there.
Loved it--awesome
Sweet! Thanks for checking it out!

Jack is my Master Guitar Coach. Just havent told him, well, or asked him :-)
He is awesome!
life changing!
Great video
Thanks for checking it out!
Brett & Jack are such good teachers! What note should you target on sus chords that do not have a third, such as a Gsus4 or an Fsus2?
Thanks!
Awesome hendrix tricks!
Yeah these are like magic for that!
Damn that Tele neck pup is killer!
Yeah that guitar is fantastic
Better than a smoke really cool dude.
Thanks for watching!
Great lesson! For the algo brother💪
Thanks for watching!
very nice!
Thanks!
Might be the best tele neck pickup tone I’ve ever heard. Lord please what was the gear?
Budz Pickups I believe. He is plugged into a Divided by 13 CJ11 and I believe he was playing through a Dualist pedal by Kingtone.
Oh man..that Tele! Ever since I saw Robben Ford with one of these beauties (with the vintage white body/rosewood finger board) I've wanted one. Hard to find outside of the Custom Shop.
His is a danocaster. Nash and Senn guitars are fantastic options too that are much cheaper than custom shops.
