I stumbled on this video & yes it is very good!!! 40 odd years ago (well 43 years but who's counting?) I saw Larry Carlton playing live & he was using triads too add umph & harmony too Smiles & Smiles Too Go. I went too my guitar at the end of this gig & it was a huge moment for me!!!!! Frank Gambale had just done Modes No More Mystery (he also had a good head of hair & no belly either!!) which opened many doors, but I couldn't make it click until seeing Larry Carlton using Triads!!!! I could drone a pedal tone (I used a keyboard too do this (Yamaha DX7 remember those!!!?) & then the world opened up & I was able too do more than any of my guitar friends & it also gave me extra powers too take many tunes & give them a third dimension as it were (The Shadows The Rise & Fall Of Flingle Bunt is a great tune for this!!!!!) & nobody else was doing it!!!!!!! Your lesson here is very good & you will have given millions of people what Larry Carlton gave me!!!!!!! Thanx!!!!
Ryan has a impressive on line shop which covers a wide range of guitar material ranging from video courses including “triads inside and out” and E Books such as “ CAGED clarity”These courses are my foundation to understanding guitar 🎸 and are worthy of further investigation.
I must of replayed the first 4 minutes of this video for well over an hour, purely to nail the first bit properly. Just wanted to let you know how brilliant this Triad exercise is. the neck is finally starting to open up for me :D looking forward to the rest of the vid. subbed!
hey, same! Just wanted to let you know Im with ya. after many years today I wanna finally crack the rut and step out of the box and learn the new stuff!!!! Cheers
For some reason this vid connected so many things for me, CAGED, Moving the root to get Maj7 and Dom7…the 3rd and 5th for Dim. and Aug. Seriously a keystone vid right here with the proper pre-reqs
Thank you I think this will help me. I have understood what a triad is since I was in high school in piano class. I am now 34, and trying to figure out how to memorize them on a fretboard. Specifically, I am trying to memorize each interval of each of the inversions on every string set. I know the shapes, but I can't pick out the intervals. It results in me playing the wrong inversions sometimes, because I have just memorized the shapes and not learned how to apply them correctly. Ultimately, I am trying to learn to think in intervals altogether, but I want to start with wrapping my head around triads, then arpeggios. I am pretty comfortable with scales, but I want to be able to visualize the fretboard from multiple angles. I really think learning intervals will help me connect everything together.
These are some seriously thought out and informative lessons my man thanks so much !! If you ever get a chance will you check out guy Clarke and verlon Thompson s the guitar!! It’s the solo I’m having trouble with the rest of the song is simple there’s not much information online about it cheers my friend take care Brian Ireland 🇮🇪🎸🎸
Wow. I only started a couple weeks ago to really learn my fretboard, and so was doing major triads using the circle of fifths on the string sets. I knew I had to add in scales next, and then minor, diminished and augmented. Merci beaucoup for this lesson. Two suggestions, it would be nice to learn the circle of fifths progression in each key; and to also learn the rule of the Octave. I always wished I had black keys on my ukulele (tenor and baritone) but also, it isn't possible. So I did the next best thing. I took small postit notes and put strings on my piano. This helped me learn inversions.
I respect that opinion but I like them that way. I hate when instructors put the diagram in the same orientation as the teacher. Because I am playing it the opposite way, my guitar neck is to my left, so the diagram is the same.
Exactly what @frankm2588 said. It's orientated that way so it matches what you see as you look across the fretboard (assuming you're right-handed that is).
yeah guys that is one of the key features in impro. To visualise chord shapes all over the fretboard and know how to split them, doing slide ups to some triade is nice and of course u will know where you can play the notes if you want to improvise to some music amd that is linked to CAGED. I would prefer to learn this concept before the CAGED sys. Im currently mastering it too:) P.S. Im just curious why you start with Cmajor chord on string set 1 in your PDF and than you start with F#major chord in string set 2... could be confusing for someone who just started. But anyways thank you for your effort!
Well done. I appreciate that you took the basic triad shape, which there’s plenty of lessons on already, and you add to that the minor and augmented. Small addition with giant benefit. Liked n subd. Graphics were also a great help. I only wish the graphic had descending string sizes so I don’t have to first get that info sorted out in my head and hands lol up is down and down is up
Excellent as always - one or two comments. I bet you will agree no one really cares about diminished or augmented. I realize it’s valid triads and you want the full info in the lesson. Joe pass said to me there are only three kinds of chords. Maj min and 7th. I realize a 7 th has a maj triad with flat 7. But I wonder if it would be worth your thinking about doing a video about those three only, somehow giving a 7th ‘triad’ of 1 3 flat7. Or something I dunno. Just an idea. You are the premier guitar instructor on TH-cam.
I like to listen to and *attempt* to play some jazz stuff, diminished and minor7flat5 is all over the place in jazz. Haven't used too much augmented but I'm very appreciative that those were covered as lots tend to have that same mindset and exclude them....
@@seaneverett7576 joe pass was the great jazz guitarist of all time. If he didn’t need them ……. Btw I’m not telling Ry he shouldn’t have had them in this video. I’m saying consider doing another one with maj min dom only. I hope that will be ok for you that I ask Ry to consider this and make this request. I have actually taken a lesson from him, and purchased his courses. I know it’s pretty nervy of me to think he might want to know what his paying customers are thinking, but call me a rebel
I’m sorry if this is too stupid to ask, but when I move to string set two with exercise one it is definitely not the same pattern. Please help my idiocy.
I wish that he would tell you why they're useful and how to find these shapes and what key they're in easily without knowing each note name. Are there landmarks for the shapes to tell you what chord you're playing?
First up, they give you many different ways to play chords and progressions (for better rhythm parts or second guitar parts). Then they help with your lead playing, allowing you to locate the ‘chord tones’ or sweet notes to make you sound like you know exactly what you’re doing when improvising. Definitely worth putting into your practice time 🙏🏻
If you were a jazz focussed channel, I could see the use in teaching aug and dim triads, but wouldn't it be more useful showing 7th triads first ? - they'll come up 100 times more frequently in pop, rock, folk etc than aug & dim. (really like your drone track vids, very useful)
Don't give up. It really is dirt simple. Spend a few hours reviewing the basics of music theory, chord construction, intervals. Tons of great sources online. Then repeat as necessary to get it engrained so you can recite a harmonization within the key of C major as shown on the video.
@@terrius1432 No i mean the distances between the frets....so from whichever note you are fretting you have to know for example how many frets distance is a major third or a perfect fifth on the same strings on different strings etc etc etc...sure knowing the notes on the fretboard is a must too but lets just say you have to at least know all the natural notes(no sharps of flats) and go from there....
@terrius1432 No, basically just where you can put your fingers on the neck and it'll always work because you know the intervals work together. Easier to remember than all the notes, especially because after a while you'll be able to remember the notes because of the intervals.
@@kagenotatsumaki You have to at least know where all the natural notes lie on the fretboard though...cause lets say you play the B minor 7 th apreggio or the B dorian or the B harmonic minor....you are right the intervals you have already learned ll work BUT if you cant instantly identify all the Bs in the neck instantly you dont have your starting point and if you are improvising that wont do....in another case if you are in the b minor and someone calls you to play the fourth then the interval is way faster than for you to calculate what is the fourth degree of the b minor scale(which is E) cause you see it physically and can construct the chord almost instantly even without knowing the note name.... So you may not need to identify ALL the seven notes of the scale you are playing by name but you still have to identify the root....so in essence you need to know your note locations at least till the 12th fret(they then repeat like a clock so you dont need to learn the other half anyway).
I orientate it that way so it's what you see as you look across the fretboard. I'm assuming though that you're right-handed. It's the standard approach for horizontal fretboards.
I get it but...this is the way all guitar fretboard diagrams are drawn. It is meant to be what you see when you look down at your guitar in your lap. If anything, the video perspective should be switched to match the diagram
1. Learn the intervals. 2. Learn the fretboard on the dots. Dots = street signs on fretboard. 3. Learn two chord switches: I to V ii to IV vi to IV The mind learns from context.

Always enjoy your videos. Just had to say your look reminds me of the main bad guy in far cry 5 😂

Very good teaching
These are great exercises, thanks. It might be easier or less confusing if the chart was in the same orientation as the videos below it.

Love your channel Ry. You have a new sub. Haven't seen triads explained with such clarity. Great job.
Awesome, thank you!
ecellent thank you
You are welcome!
Have you made a lesson on triad for all string set ?
Yes. Check out my channel page 🙏🏻
Sounds like Mick Goodrick? Good exercises!
That’s where I learned it!

Ryan, I am really working hard to have enough money to buy me most of your excellent books/lessons. 😢 I can wait😔
I’ll share as much as I can here 🙏🏻
Killer!
Sounds great! But how to play rock or metal with this triads???
There are LOADS of examples
wow
Love the lessons - always great content at a good pace. Not loving the pop-up word graphics, though. Just my old-man two cents.
Notes, thanks. Just experimenting with engagement and keeping things moving 🙏🏻
wish the top tab was reversed so it fits how your fingers look, you have it mirrored?
I have that Beatles poster💕 but a little different
Thanks very solid exercice.
You're welcome!
Triads / M. Goodrick says hello ;)...
I’m sorry if this is too stupid to ask, but when I move to string set two with exercise one it is definitely not the same pattern. Please help my idiocy.
I wish that he would tell you why they're useful and how to find these shapes and what key they're in easily without knowing each note name. Are there landmarks for the shapes to tell you what chord you're playing?
The landmarks are called frets bro
whats the goal on triads? is this to know how to arpeggiate chords through the fretboard? thanks im noob on theory lol

Then they help with your lead playing, allowing you to locate the ‘chord tones’ or sweet notes to make you sound like you know exactly what you’re doing when improvising.

the only thing i confuse is that diminished and augmented were they came from 😅
I got lost on the second part of the harmonized scale chords....can anyone help ?

Very Tidy lesson ☝️
How do you mute the other strings ?
Little tipp: The argumented position for each string set is the same in every inversion.
Exactly right!
Is the string section 2 and string section 3 the exact same shaped just on obviously the different strings?
String Set 3 and 4 have the same shapes. Sets 1 2 and 3 are all different.
@@Rynaylorguitarah ok. Thanks for the reply do you have a video for the other sections? Or are we just to figure it out using the notes of each chord?
@@theclinkmusic I have more triad lessons on my channel (and a new course in the works!)
@@Rynaylorguitar ok thanks a lot
After watching 3 times still totally confused ! And I’m and I’ve playing 10 years !!

What do the numbers represent?

I must be an idiot, I don t get it but thanks for making me realize I should take lessons
Keep at it. You'll get there!
Wanna master everything on the fretboard?Learn your intervals....
Goes without saying. That can be quite a daunting prospect though, so learning things like triad forms are a good entry point 🙏🏻
You mean all the notes on the fretboard?
@@terrius1432 No i mean the distances between the frets....so from whichever note you are fretting you have to know for example how many frets distance is a major third or a perfect fifth on the same strings on different strings etc etc etc...sure knowing the notes on the fretboard is a must too but lets just say you have to at least know all the natural notes(no sharps of flats) and go from there....

The taste is good though.
Actually, you show more than many.
why would you have a fret board that is reversed from you? its confusing for beginners trying to flip it in their minds
I orientate it that way so it's what you see as you look across the fretboard. I'm assuming though that you're right-handed. It's the standard approach for horizontal fretboards.
I get it but...this is the way all guitar fretboard diagrams are drawn. It is meant to be what you see when you look down at your guitar in your lap. If anything, the video perspective should be switched to match the diagram

3. Learn two chord switches:
I to V
ii to IV
vi to IV
The mind learns from context.
nyimak
This would be infinitely easier if you had the picture the other way round to match with the guitar
As I said to other viewers it’s done this way so it matches what you see on the guitar. It’s the standard approach.
Wonderful. But it's way too fast
Sorry for that, at least you can watch it as many times as you need.
Man…. Used to be, drop the needle in the groove… these days the challenge having to slow down the video. AWESOME lesson. Subscribed. 👍🎸
8:09 .wtf? 😅
So many click farmer comments lol
When you said "stick to the end, I've got a free gift for you" - that's when I turned it off. JUST MAKE A VIDEO.
Noted, thanks
commercial is way too long....
Sorry
Sorry
So, now thwres hundreds of these videos. Patrion, patrion, partion...... bleh. You guys know we're sick of it. Caged!
Far too fast. And no, I won't pause after every single one.
I prefer this. I want the information. Boom, done. The practicing I'll have to do own my own anyway
Can you do it faster please? You are too slow!
