I've been playing guitar for 15 years, and honestly seeing this one lesson about five years back completely changed the way I played guitar! And for the better, I might add. Thank you so much.
One day i clicked on a similar link and i saw a comment saying how the full course about triads helped so much. I never promote anyone on TH-cam but i'd like to make it also public : the magic of triads is AMAZING! It doesn't come cheap but if, like me, you are tired of the goddam pentatonic/minor/major/all kinds of shapes improv and your stuck in a rut for years trying to sound more melodic & musical, his course is worth the money. I bought many methods in the past and i never really got there, Yaakov made it so simple and so effective it's just impressive. I'm no longer using scales ( well...not as much) and i can finally start to sound like i hear in my head. THANK YOU YAAKOV!
This is easily one of the simplest and most useful triad tutorial I have seen. Its very easy to overcomplicate jazz improvisation. Thanks for showing me how simple it can be.
I had the same poblems when learning improv, it always seemed to me a focus on technical playing, but even my teachers didn’t sound musical. Simple is better in many ways. Also his first lesson was right hand picking, which is very important and usually not taught at all. His lessons are aewsome!
The cool about Yaakov's lessons is that he teaches concept and I apply this concept to blues and it works so well. "Give a man a fish and he will eat for one day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a life time". Great lessons from a good teacher, thank you Yaakov.
The triads course is amazing to learn how to play melodically. Add in the Arpeggios course to learn a few more “stretched out” shapes to add in some flash here and there and you’ve got everything you need to solo like a pro. Yaakov is a great great teacher.
Thanks, the lesson was helpful for me! I do know triads for years now, but I felt stuck with all the functions of optional tones (#9,11,13 etc.), scales and theory. It always seemed overly intellectual, like a computer, to learn all the theory-stuff. But only playing by heart doesn´t work at a certain point anymore. The Magic of Traids you showed, seems like something in between these both ways to play guitar. Good Work!
You show me what i have been looking for for so looong!!! What a fantastic guy you are and know how you got. Thanks so very much for free great lesson. Im honored.
You can extend chromatic approach to whole notes and thirds etc, and you can do it with bends and double stops as well. I call this painting around the chords, adding color and texture.
Just can't thank you enough... this is exactly the way I've learnt guitar and look forward to keep learning. I'm always interested in understanding the fundamentals rather than learning famous licks and end up like every other guitarist around the corner. Thank you so much. Now I can build upon alot of what I got from you. Many thanks again. And you play wonderful!
I really like this triad idea. I have been using triads but not the way you use them. It just clicked with me when you pointed it out how you could embellish the triad notes .It just made a lot of sense. Thankyou and I am subscribed !
Nice to see such a straightforward lesson. As you mention, it's not just applicable to Gypsy Jazz, you can hear these approach tones of 1/2 step below and a diatonic step above being used in swing, bebop, and really it can be used in almost any setting. I really appreciate your teaching style... fantastic! :0)
I find it funny how I was learning scales all different arrpegios licks runs etc. but in the end all I needed was a remainder to keep it simple and have fun, because that's what gypsy jazz is about. Thank you very much good man for this lesson! God bless you. :D
Your lesson and very clear explanation have lead to pathway of learning and practice which has evaded many people. Thank you for helping me by pointing to the direction and method which will definitely improve my guitar playing. Many thanks Brian Tyhy
Wonderful lesson. Thank you! A simple concept with great depth and beauty. Gypsy jazz has so many personalities and flavors. You did a great job in sharing this with us. And that that guitar sounds splendid.
Great tip, I got your point. I just started to play Gypsy Jazz and found out that there's a lot of improvisation over chords, although of course players also use scales. Anyway, memorizing these inversions certainly is a good way to jump to improvisation. I just figured out an exercise for me, that is playing all three inversions and moving around using circle of fifths, than moving back in fourths. Thanks for sharing.
00:21 refreshing how even yaakov doesn't 'instantly' hit the chord correctly first time. not to take anything away from him...just encouraging that despite our efforts to perceive others as better (or even perfect!) that even the greats are in the same boat as us sometimes!
Really, really excellent, Yaakov. I like the very most part of your lessons ! très enrichissant, vraiment ! ( je vois plus comment on dit enrichissant en Angliche 😂 )

One of the best, most concise lesson I've ever seen.
Totally agree. Watching this video, I feel like I've had an epiphany!
@@hasanmir and me!
Bob Parsons, Artist can’t agree more
Exactly

one of the best teachers anywhere online
This is most definitely a ‘lightbulb’ video… it’s given me a lot of ideas that might just make some sense!

One of the best guitar teachers on TH-cam. And I have watched many, many teachers.

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for one day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a life time".
Great lessons from a good teacher, thank you Yaakov.
Give a man a guitar and he'll knock out Cream riffs for a lifetime. In-between playing Hendrix licks
Very good and useful lesson for those of us who try desperetly to understand gypsy jazz improvisation! Thank you, Yakov !
You are welcome! you can apply this concept to any jazz improvisation you would like. as well!
Really mindblowing. The longer I play the more I realize how easy (and paradoxically difficult) it is to keep it simple.
You are magic just like the triads! Thank you Sir!
WOW! this man's got the living breath of music. He makes it look easy. God bless 'em for sharing.
I love the sound of that guitar so much!
Yakov...........fabulous player..........excellent lesson !!

Explains so much in so little time, thank you! I've always wanted to learn how to use triads like this, but never knew where to start until now.
Any video lesson that makes me want to grab my guitar *right now*...well that is simply GREAT TEACHING!! Brilliant.
You show me what i have been looking for for so looong!!! What a fantastic guy you are and know how you got. Thanks so very much for free great lesson. Im honored.
