    Connect all 4 shapes of each triad together and you have an arpeggio 🤯
    Connecting/seeing Triads and arpeggios unlocked the fretboard for me big time. Great lesson, as usual. Thank you.

    I'm fifty years old and have decided after thirty some years of mediocre strumming and Metallica riffs that I want to up my game a bit- this is incredibly helpful as it helps me to look at the fretboard in a way different than my, "ruts" and thusly provides incredible amounts of inspiration! Thank you for making this!

    This is how I was taught triads back in the late 70s. I don't remember them being called triads at the time, just "chord fragments." Nice lesson, especially for people who have to play standing in front of people. Everyone who watches and puts this to use will remember it the rest of their lives. (psst - I never learned the CAGED system😀)

      That’s so cool! I also remember learning “chord fragments “ but I had no idea with they did..I was simply using them as part of a solo rather than as a practical tool. BTW I think you might have unwittingly learned the Caged system if only through osmosis! Lol!

    I have that same diagram, lol. I agree that learning just the triads on strings 1 through 4 is all you really need. I've been trying to learn but I don't have a real good memory.Some teachers want you to spend so many hours learning CAGED and all the chords and scales that relate to various caged shapes.

      Simplify even more so you need to memorize less: Note that @3:21, there are only three Major triad shapes for the high set of strings. The video illustrates the A Major triad, but the same shapes apply to every other note. Now to simplify even further, consider the A note to be the root, or 1st-tone of the A-scale. Notice that for each triad shape, the root is on a different string. Each triad also has a C# which is the 3rd-tone of the A-scale. Each triad also has a E which is the 5th-tone of the A-scale. So, instead of remembering the triads by the note names remember the three shapes and the 1,3,5 tone numbers. The triad shapes and numbers do not change when you play in different keys. The positions of the triads change their positions relative to the fretboard but stay the same relative to each other. So, memorize just three shapes using the tone numbers, and you'll know three ways to make each the eleven major triads that are possible on that string set.
      Note that @5:26, the minor triads each have just one tone different than the Major triads. That tone is always the 3rd-tone, and it is always flatted, i.e. moved one fret toward the nut. So, if you memorize just (three Major triad shapes + minor triads have the 3rd-tone flatted), then you will know how to make 66 different major triads on the first 3-string set.
      BTW - You probably already have the Major triad shapes memorized. The Major triad with the root on the first string is the first position F-chord shape. The Major triad with the root on the second string is the open position D-chord shape. The Major triad with the root on the third string is the open position A-chord shape, with the index finger replacing the nut.

      @BranHalen 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are both important though. The CAGED shapes are just the bigger picture. Triads are like zooming in on the picture. I do wish I prioritized triads a lot earlier in my playing. Especially triad pairs for soloing

  • @APMTenants
    @APMTenants 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If one starts by learning the full major and minor 6 string chord shapes for C, A, G, E and D, one can target the 3 string clusters within those shapes and arrive at every possible triad shape, as well as every 3 string power chord shape. When I am watching you do this, I am always thinking about how these triads fit within the larger chord shapes.

  • @SchoolBusMechanic
    @SchoolBusMechanic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Best triad explanation I've come across! I've been randomly playing most of these shapes through out the years but without knowing the structure and what they're called. I find that concentrating on the 1 3 5 scale position really helps. 😊

  • @johnharreld4875
    @johnharreld4875 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Here's why I'm glad I learned CAGED... we all learn our open chord shapes first, and learning where the roots of each shape are should be next. So CAGED doesn't have to be memorizing that whole crazy chart; it's just learning to arrange the open shapes by wherever their root needs to be (and recognizing their sequence on the neck as a bonus). Then you have all these already familiar open chord shapes to hang all your newly learned triads on, but now they're anywhere on the neck that you need them. That's how it's been working for me anyway.

    Hi. Forgive my English please. I'm Spanish., 😅First, I have to say it's a great lesson on triads, depending what you know or don't know about them. But in any case, I think it would be maybe more interesting, apart from saying the name of the notes on the string, also and very important, the interval. I mean, which is root, 3rd and 5th. But as I said in the beginning, very good video. Learned a lot from it. My comment is just a suggestion. Keep it up m8 👍🏽👌🏼

  • @KevinAhlgrim
    @KevinAhlgrim หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Just a contrary opinion. I did not find CAGED system difficult and it helps you learn triads. Connecting CAGED across the entire fretboard is more challenging, but that's a different skill. We all learn the CAGED open chord shapes, then expand to E- and A-shaped barre chords (and Em and Am shapes). Know those and you immediately know the triad shapes on strings 1-4.

    Triads are actually very simple.
    They're just fragments of chords you already know!
    As the guy in video said, focus on mid-to-high end of the sonic range first.
    Once you start playing (and seeing) the triads inside chords you already know, you'll start to learn new ones that aren't necessarily a part of a 5 or 6-string "standard chord."
    Just take ir a little at a time, don't try to learn all of them all at once.
    Like i said, start out with triads inside the chords you already know.
    In addition to the "sonic" reasons, it frees up fingers to play fills & other "decorations."
    It takes a little time to learn all of them, don't get frustrated!
    If you follow my advice, you'll have new stuff to practice really quick, and you'll feel like you're really starting to master the instrument!

  • @dirtyharry292
    @dirtyharry292 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video thankyou - two quick questions 1) moving these shapes along the fretboard is all you have to do to change chords - correct? and 2) on the second string set, why didn't you show the A major shape at the second fret? Or did you just leave all the open chords out of the video? Thanks again

    • @FabsDolan
      @FabsDolan  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      1) if you have a chord progression you now have an option of 3 triads to choose from for each chord.
      Practice this by running up and down your triads in A minor and then run up and down the triads in C major immediately after.
      2) you’re correct, you can play that shape at the second fret. What I have shown is the exact same thing just up 1 octave (12 frets higher)
      Thanks for watching and I’m glad it helped 🙏

      @jasonmurkin3364 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      You can see the Root note (in this case A) on the diagrams. So to play a different chord you would move the root note... So if you wanted to play a B Major triad you would move the shape 2 frets up the neck i.e. a whole step... For C another 1 fret up. This is why knowing where your notes on the fretboard is important. Good luck 👍🏻

    3 minutes in and I had to stop watching what did you just say the 7 and 5 th strings ain't important.
    How do most learn the 145 blues if it wasn't for the 6 root or 5th.
    Every string is important saying that these ain't as much due to where the.guitar sits in the belt of 7 octaves means nothing on the bass as it's a octave lower.
    This does not mean we play only the 4 highest strings
    I know where you learnt ths and thought the same but it is not true as it's related to the octaves on a piano 7 octaves the guitar is based around octave 4 E3 to E7 on a 24 fret.
    Thinking only the highest 4 strings are most concentrated?
    Depends if playing blues grass bass runnings for example says it all
    One question does anybody teach the positives and negatives anymore this is where most fall if they don't get taught this or the coin or the black hole 7th even most leave alone but once committed will find many key changes as quick as a mad hatter learning about.
    All I see is major and minor as chord explanations but the positives and negatives in all scales from semi tonic every semitones being a opposite
    The 1357 opposite 246 in simple terms of understanding.
    When going to the fourth in blues bar 5 you going from positive major to negative though the 4 th is major.
    Bar 5 is line 2 of 3.
    Hence the phase sound as we all know
    But don't know why even if you spell it out just add the 7th to any triad gives you a chord related on the 3rd degree.
    D7 for example is f maj
    D. F. A. C
    1. 3. 5. 7
    1. 3. 5
    Yep people need to be shown this just so the penny actually drops but if nobody teaching this I ask give the students the whole basic principles instead of farcing about dam time waisting TH-cam guitar lesson community.
    Why is it you get some thinking that the community is thick and that some have actually learned and asked stupid questions like why are the doors placed on the guitar in certain spots ?
    I know but I'm not saying it just gets me that people don't think outside of the box when coming up with content
