Oh man! I think you'd like regional Spanish music, it's all about 3rds playing melodies, it's usually done with a 12 string acoustic, and since they dont get 12 string packets, they get 2 packs of 6 strings, it gives it a bit more metallic sound, if you have a chance, check out a video on yt "Grupo tr3s60- se va muriendo mi alma" you may not speak Spanish, but I think you'd get a kick of the guitar playing. If you do see it , please let me know, I really would like your feedback
Darrell Braun Guitar Is the tab wrong for the Minor variant? Shouldn’t it be 8 and 9 rather than 8 and 8? Or I am confused 🤷♂️ Because isn’t it based on the melodic Minor scale?
Wow. What a great powerful lesson. I have used 3rds sparingly and unkowingly, but now the switch has been flipped and I am going to take this to another level. Thanks!
I have been a subcriber for several years , and I just wanted to thank You , and let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy your videos ! Even though I have been playing guitar for over 56 years , it is really nice to learn new stuff !
Thanks Darrell for giving another insightful and easy to follow lesson to all of us trying to play guitar as effortlessly melodic as you! Great job as usual!
Thanks very much Darrell I have been trying to learn how to play 3rds for awhile with little success. This is the best, easiest to understand lesson on this playing style that I have found.
Darrell this is amazing. I recognize the sound of 3rds as I've heard it so many times in my favorite music, I just never knew what it was called. Once again you opened my eyes to more tools to use on the guitar
I've been eager to find a good lesson on thirds for quite some time and now you show up with this again! It's wonderful how you cover most of the educational topics I'm interested in. Another job well done, Darrell! Now I have to study it further and really understand...
Great explanation, thank you very much. I don't even want to know why 13 people gave this thumbs down. We appreciate the way you take your time and in just a few minutes help us understand! Excellent!
Back in the day, and even now, a lot of guitar players call these “double stops”. Particularly chickin’ pickers as I recall. However, folks like Steve Cropper used them in R&B and soul music too, as well as Blues players as you said. The lead guitarist of big brother and the holding company used them famously on take another little piece of my heart that was sung by their lead singer, Janis Joplin. That was one of the first lead parts I ever learned from their live LP called cheap thrills. It’s a classic song and live LP. Their version of counter opposing guitars and Janice’s soulful vocals on Summertime are wonderful. They also use some crazy cool fuzz and feedback. They tore up that concert with two Gibson SG standard’s in Cherry mahogany, and a bass player with a Gibson EB style in cherry also. They used 85 watts to maximum effect Fender Dual Showman heads (Twin Reverb circuit minus the Reverb, not needed at the Fillmore West) on top of twin 15” JBL cabinets. They weren’t the best band in the world, but Janice and them had a quirky synergy that is quite amazing on that luve LP, it’s a classic. Cool cartoons on the original album work too. Listen to it on vinyl if you can, for maximum in your face saturation!
I have been feeling stuck in my playing for a while, and i just bought this etsy sheet and im so happy that I did! this is so fun, and pretty easy too even if your a beginner! Thanks you Darrel! :D I really love your channel man it brings me alot of joy! I really enjoy watching your videos and learning new stuff! much Love!
I always run from solos with 3rds/6ths/traids I preferred single note cos I did not understand being an intermediate player but it's all making sense now as you throw light on the usage as well. Would love 6ths/ traid applications too YOU AWESOME 🎸 DARRELL
@Darrell Braun Guitar - I love every one of your videos for your tones, teaching methods, and professional production, however...I have 2 issues with this lesson. 1) Even though 6ths played as an inversion of 3rds are more commonly played, I would have liked to see you play actual 3rds on pairs of strings (1st & 2nd string or 2nd & 3rd string). 2) The notation for the G minor example is unnecessarily confusing. I get that some guitarists never play in flat keys, but you should have written it with Bb's and Eb's to be more consistent for anyone who wants to visualize the intervals better. Those notes are common enough in C Blues and F Blues that they wouldn't be too confusing. A# to G is diminished 7th. Other than the sheet music, it was top notch! Looking forward to what you will share with us next!
Really enjoyed watching this. I just got my first Strat a while back and I’m definetly gonna try to apply this to my playing and try it out. You really helped alot my man!
It’s kind of funny that this lesson is on 3rds, but your open G chord you dont play either of the B’s. Just noticed it. Great lesson though for real!!!
Great Video Darrell as always. There's no way around it. I want a relish Mary. I tried to deny it when I first saw yours, but yes, I REALLY want one. There I said it.
Well done, Darrell, and I even sort of follow it visually, but I have to add that the notations don't help at all for those of us clods who don't read music. The diagrams might as well be (in fact, they seem to be) in Martian. The only diagrams that make sense to me are the ones with the lines (strings) and the dots to indicate which strings are put in contact with which fret. This is my issue, not yours, but it has kept me from being even a barely competent guitar player for decades. I've mostly learned by trial and error, and by ear. At least I now understand (sort of) where some of the licks I've liked for years fit into music theory.
Another approach is to alternately pick the two strings - basically arpeggiating the partial chords. This is a building block lesson to using moving triads.
Not gonna lie, I came to this expecting to see a lesson on something I already knew, but this is a different way to approach the same idea. Solid lesson!
Hate to break it to you, but those are indeed sixths. Intervals are always named by their distance. Harmonic context will not change the name of an interval being played, only the name of the scale degree being played. G will be the first scale degree in G major, and B will always be called the third scale degree in G, whether it's above or below. If you change to B minor, G will become the soxth scale degree, and B will become the first dcale degree. Displacing the octave of a note a third above will change it's distance, and thus it's interval as well. It's important to understand how to play both thirds and sixths on guitar, so make sure you distinguish them correctly for your students so they don't think actual thirds and sixths are the same thing. :)
I think it's also confusing he's calling them thirds, when in reality he means that it's the third of the chord if it was in root position, but here it's inverted so the third is in the bass (hence first inversion.) This is why he's playing sixths and calling them thirds. It's misleading, as he should've as well said what he's playing is basically First inversion triads without the 5th, which is all he's really doing here.
@@ytmhcubed his concept of thirds here is REALLY misleading, It took me some time to realize que is just playing the third note based on the next 2 notes in the key.
@@MrRaphaelLippi Think of it this way, if the major triad is G B D and the first inversion is B D G, he's playing only B G, which is a 6th. He just doesn't play the D (the fifth of the chord.) Also, what he doesn't explain is why the thirds vary. The point is, each degree is a different chord which is either major or minor. In major, the 2, 3, 6 and 7th degrees are all minor (except the 7th which is actually diminished) while the 1, 4 and 5th degrees are major, this is what forces you to change position. In (natural) minor this changes of course, so the 1, 2*, 4 and 5th* degrees are minor, and the 3, 6 and 7th* degrees are major. (*In Harmonic minor the 7th degree is diminished and the 5th is major instead.)
Hello, I really like your channel, I'm from Brazil. It would be amazing if you could somehow put subtitles in Portuguese, it could be from portugal. Thanks!
Interesting that you say it doesn't make sense as sixths. If you applied this same concept to fourths and inverted it, you would be playing power chords.
Nice lesson. I really lime the comcept of the guitar, not the shape tho. Just me, i guess. An sg style or even a les paul shape could work better for me.
🚩Hi Darrell:-). I've watched almost ALL your Videos, luv them! Ya think maybe every now and then you could throw us a PDF... For Free? Just a thought (wish). Enjoyed the video*
Enjoy the new lesson!
3rds/6ths are some of my favourite ways to create guitar parts and solos :)

love you man, you're so great!...
I'm just speechless about you!... Great work!...
Love from Bangladesh... cheers
Nice...I've used thirds for years but this is some new stuff to think about. Very good! Thanks!
Brilliant lesson! Thank you so much for your time teaching us for free. Keep up the awesome work.
Excellent lesson! Big thanks for taking the time in doing this!! Awesome....
Thanks 🙂 it changed my way to play
This was a very concise and helpful video. Thank you.
I like it, i know these things but i like your solos and your kind voice! Thanks!
Thx Darrel for this great lesson. I like the sound and to play this kinda style. We want more
Great performance & guitar lesson. Thanks, all the best
Thanks Darren. Just had the ahah! Moment. This was so helpful. You are a great teacher.

It's hard to concentrate about thirds, because I can't take my eyes off that Relish! What an awesome guitar, I want one!
Thank you for the vid and I love the guitar. Keep it up man
It’s kind of funny that this lesson is on 3rds, but your open G chord you dont play either of the B’s.
Just noticed it. Great lesson though for real!!!
Hendrix's use of thirds in the intro to "Night Bird Flying" is pretty cool and worth checking out.
Very helpful lesson, Darrell! Awesome!
Great lesson! Learnt a lot, time to practice
good lesson and nice little jam.
Hell yeah what a Beautiful guitar !!!
Great lesson,really taught me something new. The jam track reminded me of 'I'd rather go blind' by Etta James.
Great lesson sir 👌
As one who already knows the fundamental concepts behind these, I still support and approve of this awesome lesson! Great work man!
You must be a very patient teacher 😀
Great Video Darrell as always. There's no way around it. I want a relish Mary. I tried to deny it when I first saw yours, but yes, I REALLY want one. There I said it.
Kevin O'Rourke I would love to have one also! Beautiful guitar and versatile!

Really good lesson! I’m a beginner and it was very inspiring!
Great lesson. What are some ways that I can practice thirds and sixths.
Awesome job man. I too like the thirds etc. I’d love to see you do a review of the new Fender alternate series stuff, like the 66...
This is very helpful. Thank you. Nice guitar too.
Love these videos man, super helpful!
Good stuff. Bye Bye Baby (Janis Joplin) comes to mind with the first few shapes.
Very cool lesson Darrell! Thnx much! :)
Outstanding job! Very useful!
The way I see it is inverted triads without the fifth. Thx for the vid!
And that's exactly what they are!
@@SynthApprentice yup. It helps me visualize what shape to use for the given key
Not gonna lie, I came to this expecting to see a lesson on something I already knew, but this is a different way to approach the same idea. Solid lesson!
Thank you Darell
I am having a great day today. Thanks
thank darrell .. u da man ! :)
Great lesson Darrel ,awesome but strange guitar ,really like the sound of those triads in intro ,ex: two steps behind by Def Leppard
Please keep doing lesson vids!
Amazing lesson!
Ok I'm ready for my own relish Darrell.
Thank you! Very helpful :)
It's the same backing track from duo jet vs pro jet!
Hi sir just asking if you can have beginner lessons on the basic intervals on 3rds,4ths,5ths,6ths,8ths and 10nths thanks an I'll be eagerly waiting
Darrell: ..........throw away your Taylor.......
Me: What Taylor?
But on a different note. Love the videos, and can't wait to see what's next.
Enjoyed this information. Many thanks, from your northern neighbor in Alaska.
;0)
Hey! Just wanted to let you know, your thumbnail has a typo, just in case you wanted to update it! Great video as always!
So it's really not how many notes you can pick in a few seconds, but obtaining a melody using 1/3 rds . Sweet
OMG I love your guitar! Whats the model name?
Thank you
Hey was that backing track gravity by John Mayer.? It really is killing me.
RELISH

Please upload more from theory
i like your relish
Is it not f# diminished in the key of g? Is it supposed to be played like a major third?

Is the tab wrong for the Minor variant? Shouldn’t it be 8 and 9 rather than 8 and 8? Or I am confused 🤷♂️
It's 8 on the first string (C) and the third is 8 on the third string (Eb). It would be 9 (E) in stead of 8 (Eb) in G Major.
