- In this MicroLesson, I'll explain how using triads can make a huge difference in the way you improvise a melody, and how to combine them with the pentatonic scales.

Hope your son knows how lucky he is to have you teaching him guitar like this.
Best YT guitar teacher.. but can we take a second to appreciate how Brian is one of the best players on YT period! I don't care about shreddy licks, and sweep picking. I care about melody. I care about phrasing. I care about composition, and creativity. Brian has that mastered!
No exaggeration- one of my favorite players ever. I can't express how much I appreciate Brian's playing! Coming from an SRV/Hendrix/Clapton nerd, that is a huge compliment.
Facts! Brian rocks!
ɓrian is THE best.
Excellent
Wow Brian, this micro lesson is a HUGE lesson!!!!!! Lots of great concepts in just 12 minutes. Awesome !!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!
Agree 100% that this lesson is huge. Now if i can only get a handle on “weaving” the trisds and the pentatonic together. Maybe just following exactly what he did and playing it often?
This micro lesson teaches more valuable information and techniques than most people’s macro lessons!!
I love those chromatic walkdowns you use at the end !!
I have played guitar since 1967 and have never seen a more concise and informative lesson. Very well done! Thank you!!!
I'm convinced that only humanities and the arts will save this world what a wonderful father and teacher you are
Been playing for 10-15 years now and finally getting to Triads haha opens everything up!
Like others have said, this is one of the most profound and useful guitar lessons I’ve ever seen and I’m working through it and applying it right now.
This Guitar is sooo beautiful. 😍
Brian..I said if before. You are way better than anyone else out there. Have a great Xmas
I have had more aha moments with your lessons and this was another. You sir are a fantastic teacher.
Excellent lesson! You tied everything together beautifully. I think the secret sauce is showing the actual application of the triads concept with a jam track. That, and you have a great ear!
Love it. Family lessons are golden. I'm glad you shared this with us. More on this subject, please! You're a very good teacher! Thanks so much!
This is a great video to understand how and when to incorporate "double stops" in your blues-rock soloing. Even just adding a few of these techniques, including sliding into the double-stops, can make the single-note pentatonic soloist (the typical intermediate player) sound more bluesy and legit.
I agree with this. I started learning triads when I was 14, and it worked for me learning to play lead.
Great video! Sorry I just couldn't stop drifting away and looking at the guitar a few times. It's so beautiful with the nice light on it.
Ive played a lot of rock and jazz but no one ever showed me this, this is a hoot to play! Thank you!
Excellent lesson. I saw the guitarist at my messianic congregation playing what you just described here. It sounded good but I didn’t know what it was. Then your lesson finds its way to me this morning. What timing! Those were triads! Thank you!
Andy sums this Important For Any Guitar Playing at Any Level tutorial, just Great Stuff. Bravo All around!
Great lesson! Love the size and sound of that Wide Sky!
I need these kind of lessons, nicely explained Brian
Small bites every day. Have benefits. recap The next day with A Bit More.. I learned 10 Songs last night.
Less than a minute in to the video and I've got to say, what a beautiful guitar! I think I'm in love 😍
This is one of the greatest guitar lessons on TH-cam. This pushes me way ahead of where I used to play. Well done and nice guitar, too.
Great lesson, especially the demonstration at the end.
If this is a “micro” lesson then a “macro” lesson would explode my skull. Lots of good content here that will keep me busy with good, focused practice.
This is an absolutely brilliant lesson.
as a fellow guitar teacher, hats off to very nice step by step lesson.
Best video on what one can do with triads. Great stuff
I love the nice resonance and tone of that guitar Brian.
Love this dude, always says short simple lesson, 3 mins later off in stratosphere
Unreal solo. So beautiful.
He is a very GOOD teacher and player
What a brilliant lesson! Have played guitar a long time and never have seen this technique. Thanks for the video mate!
You exploded my mind!! This is a bit excellent mate!!!!!!!
nice lesson thanks !! beautiful guitar
Great lesson! That really opened a few doors for me.
Fantastic clarity in the explanation and lovely melody .thank youuu
Great vid. Beautiful guitar!!!!!
Wow, great stuff, Brian!
And, I'd sure like to have (or even just play) some of your guitars!
All those years ago, I thought being a musician was a "dead end job."
To me, it depends on how good you are, ie, how well you play.
Of course, that in itself depends on how much it drives you. Because, if you're driven (like I am), you'll practice all the time, and you'll always work hard to keep getting better!
(Which is what I do.)
I can only wonder how good I'd be today, if I hadn't taken a 30+ year hiatus, lol.
Still, I'm better than I was a year ago, and I see progress weekly, sometimes daily!
Especially with your lessons!
You're an excellent teacher, and many of the songs you've written to illustrate a concept have helped me in ways that I can't describe.
I always learn a lot about playing when I learn the songs, and I continue to learn when I practice them!
Often I'll add to them or change them in places.
As I get better, I'm more confident (and better) at modifying them. Sometimes I'll go around & around, playing something over & over (with my own transition to begin again) and I'll play certain sections differently each time.
This is all helping me to improvise!
All on account of your teaching me theory and improv "secrets."
See, you (and most ppl) thought this comment was all about me, lol.
But, I brought it back around to thanking you!
👍 👌
Another outstanding lesson. Your explanations are great and easy to follow. Your son is lucky to have a Dad that can teach him how to play guitar.. Have a Merry Christmas.
Great lesson , thank you , and love that guitar
Exactly the type of sound I want to learn. Thanks for the lessons, brother! Juggalo Nation #1.
Great concise lesson, I can practice this over Xmas on my friend's classical guitar
I'll echo what others have said: This lesson is micro in length only. I think my guitar playing just jumped a level. Brian, man, you give me hope that I might actually be a half-decent guitar player one of these days. Please keep doing what you're doing. And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Having a lot of fun this week working out some Christmas songs with triads under the melody... definitely learnt a lot from you this year thank you!!
This is great. You make it seem so easy 😄
Thank you man, you're good at what you are doing. Thumbs-up
Christmas has come early. Another great lesson. Thanks Brian
Keep them lessons coming ❤
Great Lesson - learnt so much
Brilliant! You are such a good teacher.
You are the sultan of TASTY. Every note you play is a story. No filler whatsoever! Thank you for showing us what it means and how to get it and DO IT!
Fantastic lesson, thank you!
Man, your Son has you to teach him, that is awesome!
Very good sound....cheers from Canada.....
WOW your son is learning guitar!!! That’s great.
I had the Still of the First Frame of your video on my 43" monitor for a while... when i came back i noticed that we have the exact same strap!!!

lol jeez you do some good stuff. . .simple but deep too...best out there
First of all thank you so much for all of your online content you’ve made a world of a difference in the last 2 months of my playing and improving.
When we are supposed to mix triads with major and minor scales, do we imagine the triads as their own chords, but laying over the pentatonics/scales of the keys root note? or do we swap scales with the chord tone we are highlighting.
Thank you again for all your teachings!
Really good stuff and wonderfully presented. Thank you!
Thanks for this! I’ve been following your lessons re the triads and it has elevated my playing and this is neat element to add to the whole concept
As always a great lesson! Thanks and Merry Christmas
