Thanks for the lesson on triads! Very helpful! It's easy when you realize it's just bits of the chord! So any chord you play you just break it up! Didn't think about that before,it's making me learn the fretboard so much faster!!
11:51 is cool. "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" P. Floyd jumps out to me. Just walk your third finger on the D string down one fret at a time til you can't go anymore! D#. The other two notes stay the same. Gentle pick through the three notes twice and slowly. I am not sure of the last chord so I just hit the D#. If anyone knows...
@ i wouldn’t get hung up on that detail if I were you. I’m two years into guitar and if there’s one thing I can say I’ve definitely learned it’s that everyone has a different answer for everything 🤣.
Great lesson on triad and inversions. Recently traded my 78 Fender Mustang with maple fretboard for a Gibson SG Standard. Now I’m regretting it even more. Best lessons and teacher.
Best guitar lesson ever- i have been trying to piece all my triad shapes together into a coherent form like that mostly by ear for the better part of a year now. Gold lesson exactly what i needed! Love your work thanks:)
I've been playing 50 yrs plus, didn't know all of these bc I get stuck in using the same pattern over and over. SEEING this are important,....very good lesson!!
Dude, this is about the fifth one of your videos that I've watched and saved. This is some of the best instruction I've ever seen... accessible for newer players but lots for other more experienced players very well done. Very easy to follow. Keep using the graph format in the smaller screen its very helpful for visual learners to learn shapes that way... keep up the great work!
Am I correct in stating that with these triad inversions in mind, if you know the underlying chords during a solo, the "correct" notes to play are literally ALL over the neck? I can venture outside my two comfortable boxes? Who woulda thunk it? I find myself talking to your videos as if we're on a Zoom call. You teach in a way that is finally easy for me to understand. Thank you. 👽✌️
The answer to your question is YES. Getting out of the boxes we find ourselves in is what makes guitar playing so interesting. The inspiration that comes from the different voicing you get from learning triads keeps me from getting bored. It also gets me unstuck when I find myself playing same old stuff over and over again. There's so much to learn. I like to mix and match open chords with barre chords and triads to see where it takes me. If I am incorporating a melody into what I'm doing, I try to find different ways of playing a melody, building off the mix of chords I create. It's challenging sometimes, but it's also a lot of fun. My guitar playing has really taken off since I found out about triads.
Thanks again for a great lesson on triads and their inversions. Recently traded my 78 Fender Mustang with maple fret board for a Gibson SG Standard and have regretted it even more after seeing yours. Best lessons and teacher.
What would be super helpful is to overlay the pentatonic scale on these shapes for us mortals. I was playing around with that on my own- in my head. It's interesting and can really help how we can actually use these things- especially how when you said you like to bounce around and mix them up- once you have them done. YES. Knowing where they live, relative to the penta scale will be a HUGE win for anyone. Briefly, his first major shape is simply an A major chord- you can think of it as Shape #2 of the major pentatonic scale or you can think of it as the F# minor penta scale- shape #2. When you play the 7 note major scale starting at fret #5, looking at the thin E string, you are really just starting on shape 2, then into shape 3. Simple. Yes, the root notes are in different spots between major and minor but the pattern is the same in a pentatonic scale. The D looking triad is within the shape 4 of the penta scale. Just start with the first triad and figure it out for yourself. It works. Also, would be great to put the 3rd in BLUE so we can visualize that one important tone to help us make the minor triads. The Root in red is fine but the 3rd needs to jump out- it's hugely important.
I'm a hack and play a lot of R&B. For an easy augmented triad I use the root position triad and just 'sharpen' the 5th. Since an augmented chord has enough dissonance, this voicing is sufficient in most applications.
Thank you. This is the best video i've seen to explain triads. I spend some time an got through a lot of videos but never found one that was clear enough for me (before I found yours :-) )
Great vid, liking the fret board diagrams which really helps. Very informative and easy to understand. Wish I learnt triads when I first started playing guitar.
visual learner here. if you do this kind of graphic again it would mirror what we see on your fb if you put low e at the top of graphic. I clicked because your visuals are awesome and I need that to learn. My suggestion is imho. Sure others might like it with high e on top. New sub here
Hey. I’m loving your videos. So detailed and very easy to draw from. ! Il doing my practice on the triads and trying to see how to use them. If you can please make a video on how to use the in rhythmic playing or you’ve made a video please lemmi know then I can use it. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Sir, Can you please make another episode about this lesson in all keys even in major key only ,thank you so much if you acknowledge,i already support your channel, greetings from the PHILIPPINES.
Thank you for the great lesson to better acquaint me with the triads. Now, give me the end game. Why are these important and how do I apply them to my playing. What's the real world reason these will help my playing?
the hardest part of triads is just memorizing the shapes on the corresponding strings, or thats how it is for me. it can seem daunting and alot of information to take in, but it really clicked when i broke it down to those two components.
Fretboard diagrams are usually oriented like this. Think of it this way, it’s a POV of you looking down on your fretboard. The low E is on the bottom and the high E is on the top.
Well I'm left handed so I have to reverse all of it! Just play a barr chord and break it up on 3 strings! Like 1st,2nd,3rd strings, 2,3,4th strings and 3,4,5th strings
That's a sweet ass Mustang. What year is it? (you answered my question in the video). I just purchased 2 '65's - one Olympic White and the other Dakota Red. I found out the hard way that the tremolo bar literally just sits in the hole and if you tip the guitar forward it falls right out...lol
Confused on this lesson. How do you find where each triad is played? Just moving from one shape to another left me lost. I get that there are three different shapes I need to learn but no explanation was given as to how to find where to play each shape. Any assistance with this is appreciated!
Can you just play ALL the Major Triads and simply lower the 3rd of that shape? Minor looks like you are using different locations which is more work I think. Great info. to know though. I need to learn triads!
Forgive me but you said that this was all the A Majors on all the strings but you didn't use the A Major using the 2nd fret of the D-G-B strings which I believe is the 2nd inversion that you played on the 14th fret.
You definitely have a way of making it easy for dumbarses like me to understand, although, I doubt my ADHD brain will ever remember all this 😂 When would I use a triad rather than the whole chord?
Next step, learn all the notes on the fretboard and how to construct chords. It is hard work but rewarding. Learning jazz standards forces you to do this.
Have you seen how many videos you have dedicated to trads. One moment we are being told how important this knowledge is to have in our bag of tricks,then we don't see or hear about them till I've developed Alzheimer's or arthritis 😂.

Finally a succinct and easy to follow triad video! I have watched dozens of triad videos to no avail. I am so glad I stumbled on this.
If there a 9 major shapes- why not 18 including minor triads? Most places say there are 12 main triad shapes.

Excellent Exercise Eddie 😊 Thanks for making these types of lessons available to all 😊
You are such a good teacher. Love all your videos
This is a great exercise! I've been learning triads but I can't wait to use this!
I am 42 years old and it sucks that I am now realizing how bad my guitar teacher was when I was a teenager. Great video!!
Thank you. This is the best video i've seen to explain triads. I spend some time an got through a lot of videos but never found one that was clear enough for me (before I found yours :-) )
You're approach speaks to me, thank you.
Triads rule! Thanks for this lesson Eddie, helped me get the inversion concept down.
Great vid, liking the fret board diagrams which really helps. Very informative and easy to understand. Wish I learnt triads when I first started playing guitar.
Much thanks for triad session.
Excellent teaching here...thanks my man...

This was a good lesson and refresher. And wow, that is a really good sounding guitar.
This is great. Maybe the best intro to triads on the TH-cams.
This was an awesome lesson! Thank You
You’re a great teacher !
Thanks so much. Learnt more here than at music school 😅😅
Thanks for the lesson. BTW my first electric guitar was a Fender Music Master, very similar to your mustang. It brought back good memories.
fantastic video! I learned so much. Thank you!
Thanks, always explained perfectly. Guitar sounds great.
Excellent lesson we need for the next lesson, thanks you.
Thank you.Excellent teacher.Im beginning to understand that lead guitar needs this type of theory
Great lesson! BTW, that Mustang is immaculate, especially for a 1966. Very, very nice.
This is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello master, thank you from Thailand.
18:59 Hello master, thanks from Philippines!!?+&$
Thanks Eddie. Feels like a connection to you.
Great video! This is really helpful to me learning all this inversions. This is the right video I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey. I’m loving your videos. So detailed and very easy to draw from. !
Il doing my practice on the triads and trying to see how to use them.
If you can please make a video on how to use the in rhythmic playing or you’ve made a video please lemmi know then I can use it. Thanks
Very informative sir I'll be more appreciate if you could explain about the diminished triad and dominant 7 chords
Excellent triad lesson😊
Excellent lesson thank you
Thank you for explaining inversions. 😮
Nice lesson, thanks.
Good lesson ! Subscribed !
Great job, thanks for the lesson.
Glad you liked it!
Awesome job! Thanks so much!!❤❤🎉🎉
Great lesson!thankyou
Thank you !!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Sir, Can you please make another episode about this lesson in all keys even in major key only ,thank you so much if you acknowledge,i already support your channel, greetings from the PHILIPPINES.
really helpful. Thanks
Cool Mustang, thank you for your instruction.
Thank you. You are a godsend
This has been very helpful 😊
Thanks so much for the advice.
This video earned you a Subscribe and a Like. A very helpful lesson for me. Thanks

Helpful and useful. Thanks.
C’est très pratique, merci.
Muchas gracias maestro!!!😊🙏🙏🙏
Yes ! Now i have both under-f and over-f to play with ahahaha
Thanks man 😊
Damn! #1Trending on Guitar. Way to go sir! Watching from Philippines.🫡💯
Well done! I could at least under stand, but a lot to memorize 😮 sheesh
Just take it one triad at a time. You’ve got this!
Thanks very helpful
My teacher did a lesson on this but i need more explanation. Thanks
the hardest part of triads is just memorizing the shapes on the corresponding strings, or thats how it is for me. it can seem daunting and alot of information to take in, but it really clicked when i broke it down to those two components.
Don't look at it that way, just have at it with moving the Cowboy chords. He kinda says that 👍
Nice lesson...
would love to get the tabs from this video!
Lovely
Great trick, just run through them everyday. Why haven't anyone thought of that before
ty good lesson
10:52 I also find myself having a moment to think about which inversion I'm playing while teaching these. 😁
Subbed!
ดีมากๆขอบคุณครับ
Nice mustang man
It's very difficult for me to process this when the fingers are backwards to the fretboard pictures.
Guitar tutorials should have camera angle the same as we look down on the neck I think
@@brothermoto1964 Yes, I couldn't finish watching this because it made me dizzy and off balance.
Fretboard diagrams are usually oriented like this. Think of it this way, it’s a POV of you looking down on your fretboard. The low E is on the bottom and the high E is on the top.
Well I'm left handed so I have to reverse all of it! Just play a barr chord and break it up on 3 strings! Like 1st,2nd,3rd strings, 2,3,4th strings and 3,4,5th strings
My first thought as well
took me 7 minutes before i realized this wasn't going to be a 1 minute trick :P
Once you learn the trick, it only takes a minute to use :)
Same
That's a sweet ass Mustang. What year is it? (you answered my question in the video). I just purchased 2 '65's - one Olympic White and the other Dakota Red. I found out the hard way that the tremolo bar literally just sits in the hole and if you tip the guitar forward it falls right out...lol
Thank u

Look into the CAGED method and it will orientate you to how these triad shapes/positions are related. 🎸
Liked and sub’d
Great stuff.
Cheers
Loved the Kurt Cobain's guitar
Can you just play ALL the Major Triads and simply lower the 3rd of that shape? Minor looks like you are using different locations which is more work I think. Great info. to know though. I need to learn triads!
Is this better to learn or CAGED?
how do you figure out where the third and fifth are
Forgive me but you said that this was all the A Majors on all the strings but you didn't use the A Major using the 2nd fret of the D-G-B strings which I believe is the 2nd inversion that you played on the 14th fret.
Do, mi, so mi,so, do so, do, mi.
Yeah I think of it in the same way except I just memorize them as 351 (first inversion), 513 (second inversion), 135
so, do, mi buggers me every time
I see what you did there. Clever! 👍
@@Larrymh07Yeah, that one was always a pain in the butt.
What’s the exercise that I can do 1 minute a day?
Running through the different inversions on the different string sets.
You definitely have a way of making it easy for dumbarses like me to understand, although, I doubt my ADHD brain will ever remember all this 😂
When would I use a triad rather than the whole chord?
Solo improv my friend
@@gkisscovers5320 thank you :)
Sos many shapes to remember...
👌
Man, I need to dig out my Mustang from the back of the closet. Thanks for the tips.
Those cars are classics! How did it fit in there? lol…

Next step, learn all the notes on the fretboard and how to construct chords. It is hard work but rewarding. Learning jazz standards forces you to do this.
I tend to call them the lazy chords!
so the triad is actually a full chord with some of the notes removed so they're in pair of threes
I may be worthy, but I’m not ready
Have you seen how many videos you have dedicated to trads. One moment we are being told how important this knowledge is to have in our bag of tricks,then we don't see or hear about them till I've developed Alzheimer's or arthritis 😂.
Whats the purpose of triad? Sorry newbie
To play pieces of chords in different places to sound more melodic
