    Learning triads up and down the neck is much more useful than spending hours going up and down the pentatonic scale IMO.

      I have a question. I’m a pretty skillful player but I lack knowledge when it comes to understanding the fretboard and theory. I want to learn triads but I don’t understand many lessons because I’m not familiar with certain terms used when explaining triads and stuff. What approach should I take before learning triads?
      I hope this isn’t a stupid question but I’d genuinely like to know how to improve my fretboard knowledge and music terminology

      @@alexs9168 I really enjoy the Jeff McErlain lessons on this - he has a Mastering Minor Triads lesson (a major triad course too ) as well as a course called Soloing with Triads which go over the fundamentals really well. It's not so much into theory or terminology - he keeps it pretty simple really. He's a terrific teacher and a terrific player too.

      Question: is it important to know which inversion you are using, or is it enough to master the CAGED shapes and experiment with playing different parts of them? I feel like I can find C A and E shapes very well but will need to learn where to find D shapes a bit better and then move onto G

    I’ll admit I kinda figured out inversions on my own remembering what my guitar teacher told me about the three notes in a triad and messing around with an overdriven synthesizer to make the power chords sound more like a guitar. They’re a real nice way of mixing up the sound. I’ll also say the keyboard makes this a lot easier to visualize these concepts than the guitar.

    Good clear explanation. A good song to show how an "up the neck" inversion can change a chord sound is Gomez's song "Silence". The main riff is simply I-IV-I-IV repeated over and over, but the second I is an inversion higher up the neck, giving a far more interesting and memorable sound.

    On a side note in a band context it's the bassist who choses the inversion but if you play solo it's convenient to know. Also some inversions are more comfortable to play than the normal chord.

    If you learn your sweep picking patterns for triad chords, you learn all the inversions you need to know. And lastly, you can combine pentatonic scales to each corresponding chords, which is exactly what Hendrix does (ex. D major chord = D major Pentatonic Scale, A minor chord = A minor pentatonic scale)

    Loved it, great video. If I have a tune with a repetitive rhythm I try to use every inversion in a pattern as its creates movement and melody perhaps you could call it riff out of what in comparison is banal and dull.
    Over 8 bars I often crete to patterns before I repeat them for anther 8 bars. Often on the last 4 bars I will pick a different inversion to give resolution before moving to the next part of the tune. If effective I often alter the rhythm on the last 4 bars as well.
