  • Hello Adrian I have just started to learn Triads It has been a light bulb moment for me, BUT you say you have many videos on Triads where do I start with your lessons, I am retired so I can't afford lessons so I rely on your introductory lessons which is a pity because I am really hooked in to these triad concepts and lessons I look forward to hearing from you Adrian I am enjoying this video

  • The triad structure can complement scales technique and they really give the guitar ???? that distinctive edge and feel.An interesting and necessary discovery.

  • Thanks! So when you play in triads, you must change to the triad that matches the chord changes, correct? Another way to solo this progression this is to play the key, which in this case is D mixolydian or G major. Correct?

  • A good guitar solo to relate this to is Take it Easy, Eagles. More or less all on the EBG strings starting by hitting the G triad 3rd fret and it works back and then up the neck to the 12th with double stops and string bends, added notes for melody.

  • I’ve been playing and singing for fun for around 30 years. My whole time playing I’ve mostly just played open chords for country songs. I use some triads and some bar chords but mostly just open chords. I know music theory fairly well. I’ve always wanted to do more on the guitar than what I do but never could take it to the next level. About two weeks ago I started practicing my triads. I’ve been teaching myself all the triads on the neck, practicing them over and over, and applying music theory to them. It was like a light bulb went off. I’m starting to see the different shapes on the neck and how they tie into scales. I’ve taught myself more in the last two weeks than I have in the last 10 years or so. I wish that I would have learned more about triads whenever I first started playing. It’s made guitar fun again.

  • Great material! Also, a BIG thank you for starting with the assumption that people must first know their triad shapes. One thing: the title suggests we 'ditch the scales.' If that's the topic, it seems like there's a lot more to say. More videos on the way?
