Triads For Guitar: START HERE

Im getting started with Triads and watched a few videos, and this is by far one of the best if not THE best,cause it doesnt only give you some shapes but also shows the connection. Besides that, youre a great and cool teacher.

Your guitar tone is awesome 👍

That kind of playing reminds me of Bernie leadon of the eagles

Oh wow I'm getting sick of singing your praise's Chris haha, another awesome lesson my man I really loved your arpeggio lesson and now this lesson on triad's has given me greater insight and understanding they definitely compliment each other and give greater flexibility to visualize the neck and understand their relationships, thank you 👍

Great job on your channel! Love how you explain things. First ever time I'm considering becoming a patreon member.

Mind…blown. Thanks!

Any significance to the P47 on your guitar? Just wondering. Cool.

EGAD looks like work lol. Any suggestions on the best way to study /practice them?
I'm guessing the only real way is to learn the notes in each chordal version.
I'm not trying to be lazy, its more about not cluttering the noggin too much IF there is an easier way, as there often is. So if there is and a way to make that connection, it would also be much appreciated!

So, how do you go about memorizing all of this?

If you actually understand what hes doing and what he is talking about this is a cheat code you can use all the different inversions for different keys

As always, thank you Chris!!

Still not getting it. Ugh. Guess im destined to be the not too bright bass player that plays basslines you can teach a monkey.

ARE YOU &#*!!ing (kidding) ME? I JUST LEARNED THE MAJOR SCALE, BAR CHORD AND TRIADs IN ABOUT 1/2 HOUR! Wow!! What the Hell have people been teaching?? i have been trying to learn this for about 5+ years..the first thing i learned in guitar was C A G E D open cowboy chords and then major scale , then pentatonic scale , then bar chords. i have tried to learn the caged system i could not get it , i have been lost for years.. so i thougt i would learn triads..i have been every were.Lost in Space YT. Chris put it all together for me in less then 5 minutes .I could have saved 7 years of YT guitars lessons..i dont know weather to laugh or cry.. WTF!

Hi Chris - please can you re -do a video showing how to play the correct sounding triads over the CIRCLE OF FIFTHS--but each triad --must have its own chord diagram --illustrated --when you play CGDAEB and so on --that D is really bothering me !

8 X. C CHORDS before you even get to the 12 th fret ? Can you show these C. triads in graphic form --?--ie diagrams
Your camera angle is good -can see all your fingers !Well done ---most videos show obscured /partly hidden fingers on relevant strings -
how are we supposed to learn ?

Woah. What an important video! Thanks Chris. What a teacher.

Well what can l say another fantastic informative lesson
Simply the best guitar teacher
Thank you so much Chris
God bless

just in between... my werck with pansive so that i'd back in started now😊

Great lesson. Thanks….I like the Bearcat sticker on your Strat

ry cooder!

Mind blown! Man I understand triads now! Jam on man. 👊

Thankyou!

I get a headache every time I hear Theory hope that changes one day hahahah

Been trying at guitar for ages now and this channel is the first time I've ever felt I have made real progress. Thanks so much for making these videos they are extremely helpful! :))

Ur the best

You certainly have the best teaching style, thanks for sharing

CHRIS, try to make a video lesson about using your left hand THUMB for slash chords and which chords can you use to make into slash chords because not all chords you can make into different slash chords. Also you can make a video lesson about phrasing 101 knowing the classical and jazz terms of phrasing because each 4 bars should have a home note, climax note, ending line notes, etc the beatles are really good at building phrasing in their vocal melodies very classical 101

I cant figure out how to get the tabs on patreon. Hopefully this doesn't mean I'm not cut out for guitar....😄

this literally was one of THE BEST videos i ever seen.

Hi Chris, so now when i know where all my C chords are, i done that with A, G, B and D, whats the next thing i might be practice, how i get there with some songs , i mean, is that too far or should i try inter change some chord progressions, or 1 4 5 , how would u apprach this

you’ve just blown my mind

Well I got hooked here immediately with your intro piece. Suggestion. Tab with the notes not just dot positions. I cant
see fast fingers moving.

Great lesson! Thanks.

Beautiful playing in the intro.

Literally the best guitar teacher I have ever had. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and alternative style of teaching. I feel like I have been given the tools to play guitar in a way that makes sense for the first time ever. It's like a meta understanding of guitar! So logical! I can see a future for myself now where I will to know how to actually play guitar like a musician. Just started supporting you on Patreon and have recommended you to anyone who will (and won't) listen! haha! How do you only have 46K subscribers?!

Almost every time I watch a Chris Shetland video, I think why has nobody ever told me that.

Great video. I assume there is no real way around wrote memorization? I guess the patterns are repeating so that makes it easier.

I've learnt so much in just a few days from your channel, I just want to thank you in the most respectful way possible.. not only did I just learnt the stuff, I actually applied the TRIAD theory and sort of explored and made music confidently...
Just want to thank you, certainly you know how to make people understand complex stuff easily.

I play guitar from 18 years old to 35 and then head injury to a finger on my left hand. At 43 years old they decided to pick up the guitar again play left handed. Thankfully, in some sense, I am left-handed but starting over has been discouraging. However, this time around instead of noodling for 17 years I’ve learned and memorized all the notes on the freeboard. I’ve been practicing my triads so this could not have come at a better time for me. I am really focusing on learning theory this time around. Love your channel. It is extremely helpful.

Great Lesson Chris, you'really make this stuff easy to enjoy, easier than anyone else I've tried; thanks:

I definitely appreciate your teaching style and practical use application. I found you thru the Marty music channel

So what is the studio you talked about? And the triad mastery class.

Love triads… find new ones all the time just noodling around. Thanks for this!

Love the triads once again you have taken me to another level thank you

Awesome lesson! Very useful!

Chris, I accidentally installed an ad-blocker on my guitar and now I can only play melodies! It even calls double-stops "diads" and won't let me play them. What do I do? 😁

Have a beautiful week!

100% foundational work. I wish someone would have taught me this at 14, instead of unlocking it in my 40's! Glad to know I'm not the only one who talks to myself, lol.

I once owned a chord book as thick as a dictionary. All it ever did was gather dust, the thought of trying to memorize literally thousands of chord shapes was too daunting.

Thanks to Chris Sherland, that book is still gathering dust, simply because I don’t need it at all. By learning the Major Triad, Chris showed me that I can build pretty much any chord I need.
