very helpful, thank  you

[davebenz]

Quite informative.

[downhill240]

Very nice lesson!

[verypeachy1]

Are those notes always major or minor? For example, if it's a D scale, is it still a D minor, or does it become a D major? If so, does the triad shape stay a minor shape?

[tortoiseutube]

@verypeachy1 The triads always follow the same order... maj, mi, mi maj, maj, mi, dim for whatever MAJOR scale/key you use.E.g, move the whole thing up 2 frets and you'll have the triads for D major scale/key.

The important thing to realize is that the order of triads is always the same. It's where you ,move them to that changes the key.

Does that help?

[verypeachy1]

@tortoiseutube Oh, I get it now. Thanks!

[bethmontecillo]

really amazing!!!!......

[fireco52]

Real good stuff..... i am an engineer and like the orderly charts and explainations

[TheNewsoul2]

for the first time in 15 years i finally understand major and minor chord progressions thanx for the upload tortiseutube

[BigBillsdiggs]

Wow! you sure give good lessons. I read the books and get confused but you make it more understandable. Please keep up the good work. I'm sure you have a lot of followers.

[tclf]

what about the minor scale? when you play blues, for example, you also use 1 45 sequence but whats the difference ?

[tortoiseutube]

@tclf @tclf The quick answer is that the 'minor' scale is the same as the major scale. Uses the exact same notes. Not enough space to explain here. Go to my website and subscribe. I'll teach you all about it.

I IV V of ANY KEY is the most common/basic song writing sequence in western music, whether it be major or minor. The key is where the harmonic center (think the tonic/root of the chord) of the sequence. If this is Cmaj chord C would be tonic. In a maj key if you look at all the chords(triads) you can place those chords in C the see maj scale. DEFetc. use those tonics with their triads Dm(DF#A) NOTICE Dmaj(DFA) wait F# not in Cmaj scale but F is in music theory we use Dm in Cmaj bc share notes

[tamedturtle85]

Dm(DFA) Dmaj(DF#A) sorry mixed up the triads. However, the notes in Cmaj CDEFGABC are the same notes in Dm. Dmaj has a F# which is NOT in Cmaj. If you are playing a song in C and you played a Dmaj chord that F# would easily stand out and sound like poop to your ear, however, that Dm will sound great becuase the notes are the same as Cmaj. See the pattern? Dont think of music keys as different music is the same it just depends where your tonic is you will see how its all related.

[tamedturtle85]

@tclf Sorry for lengthy posts very tough concepts gonna take u a minute to ponder it because it should this is thick shit so dont feel intimidated. But theory is just patterns I enjoy discussing it, I didnt get to your blues question but dont get hung up on keys right now learn your octaves and scales then you can make easily make chords anywhere. After you get that then try putting all those chords into keys. Hope this helps Blues think (1b35b7) in the any scale makes dom7 chords, more later

[tamedturtle85]

@tamedturtle85 Haha that minor7 my bad see i still get confused its (135b7) is maj dominate 7

[slopokio]

great instruction!! I really enjoy your method. many thanks!!

[dafusion]

OMG after all this time playing guitar it just clicked. why couldn't anyone explain it in this mathematical way as you have! Pictures work!. Thank you totoiseutube you are a genius!.

[Dakamum]

Beautiful lesson... I like it so much.

[SUPAAMANI]

man, kick ass lessons, clear and crisp explanations, cheers mate, im from nz too

[JMJ339]

Thanks for your time!!!!!!! very helpful !!!!! I wish took this road 25years ago when I started... I was dragged down it but took a lot of left and rights....All I wanted to do is play and I have been. mostly by ear... But now I am finding out what and why???? Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!

[cazstro]

excellent

[garpprag1]

Thankyou,This is the best instructional approach i`ve come across.Please keep posting your videos.

[Landerkuh]

One of the better lessons on youtube. Something I learned from!

[KutWrite]

Good info - I needed to stick with it, but got it.

Your voice really drops down low, though. Better if you get closer ot the mike and use your "stage voice."

Thanks for posting. I'll checkyour other lessons.

[TheJetfighter666]

I can listen to this guy talk all day. He has a very pleasant voice.

[TheJetfighter666]

Thank you .This is a wonderful post .Very helpful and slow enough even for me to follow.Thank you so much!. I could listen to your voice all day. There is very relaxing quality about it.

[GuitarTipsWeekly]

Great lesson on triads - I like your schematic... very easy to follow.

[kuwidawka]

great lesson 5/5

[noka2004]

triads and chords progression was always elluding my music theory .after all these years and thanks to you and to your excellent schematics , i now understand the chords progression .and now i truly can say :" between me and my brother , we know everything " :)

[bobert13581]

excellent lesson and great presentation! explaining it while drawing all over the diagram is a very effective learning method.

I will recommend these to others.

[tractorbooty15]

I wish you were around when I was learning to play the guitar. I 've been stumblin around in the dark for the last 30 years and it's only now that the light has been turned on.

Great lesson + excellent presentation!!

[beachboytriad]

im impressed very good.excellent teacher. you make it clear and right to the point.i now understand triads. thx sir.

[fahimmurshed]

great video!! keep em coming!

[pliskinn0089]

why DFG is not a major chord , dint D F# G is suposed to be the minor.

I undestand everyting but that

[SemiTall]

D to F is a minor 3rd

[sparkyknees]

After months of trying to get my head around how triads fit on the fretboard,this visual interpretation is fantastic!!!, I had it all sussed in a couple of hours!!!

[PooperMan311]

please continue the lessons they are helping more than you know. thanks

[HofmeisterSJ]

Awesome lesson. I've been taking lesson at my local guitar location and i've been telling my instructor that i need to see diagrams or whatever. He explains the theory but i never see anything on paper.. I have watch all of your lessons..Thanks so much....It all makes perfect sense....

[JHLittleWing]

absolutely amazing lesson. this finally helped me understand chord construction, triads, chord progressions and arpeggio shapes for my sweeping all in 10 minutes

[tortoiseutube]

Good to see someone 'getting it'. Well done. :)

[varnlestoff]

Thanks, was pretty confusing but I am sure it will be alot easier to understand when I master the letters down the scale

[varnlestoff]

One question, I sortof get whats going on, but if i "Just memorize them all by heart, is it that important to know the math behind it for actual playing?

[Saelkar]

brilliant

[mmkeaton]

Will you make the fun pratice video you talked about for triads!THX MITCH...

[Sneye]

Thank you for this lesson I learned a lot from it its the best chord theory lesson of the first few i;ve found have a good day

[chidori730]

Thank you so much, you are a vary,vary good teacher. You explain the chords and how they are made up and function as simply as possible. I've had so much trouble understanding them and thought I might just stick with scales, but thanks ever so much.

[mianiamh]

Cheers again, Having watched your pentatonic confusion video i have actively sought you out to see what else is there. Although I am not up to speed with this i can follow your logical explanations well done. I am away to look for more.

[kentlindsay]

Wow, finding these videos has changed my whole approach to learning guitar. You've given us a logical and orderly system of finally getting these triads together! Each day I spend at least an hour on a new key thanks to you!

Are you going to post the Second Inversion Triad lesson some day, or am I just missing it?

Thank you for making this stuff so clear.

[tortoiseutube]

Yeas, I will do that sometime.

But you can work them out yourself, you know.

The inversion is: G C E. G is 3rd string, C is 2nd string 1st fret. E is 1st string.

Now, just move each of those notes up to the next note in the scale.

Does that help? :)

[xxCtrlAltCrashxx]

i love you... :D thank you so much.. its clear easy, great illustrations, 5 /5 good job mate

[pookiecatblue]

That was very excellent! Thank you.

[tubejogger]

Great Lesson. Clear and simple. Many thanks for your great videos.

[ycuy]

It was a good lesson I always called them root positon then 1st and 2nd inversion. I think you explained it very well. Thanks

[tortoiseutube]

Yeah... I think that's preferable too.

[skatingpo]

I thank you for all your lessons they are very helpful love to see more

[chriscuniah]

This is brilliant - very clearly explained. You are a very good teacher. I have learned a lot by just watching your video. Thank you.

[Feesharp9er]
