Triad Chords #3of3 (Guitar Lesson CH-008) How to play

[k2c3po01]

thank you



[eccezzziunalo]

more helpful than tons of books around

[shirvy]

I absolutely love these triad lessons man, jus subscribed and will definitely be using your site from now on, cheers!

[thesmuuuuggh]

This is seriously fantastic. Really easy to learn.

[AnakiAlive]

I'm a beginner, but I understood pretty early on that I didn't have a need to tune in standard. I usually play through distortion, and dyads and simple triads sound best througn distortion. I have no use for chords bigger than that. LOL. I've tuned my guitar to perfect 4ths (DGCFA#D#, which I call Owsla), to make chords and scales completely consistent.

Anyway, for all my experimenting, I hadn't considered how easy it is to play entire progressions ACROSS the strings. Thanks. :D

[verandahs01]

thanks mate, i should have watched this vid before asking about minor, sus etc (asked when watching no. 2). thanks again. heard a story on the ABC the other day about a cure for the Tassie Devil fascial tumor maybe 2 years away...cheers mate

[JordanKing1995]

Thanks for the video, i'm kind of understanding it, just a little bit confused but i'll understand it abit better in a few days.

Anyway, does this help for soloing ?

and when you're making a solo up, are you only supposed to use the notes that are in the chord thats being played ? like if a G chord was getting played then should it only be G B and D notes that the lead guitar plays until it changes chord, then the notes changes to whatever notes are in the next chord ?

Please Reply !

Thanks !

[107honda]

Thanks Justin well done !!!!!!

[voicesinmehead]

would it be safe to say im rushing if im not only trying to understand what your saying, but also trying to get to grips with what a 3rd and 5th is at the same time?

[InLaciered]

Very useful set of lessons. (: I enjoy my newfound knowledge

[trabwd]

Thanks for the lessons, got me inspired again, I've got the attention span of a cockerspaniel so the short visual theory lessons really help! ....now, where am I?

[Bsaunsthebest]

This lesson is a must for all lead guitarist's in indie bands! Add some delay to this, and your set!!!

[newjonatan]

once again you help me out, these triad vids were really helpfull and made me understand these triad chords =]

many thanks

[beatsn2veg]

Cheers Justin - really clear & helpful vid.

[pg232323]

triads done! cheers :D

[personaltip]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Very nicely dohe Justin. Great teacher. I really appreciate what you did. I am going to your website right now. Be blessed

[zalorthethird]

thanks man! helped me out a lot. i like your website too btw.

[haazy34]

Justin, great job & a wealth of information. I've been playing for over 20 years & never bothered to learn this, I basically picked it all up in the time that your 3 part series was finished, I play with a lot of folks who use this method but I always thought it would be too hard to learn, you made it easy & you made my day, month & years to come!!! Keep doin what you do, I can't wait to see more!!

[moshpit199]

You rock! Everything is starting to click

[jondanet]

Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison is a great song to work these triads on.

[explosivejohnny]

i love how the lesson is organized! genius! the first two are nicely paced and step by step and then the last one not only reviews everything but contextualizes it and makes it easy to remember.

the last video is perfect to review the lesson as a whole and is also a great shortcut for slightly more advanced players to kind of speed through a lesson without missing anything.

this is really a great service to all of us who are trying to cultivate our understanding of music. thank you, justin!!

[jazza2009uk]

Hi Justin I am new to the guitar and love your videos your great at explaining how things work, I perticularly like this video as I am finding it hard to shape a normal open C chord can I substitute the C with one of these C's you showed on here to make it easier to play or at least until my left hand gets stronger thanks mate

Jason

[NearlyNormalSteve]

Keep working on the regular C, you will get it and there are times you will need it. If you can make an Am, practice shifting from the Am to the C by just moving the one finger.

[AaronCantDance]

thanks for lessons, mate!

i seriously appreciate you putting them up for free.

cheers

[Yoroichi19]

YOur newfound trial skills :DD

we just leveled up

[058279941]

GOD OF YOUTUBE!

[JaMaph]

I just want to say thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. This is invaluable to my song writing.

Also nice bit at the end about Subscribing to your channel. I hit it right away as I had almost forgot! Good videos!

[blockhead2210]

Thnx justin, ur a legend, best teacher online.

[oreodontist]

This 'triad' of lessons on the triad were inspiring. The minor chords are actually even easier than the major. I found myself doing some instant reggae mixing the majors nd minors. THANKS!!

One note: sometimes those of us who play an accoustic skip over lessons when the lesson shows an electric. This triad use is great for accoustic...but more down the neck from the tenth fret or so to the first fret. Playing anything on the 13th of my accoustic has all the musical sound of a dead stick..

[MOSKII58]

as a guitar player we must play rhythm most of the time to know how different chord voicings are used in recorded music. he calls them shapes, they are voicings or really they are inversions, 1st inversion might be "C" shape, 2nd inversion might be "D" shape. note that each inversion/shape has its own sound

very important, when trying to learn songs, ever wonder why the chord you are playing sounds ok but not quite right?

different inversions../positions/voicing­s/shapes all the same

[DayTripperLennon]

great lesson Justin.

[adynik]

realy.....cool that help alot

[juhertra]

thnx dude, ir really realy helped allot !!!!!

[MarquisPV]

thnx alot, i found all of this the right mix of music theory and practical demonstration.

[muxammle]

its amazing what you can you with triads i was always wondering about the song fall into place by the dreamers apartment and now its so easy !

The best teacher in the world ! JUSTIN thnx a lot

[cobracarg]

the minor ones are really easy...most of the shapes come from the barre chords but except of strumming the whole chord you just strum the thinnest three strings...

[xsabhishek]

gr8 lesson...i m so happy n excited with all the new info..now my neighbours wont be able to sleep all night.. haha :)

[ramonehr]

now I've realised that ''Island in the sun'' from Weezer main riff are triads...Knew that riff before but never knew what are triads :-)

[ramonehr]

thank you so much , you helped me so much really.

[mohitsingh009]

one doubt....

you showd different pattern of triads on thinnest 3 strings...i'm wondering if there can be other string with these three notes...wld thy b triads.??

possibility like using 6 5 4 strings..

or 5 4 3....or 4 3 2......shld i learn other pattern on these strings...or juss stick to what u've taught...kindly reply...

[mohitsingh009]

you'r fabulous.... if i not came across to this lesson then the thing wld have beeen different today....

i m following you frm the first day that i bot my guitar....and i must say u'r so decent and nice human being..all my best wishes with you..tc

[justjames1111]

Great lesson as always, keep on truckin' J.

Regards

Jim

[nazgoulis]

thanks a lot justin

[de7con]

I think I managed to turn the major triads to minor.

The first shape goes a full barre on the root note, meaning the middle finger goes one fret back. (B goes back to a B flat in the case of a G chord)

The 2nd shape, which looks like the D shape, goes exactly like a D minor chord, meaning the B goes to a B flat again (in case of a G chord, of course)

3rd shape, goes like a "stair" kind of thing, meaning, again, the B goes to a B flat in case of a G chord.

Thank you, Justin!

[de7con]

Great lesson Justin.

I was playing Weezer's Island in the sun, and I couldn't explain the chords that I'm using to my friends, but now I can, thank you Justin, great lesson as always!

[nandishnagraj]

its really gettin into me

[glitchystudios]

great lesson

[josephnuroho]

this is the first time i understand online lessons man.... great vid...great teacher....

keep it up justin!!

[puppetsofsociety007]

excellent lesson!!! I was staring at them ladies, then got excited and broke a string heheheh

[AndrewCopland]

This is the first time I have watched a "how to" video on YouTube and actually understood and will be using the information taught! Justin, thanks heaps mate... keep 'em coming!

[SorryRainbow]

"especially if there's a nice girl around you want to look at" ahaha,

you're my idol :D

[lookylooky2006]

so then is using the triads better than the full chord would it lead to better soloing?

thanks

[mallamoozoo]

Its not about the soloing - its just about getting a different "flavour" of the same chord - lighter feel as it doesnt use the base strings. (Try that reggae thing he did with full chords to hear the difference.)

[Abs9106]

GREAT LESSON JUSTIN!!!!

THIS IS ONE OF UR BEST LESSONS DEFO!!!

i understand much more on musical theory now, thanks!!

[rengersijtsma]

Hey Justin,

Greetings from the Netherlands. Some great lessons. I subscribed inmediatelly. And also forwarded a link to my guitarteacher.. he could copy some of your approaches because they are more clear to me ;-)

[Magermus]

youre the best teacher ive ever had justin:) keep it up, you put up great stuff

[legendarytdog]

i acidentaly pressed the thums down sorry but ur a huge help thx :)

[mdc820]

Of Course you know everything already though. Triads part 2. Thanks again for all the videos. When you hit the brick wall its great when new stuff comes out

[mdc820]

Amazing You can also go across the neck also so ton of triads thanks again

[1carp]

These were amazing lessons Justin. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into them.

[Colinh1990]

great lesson, we have the same computer :D

[49skate]

Now some minor triads!

[kartwood]

Thanks a lot for this Justin! I just discoverd that a great piece to play along with to get the feel of the triads from this lesson is: "Get Together" by The Youngbloods.

[snowersnower]

i like how you simply stuff really simple sometimes its a little too simple but for begginners thats really good thanks justin for the awsome lessons

[sbryant328]

Justin is the best teacher on the net!!!

[elmikan]

the best on the earth, I guess :)

[Vimesisdaman]

SPOILER ALERT!!!:

Not really a 'spoiler' per se but I've done part of the homework Justin gives at the end of the lesson and here's what I think are the minor triad shapes and what chords you can make with them in the 1st area.

222 gives Gm; 543 gives Cm and 231 gives Dm which most of us will know already.

I found these lessons quite easy 'cos I'm doing the first part of Justin's theory course which is really good. Anyone else found the minor triads? Do you concur?

[AfterMidnightRider]

333 is Gm, 222 is F#/Gb minor

[Vimesisdaman]

Hell, I meant 333 not 222. G is of course the root note on the third fret of the 1st string.

[coderblues]

Another good lesson Justin.

[JustMe8485]

Justin, I was at the bookstore today, found this magazine, I think it was called "Music Maker" or something like that, and the cover mentioned something about "music lessons online," so I checked out the article, and you're totally featured on it! Funny, I checked out the article, thinking "they better have mentioned Justin Sandercoe's lessons!" and I was right :)

Nice to know the stuff you do for us learners is recognized, 'cos it's definitely appreciated.

Keep jamming, and thanks bunches!

[JustinSandercoe]

love to know what the mag was called if you know!

Thanks everyone - glad ur all diggin it :)

J

[JustMe8485]

I think it was called "Music Maker," can't think of another name if there was one. Excuse my brain fart!

The article featured videos of different types of lessons online, from advanced to specialized lessons. Your videos were described as having "everything for everyone." Also had a link to your channel on it.

The cover had a man with a beard on it. It was a yellowish gold magazine cover. Maybe you'll find it in the UK? I'm all the way in Florida.

Thanks again for the generosity :)

[MrJackanthony]

@JustinSandercoe Hey Justin. I just want to thank for all your awesome lessons. and the fact that they are all free, well God bless you mate. Im only 16 but Ive been playing in worship teams since I was 10 and ever since Ive heard of your website Ive progressed so much. Thank you again. Im going to make sure I donate something as soon as Im legally enough to do so.

[narcosan]

Wow, this was such a great series of lessons and you made it so simple!

Also, I found out the minor triads :]

[Geko2006]

Thank you again Justin =)

[69nisab]

really good lesson. Appreciate your efforts, cheers.

[wachman]

don't think anyone has ever explained triads so easily to understand the way you have. thanks

[Topdoginuk]

Great lesson Justin.

People, Justin needs donations to keep these free lessons going. Do consider contributing if you are able. Too many sponging parasite freeloaders don't!

[achalaA]

I agree, today I will donate. I have been sponging for too long from Justin and it's not fair. I have learnt so much from you brother Justin. But how do I donate????

[DroehnIng]
