  • Really, really, cool stuff! Thanks so much!

  • wow man thanx alot for this video/ i thought i wouldnt get it but after drawing it out and mapping out the notes i understand it/and ur triad video should be watche before this i suggest/the triad video helped me understand which scale it is:) thanx

  • its whole whole half whole whole whole half

  • bleh :(

  • i love the way he says picture, 'the big picture!'

  • Not meaning to "nit pick", but when you drew the perimeter around those three notes that for all practical purposes was not a triad.

    Otherwise, keep up the good work, I like your stuff.

  • why not

  • It is impossible to get a triad there. Even though those are notes (all 3 that were circled) you can not get 3 notes to make up the triad because 2 of the notes are on the same string...you can't fret them both at the same time. A triad has to be built on at least 3 different strings, it's physically impossible to fret 2 notes on the same string at the same time.

    In defence of the Author, it's simply an over-looked error on his side...he does a great job in explaining triads!

  • lol you're right, now i feel stupid hahaha

  • Actually their is no error here

    there are minor and major and dimished scales there/in this video he is show all the spots/if u new any thing about scales u would see the triads right away/u have to find the scales first dumb ass/and if u look at his other videos he shows u the triads/and they are in this vdeo as well so maybe watch all of his videos before judging

  • @Oldhat1970 Yeah. My bad. Must be getting old.

  • @tortoiseutube Nah that happens to people of any age man :)! I noticed the mistake because I was paying attention to your other videos :)! Thanks so much for your videos, I'm lucky to have found them!

  • hmm I didn't understand it much but it helped me out cause I started playing random notes like on the e string which is the sixth string i was playing fret 1 and slided my finger down to 3 then to 1 then to 5 to 1 to 3 to 1 to 5 and atleast I'm learning something :)

  • im sorry its not u its me but uuuuuhhhhh i dont have a clue what this is?

  • it's the 1st BIG piece of the puzzle in music that fits everything together that's what this is hahaha and probably why you don't understand it....music is all about shapes and formations and patience, the sound is just the reward you reap out of it...for taking the time to learn it all. Welcome tot he world of music my friend..the journey is long and the way is narrow.

  • I think learning the circle of fourths and fifths is useful, I also recommend learning the scale on one string like

    R(root)-W-W-H-W-W-W-H on one string, H=half W=whole, Half=one fret, Whole=2 frets

    FYI:

    Fifths=152-6374

    Fourths=147-3652

  • thats true.

  • Hello, I'm a teacher too (digital imaging) and simply want to say that you are patient, clear and generous (to put a lot of time for beginners). Much appreciated! You have the best tuts on youtube!!!

  • Fourths = 1 4 7 3 6 2 5

  • hi there, my name is nestor bernes from california, i've definetly missed some of those essential and important steps that you discussed on the first video. i was wondering what are all those dots on the fret board???? plz help me, i only play tabs and chords never picked up on scales. plz help me.

    thank you

  • It's the C Major scale (all the natural notes with no sharps or flats) mapped out over the fretboard.

    Hope that helps. :)

  • whats with the chimes or bells in the background

  • Email arriving. :)

  • excellent.best insructional guitar video on thetube for those who have started to gain alittle confidence

  • oops. So I did. Thanks for that.

  • At 1:52 you drew a triad that I believe is not correct! Not good for beginners... Please fix! Otherwise I found the video leaving me thirsting for more. Bob.

  • Yees. That was C, G and A i think..

    C, E and G is the C major triad.
