Really interesting! While you make think the beginning review on triads was just a little “addition” - I think it was the best lesson on triads and inversions I have ever seen!

This channel needs lots more subscribers. Been playing for 25 years, some points professionally, and I understand several things better than ever. Great teaching.

Right, that's my next month of learning & woodshedding fully-booked! ;)

These really do sound pretty, the challenge has been set for me to attempt to learn them! Thanks Chris for another super lesson!!! :D

Triads are getting a bit easier to "see" on the fretboard.
I appreciate the lessons and insights, as always 🙏
Thank you

Great video as always Chris. You always find ways to make me look at the fretboard in a different way and your way of explaining is phenomenal.

Another big thank you Chris. This lesson has given me another breakthrough moment, allowing me to more easily find these beautiful open voice triads confidently. By really understanding how they are constructed I found It was easy to move from the closed triad major and minor triads, to their open voice versions, very freeing, and building on my understanding of the fretboard as a whole.
