Triads. You need to know them. Sometimes it's a bit of a chore to work on them. I came up with this little piece to give you a workout for your major triad shapes in all inversions across all the string sets. Give it a try. Tab and backing track on Patreon. Gear info towards the end of the video. Thanks for watching.

(( Fun )) I smiled every time I seen that when I'd click back practicing that tune. I worked on this for a while and it really helped with visualizing on the neck. Charts make since until you actually do it on the fretboard where it all looks the same. I've also been trying to wrap my hands and head around soloing through a progression, so this was perfect.

Hi Adrian, I love your videos. You're a great teacher. In this case, I think it would be helpful to show diagrams as you are speaking so that it's easier to visualize the triads and recognize the various inversions. Thanks for all of your good work!

I've been trying to memorize them through chord progression without much success, then your vid lands and KAPOW! Holy tintinnabulation Batman

Cheers sir. I never really used C shape chords much. Now I do.

Thank you for this Triad Etude, I spent a couple of hours practicing this! I kept in mind to follow your advice to strive to play this as perfectly as I could manage. I did not focus on speed, but rather focused on trying my best to play as accurately and as cleanly as I could while maintaining proper form and staying on pace with a metronome.

Wonderful lesson Adrian!!!

That's one of the best triad exercises I've found. Cheers!

This was incredibly helpful. I've been playing for 15 years and never took the proper time to learn anything about triads until now. Thanks Adrian!

Triads are great, and a lot of people underestimate them. I'm a pianist mostly but learning triads on the guitar has not only helped me make sense of the fretboard, it's also helped me figure out how to do things that even some of my real guitarist friends don't know how to do.
