A Simple Way To Learn Triads On Guitar [By Shape & By Position]

In this video, you learn all about triads on guitar, and how they will totally transform the way you play chords on the instrument.
Triads open up the fretboard to you as far as playing chords are concerned, and will provide you with much greater scope when playing rhythm guitar parts.
In this lesson, you learn the major and minor triads on the top 3 strings of the guitar. You will first learn each shape in isolation, before being shown 2 key ways to train triads so you know instantly where they are on the fretboard:
1. By Shape
First, you learn how to voice a chord progression with each triad shape, one at a time
2. By Position
Next, you learn how to voice a progression with a mix of triad shapes that allow you to stay in the same position on guitar
Both training methods combined will ensure you get the triad chord shapes down so you can easily use them in your own guitar playing.

This approach is much less confusing. I often skip and have over the years. Honestly, for someone who really struggled but has a ridiculous passion it's been the penny drop moment for me, I can even recognise that elusive B string much clearer and I haven't even begun lol.

I have been using inversions for years, but not really understanding the underlying mechanics of it, just learned a couple of shapes that had inversions and the rest you just know when it sounds right, but that is limiting. I always fall back to the familiar ones (kind of like acoustic players do with the cowboy chords). This is fantastic. You provide the shape, but also the underlying reason for the shapes and how to adapt that to different keys and chord progressions. I look forward to practicing this and incorporating it into more of my performances. Can't wait to watch some more videos from you. Thank you!

It seems the way you are explaining the triads, they might work well for blending both together. Thank you much.

@@acousticguitarlessons With the shape that bars the B and E, say on the fifth fret, then fret the G string at the sixth fret, gives an A, and completes the triad. That's what the lesson demonstrated. But I noticed I can use the D string at the 7th fret, and it makes a beautiful A. So that form is movable and you get an extra root note at the lowest position. I understand it's not a triad and the root note appears twice. My jazz friend tells me that doubling any note is a mistake. Do you agree? For me, I like fretting the D string, to either use, or fret so that I'm safe if my strumming misses a bit. In this example, I could have three A's, or, I could include the base open E string.

Thank you Simon for your videos on using triads. I'm trying to learn them as you say by "position" where the three triads of any key are in close proximity to each other so I don't have to jump up and down the neck. This is a refreshing change from always using root 6 & 5 bar chords. I know the triads of the 3,2,1 strings and 4,3,2 strings but didn't know how to do triads on the 6,5,4 strings and the 5,4,3 strings until watching your triad videos. I could not find that anywhere without getting confused. Your triad videos really eliminated my confusion by explaining the three ways of learning triads by shape, by position and by vertical movement. No one has explained it like that which is why I was so confused. Craig Ewinger

Very well Illustrated and great for beginners because it's not so overwhelming. Between this and learning the cage system people will really gain a lot of knowledge

Really great lesson! My greatest tip for others is to have a basic knowledge of the notes of the fretboard. It is the most recent lesson I've learned and what I've been practicing for the past week. And now knowing the triads complements that knowledge really well. It helps learning the fretboard more, and that helps me in locating these triads. Really mind blown as a beginner!

Crystal clear explanation, this is opening a whole new world. Thank you. 6 shapes for major and minor, per group of 3 consecutive strings. The combine that to express myself using variations from the classic chords. That's amazing. Very Big thank you. I have hours of work and experiment on the pipe now.
