In this video, you learn how to create better solos on guitar using triads.
Triads are great for seriously expanding your chord playing, however, they are equally as good for expanding your soloing on the instrument as well.
In this lesson, you learn the difference between fretting triad shapes on the guitar for playing rhythm parts and visualising the shapes for lead guitar playing.
You also learn 3 approaches to creating great solos using the triad chord shapes.
Triad Soloing Approach 1:
- First, you learn how to outline a chord progression using triads
Triad Soloing Approach 2:
- Next, you learn how to approach the notes of a triad a half step above or below creating smoother solo lines
Triad Soloing Approach 3:
- Finally, you learn how to add notes from the scale to broaden the scope of your sound when soloing on guitar

I can't stress it enough, it is SO amazing to have this amount of "humbleness" while giving a lesson... You kept doing simple thing because, you public IS doing simple things on guitar since we listening to your videos.. When I want to learn something, I often fall on teachers that at every 2min, go over the top to "show off" what can be achieved after 20 years of practicing...This always throw to my face how far I am to this expert level....

Thanks. I did find this one and am studying it. I play electric guitar and would appreciate it, as I think many guitar players would to have a similar lesson with triads on the high 3 strings. this I think would be great for soloing on electric. Love how clear you are in your lessons. Thanks, Gary

The simplicity of this lesson makes one of the best on triads! You keep it easy to follow and in small steps at a time. (Agree on exactly everything @gillosp99 said btw) But one thing - for me (as a relative beginner learning the CAGED system) I got a little confused at 14:33 when you introduced the scale surrounding the triad of C - because, I thought you were going to show us the "E shape" major scale here, from which the C triad comes? I mean, I know what modes are, but did not see modes coming into this lesson.

@acousticguitarlessons 8 ай бұрын

@tomask.3983, thanks and glad you like the lesson. Regarding your question, you could play the "E" shape major scale with this triad for a C major sound (I don't use the CAGED system, but I know what you mean), but you could also play the C Mixolydian scale too for a dominant sound. This is because the C Major triad is part of both C Major and C Mixolydian. I have quite a few videos on modes if you want to check them out and learn more: kzfaq.info/sun/PLJXtMWIq5iFRItE8-aLLm2rQS54rHKQuM

Could we have a lesson about using these techniques to apply to country music? I guess what I’m asking for is some samples of country licks out of the triads

I’ve been seeing many ads whenever I watch a guitar video, they’re all mentioned that don’t need to learn blablabla but one 7 string pattern to unlock the entire fretboard. Do you think that’s possible or bs😅😂

@acousticguitarlessons Жыл бұрын

Yes, that is the best way to unlock the fretboard as far as 3 note per string scales are concerned. It's one 7 string sequence that keeps repeating and each 3 note per string scale is a 6 string segment of this sequence if that makes sense?

Which scale are you referring to for filling out the triads? Is it mixolydian?

@acousticguitarlessons 10 ай бұрын

@thomasmortimer3545, yes it is the Mixolydian scale following the chords of a blues in C, so C Mixolydian for C7, F Mixolydian for F7, and G Mixolydian for G7. Hope that makes sense :)

For the third way, were you using the c scale for all the triads? Or did you change scales depending on the triad? (F for F and G for G?) ~thank you

@acousticguitarlessons Жыл бұрын

I followed the changes. All triads are in the key of C, so the F and G triads have notes that belong to C major. So no scale change, all notes are coming from C Major. However, I am playing the corresponding triad/arpeggio to match the chord at the time, so as you say, F triad when the F chord occurs, G triad when the G chord occurs. Does that make sense V W?
