@@UltraMonable It also took me some time to understand that. The Csus4 shape = Fsus2. Okay so let's assume you have learned the Csus4 shape. Now you play a song which only goes C to F. You could play the Csus4 shape all the time and then only would change between Csus4 and Fsus2. *If you dont know what a fourth is the keyword is "intervalls" which is the foundation of western music and a understanding of this will improve your playing tremendously.

@mon productions the sus4 and sus2 chords are inversions of each other. If we have C (1) F (4) G (5) and we put it in first inversion we have F (1) G (2) and C (5). I show how this relates to the guitar in my latest video!

Thanks for publishing this very important lesson, Rick! One of the great little "secrets" in the ambient/new age genre to create widest soundscapes is literally "expanding" (spreading) the chords. Glad you are such a huge Pat Metheny fan & proponent - I've been a fan since "New Chautauqua" so we share this 6 string hero, lol. Hope you can get Pat as a guest on the show someday!

@antoniomariano37974 жыл бұрын
Hi Rick, great lesson as usual! As a way of organizing all the different shapes (3 inversions x 4 types of triads) I like to start from the shape of an augmented triad, as for that one the tonic could be any of the notes, and then lower the 5th, 3rd and 5th again to derive the shapes of the major, minor and diminished triads for the same tonic. Clearly which note is the 3rd and 5th follows from the choice of the tonic. The same approach works for the "closed" triads.

This is something I've put a lot of work into lately. After watching one of Tim Pierce's excellent videos about the same subject, I've started to look for chord-shapes all around the neck, and playing with and around those. I've only dvelved into basic minor and major harmonies for now, bit this has already done wonders familiarizing me with my neck, understanding scales and harmony-knowledge. If only I knew this when I started playing, my solos wouldn't have sucked as much the last 20 years! Great video as usual Rick. Thanks for all the lessons, and take care in these strange times we live in.

Not knowing anything about his methods, just enjoyed his music, I realized how integral triads were to his playing. I could hear it. I didn't need to see tabs or sheet music (not that I can read either one), I could hear it. May be no big deal to some, but it was a cool "ah ha" moment for me.

WOA - I think some people who play guitar (youngish males in particular) have extremely large, extremely fragile egos, and find it painful to be reminded that the one thing they've pinned their illusion of superiority on, guitar playing, is much, much more complex than they initially imagined, and this realization hurts. And they're confronted with it again and again on the internet. For some people, a phrase like "If you can incorporate these... into your playing, it will make your playing so much more interesting" in tandem with Rick's obvious command of his instrument and music theory, translates into "the guitar chops you thought you had are meaningless and trivial". Of course, this is not the author's intent! So instead of seeing this video as a huge clue as to improve their playing (offered for free!), they see it as a reminder of how far they still have to go to have the skills they wish they already had. Hence the dislikes. Just a guess.
