Jesus, I am so old and have been playing for a long time, but every time I watch one of your instructional videos I learn something new that is instantly playable. I would say that you should go back and be a professor again, but then again, you already did! And now you have a much bigger classroom. Hell yeah I bought the Beato Book, and I didn't even wait for a live stream to get a discount! I'm a fan.

Agreed as well. 34 years playing experience but I've been diving into as much theory as I can. As much as I felt I knew-some things weren't a surprise-, there were a ton of things I didn't know. Love discovering what I don't know. And much mahalos to Mr. Beato.

Great video Rick! Just a small mis-speak around 3:45ish when introducing the diminished triad you first say "one flat three five" but correct the rest of the time during the examples. just wanted to mention for anyone that may get confused learning this stuff for the first time! Thanks for all the great videos Rick!

Also remember that every sus4 is also a sus2 up a fourth, so by the time you have gotten your Csus4's down, you'll also have all the Fsus2 inversions free of charge! :)

Thanks a lot for sharing, would you mind clarifying yhe "up a fourth" please? I'm kind of new and didn't got that, would appreciate (:

@slammerton 4 жыл бұрын

@@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.

@njrous 4 жыл бұрын

@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! PS: Eric J is amazing too!

@antoniomariano3797 4 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.

@LodvarDude 4 жыл бұрын

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.

Stellar video, Rick! I am very grateful that you took your time to explain it to us with tabs and sheets. I do have one question: Maybe I did not understand it correctly, but shouldn't it say "root position" instead of "2nd inversion" at around 4:08? Could somebody please explain it to me? Thanks in advance.

I think that was just a typo, 2nd inversion usually refers to whenever the 5th is on the bottom, and he does talk about a root position triad with the visual with 2nd inversion

When I first learned about triads ( I said "about" them, not that I've ever "learned" them, lol) the light came on the next time I listened to Eric Johnson. 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.

I had little knowledge of music and your videos frustrated me and made me mad because I was just beginning and trying to learn the basics of the guitar. Then you did the Led Z video describing the sounds in Ramble On. You took the time to find out from the man who did the work how he did it and destroyed a myth that I had heard for years. I Bought Your Book After That! Thank you for what you do and could you do more beginner videos for your daughters and loyal followers. Mahalo!

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.
