One question, I sortof get whats going on, but if i “Just memorize them all by heart, is it that important to know the math behind it for actual playing?
Awesome lesson. I’ve been taking lesson at my local guitar location and i’ve been telling my instructor that i need to see diagrams or whatever. He explains the theory but i never see anything on paper.. I have watch all of your lessons..Thanks so much….It all makes perfect sense….
please continue the lessons they are helping more than you know. thanks
After months of trying to get my head around how triads fit on the fretboard,this visual interpretation is fantastic!!!, I had it all sussed in a couple of hours!!!
why DFG is not a major chord , dint D F# G is suposed to be the minor.
I undestand everyting but that
D to F is a minor 3rd
great video!! keep em coming!
im impressed very good.excellent teacher. you make it clear and right to the point.i now understand triads. thx sir.
I wish you were around when I was learning to play the guitar. I ‘ve been stumblin around in the dark for the last 30 years and it’s only now that the light has been turned on.
Great lesson + excellent presentation!!
excellent lesson and great presentation! explaining it while drawing all over the diagram is a very effective learning method.
I will recommend these to others.
triads and chords progression was always elluding my music theory .after all these years and thanks to you and to your excellent schematics , i now understand the chords progression .and now i truly can say :” between me and my brother , we know everything ”

Great lesson on triads – I like your schematic… very easy to follow.
Thank you .This is a wonderful post .Very helpful and slow enough even for me to follow.Thank you so much!. I could listen to your voice all day. There is very relaxing quality about it.
I can listen to this guy talk all day. He has a very pleasant voice.
Good info – I needed to stick with it, but got it.
Your voice really drops down low, though. Better if you get closer ot the mike and use your “stage voice.”
Thanks for posting. I’ll checkyour other lessons.
One of the better lessons on youtube. Something I learned from!
Thankyou,This is the best instructional approach i`ve come across.Please keep posting your videos.

what about the minor scale? when you play blues, for example, you also use 1 45 sequence but whats the difference ?
