I’ve been playing for 35 years, and this is the first theory lesson I’ve understood since Mel Bay Book 1.

Playing the G D Em C with a variety of Root, first inversion, and second inversion is a quite satisfying. And the idea of practicing within this as a limitation makes it an exercise in mindfulness.

I also discovered about 3 fragments of Phish songs hiding in there. I can see immediately that they’re all there somewhere.

Thank you.

[SkrapsView]

Tried this before but now I am ready to triad again

[nomandad]

I love how he makes you feel like he’s talking directly to you. It’s like getting a real private lesson!

Tomo, I'm a lifelong piano player, but only started guitar when I retired. Your lessons about learning guitar apply to just about every other thing. Limit the area you're learning and focus, have fun while learning, stop, drink a beer and be happy. And you're a comedy genius like Mr. Bean. Thank you, GT Sipe

[Gypsy-D]

About 2 years ago this would have been Greek to me!!! I am so thankful that I found this Guitar Journey thing again and practicing and learning the right way, thanks to Tomo, Andy Guitar, Steve Stein and the man that I follow the most and have learned my theory from, Mr. Justin Sandercoe at Justin Guitar! Thank-you very much to all!!! Triads is the next on the board for theory and practice. E-shaped and A-Shaped barre are priority for me right now. Rock on all!!!!

[TooLooze]

What a superb teaching method. I'm 73, have played for 60 years, and have never been so impressed and inspired.

[SilverthorneA]

Tomo is right on the money about how important triads are. I think these should be taught at the same time as scales very early on in some ones playing.

[guitarman]

Great lesson. Big takeaway is don’t overwhelm yourself trying to learn everything at once. Zone in, learn one thing thoroughly then move on. Small steps. Thanks Tomo.

[randallmorgan]

I’m 61 years old and still eager to learn something new every day. Thank you for keeping me enthused Tomo!

[Jack.Waters]

I just had a HUGE 💡 moment thanks to Master Tomo.

I'm at 7th Fret with a Triangle G. 787.
I'm thinking okay. G chord is GBD.

Well then hit me upside the 877 is B and 775 is D ❗️❗️❗️

All right there nice and close.

Thanks for leading me to this result.

In my World the best intructors don't give us the answer, they lead is to it.

[bwedges]

This is the 1st video out of thousands out there that I actually understood. As a teacher of other fields, this is refreshing to see and you've inspired me to be a better teacher as well

[cchenkang]

Been playing the guitar for twenty years, until today this lesson finally open my mind, thanks a lots 🙏🏽

[powerhouse]

An actual, intelligent guitar teacher.

[nomad]

Thank you for your exceptional patience in posting such a detailed explanation of how to play major triads at a speed that us true novices at guitar can understand.

[brendanflaherty]

As a self-taught, by-ear/by-eye player (on guitar, at least), I have a near-terrifying disconnect between the theory I do know, and any real, tangible fretboard roadmap. So, for me, stuff like this starts to bridge that gap, and is VERY, very helpful. Thank you.

[jeromtablet]

I love watching your videos and always learn a lot

While watching this and playing the triads (I already knew how to play them but never understood the notes), I wrote down every position like this:

D triad

notes: A-D-F#

Root position

Root - M3rd - 5th
D - F# - A
do - mi - so

1st inversion

M3rd - 5th - Root
F# - A - D
mi - so - do

and did the same for the 2nd inversion and noticed how just moves forward! So easy and simple.

I usually don't write down stuff, but this definitely made things click and put 2 and 2 together for me. Thanks :)

it's great to learn from you Mr. Fujita, you're so passionate and since you're not completely explaining it you make me do the work and find out what's going on for myself haha!

[supasoul]

THIS tutorial is the clearest on the web ... Coupled with a fretboard map of all the triads !!! Daily Process !!! THANK U SO MUCH

[aidanandtyler]

Perfect guitar teacher… starts simple, seems very patient and supportive. Guitar is not an easy instrument and you cannot rush it.

[Jsrig]

Thank you, very good lesson. I was able to connect a lot of dots with this lesson. I really like your simple approach of staying focused and not worrying about all the noise.

[Steady]

I learned guitar by ear when I was younger, and it unfortunately hurt me as a musician. I never had a teacher to show me what I didn't know, so I was satisfied to play any song I heard and create by feel. I eventually realized that I was very limited, because I had no real understanding of how things fit together. Tomo has helped me map out how to rebuild my playing and thus be better at creating music. So grateful to him for being an inspired teacher, and for sharing it on the YouTube. Triads... who knew? (everyone but me, evidently - HA!)
