In my experience, learning triads opened up the fretboard and my visual perception of it changed into something that I finally understood. Things were no longer a guessing game. I could improvise, moving between rhythm and lead a lot more fluidly, allowing me never to be "lost" on the fretboard.
Great lesson as always! 👍🏼👍🏼

How can you even dislike Marty’s videos, I have never seen a bad lesson or video here on this channel

[allkeysjamtracks]

Triads are super helpful in every aspect. Great lesson Marty

[CaptainKarma]

So basically people take the 3 note combos in open chords and just find where they’re up the neck and you’ve found the triads 💜

oh damn im really startin to get the hang of playing all over the neck properly, ive stagnated for a while, improving again feels so good

[SalmanSuhail]

Oh man. Pulling the triads out of the two bar chord shapes just saved me 10s of hours of memorization. Thank you so so much!!! This makes it so clear! 🎉

[RichardGuise]

Secretly introduced the CAGED system. Great lesson Marty! Thank you.

when I didnt know what these were called I called them the sexy chords

[joepregiato]

This is a perfect example of why Marty is so successful. I remember watching this video a couple years ago and it was a little over my head, but it’s perfect for my skill level now

Love how the guitar and the amp match your shirt! Nice attention to detail. Top notch my friend!🎸

Tried for years to teach myself triads but lost interest with constant failure. Now this has given me a new way of tackling it. Not only that but it helps to understand soloing. Thanks Marty. 🇬🇧👍

The song Free by Phish is this exact chord progression with these triads. This lesson really just tied it all together for me. Awesome!

[davidwassel]

One of the best lessons I have had. Recorded the Hey Joe chords, looped, and was busy doing this. LEARNED A LOT! Thanks Marty!

[psychopompology]

I've never understood this concept before although thanks to your help I pulled out the guitar and started to get it, before long i was preempting what you would do! Great teaching.

[MikeMountainHawkGourley]

Well as usual Marty, you take something that some teachers make into complication and confusion; and turn it into something simple to grasp and understand. Also something useful in many applications. Thanks once again Marty! You da man!

[georgeboyd]

your tuition is easy to follow and understand, the sign of a good teacher. I had worked out these triads just by ear but this has just put some meat on my knowledge. I'm self taught but will be seeking out more of your videos.Thanks

Now i can play so good my neighbours came to me and ask me if i can tune their guitar

[johnpick]

Triads are the lead player's Secret Melodic Weapon !

[ashwinvishwakarma]

Okay, I'd say it's time to take a break from songs for a bit and learn some theory. This is helpful stuff right here. Puts things in perspective!
Thanks brotha! 😎
