Relating triads to actual songs is the most helpful. Thanks

[billrothery]

The best guitar lessons I've seen on the internet. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us. So glad I found your site. Number 1 for great lessons. Thanks again

Been playing forever, taking lessons right now from an incredible player/teacher, I stumbled onto these videos. Your level and teaching style is top notch. I'm already relatively (no pun intended) versed in guitar theory, and I am starting to put it altogether with the phenom guitar teacher I am with, so I'm going to incorporate what you are sharing to the masses with what I am working on with my teacher. Absolutely amazing videos, well thought out, easy to follow, with a great sense of musicality and flow. Very practical for various levels of guitar enthusiasts! Thanks so much Charlie Long!

At 66 that gives me enuf material Charlie for the rest of my life. Gotta go and get ready for the circus of 7 gkids at Easter. All the best and world class lesson. Thanks

[kenlelon]

Hey Charlie, me again. That was your best so far, IMO. I'm getting there with your help!

[matthewlally]

This is great, Charlie! I wish I could remember all of this at one time...but I will just peck away and slowly keep getting better while saying "ah ha!". For me, the Another Brick song is a great way to get introduced to the application of triads. 🤘🎶🎸👏

[Owl-qhrh]

Awesome! Thank you and happy Easter! 🙏🕊️

[martynspooner]

Another simply brilliant lesson, thanks a lot for sharing your seemingly never ending guitar knowledge. Cheers Charlie

This was absolutely wild. I had been putting off tryouts for so long and then I learned about spread triad and I took two of them very well and then I figured I’d look back and try to figure out the closed voicing triad, and there was so much more in this video that I could have imagined, it’s encouraging, but I also realize how far behind I am in my learning process

[ralphditchburn]

Exactly what I need now how to do it effortlessly lol. Thank you charlie

[DougSmith-yo]

[rexchristian]

Good job on teaching all of class ty young man ❤

[SwinginBluesTube]

Really good stuff, thank you Charlie. Especially like the ideas toward the end of the video.

[mpcarroll]

Just to let you know. Because of you I bought an electric guitar! Can’t wait to be like Charlie Long.

Charlie, what I gather is that with both the arppegios and triads, we must also learn the inversions to become fluent.

[lawrencetaylor]

Merci beaucoup.
Very complete lesson.

[ophion]

awesome dude awesome
thank you very much..

Great instructional video on Triads. I have been playing for a long time and I have watched many videos to improve my skills. For me the Triad video is amazing. One question; why is your chart of the neck and the notes being played opposite to what we see when you are playing?

[garywatling]

Hi Charlie,
Another great lesson.
Do you have a video on Triads + 1?
Cheers
