I think that my most important breakthrough was when I realised that I could just play any note or series of notes with any time signature, at any time and I could just pass it off as saying that it is freeform jazz. This combined with the fact that I never play in front of anybody allows me to believe that I am able to play guitar to a very competent level and I sleep well knowing this and not questioning the actual sound that I produce. My therapist says that this is good for me.

I too was blown away when I found the final triad in your video! I use them ALL THE TIME now! I use them for a more dreamy sound and utilize the open A and high E strings and just slide the shape up and down the neck.

About 10 years ago (give or take a year) I made that same M7 to m chord connection. With the many grips i already had for Maj7 chords it opened up a plethora of new minor chord soloing paterns for me. I became obsessed with writing backing tracks with parallel Maj to Min chord changes. Especially going from A-min to C-maj7. I loved writing fast arpeggio licks that i could repeat over both chords and that led to me paying closer attention to the particular emotions that each intervel generally produced. In turn, that led to me REALLY learning my intervals. To this day, I'm still fairly slow at naming the notes on the fretboard but i can very quickly see where the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th of each chord is and learning to solo while flowing from the current chord and timing it so that I land on the 3rd or 7th of the next chord on either the 1 or the down beat of either chord improved my improvisations exponentially. I put that right up there with learning the 5 patterns of the CAGED system on the list of most important lessons I've learned over the years.

.Thanks Mark. Your intro is just about my own glass ceiling of the last 25 years. I have been entirely self-taught since the age of 18 and had never managed to understand and get into the music theory, even the tiniest bits. Now being 52, I have decided with my son to take my first lessons of guitar with a real teacher, and though most of what he is trying to teach me is Chinese for me most of the time for me and I see that my brain is overwhelmed with concepts I had never heard of, after the 2nd year now, I see that things are slowly starting to make some sense and this allows me now to follow KZread tutorials without instantly zapping by lack of understanding the most basic concepts such as "intervals", "thirds", what is a chord made of and so on. Through my years of self teaching, I have developed an abilty to play by ear in most of the basic band situations and composing but I really feel so limited and revolving around the same old reflexes that I start to get bored of myself and feel a little disabled to be honest. Learning theory seems to have opened something

A great lesson for reflection thanks Mark !! A hugely creative time in music is not knowing that much...many accidents go a long way for years of unfettered jamming and song creation and joyous musical abandon...gradually creatively takes new forms...better or worse is relative to the personality...on that score certain flavors of jazz rock allude to freedom from definition...and yet people will always seek to categorize... see dictionary meaning "jazz" ...now here's the question, "where do ya wanna go" ???

I recommend Frank Gambale's video Modes No More Mystery. In this video he teaches how to use triads to create modal vamps. You can use these triads as material for solos over these modes as well of course. And in the video Jazz Fusion Improvisation Scott Henderson teaches which triads to use when soloing over certain chords. These triads can be easily memorized if you have watched the Frank Gambale video first. Thanks Mark for another useful and entertaining video 👍

One of my biggest breakthrough moments was when I learnt that if I was playing over a jam track or something in a major key I could at any stage switch to the relative minor of that key since they use the same notes. so instead of playing over an entire jam track in just the major key, use it's relative minor as well, This is one thing that really blew the fretboard wide open for me... You can add a TON of extra flavour to your playing by doing this. Look at position one of your major scale and then position one of the relative minor and you'll see that both of those scales are right there next to each other on the fretboard. I've worked on just chaining those two scales together as one mega scale and it gives you endless possibilities for your lead work and i've been able to create alot of neat melody lines by doing this.

Perfect Mark. Same here, although stuck for 30. I'm only a semi-pro. Weekend gigs only, for fun. This lesson expands on what I just did to help with memory visualization. I took 7 neck diagrams and drew a Cmaj scale (8'th fret) on them. Then I marked all the triads up and down the neck. First off the C. Then second diagram, off the 2,nd, third, and on up. Now I could see all the triads built from every note in that C scale. Both under my hand, and up and down the neck as well. Breakthrough enough, but when I then added the seventh, and played the whole arpeggio across the neck, I saw the connections. How everything is nested together. The chord, the arpeg, the triads, the modes, and the other chords in that key. All from that one 7 note scale. I have so many cool new licks, and can follow the changes far easier than before. Hopefully, sharing this explanation can help others. I did the same for all the pentatonic modes. So revealing and enlightening. For anyone that is working in the CAGED system, this will put the ribbon on it. It's like branding the patterns into my brain. After a few days I don't need to look at the paper. Draw it out man! This video of yours is the next step, and something good guided me here. Thanks for sharing.

This is outstanding! I always tell people who say they want to learn theory to learn the major scale, and how to harmonize it. Learn to sing it(doesn't have to be good :P, just on pitch ) . Really learn it until you hopefully have the AHA that it isn't as complicated as it seems at first. 90+% of western music is just using the major scale, and the chords you get from each degree, in different ways. This is an excellent demonstration of a great result from that sort of thinking.

Mark, it's kind of an incredible moment isn't it! I think we are on about the same trajectory and feeding from the same trough. If you don't mind, can I suggest one more place that I have found, other than your really good stuff, that bases method on triads? I have found this person's lessons very helpful also. His name is Tomo Fujita. He is a guitar professor at Berkley College of Music and he has a series of good videos and a lesson package ( which he charges a modest fee for) emphasizing triads, chords, inversions and knowledge of the fingerboard. And if I could just add one thing to your instruction, I would tell people to spend at least 15 minutes every single day learning where the notes are on the fingerboard. So many of us know how to make shapes with our fingers but so few of us know where each of those fingers are! It's important. And it's hard, especially for those of us with grey beards, reading glasses and loose fitting clothing! Triads are three note combinations. You simply can't do this until you discipline yourself to get VERY familiar with the neck. Do the work folks. Then, this will become your lightbulb moment also. 🎸🏋‍♀

I also ‘discovered’ triads a few years ago from watching videos on Triad Pairs. Triads are the most fundamental structure of Western music. Yet guitar players are never taught to play triads. Conventionally, guitar instructors teach you basic chords, then scales, and if you make it that far, arpeggios. But they never teach you triads. So I set about to learn triads, and it revolutionized my soloing. However, I never thought to play triads as chords. So that’s the next thing I’m going to learn from you. Thank you.
