How Triads TRULY Unlock The Fretboard (Ft. Ariel Posen)

Thanks for having me Paul! Fun fact, Paul made the most delicious bread that I’ve ever tasted.

I think Ariel’s playing would best be described as “pretty.” Inspirational.

I’m actually understanding this!

15.35 😹

Nice to know all that, now play like Frusciante haha

Less is more, good to know thinking numbers not a bad thing...Will start cycling thru inversions of my I IV V all over the fretboard ....

thanks Paul, this dudes a legend, heaps clear explanation

I ended this video with a page full of notes (in both senses). Thank you for this.

Gotta give Paul credit…even though this is pretty basic information, he sells it like it’s the first time he’s heard about it. I assume in an effort to make beginners feel comfortable…what a guy ❤

how do I start learning this? Start with triads basics and go from there? Try to memorise or try to understand how they are build up?

I’m 45 & been playing since I was 13. I never learned 1note just tabs. I got Lucky, my Uncle is in the Bluegrass Hall Of Fame & has a Guitar Shop & I learned most by sitting down with his friends and playing, parroting what they played. It’s weird, I can hear the music & know exactly how to play it & know where the song is going.

Whenever two immensely musically gifted, yet simultaneously humble and modest individuals come together, it results in an amazing video with high added value for us. Thank you for that!

What to the Chinese mafia have to do with the guitar

Yeah, I prefer working with the number system. too, as it frees me up to transpose.

Guys are makin sweet lovin to those strings lol

Really great information presented for all musicians, not just guitar players.

Ariel's courses on TrueFire are all about targeting notes using Triads. Hands down some of the best teaching material I've come across in my 40 years of playing.

Ariel Polsen is the most melodic and dynamic player. Always very generous of his time and techniques. And an awesome songwriter on top of that! More people need his music in their life!

I can't put into words how much I hate stratocasters

He's Canadian... means he can only be in a band of three (Rush, Triumph).. LOL... just kidding

I AM SO FUSTRATED TRYING TO LEARN THIS.... CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. JESUS, I FEEL LIKE AM GONNA SMASH MY GUITAR... IVE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN THIS FOR OVER 3 MONTHS AND I CAN ONLY GET THE FIRST PART CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. it would be very much appreciated.

You have those same chords in A major too. E Mixo yes because of the flat 7 chord and E is home... but you could play a major or E Mixo or their major pentatonic...e Mixo is a derivative of A major

Best video on the internet for learning the fretboard

I agree with you, Ariel. It's just time.

I’ve been chasing triads for 50 years. Still haven’t caught them all.

Sounds like Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.

Great video, thanks.
What amp settings are you using?

agree about dynamics - so many people don't even know how to i swear

is it just me or is the underlying theme of the song in the beginning very close to "slow dancing in a burning room" by john mayer?

There is a couple of years practice in this. Ariel is great at explaining. Its made me want to lock myself in my music room

fkg awesome

Watching this video was a big light bulb moment for me , seeing how you could practically use them. Thank you for all the tips!

that strat is buzzing

All I hear is strings rattling on frets

Chord Tones only way to go. Natural minor with pentatonic = no bad notes😊

If ever someone's playing mirrored their personality it's Ariel. Warm, intelligent and even if he wouldn't say it, I will, sophisticated. Seems like a great guy.

borrrring

Tomo fugita has been saying the same thing since years ago

I can't believe I missed this video.

Ariel is in my top 5 players alive. I love his approach and pushing the evolution of the guitar as an instrument. He's an incredible educator and you two make a great duo. The questions you asked were on point Paul, you picked his mind exactly where I needed you to. His technique and technology are great, but his theory and approach to dynamics is really where it's at.

You guys are doing incredible work for the guitar, thank you!

I would love to see Ariel come back to show off/explain some of his slide playing!

I've watched this a few times, it is a such a great video. It really feels like a whole guitar course at double time. Each time I watch, I hear something new to try. Really digging these collaborations, Paul; keep on rocking, man.

Does beard make you play better guitar? 😢

I'm inspired. Beaut video

Ariel makes me proud to be Canadian!

Two of my favorite guitarists in one video. Excellent.

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on
