This is pure guitar soloing gold! The 3 notes are easy to find and simplify things a great deal. I can see they are from the A, C, and E chord shapes. Even when you can see the entire chord shape it can be confusing to know which notes to target. This helps a lot.

I once played in the pit orchestra for a musical, anyone who has seen the music for musicals knows they hit you with extreme key signatures that put you outside your comfort zone. While knowing the chords isn't a problem, I couldn't keep up with standard bar chords when your eyes are mostly on the music and conductor. While my brain processes common chords quickly, I can grab an E7 right away, but an Eb7 took me a bit longer, even longer with more complicated variations. So I went through and learned all the chords based on 3 note triads and it was so much easier. It eliminated large fretboard jumps so I could play without needing to look at the fretboard

This is great. I recently came across the CAGED system and it really ties the triads together. Knowing the basic chord shapes (C-A-G-E-D) very well, since they're one of the first things you learn in rock guitar, I found the CAGED approach filled in the blanks and is helping me learn the whole fretboard and, as a result, I'm able to figure out how to play triads in different keys. But, this is GREAT! Thanks again!

I had a guitar teacher who was into teaching tetrachords as a means to make his students to not be hung up on playing in one position of the neck. He was definitely right because I rarely stay in position when playing guitar. As a child, I started out playing music on piano, so by the time I started playing guitar as a teenager I understood the basic concepts about chord inversions and voice leading. Some good information in the video. Guitar players do get too hung up on scales to the point that most of us aren't making musical statements(I have been there more than a few times mailing it in). That's why I always try to play something different every time I am noodling on guitar. I look at figuring out new paths on guitar as a means to keep my memory engaged.

These are the E, C, and A shapes reduced to triads. If you're familiar with the CAGED system, you should be able to see the aforementioned shapes, and then use that knowledge to find the proper positions along the fretboard. Not sure if it helps you, but I've found it's a nice shortcut.
@MarkZabel
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. I find people often are confused with CAGED, and it often emphasizes larger chord shapes, which are more difficult to visualize for many. But yes, these are in fact the only 3 CAGED shapes available if one limits oneself to the strings D, G, and B. (The G and A are the same and the D shape is missing a 3rd.) It's not separate from CAGED, just simpler ... and one can argue, less complete. There's nothing at all wrong with CAGED in my opinion, but for many people it's too much - 5 instead of 3, uses all 6 strings at once, people attach scales to it, etc.
@PBTophie
Жыл бұрын
@Mark Zabel Yep. I just saw the shapes as soon as you started going over them, so it made it simpler for me to process instead of trying to add more knowledge to my already-overloaded brain.

Also, these are great chord shapes/inversions to learn with your barre chord fingers. The second shape especially (at 3:01), if you barre that at the 5th (shown here at the 9th fret) with your first finger, as if you are playing a min7 barre chord then add the top note on the A string with your pinky making a C shape barre chord which here is the A Maj, this is a great voicing for the major chords, especially lower down the fretboard. If you persevere and perfect this it can save you a lot of movement up and down with chord progressions and vary your chord sounds too. Thanks for another great session Mark.👍

The A,F,D(inversion) shapes are how I think of this. The A shape from fret two is the basic open chord or cowboy chord. The F shape represents the 'easy' F in first position and the third shape is where you'd play the D shaped A but use the C sharp as it's base note. Makes it so much easier with your diagrams Mark.

Much of my guitar beginnings (which is still where I am) was keyboard transitioning. Because long ago my father a piano virtuoso showed me basic scales and someone in a music store demontrated triads and I took it from there. Fast forward one year as combo-organ keyboardist in a band and I had invented blues licks and takedowns with no help other than playing by ear. Within a couple of years I was improvising new stuff almost in my sleep. But I find doing any of that on guitar from another dimension. And learning about modes at the beginning almost made me want to sell what I had and quit. What does Ancient Greek have to do with guitars? They weren't even invented till centuries later. If not for hands-on clinics by celebrity TV veterans and music teachers from a local university at the several local festivals I was able to attend I might have given up. Instead I learned basic pentatonic scales and even drop tuning for slide work. Now if only can break out of acoustic I might get somewhere. Small house space limited so small amp will have to do. But the electrics I have are out of this world. Projects and pickups - I probably know more about how they're made than how to play them. Wasn't exactly my original plan though. TKS for reading. Time gets short. So much to do. Just wish hadn't waited so long. Peace.

63 years old here 52 years playing I metronome scales everyday (well almost) The scales have to be though of as contiguous That is although there are the “shapes” learn them and then blend them Majors, minors, chromatic, pentatonic or more exotic voicings become second nature on a intervalic level Up and down the neck and on any one string I seldom play the same shape as a favorite I play the whole neck and every string as my “shape” Just start a jam track playlist and don’t focus on the root I don’t even look at the root o the track Just start anywhere on the neck And it’s either going to be a blue note or you will bend up to a non dissonant choice Then it’s all about the melody in your head But you won’t get from your head and onto the fretboard without learning all the positions first and all the positions between the positions You can play against and progression using only one string A great exercise is doing just that, string by string Then the double stops will become obvious And you can get a different tonal feel by simply moving around the neck Try playing some of your higher notes on the lower string fretted high and you lower notes on the higher string fretted low It always bewilders me when players say they get bored playing scales since there are so many options It’s the gateway to completely free improve

Glad you enjoyed it! These shapes saved my bacon so many times back in the day when I played in more serious bands. I remember being told not to ever come back if I kept playing barre chords - they step all over everyone else's space. So I learned to stay out of the way of the bassist, the keys, and especially the singer by using these. It wasn't until later that it dawned on me that I could effectively use them as "targets" when I solo. Makes playing so much fun ... and yes, so much easier to finger!

Another great tutorial, Mark! Even guys pushing 70 can benefit here (friend of mine...friend of mine). Question; I see you play a Squier Strat. Did you swap out anything on it; pups, pots, etc - or is it stock? Thanks, again!

I came across your video because I'm 51, my fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be, and I'm about to purchase my first electric guitar! I saved the video to come back to it once I get past the beginning stages. If I may ask, what guitar brand is that? Obviously it's a STRAT but I see it's not a Fender. Thanks.

Hi Mark.. LOVE your channel... I'm a 70 year old guitar lover.. Not a great solo player... yet! As a request, can you teach us the solo, that Bruce Springsteen plays in Candy's Room? I figured a bit of it, but need help for the short solo. Thanks and be well!
@MarkZabel
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the suggestion and the support! I don't really teach much note for note stuff anymore outside of my courses and membership. But I'll think about it, since I think Bruce is somewhat under-appreciated as a player. He plays with emotion and "Candy's Room" is a great example of his "raw" sound and style.

The video I mention to click on at the end goes into some depth on how you can come up for ideas for playing a solo based on chords. So you could check that out. I'm just playing the triads I showed (moving between them) and doing little "chord doodles" while sitting on a chord. I think I stopped once to play a stock lick, but other than that, it was all those 3 triad shapes. I've done a fairly decent number of videos on this and have an upcoming course. Here are a couple of recent ones. 1. Triads for Rock Solos: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xZxvzoKuhZmkopw 2. Solo Ideas from Triads: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rYOito2PcKWLZ5g 3.

I’m 52. My fingers do get stiff. I was recently thinking about trying 10 gauge strings, but wonder…should I stick with 9 gauge? Will 10’s encourage more discomfort? Thanks for any recommendations!
@jmathers1642
Жыл бұрын
I've recently gone from 10s to 9s and find them much easier on the hands and fingers, with little difference in tone. You can also get hybrid strings (e.g. the top 3 are 9s, so it's easier for bending and the bottom three are 10s to keep a thicker bass sound). I heard fairly recently that Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top now uses 7 gauge strings (super light).

Hi! Yes @jmathers is right - especially if you play rock/blues/country, which require bending. If you're strictly jazz, it probably won't help much.

To me, it's easier to just learn the fretboard. If you know you where your tonic, third and fifth are at in any key on any string, it's easier to break out of repetitive box patterns.

I am tired of playing the same old thing. This method should free me from that. Also, I think using the 12 bar blues progression should help out too. I feel inspired. Love to watch you play. Big Fan.

MARK, You should do a video lesson about PHRASING 101 because classical music has phrasing 101 and so does jazz music has phrasing 101. Most guitarists play scales like they are practicing or saying their ABC's its note after note after note in a string link this is a very horrible phrasing. The phrasing needs a beginning, middle and ending part and also a question and answer.

@@MarkZabel Some colleges teach phrasing 101 like beatles phrasing 101 because each BAR is suppose to have certain figuration of phrasing to build phrasing that is why classical and jazz melodies has contracted phrasing lines. What I say to people is if you can't SING your guitar solo and put lyrics to your guitar solo than you're just playing a self centered practicing section and no one wants to hear your practicing scales in a song. Try putting lyrics to any chris imprellitti guitar solo or most guitar solos its NOT going to work but you can put lyrics to a David Gilmour guitar solo because you can sing his guitar solos. This is what phrasing is from the school of Hank Marvin

This only works for slow, melodic solos. Yes, they are musical and sound great. But there are other types of solos. Take Jimmy Page. Some of his solos can be sung by the listener. Others have passages with blurs of notes that the listener can't even individually discern.
