  • Thank you Dr. Molly. This is the simplest I've heard triads explained.
  • @vvgmhod4
    Excellent perspective, looking down on the fretboard. I wish more YouTube instructors would do this.
  • @trusarmor4957
    i watched your hour long CAGED video like 10 x. great job, and thank you
  • Great visuals on the connections. All this stuff should be taught together. Triads. Arpeggios. Match it to the appropriate major/minor scales and it’s just magic. Literally all right there. Take my like AND subscribed. Well done. Thank you.

    Best CAGED and triad lesson I've ever seen.
  • @dharris1234
    Fantastic lesson! Would you be able to do a caged triad lesson using the minor triads? Also, do you use the C shape very often?
  • @luisky0324
    Thanks for the sharing ma'am!👍💓💓💓💓
  • Brilliant! "See the shapes." For those of us who don't read music (well me, certainly), shapes on the fretboard is how we work. Anyone learning guitar, who thinks that reading music or tab is essential, should watch this video. You need only read the fretboard.

    This is awesome. I learned the caged system a long time ago but no one ever really showed me how it's useful. Please do a video three!
