Once you're comfortable with the Major Triad grips, it's time to look at the Minor Triad ones!

This is AWESOME! I love being able to use a variety of different chord shapes in songs for slightly different sounds!

That’s a great song to play that uses both major / minor triads. There is an acoustic live version on YouTube that is fun to play along with - Vampire Weekend - M79 - Pitchfork Live - YouTube

Yes Justin, after all these years I am still enjoying your lessons. I drift off and look at other information on the net, which I find very useful to get a different take on things, but always come back to your lessons. I have been using these triads for a while now and spice up some songs with them. I throw them into the interludes, intro and outro on that great Aussie classic ‘To her door’ for instance and it sounds great

I enjoyed the lesson, however, two things I would do to improve it and make it even more understandable as it relates to the G major and minor triads would be (a) begin with the G major triad and (b) then show the G minor triad, emphasizing the fact that the only difference to go from the G major to G minor triad is that you’re flattening the 3rd, i.e., going from B to Bb. I illustrated this using Neck Diagrams which visually makes the point.
I have been using Neck Diagrams on a regular basis since starting the Theory course. It’s a fantastic supplement to the course material.

@rklein Justin does write in the lesson content:
So your thinking is aligned with thoughts he had when creating the lessons, but consciously chose to not provide.

For anyone else coming across this, those exact diagrams are available under the resources in the next lesson. Triads 123 Major and Triads 123 Minor. They are for the G triad.

Love the course, love the lessons, learning a lot - just wanted to provide some feedback on this lesson specifically. It felt pretty rushed compared to all the other videos, and I’m not quite sure why. Just a lot of quick playing & talking, made it a little hard to follow. Not sure if it’s just because the content is similar to the previous lesson, just different finger shapes, but still wasn’t fun having to pause the video pretty often to understand and process what Justin was trying to convey. Thanks for hearing me out

Yes, I agree with ccapriati’s comment above, as I was having the same thoughts about the lesson feeling rushed. It seemed like Justin was impatient to get it over with. I was wishing he’s have spent a bit more time going into using the different keys with examples (by playing them). Will have to spend a bit more time on this lesson’s practice I guess!
