        Hey guys, I’m looking for the best lesson which targets triads, and they’re connected major//minor pentatonic shapes. I’d like to sprinkle in a bit of pentatonic, and land on chord tones. Brian has several lessons on playing over chord changes. I’m looking for the best one that targets what I described

          356: huge lightbulbs for me. Pentatonic mixing in 3 positions.

          275: equally great, but with minor triads in 3 positions.

          537: great repeating motif over 1-4-5 changes, in 2 positions

          (If you like those I may have more I can look through my playlist! 🙂 )

              PS FWIW, I’m always analyzing the lessons to see what CAGED shape/triad is closest available to a given lick or section. Taking this time has given me a deeper understanding of the fretboard, more mileage out of the lessons- and most importantly given me more freedom to improvise over changes when I want to.
