Been playing awhile and have started this course starting with the Foundation 1 section. The triad stuff is a lot of what I am interested in. However, i'm confused by where I should be progressing through the Foundation series. Should I go all the way through Foundation 1 and then go to the Triad Foundation?
What have you done?
I tried to jump ahead to the Triad Foundation from the Foundation 1 and was not able to keep up after the second video. The Foundation 1 is a really comprehensive review and has a lot of exercises to build good form and discipline and it is worth the effort to finish in my mind. So that's still where I spend the bulk of my time with the instrument plugged in.
I think it's ok to watch ahead to let ideas soak in for a while. For example, I like to watch the theory ones to help reinforce the concepts I've learned over the years. But-- I will have to go back and play along and do the work on the instrument when I'm finished with the Foundation 1 and Triad Foundation work.
Just the bending exercises and the intro to the triads in Foundation 1 are a lot to work on for a month. There are 17 videos there, so it's a lot of material. And it will at least introduce Triads.

Yeah I would start with the beginer series because he covers all the triads in that and check out the music theory 1 section. The triad foundations he moves pretty quick on so it might be hard to follow if you dont already know triads all over the neck. You need the theory section to understand how everything is built off the major scale. It you dont understand certain parts of a lesson, you may be moving too fast. But it's good to watch anyways
