I have always wanted to know this. Thanks buddy!

Guthrie - you’re a true inspiration to all us teachers out here. Not having to rely on flash or memes, trending stories, etc...just giving us the information as directly as possible. Thank you.

Love ❤️ it!

What a nice addition to any guitarist's bag of licks!!! It works in lots of tunes.

For every minute you play I get a lifetime of lessons. Your videos have enhanced my playing in many ways. Thanks!

I knew I'd find a good and simply explained lesson on country bends from you Guthrie. It's not that complicated when explained properly. Thanks much! Looking forward to your upcoming release with Uncle Larry!

Many thanks guthrie , great morning lesson

Love the way you present material, Guthrie. Keep up the good work helping us unlock these concepts!

Cooper Thomas Thanks a bunch man!!

Game changer video! Just what I’ve been searching for

Love that tele!

Been back to this particular lesson 3 times already so I book-marked it. It's exactly the sort of thing I come to your channel for, as someone who has played and taught rock and blues for a long time now, this right here is getting me back to the roots of where so many of my childhood guitar heroes got much of their inspiration. The history of music itself I think intrigues me now every bit as much as learning guitar did as a kid. So this sort of thing puts a huge smile on this ole metal heads face. ^-^ (My roundabout way of saying: _more like this please)_

Guthrie is everything I love about guitar he can play anything but always focuses on melody and musicality im on a 5 year journey on guitar trying to get to a reasonably skilled level im 1.5 years in and have made great strides. Guthrie is such an inspiration!

"No extra charge for mistakes" - awesome.

Another great lesson. This is one of the few times I have seen these techniques taught since the out of print Nashville Guitar book form thirty years ago. That book changed my playing and anything like it is not available. Once again, thank you for showing people how to perform these string bending licks.

Cool lesson. I remember having this style of lesson on ArtistWorks, this is a must learn lesson if you are going to play country, it sounds so cool and you can’t help but want to bend the heck out of the strings to get that cool sound. Thank GOD for the cool weather, this year was so hot. Thanks.

To me two comments from you stand out here and these are gems I think, You mention "seeing the guitar not from a theory point of view but from a musical point of view" (paraphrased) and second "taught by professionals not professors." I get the feeling if we sat down face to face I'd be getting the real guy who actually makes and acknowledges mistakes (at no extra charge!) and cares about the people he is sharing this information with. Thanks hope to meet you someday.

AWESOME..................................

As always, you are amazing in not only helping a novice understand what the hell string bending country style is, also the more experienced cats are seeing picking hand placement with different attack & tonality. I know a lot of players in Europe that are mesmerized by your country chicken-picking style. Personally, I’m a fan for life because of your inviting, friendly way of communicating with the guitar and also without that is genuine and honest. I’m more geared towards your jazzy blues side and by the end of October when I’ll be done with my pre-medicine tests, I’ll be able to sign up for lessons! Thank you once again dear friend!

It's amazing how sometimes, you do something so often and naturally, that you have to stop and think how you do it. I remember a bending video you did a while back, maybe ArtistWorks. Same thing, you were talking about middle and ring finger, and halfway through, you stopped and said, "wait a minute, I use the middle finger" it's funny because ever since I watched that video, I've noticed the same things with my fingerings. And I'm constantly trying new fingers just to see if maybe something changed since last I checked.

Check how Guthrie is always keepin' his fingertips DRY (Cripes(!) I wish I'd known about That one a thousand years ago!)

Hey Guthrie At about 15:50 you talk about the bends being interchangeable after you show the bends in A you go to G, what is the bend fingering in the first position G?? Thank you! Keep up the great work!! Mark
