these two are among the elite, i signed up for guthries lessons hes amazing

Awesome interview. Both of these guys along with Tom Bukovac and many others inspired me to pick the guitar back up at age 30 after about 8 years of toiling in drug addiction. I had sold all of my gear for dope, but I've been clean for about 3 years and decided recently to buy some cheap gear and get back into playing. It has been an incredible outlet for me and I have guys like Guthrie and Josh to thank for it. I will be forever thankful to these two. Love you both!

Keep going brother, there's never a good reason or excuse to relapse or dabble. I have wasted twenty five years of my life and playing guitar to this sh@t heroin, and not finished yet, just started picking it up again, love listening to these guys plus other amazing players, missed out on so much... take care brother, hope you and yours are blessed with good fortune in your futures..

Guthrie is one of my absolute favorite players, thank you so much for having him as a guest. I'd love to hear you guys collaborate on something.

Guthrie Trapp is really a very elegant player. He talks about mistakes here but man he is a FINE guitar player. Plays over changes beautifully. Has great tone, time and touch on the instrument. What an awesome player!

Couldn't agree more!

"Who's the guy from Led Zeppelin?" had me rolling.

Guthrie’s a great dude. I met him when he was playing with Rodney Crowell at a festival. It was a fly date for him so I set up 2 deluxe reverbs as backline for him and chatted about guitars, the business etc. Like Josh said, he made a fan for life. I love the “This gig’s yours if you want it.” thing.

I got inspired at about 29 minutes hearing that with a mistake "nobody gets hurt." I get so worried about messing up that it limits me. Thinking about pushing oneself to the edge makes me think of Roy Buchanan and most of all Junior Brown. Junior sounds like he's on a tight rope almost falling off but never does. He gets to the edge of going off the rails in such an artist way.

Josh you are getting some of the most AWESOME guests on your channel. People who I wouldn't think you would necessarily be able to get. It's just one after another! awesome stuff man.

@@JoshSmithGuitar It must be nice to be friends with some of the best in the world and for them all to be such humble people as well. Generous and willing to share, just like yourself!

Josh- thank you. Not only are you an awesome musician, but a great documenter of the great guitarists of our time...the future will appreciate this too. Guthrie- real dude.

How can anyone as good as Guthrie be so HUMBLE???? Josh too. Both MONSTER players and cool guys!

I'm just at the point of breaking through playing the changes thanks to you guys and your descriptions of when you were in this position and watching Matt Schofield, Kirk Fletcher etc al.. Really helped me get my head around it without having a fluent knowledge of recognised music theory. Anyway, it feels like a whole intersection of new avenues has just opened up for me to explore so I'm off to attempt just that!. Many thanks fellas, all the best from the UK.

Guthrie is awesome! Gives away so much for free his awesome knowledge I'm grateful for this dude!

Two legends! Hope to see more and more from you two. Much love from Portugal!

Guthrie's so humble and got such awesome tone and style! It's great that you had him on Josh, thanks for another great interview!

Right off the bat great Brixton cap on Guthrie. Amazing interview here and a real treat to check out. Thanks Josh! Killing it.

Two great players and a down-to-earth conversation - much respect. Thanks for this!

A pair of aces! Two of my favorite guitarists

Thank you so much for this interview I love both you guys , how humble , anyhow easy you laugh at yourselves thanks so much for sharing your origin stories and your craft . The Hardass work and love for your craft has polished your many gifts .

man, you're killing it with these guests, loving the show... I love the 10 questions and I answer them myself every time to make sure I'm ready to be a part of the show (I don't see that happening anytime soon but a man can dream...) lol

Wow! Two of the best guitarists in America sharing knowledge and having fun. What a treat. Thanks guys!!!

2 of the best of the best! thanks guys!

After over 20 yrs of playing, I gotta say that you two guys are my favorite guitarists that I look for on you tube and listen to EVERY SINGLE DAY !! Josh, your technique is second to none. Guthrie,,, just brilliant all around as well & Ive watched every video youve done over and over again. Hoping to become some sort of Hybrid Blend of the two of you as far as styles are concerned. You guys are the best HANDS DOWN,,, THEEE BEST !! Much thanks from all of us players for all the content through these hard times guys.

These are excellent questions! great interview!

Great interview guys! Love you both!!

Another great one! Guthrie is awesome and I have definitely seen some of his videos, they are quite helpful. Very cool.

Man, this is so good.

These two are simply great, two really wonderful dudes. As an old timer (>50) I’m amazed at the access they provide to learning music and understanding the development process - can you imagine having been given this much insight and guidance as a young player? “I coulda been a star! (Haha)” GT shares the practical side of paying the bills, and he was lucky to have support and be in the right situations to link his work ethic; I still recommend having a Plan B, I.e. education, non-music skills, but these guys motivate to be a better and more complete musician. Thanks Josh, Guthrie, for making music, and life, more interesting and exciting!

thanks to both you guys especially Guthrie who has helped my playing dramatically

This was great , Awesome.

Two of them Flawda boys that can throw down. Guthrie grew up in my back yard. Somethin in the water down here. 41 here. I did the exact opposite of Guthrie. While he was playing at the Flora-Bama, I was playing cover blues/funk/rock tunes around the other side of town. His originality is a very special sauce because of this. If I could do it over, I would say do it like Guthrie if you really want to develop your own style.

Missed the live stream but was wondering if/when Josh would have Guthrie on. Paused video at 4 minutes in to comment. I don''t know if I'll be able to handle all the guitar/music wisdom that will be discussed by these two giants. Standing by to have my mind blown in 3...2...1....

Thanks to you, I met a new, interesting character in the guitar world! Thank you Josh. Greetings from Poland!

Another awesome interview Josh! I just discovered Guthrie a few months ago and love his style and approach to playing. BTW, "Afternoon Delight" is my guilty pleasure. :-)

My two favorite guitar teachers in one video. It's Christmas for me

Amazing player ... and amazing teacher as well!!

What a great interview.

2 of the top apex Tele players in one showing. Fantastic stuff Josh.

This was really great and it was good to see the parallels in your lives I normally watch both of you for the instructional playing side, but your personalities and little anecdotes about the music business kept me entertained throughout the interview. Thanks a bunch to both of you guys for doing what you do, the guitar really has kept me going and given me purpose, and it's because of the understanding that people like yourselves inspire. Maximum respect!

Good Job!

Y'all are both two of my favorite players. My best lesson from you has been making the right notes count when it means the most. Quality over quantity, if you will.

I remember hearin about Guthrie around Pensacola Fl growin up how he was gonna be goin places. I did not expect he was going to to be as badass as he is. The first time I heard it was definitely a holy shit moment.

Great questions and interview. Loved the basic question " do you have a default when you pick up a guitar?" Glad to hear I am not the only one irritated to have the same impulse every time ;-)

Hey Josh, I grew up in Sweetwater when it was on the edge of the everglades

Ha! I was in the Blues Camp where you had us play Ab. I loved it. It was funny that some folks whined about it. I always just pick a key and see what I can do. Interestingly enough, the song in my head is a Bb shuffle. I love these interviews, Josh. And Guthrie is one of my favorites, so this one was pretty special for me.

Man this is great. Im new to the internet guitar community and Guthrie was the first guy I gravitated towards cuz hes well cool I guess 😎🤘

Guthrie’s Pick Peace is one of my favorites. Two monsters on one stream 👍🏻👍🏻

A meeting of the minds.

Two virtuosos in the same room. The two of you should have a contest to see who's the nicer guy. Stiff competition. I laughed when you guys said your age. As soon as we hit 40 theres a pause before we say the number. Take care. -Mark

You absolutely have to get Tom Bukovac on here

I sure wish I could have had that experience. I think my playing would have taken a turn for the better. I wanted it so bad. I just didn’t have the support. Now, I’m just a hobbyist, but I still have this drive to go, basically nowhere.

Josh! You guy$ really need to do record together. This would be most interesting !

JS you are the busiest guy I know besides me. lol I can't keep up with your great vids. But I'm trying! Great interview, thanks!

💜

Guthrie is monster player !

Totally out of guitar nerd cliches Guthrie is a natural born player. A real Killer. One of a kind. This is why he sounds so f****n amazing? Pure talent.

Josh, good for you on the A flat lesson. It bothers me that guitar players often don’t view the guitar as a musical instrument that can be played in all keys. I’ve had guitar players in my band that looked at me like I was an alien when I called a tune in B flat or E flat.

Gods!

Brilliant! Don't Overthink ... You don"t overthink when u play your best. just a thought referencing economics. nk

Guthrie has been my favorite guitar player since several years. I really liked that Guthrie mentioned Oz Noy and John Scofield as current inspirations. I think Guthrie's first album was a good starting point to launch a solo career, while the second album (to me) was a step back. Normally Guthrie does not share his plans in these online videos, but here he explained that he is trying develop further musically. Noy and Scofield are great, some of my all time favorites because of colorful melodic playing, jazz-inspired but accessible. But I think Guthrie has more of a natural musical talent, whatever he plays is very musical, and his articulation is the best (e.g. the articulation is not the biggest strength of Noy in my opinion). So I think if Guthrie writes some interesting original instrumentals and records them with top session guys, then he has a chance to build up a fan-base of listeners outside of the group of guitar students. But I think it's important that Guthrie is in charge, because his second album sounded as trying to make every participating musician happy -- that's not always a good thing for a career-launching solo work. I think what is needed is a further development on harmony and rhythm, a step away from the country into an own version of fusion.

Fender should make Josh Smith Signature Tele, he is the best tele guy in our generation

At last, my favourite guitar player not called Josh Smith!

Whats up with Florida and good musicians?

guthrie is my fave...then you Josh ;)

Hey Josh, I had to smile when you mentioned learning You Shook Me All Night Long note for note - as a kid. I just did it at the start of COVID - and not even note for note. Check this out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lqFoydqem8fTqKg.html ;-) And I saw you in Germany at one of those gigs you mentioned. The Village at Habach in Bayern. Maybe 150 people at 25€ each. Not much money to make. And yet you gave it your all. Very grateful. Also for your TrueFire courses. They are priceless. You and Matt Schofield. Such inspiration! Best wishes from Germany, hope to see you play here again soon!
