Retired musician here (keys/vocals). I solely made money from my music career for over 20 years. I attest to the validity of this. Courteous people were always buying me cocktails. After 52 nights straight gigging and people buying me a new thing (gin manhattans), I developed pancreatitis. It scared the heck outta me. My doctor told me straight to stop. I did for a while. You know the rest of the story. Point is, a Musician’s lifestyle of late nights, easy access to late nite pizza and cocktails isn’t great for the digestive track. It’s a good thing you’re doing spreading gut health knowledge. You’re a good man Charlie Brown.

@@forester057…if you believe the garbage spread by stupid carnivore KZread channels. Pseudoscience

You, Otis and Tom are all putting out fantastic and much appreciated content. KZread became my classroom for all things musical years ago. I just wish it had existed when I first began playing guitar back in 1965. I'm merrily and gratefully ripping off ideas all over the place to continuously expand my own vocabulary on guitar. Thanks a ton for your contributions in this pursuit. And as for your comments regarding your health all I can say about that is the sooner we start to give a shit about ourselves the better off we are, assuming we follow through.

I'd say not so many comments because we're all mostly listening in awe of your playing!

Yeah man I agree

That Martin sounds beautiful

Love what you do GT. The older that you get the more you have to watch what you eat. The body gets tired for processing all the BS that it could when we were younger.

I enjoyed your description of your efforts to deconstruct Di Meola’s playing. Yes, that’s what we do! Musician’s blessing and curse: always something new to learn and always someone better. Once you can play well, you’re just getting started.

More comments? Haha well man I gotta say that this performance is just the best version of Norwegian wood I’ve ever heard by far

Thank you for that beautiful song. Addressing gut health, I guarantee if you stop consuming alcohol for a couple of months, you'll start feeling better. Alcohol causes gut inflammation, even in small quantities. One of the metabolic byproducts of alcohol oxidation is a chemical called acetaldehyde. When it builds up in your system, it makes you feel hung over. It is also a group 1 carcinogen. I know it's really hard to not drink because alcohol is so normalized in our culture, but cutting way back will make you feel better. Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

I have Crohn’s disease and have had three bowel resections and pain and suffering for DECADES. I get it now and coach people on lifestyle. So it’s actually easy. Disease is basically caused by micronutrients deficiency and overload of pollution and toxins. Vegetables for the most part Guthrie are not healthy! There is hardly any micronutrients but a ton of natural pollution and artificial pollution and the are all man made! What we evolved on was ruminate (red meat) and animal products. If you ate mostly high quality fresh local animal products and got rid of ALL grains, seed oils, vegetables. Eat meat, eggs, some RAw dairy if you can handle it and seasonal local fruit (not to much). Eat single ingredients foods. And of course like the previous comment no alcohol. You would feel amazing! I wasn’t sure if I should post this but we need you around here Guthrie and everyone is so blinded by what they think is healthy nowadays. Be well

It's cool to know that you still get stumped, extremely rarely no doubt, by high level guitarists like yourself. No matter how good we get the learning and curiosity and wonder never stops.

Im going into week four of no red meat no dairy no bread no heavy drinking. Cholesterol and weight were too high. Had to make a change. Been tough but it’s a good change that I needed. 🎸

It works! I lost 20 lbs in under 2 months a few years back. The healthy way. It feels great to lighter on your feet. And of course all the health benefits that accompany that.

Lost my mom 13 years ago. But Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I don't know how you can feel like playing guitar with the flu, but I hope you feel better soon. Love the In Stereo album. I'm a trucker and I can listen to it for hours while driving. Y'all go buy the album, it's great!

sauerkraut, good sir!

That is a great version of that song!

Very tasteful playing! Great sounds! You are definitely a legend. You are really sound like Esteban.Thank you brother!

The thing about the best Beatles melodies is, they can't be improved upon. They kept messing around until it was IT. Ditto with the arrangements. It's interesting that they called it "learning the song", like it already exists, they just have to find it. I think that's a good way to create.

my comment today is i will comment more often. i luv to hear you play with your trio on youtube in nashville and new york. i watch all the content on your channel because you are such a great talent. please feel better soon GT.

I don't leave comments, USUALLY, but here is one. Don't feel bad, feel good.

That was beautiful playing, sir. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Happy Mothers day to everyone. I think of mine often as she has been gone 14 years.

Mr Trapp, from Artist Works to True Fire and all the amazing KZread vids, I’ve been a huge fan and dedicated student of yours for a long while. Never commented before but you asked…:) To see you finding your way into Meola’s “Norwegian Wood”, to hear you say you slowed it down to hear and see what he was doing (as Ive done ten thousand times with your vids) is an inspiration. Your enthusiasm and passion for the guitar is infections, your virtuosic playing is a gift. You're a hell of a teacher and phenomenal musician. Thank you.

Merci !de France. It's just a way, thanks to you , really good leassons. Great (guitarist) , great musician !!!!!!!

Man Guthrie, I have watched so many of your video's and this one is my favorite of all for sure😀First of all , I lost my mom a long long time ago now and I really didn't even think about her today, until you said something. So thank you for that!..There have been so many of your video's where I said to myself, man I wish Guthrie would slow down and show us step by step how he did that....Now that you see what we go through, you did just that. Your story of getting offered drinks on the road reminded me so much of an interview with Greg Allman I just watched- He basically said the same thing. Thanks so much again, really really enjoyed this one !! ☺

Great post Guthrie, thanks !!

You have such a great rhythmic sense. Enjoy the vids

Great study. The guitar is so great for pushing voices in various experimental directions and seeing what turns up, and then maybe analyzing the theory later on. Great post GT, I really like the unpredictable mashup of styles and such in your live playing. Keep on taking those risks buddy...

Hey GT , thank you for this lesson. I been wanting to learn this version ever since I heard it. It sounds great on your 12fret Martin. You are right on track talking about your respect for the people we love and folks enjoy your parents while their still on earth. Love you GT , peace and love !

Man I love how after the melody you hammer on to the second fret b string which you’ve expanded on from Al’s version, gives it a great sound and feel

The album you and Uncle Larry put out really is amazing. Excellent songs, arrangements, playing! The mix is phenomenal!! Hope you guys get a grammy for this I don't eat it myself but certain yogurts (Activia) have good gut benefits like replacing your good gut bacteria. My doc told me as humans we're supposed to graze on food throughout the day rather than eat 1 or 2 huge meals.

GT: That is too cool. I play that song all the time, but not like that. Thanks for the insight. Again!

That was awesome! Thanks Guthrie. Being around or in your 40's is indeed a time where you realize that a lot of people have gone, or where others are getting really old. Thank you for making inspiring music and teaching us! Great to hear that you get in the same zone (or struggle) when figuring out stuff as I do! It's not a given, we gotta keep playing to stay on top of our game (or beyond that)! Just pressing that rewind button over and over again to learn stuff!

SOLID

Guthrie , I've watched Al with Rick several times and that was the song that I kept coming back to . Thanks for helping to break the code for us ! 😊

You want comments, you get comments: love your channel, love the record, love your down-to-earth attitude and intensely complex sense of melody and harmony. I grab what I can; it's a lot to work out. I have to really study this stuff and break it down slow, or it don't stick. I'm working hard, don't slow down for me!

Ordered "In Stereo" LP...can't wait till it arrives. Both you and Tom did a fantastic job...much respect to you both for putting out music I want to hear and support. Rare these days.

Yes yes yes! Spanish music IS like the best blues! I’ve always thought this!

Fantastic playing as always. I like the idea of outside topics. Thanks for all the info !

Enjoy hearing you talk about learning and your enthusiasm for it. Not a musician but appreciate this channel - thanks GT.

Guthrie, I think people are mesmerized by your realness and fascinated by your playing. You are very smooth, to the point where it's hard to follow you slamming through the neck and making beautiful sounds. I know the basic fundamentals are boring but people are as advanced as you may give us credit for. Inversions are second nature to you but it can be confusing and frustrating to the layman. Even the concept of triads and the may variations of these sound easy but the plethora of options can overwhelm. Just a couple of thoughts. Keep up the great stuff and your channel.

Ok Guthrie, comment made , always happy to listen to your take you helped manny of us thru the recent shut down 👍

I really enjoyed your lessen keep On rocking brother

Thanks as ever you are genuinely inspirational.

Thanks for breaking that down for us, much appreciated!

I love this! I have done Norwegian Wood but not like this. It will be fun to dig deeper. Thanks!

Love Everything that you share with us! I always try to comment.. some are longer than others. Keep doing what you are doing! Play On, Brother!

That was the perfect guitar for that arrangement. 😎🤓

Love your content and positivity! Thanks for sharing your gifts and knowledge!

You're a legend Guthrie- Otis sent me!

Saw the Di Meola interview a while back. I consider myself decent on guitar, but Al is scary. To me, he is to acoustic guitar what Govan is on electric. They seem like from a different planet. And it's awesome to watch and hear. I won't get to where they are...but i will enjoy trying.

Holy shit, that was good. Gonna try a version. And thanks.

Are comments important? I thought I’d just be bothering you… but if it helps out I’ll start talking fer sure. Been digging your stuff for a long time, great work bro!

This is excellent thank you.

Wow, amazing stuff as always ❤

Going to check out that Beato vid right now. Sounds very interesting thanks a ton! Been uninspired lately and that sounds pretty damn cool

GoodVibes from Brazil, GT! You are one of the best guitarists today.

your very inspiring, keep up with the good knowledge.

Ole'! What a cool intro.

Happy Mother's Day to Mrs. Trapp 💙

Your playing is always so tasteful and entertaining

Bravo 👏

You have got your priorities straight, brother . Love you vids .

Inspiring take on that song!

Damn that ended up sounding like the whole orchestra was coming in

This is amazing.. inspiring. Your passion makes it come alive. I watched Al Di Meola do it live with Tablas on another video. I will check out Rick' interview now.

Beautiful playing and beautiful sentiments.

Hi Guthrie. Met you through Otis Gibbs' channel and came over to sub. Thanks man.

Love it. Thanks guthrie's mom we could enjoy this song.

Very Flamenco sounding.

Take apple cider vinegar with the mother before you eat anything. Take it in the morning on empty stomach. Just 2 to 3 teaspoons in a cup of water and make sure you use a straw. You can also take it 30 minutes before you go to bed and your stomach will definitely feel better guaranteed. It will also help you sleep and lose weight.

Definitely gonna check out that interview. That flat adds a little spice to and already intriguing melody! Cheers!

Nice..very nice.. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Rebecca from larkin poe did a killer version on tenor guitar a few years back, it's still on their instagram

That was phenomenal!

Always love to hear you play. Met you one time at NAMM and it was amazing watching you shred up close. Which Martin is that ? Considering an 00 for the couch!

Bravo!!!

Makes me think of John Fahey. That's good wood. Mahogany, rustic pine.. Wood is good food.

FYI - "IN STEREO" CD is SOLD OUT - you can "NOT" buy it using the link provided above.

Great picking, sir. I dig the Slavic/ middle eastern vibe. Is that a 000-28S? I play 000-15M

I'm glad that you're conscious about gut health and health in general. Many people in this circle are not aware of how import it all is. Start drinking Kombucha instead of beer, my favorite brand happens to be GT Kombucha. You can find it at health food stores and plenty of other stores too. You should also start doing some cardio each day. Cardio can have a profound impact on your overall health. Better yet, you can start hitting the gym 2/3 times a week. Just remember that it should be a lifestyle, not a chore. Best of luck with your health journey.

So good to hear you play a Beatles/John Lennon song, although never heard you mention the Beatles before, are you much of a fan? I’ve been tinkering with Norwegian Wood for years so excited to try this version.

Damn I love that... parts of that reminds me of some Ennio Morricone arrangements. Great stuff.

Any chance you’ll be at Tommy Emanuel guitar camp in Nashville?

Well said Guthrie. "All things in moderation except Love and Music." That's my philosophy. After almost fifty years as a full time Guitar player, I've come to that conclusion, the hard way. The accumulated wear and tear on the hands, WILL, not maybe, take it's toll on all of us. So I offer this bit of advice that saved my hands. I only eat 'Grass fed, free range beef'. And daily add a tablespoon or so of Free range, grass fed ' Beef Gelatin'. Sometimes labeled as 'Beef Collagen' . It's fucking magic. Ted Nugent, and Chuck Norris also praise the benefits of adding Beef Gelatin, 'Collagen' to their diet. It's got to be free range and grass fed. Anything else is shit. I get mine off Amazon 3lbs for fifty bucks from brand "Aspen Naturals'. Don't believe me, I'm only a Guitar Player. Do your own 'deep dive', you'll thank me later...

Food is medicine and, at times, I overdose.

Happy Mother's Day to all the crazy ladies❗ I went to AA today❤ I was talking about all my alcohol astonishments😝✌👀

Guthrie, is that a Martin 0012-28 Modern Deluxe?

I'm on the mind over matter system. Stress is the only enemy. You can consume just about anything and if you have no stress you're good. I'm not a doctor, just a guitar nerd with an internet connection.

I’d really love to order the vinyl if any left! Missed announcement how to. Please let me know! Thanks so much!

Better start drinking light beer, brother! Lol. Hey, you can still enjoy good food with good people. On those special days, just bank some of those calories for later in the evening. It's all about balance. As far as veggies, buy the frozen veggies. They're the freshest, believe it or not. They're pretty much flash frozen after they are picked. Plus they're easier to prepare. I've been doing 3 servings, twice a day for the past 5 years and I feel 20 years younger ever since. Lol. Balance

You should listen to some Greek music.Those guys are going thru scales like donuts.Even Hendrix knew a guy called Xiotis a monster picker
