Love the fundamental stuff. Probably 90% of us are hobby players and this gets us going in the right direction. Thanks buddy.

« You’re not changing keys, but you are changing chords, so you have to honor that chord change » that’s a gold nugget of wisdom right there!

Please, please keep this level of teaching coming. You’re always going to have new lesser experienced people watching your channel, this is a big help.

Even when I know the chord shapes, scales, arpeggios, & double stops, it’s the style you use with them that teaches me more. Hence the likes, subs & tip that we can’t afford to ignore if we want lessons like this to keep coming. Thanks GT.

Great to hear!

I know you didn’t, but please don’t apologise for going back to the basics . I always learn something or have that lightbulb moment. Appreciate you Guthrie

Its incredible everyone. I have played 45 years and just 5-years ago I discovered Guthrie. Now all I see is chord tones / shapes. Before I made a sound, now I think I understand what I am doing. Guthries practical approach is totally priceless. I need a bit of surgical maintenance on the hands but shit I think I now get it. Dont underestimate what GT is telling us. IT IS GOLD!

Thank you for keeping it simple. Great break down to 3 strings! Dude I'm 60,have been playing since I was 7,luv ya bro and thanx to uncle Larry for turning me on to you!sweet

The cool thing is that it’s not even just about “breaking it down to 3 strings”. I think it’s a very common belief among beginners that you have to use all six strings when playing chords etc. There is so much more power in using triads (3-string) and 2-string chords or “double stops”. They almost always do more to serve the song. “Less is more” is commonly said, but it is so true. 👍

Thank you for explaining these things and breaking it down so it makes sense and also sharing your knowledge I wish you knew how much it's means to me Thank you again.

@@guthrietrappmusic very helpful indeed. Thank you

Hi Guthrie, your previous lesson 5 days ago in A is an absolutely top class material with those B.B. King style phrasings. I will spend some time on that for sure, thank you! You and Jack Ruch are both tasteful, very alike slow blues players and teachers in my opinion, it would be a pleasure to see the two of you play the blues together.

Awesome GT. Can't wait to spend my afternoon on this. You're the real deal and it shines through all your videos.

Much appreciated!

back in the day all i had was some hippy at Lous music land in Stratford ct show how to play the freebird cowboy chords!! now we have guys like you!! the future is pretty cool at least we have you instead flying car my 3rd grade teacher Ms Sherman promised me: Thanks man

As simple as thus appears to be, it is totally incredible. Music comes from listening, experience and creativity but this is the HOW! F***ng brlliant. I dont want to learn from a teacher, I want to learn from a proper musician and guitarist. The real deal. Artistworks is brilliant but from the video exchanges. I lost it but am now totally re-inspired. THNAK YOU

Real talk thank GT I wish someone woulda said this to me 20 years ago lol

Working on this today as my guitar practice for the day

Your lesson on blues over A totally clicked. Yes... I understood hitting the money notes over the chords and was trying that... but after 40 years playing around with this instrument something clicked during that lesson. I think it was not only hitting the chord tones, I was doing that but the notes before and after the money tones also. Thank you so much.

Thanks Guthrie. Another generous sharing of knowledge. Have a great weekend😊

My pleasure!

I live here in Indiana and visit my son in Nashville time to time. I play semi professionally up here. I just have to say that really appreciate you and uncle Larry so much! There isn’t much chance to play with musicians that challenge each other in a positive musical way around here doing cover songs. I glean so much from you guys it’s amazing and it works in my playing! I love your simple stripped down no nonsense videos! Thank you ! Great advice and lessons

Thanks Guthrie, another amazing lesson. I would love it if you did a lesson on modulation, as I’m sure many would

So many gold nuggets🤩

These might be the best lessons on KZread. Thanks Trapp. 🙏🏽

Keep bringing it GT! Luv these lessons!

Damn! Hanging with Rick Rubin! So happy for you man.

And for exhibit A, there’s the melody that Mr. Big had a global hit with, reaching audiences that would never listen to full-on rock.

The Jazz Master himself❤ with more feel🔥🎶

Guitar gold indeed - such a great lesson! So much material compressed into 20 mins, it will last me for weeks. Cannot believe its free - huge THANK YOU 🙏

More drops of gold along the guitar learning path! Thank you Guthrie Trapp!

Great lesson! Keeping it simple has opened up my playing to sounding musical and not like running scales, thank you GT

I needed this today. Thanks GT!

I like how melodic you play while improvising!

Great lesson again Guthrie! I’ve learned so much about what I can do on those three strings that I didn’t know before! You are helping me leave the perpetual “intermediate” level I had been at for 20 years. Thank you for all the amazing knowledge you share with us all!!

Thanks GT! Lessons and vibes are always the best!

It' amazing how you squeeze such great music out of three strings and simple chord changes! Really appreciate all that you do, and the nuggets of wisdom that you drop.

Great insight on the triad arrangements. Thanks a lot Guthrie.

You’re an amazing teacher Guthrie

Uncle Larry is becoming well known for his use of the Ge-7. Would love you to tweak your tele and 335 using a compressor, Ge-7 and the Halo. Mabe Uncle Larry could stop by and put in his 2 cents. I think it would be an epic episode. 😎🤓

Dude! so good. I love this kind of simple, three strings, right out of the chord shapes, MUSIC. Thank you!

Another absolute GEM of a lesson. I’m still practicing all of the pentatonics, arpeggios, and major scales that match up with each Triad. Can’t wait until I save up enough for a lesson so I can’t take it to the next level

Thanks for that info on fun-A-Mentals ...I think I can get hy head around that.

Man you are living the life and those fundamentals (caged,triads etc…) got you there but who you as a person keeps you there🎸

Fantastic stuff GT! Exactly what I've working on. Long way to go but I'm getting there with yiur help! Thank you sir!

Great material dude… your lessons are incredibly helpful… but more importantly… thank you brother for taking the time to share 🙏

Happy Friday

👏🙏

I saw you “Live at the Underdog with Tom Bukovac” … that was unbelievably good! Superb playing!

Great way to break it down. I'm working on triad soloing and this one of the most helpful and clearest demonstrations on video I've seen. You nailed it Guthrie.👍👍👍😀

You're awesome GT!

Can’t wait to see the next set of strings. Great video.

Love the no BS, get to the point approach here.

Very helpful. I appreciate that you make a point to return to the basics now and then. Keeping things simple help me play with more intention. Cheers

Thanks GT!!!

Got to thank you for the Soul Stew tip. Stellar stuff.

Very well explained

Another fantastic lesson thanks you GT

Soooo good!! Thanks GT!

Love this! Super helpful!

Thanks for the videos and lessons!

Bare bones for some , but keys to open doors for the rest of us. Thanks again.

That is a beautiful axe my friend. The tone is to die for. Oh yeah, you play pretty good too! 😎

Always worth it, thanks Guthrie

Hey Guthrie, hi from New Zealand, I'm another guy who has benefited from your fantastic lessons over the past few years. You have an amazing depth of talent and wonderful guitar history in the states. I'll make it to Nashville one day. Monday night at the Underdog right?

Good Stuff! Thanks

Thanks Dude! Good stuff. I look forward to your postings.....

Always great ideas ⚡️🎸⚡️

This IS where I am Great Video Lesson Guthrie, as I have worked Hard to get THIS. Thank YOU from a older 66 yo will be.

Simple is better...Mahalo GT!

Just saw that video of you with the 58 Tele at Carter’s. Killer!

Guthrie, I'm concerned 🤭

Great stuff, GT. I really like hearing your melodious playing when all you're doing is improvising. I try to do the same when I'm practicing. Still, I'm always inspired by hearing you! What you're teaching today is not new to me, but having you explain it in a different way helps to "cement" it in my mind. I wish I had friends like you! It'd be awesome to spend time together with ya, but I sure can't afford the "immersion experience," lol. If we were friends (like I'm sure we would be if we met, cuz you'd like me as well), I wouldn't have to pay to spend time together, y'know?! At least, I'd hope not! Stay frosty! 👍 👌 🤪 PS, Have fun with Dennis. He's another guy I think I'd be friends with, if only we traveled in the same circles. Maybe I need to move to Nashville?

Woahhhh. That’s amazing. Hanging out with Dennis quad _and_ Rick Rubin? Hopefully you can report a post-trip update on how that goes.

Sounds like you've been listening to "Devil woman" by the great Marty Robbins. Great stuff!

Denis Quad is an awesome guy. Great dude with great morals. Hell yeah! Also, great simplistic lesson.

GT , vaya con dios✌🏻🎶🎸

Man yeah..

Best one yet brother Guthrie!!... not to do the extreme Keith Richard's thing by cutting off a string...I'll pretend I don't have a low E A D string

And still learning

You'll be in Boston on the 15th? Details? Are you playing/performing? It'd be great to see you live again!

👍

What gift for Friday - thank you. Guthrie I’m learning your solo from New Walking Blues (love the song btw)- please tell me if you did the 3 semitones bend in 01:32 on high e or b string? Are there any rules how much you can bend on e?

Hey GT, not seeing your show listed on the Bitter-End website (NYC). can you share a link where we can buy tickets online, or is it a day-of only? Love the channel--don't change a thing.

What are some good places to eat in Nashville? Wife and I are coming to Nashville for both nights at 3rd and Lindsley. Nothing too fancy. I’m sure she’s thinking brunch. 😂

Dang, that guitar sounds sweet! What year is it?

you are getting such a sweet sound! What amp are you using? Are we hearing a blackface Princeton? original or reissue?

As much as I love your playing, after all the video is free but if you loop something to play over, I think you’d get that much more viewership.

" I'm Busted " by Ray Charles . The melody ? Triads .

Sounds like Willie...

It seems like the 5 is worth least in terms of sound.
