Who else has this video on repeat so we can watch this lesson over and over?
These are the prime secrets of guitar. Thank you Guthrie Trapp.
Me
I just saved this video on my things to practice every day compilation!! I don't know how I stumbled onto Guthrie but I'm glad I did!!! He also mentioned Bruce Foreman(jazz Guy) whom I also like his playing so that's a plus!!! thank you for making these videos Guthrie!
This guy really gets to the essentials of mastering the fretboard, everything he said right here is to the point and valuable, feel lucky to have his videos as a resource, it will make me a better player
I feel the same. It seems to come effortlessly to him. I study this stuff too and I am nowhere near as good as he is. Do you like CAGED? Do you know all the notes on the fretboard? Learning both, and some licks is my current endeavor.
For as long as you don’t see 60% of comments saying that you talk too much, keep doing those nice videos the way you do. 🤓
Nikoo033 Ha! Thanks man!!
@@guthrietrappmusic I learn from your talking too
“There’s a lot of guitar in that space.” I love that line. Thanks for showing us
these hidden gems up and down the neck of the guitar.
Joelikesguitar Thanks man!!
Brilliant as always. If some guy says you talk too much, then take no heed, thats BS. Your explations are excellent and in plain speak, which makes what you say logical and completely fit. After 40yrs of playing, Im hanging off your every word-I wish I had known then what Im learning from you now. I thought I was a decent player but I was missing so very much. Sorted now though. Thanks so much for what youre doing.
Tony Leary Well thanks a bunch man! That means a lot.
I feel the same way, to me it’s straight to the point no nonsense valuable information that we can immediately apply
Very good stuff here folks. It don't get no better than this. Get the information, if you take your time and watch/listen and learn what he's offering here it could last you a lifetime. Keep in mind this is how he makes his living, so show some gratitude and give back. No I do not know him personally, but what I do know is that what he's teaching is worth something.
And by the way Guthrie, you do not talk to much. 😆 just the opposite in my opinion, the more you talk the more we understand.
This is the real deal teaching here. If you want to know your instrument better learn what he's showing you in this video.
Thanks Guthrie
Thank you so much man!! Means a whole lot.
30 minutes of the most crucial guitar information 👍
crazy because when I first saw you on Broadway playing with Don K I asked you if you were mainly playing out of the chord, and here you are teaching chord tones, but you keep your lines connected and employ alot of guitar techniques
This lesson is worth in gold. If you want to take your guitar playing to next level. Watch this video, and everything Guthrie shows here. If you dont understand something rewind and watch again until you do. Dont go to the next lesson or video. This concepts will take a while to sink in under fingers. Important part is that you understand the idea and then work on it until you dont have to think about it on the guitar. Guthrie thank you, you are a great player and teacher!
Thanks a bunch man!! You are right, this is crucial.
you're the kind of teacher I wish I had when I was a teenager. I'd probably be playing a guitar for a living as well.
Thanks a bunch man!! Happy to do some lessons with you also.
Light Bulbs going off!!! It just makes so much sense now...keeps me going Guthrie. Thanks mate. Cheers Marty from Melbourne.
Martin Gale Great!! Thanks man!!
Blown away! Don’t listen to the haters. No shortcuts advice! That is what is exactly missing in youtube! Thanks
samiebuka Thanks man!! 😎👍🎶
6 hours later...i have finish to learn the 40 sec of your improvisation. Thanks so much to help me understanding my favorite instrument. Your generosity is awesome. Best regards from france.
Thank you so much for your generosity and knowledge! My favorite teacher on UA-cam!
Jorey Reitman Thanks man!!
Many great players don't, but Guthrie has the gift as a teacher as well as being a great player.
Not only a great player but a great teacher. Rare.
Guthrie Trapp and Corey Congilio, my favourite teachers and helluva players!
This is a top notch lesson i paid to learn alot of what is in this video. I hope ppl realize how important this lesson is.
Joey Farley Thanks a lot man!!
3 month ago i strugle, but now i "see triads" .. great practice lesson ..open new world..Break down Big Barre chords 1 3 5 and u got triads.beautifull
Guthrie shows you that once you know the rules, you can break the rules…
Probably the best instructional video I’ve seen in 50 years of guitar playing …
If I ever meet you Guthrie, I will bring a bottle of VSOP Cognac ….
Music is the true religion…
That triad change for the dominant 7th and major 7th, from major. Is priceless for me today. I’ve hit a wall with the guitar, wanted to be a blues man. So like every one else learnt all the pentatonic scales and shapes. And wasn’t ever playing the changes. I could hear the notes in the pentatonic, but never played the change. So have recently resolved myself to learn the triads. Have only been doing major and minors trying to sing them and play them and trying to call out the thirds and fifths. To get my ears more able to hear the inversions. All feels clunky, but understand as you mention in the vid. You have to put the work in. But that one little trick a turned a light on. On;y just found you and Tom, from the Brad pappa footage of that gig you did for in stereo. I’m 52 and the only music I’ve ever heard that moved me before was from the 70s. You two are the only two musicians I can think of that put me in that space. Who are current and best of all open and transparent about their craft. And share like you do. Been a rough three years been a black dog on my tail. But you two made see. The guitar is a place you can put that negativity and learn to smile again.
Thank you both.
You do not talk to much ! It’s great that you explain in detail ! 😎
This is one of those videos that connected a bunch of different things for me. Mind blown.
Alex Hanger Great!! Thanks man!!
GT has changed the way I play- it's not just the theory of playing and how different strands of knowledge relate to one another but he doesn't overlook the mechanics of playing either. I haven't come across anyone else on UA-cam with that combination. I have been playing for nearly 40 years and I learn something new each video.
David Campbell Wow. Thanks so much man!! Means a lot.
I am on month 3 of the ArtistWorks material and this all fits together. Wish this was around when I was younger. My wife calls it my self indulgent routine. LOL. Having fun.
Michael P Awesome! Thanks a bunch man! Spread the word! 😎👍🎶
Guthrie's Artist Works Online Curriculum is a amazing learning platform. Just started the beginner section on lesson 12 and it has been a amazing eye opener
Donland landdon Awesome man!! Thanks a bunch.
If I’m understanding things...the key is knowing where the 1,3,5 is of the chord you are playing over all over the the neck and then using other intervals to add flavor, but trying to emphasize the main triad in each chord as safe tones.
Qstick333 Yes. That’s the idea. Those key chord tones are where you want to start and end for the most part.
I saw you quite a few years ago playing with Jerry Douglas on Vancouver island. You have no idea how much of a blessing that was for me. This was probably twenty years ago or so. I have some photos of yall if you ever want some. I gave Jerry a big photo with him and Sonny Landreth or Bill Frissel or Lindlay. God bless yall
Thank you for giving me a new access to playing the guitar. After a break of 25 years I started to play the guitar two years ago and with the help of youtube tutorials it is now muck easier to make progress, especially because of your great tutorials, my guitar playing improved significantly. I am a huge fan of you, your person and your guitar playing. Unfortunarely my familiy (wife and 5 kids, 2 dogs, 4 cats... and 7 chicken) has to suffer, because they find me more and more spending hours in my music room, practice my guitar playing. If I ever come to Nashville I would like to see a concert of yours. Maybe you are going an a tour in Europe. If so, then please stop in Vienna, Austria, I will be there.
Thank you that you exist on this planet an enriched my life.
Greetings from Austria
Robert
Robert Buketits Wow. Thanks a bunch man!! My ancestors are from Austria. I’d love to see it sometime!
Guthrie Trapp are you a descendant of the famous Trapp family?
You do not talk to much. These are Great informative lessons to
Make us better. It’s really improved my playing. Thanks Guthrie.
You the man. I have been playing for years doing double stops, triple stops, and quad stops, but just now finding out what Triads are called. Sort of funny. You are a great teacher and musician.
I'm actually starting to understand how to sound good when I play, instead of guessing, I've been playing for over 30 yrs but now I'm progressing, thanks for the lesson
No, Guthrie, you're not talking too much. Everything you're saying clearly illustrates what you're doing on the guitar and helps players understand how and why it works. Great lesson. Thanks.
davess23 Thank you man!
Another super useful & insightful lesson, you are a wise and generous man G.T. Thanks. & you don't talk to much!
batstube Thanks a bunch man!!
You are really teaching very well in This video of moving the triads,Guthrie. Any one who says you don’t teach on your You Tube videos is a fool or ignorant of the guitar👍👏
Jim from Western PA
This video is incredible. Saving this to come back to again and again.
I can highly commend the patience a /pro /player/ has to stop his engine on the tracks just to wave to his peers! I`ve been eatin this content up! Greatly appreciated!
Rory McClellan Thanks a bunch man!!
Thanks Guthrie when I listen to you I know my guitar playing is gonna move to another level, you make so much sense
Duncan Graver Thanks so much man!!
I've likely commented on this video before and for me it's perfect exercise work, but I can see many of us will be overwhelmed by the amount of complexity that it "seems" to represent. But, guys, that is what the stop button is for. Use it! STOP and go back, over and over if necessary because this is the stuff we all need to get. Don't give up. Go as slow as you need. Learn a bit and hold on that until it sticks. Come back tomorrow and go over it again and learn some more!
I'm gonna have to watch this another hundred times or so, there is just so much in there to apply. You say that you don't talk much about theory, but your perspective is theory interpreted(I think I just made that one up, sounds true so I'm sticking with it!). Hearing/seeing how you connect caged positions, broken chords, triads and scales lights up a road for me to follow. Thanks GT this was great lesson 👍
It will click! Thanks a bunch man!!
This popped up on my screen and I have to say it is the best explanation of triads and how to use the caged system to understand how the guitar works that I have ever seen. Thanks! Now I have some work to do.
As always thanks Guthrie... funny how often I hear teachers explaining that the chords up the neck have everything to do with lead playing because I'm no pro but I do understand that you have to be able to see those notes. I'm working on it every day.
Jeremy Gayness Thanks man! It does work. It’s everything.
This one video has got some major light bulbs of understanding going on for me. Thanks Guthrie. Anytime I see a notification that you've posted a new video I stop what I'm doing and watch.
Jeff Hight Awesome man!! Thanks !!
Great stuff! The way you break down the cords opens up the fretboard. Thank you, keep up the good work.
Carl Craig Thanks man!!
@@guthrietrappmusic you're welcome.
Another outstanding video! Thank you Guthrie Trapp! It’s always awesome when I end my shift at the hospital and find a new upload! Much obliged!
mike finn Thanks man!
Didn't sleep very well last night so I'm not counting on learning a whole lot, but I saw GT with a 335 and I had to click it. I doubt anything is going to stick to my brain this go around, but you are always a pleasure to watch and listen to, Mr Trapp. I hope you are doing well!
Guthrie thanks for all you do…and no you don’t talk to much…instructors have a tendency to gloss over key things the student needs to know, because the instructor assumes the student already knows it. Sometimes it’s the forgotten details(what the instructor leaves out) that are what’s required for the students to make the connection. A good teacher explains why and how the things we “practice” relate to the ultimate goal of learning the skill. Please keep doing what you do…I don’t think the folks that are being critical realize how lucky they are to have a professional take personal time from their busy schedule and make the huge effort to share precisely, gems learned over a lifetime of playing the instrument. Thanks!
Wish we had UA-cam and access to such great players like you back in the 90s when I was starting. Thanks a million
Man, your lessons are a gift! The only teacher that really conserve's the feeling of the playing without boring theories.
Lander Thanks a bunch man!!
Guthrie and Ford Thurston are bringing you tube lessons to a more advanced level, and I love it
Gary Eggleton Thanks man!!!
You my friend have a majestic connection to the Guitar
I've got to say bud, this is one of the better approaches in my opinion for actually practicing and learning the fretboard. I think this is probably the most effecient way I've found yet to learn your intervals as well and to tie the caged barre chords to the everything, pentatonics, diatonics even the arpegios should come way quicker seeing things this way. Thank you so much for sharing with our community. Thats for real a cool thing to do. thanks again. Mike S.
Thanks a bunch man!! It does work!!
Man, that was a great lesson. When you played those tasteful lead guitar lines, I could hear EVERY chord change underneath! Your method of teaching is so easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and God bless!
Beebocaster96 Great!! Thanks a bunch man!!
What Guthrie’s saying really works. Focusing on the chord shapes, triad inversions and intervals has totally changed my ability to play melodically and navigate the fretboard. I was surprised how quickly I improved when I started studying this method after seeing Guthrie talk about it in his first Brett Papa interview appearance. Joey Landreth also references learning the neck in triad inversions and intervals in his interviews. It’s the missing piece if you’re stuck in the pentatonic boxes like I was. Thank you Guthrie for changing my musical life and sharing your knowledge. You’re an amazing player and a good human being.
I think I know a lot of this stuff but I can't articulate it. I'm self taught, so didn't spend any time on theory.
I'll have to watch a few times
MontereyBayMusic Wow. Thanks a bunch man! It does work and it changed my life also when I learned this and the caged system. It’s all the same.
Thanks GT, you are breaking it down in plain simple terms. If you are new to this, or if you've been playing for a good period of time, this is important to have under your fingers. Another important factor as this is worked on is the amount of ear training that comes with it. Thanks again GT.
steelfistIII Thanks a bunch man!!
I have watched this lesson thirty times since August 2019 and I pick something up every-time. Every word is gold Guthrie. You haven't spoken too much. Keep em coming man !
I made it 20 years with no lessons teaching myself out of guitar world tabs. Needless to say all I really knew how to do was a couple positions of minor pentatonic and that’s really it. Was interested in jazz after seeing a guy perform solo in a bar and started taking lessons from him. We started with the major scale and worked our way up from there. Learning these basics will change your playing immediately! I wish I would have learned this stuff when I started out. I’d be so much better than I am now. Great lesson Guthrie!
Bourbon Bob It’s so true!! Thanks a bunch man!!
This is one of the best in explaining the triad when playing the chord and arpeggio. Once must have some basic understanding of the triad and inversion to fully digest this. This helps a lot to visualize the notes and chord.
This was an incredibly helpful lesson for me. Thanks so much.
All time best guitar lesson on you tube. Never considered flattening the tonic note to get diminished 7ths, other kinds of 7ths!
Me neither, opens up a whole new world 😁
I only play at home alone but I can imagine this getting even better bandwise when your bass players is playing the tonic
Guthrie you are a great guy, an amazing teacher and player. Ive been playing a long time and nobody breaks it down in such an easy and understandable way as you. Thanks to you my mission is to become fluent in all major minor and dominant inversions all over the neck then find all the musical lines within those shapes!! Thanks my friend you are Aces!!
Nick Troiano Thanks a bunch man!! Means a lot.
I'm from England and take it from me, you do not talk too much.
At all. I love how enthusiastic you are and your use of language, keep it up dude, really enjoying your videos.
Cheers Guthrie, pure gold
I love your approach. Narrating as you illustrate the examples is clearly you thinking out loud. It gives the viewer a chance to really get inside how you get the best out of your performance each step of the way.
I sure am glad that UA-cam keeps the content posted. I just went over this again. And your breakdown of the maj 7 minor 7 minor 3rd is so helpful. I know all of the arpeggios all over the neck so with this info now I can work on the root position, 1st inversion and 2nd inversion. Understanding where they are with ease. Guthrie you say you're not a music professor but you sure know how to breakdown and understand the whole layout of the guitar.
Excellent explanation of the building blocks needed to navigate around, and learn the notes on the neck needed for improvising and breaking out of the pentatonic box. This explains the CAGED system in depth. Thanks!
We're here because we like your playing. You're doing a great job presenting the material Just the right amount of talking and playing. This triad stuff is great and what I like about your playing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Sellarmusic Well thanks man!! Happy to help.
You sir are a great teacher! Thank you so much for this video. A light bulb finally came on!
Forrest Campbell Thanks a ton man!! Great!!
Good Advice Guthrie. Your discussions are useful even old guys like me. I have been playing for about 60 years and spent at least 50 of those years playing clubs. I haven't been in Nashville since 1971. You talk too much? Nah! Hey isn't that an old blues tune by Albert Collins? 😀
David Bennett Ha!! Yes it is! Thanks a ton man!!
One of the best lessons I have seen!
I liked the movable chords you discuss, especially the C shape. I have never used that before and I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that, since I've been playing since about 1966! Never too old to learn something new. Thanks for showing that.
We're with you man, keep it coming. You are changing player's lives by explaining all this stuff the way you understand it. One thing that kind of hit me the other day is that your basic E, A and D shapes are structurally the same with 5, 1, 3 from top to bottom. That's pretty useful to keep in mind because you always move the lower string for major to minor change. The middle string always controls Maj7 or Dominant. Pretty cool when you sit there and think about it.
Landon Cunningham Thanks man! That’s right. I never thought of that 😎👍🎶
Great educational lesson on triads and chord tones
Nope, you did not not talk too much. You talked so much sense! Great great video!
Thanks again Guthrie. This is a very complete and valuable 30mins. How to finally start to understand the fretboard? It's all here, in one amazing lesson. I wish I had this when I was 13 years old. This information was Impossible to find then, I didn't even know how to properly ask for what I was looking for, but I knew the sound I wanted to achieve. This is Gold Guthrie. Thanks for everything you've given to us on here. I now can put on a jam track and ideas I have actually make it to my fingers and on to the fretboard. That's something I couldn't figure out for almost 20 years, and now in 6 months, with your direction, it's possible.
Lance Cluff Great man!! Thanks a bunch!! 😎👍🎶
I'm late to the party, but this filled in so many blanks I can't say enough thanks..
Going back to basics while sheltering in place. This has helped greatly. Everyone needs to know this stuff no matter your level of playing.
Thanks Guthrie!
Keep talking keep teaching. Your great at playing and great at teaching. I really injoy your videos. Im playing better and injoying my self. I played guitar in my younger days, then quit for 36 years. Its good to see what your teaching. It brings back good memories of when and how i practiced and studied. Thanks
This is pure gold! Thanks!
Hi Trapp,Ur words r straight to the point wrapped with sincerity and love.
it is an honour to learn from u as u laid me into the real groove of guitar playing.
You’re a great teacher my friend. Making sense after all these years!
You are the best man. So down to earth and humble. I got serious about guitar about four yrs ago diving into scales and such. I recently finally devoted myself to triads and my guitar life has changed completely. I don’t read music or anything, but it’s so true to say how triads open everything up and essentially result in a closer intimacy with the notes on the neck and all the connections to chords and scales. Progressions and leads just wash over you. Triads triads triads!
I really hope people understand how gold this lesson is.
Guth, at 12:41 you state a game changing moment for me with the four types of chords to think about. Thanks man.
Thanks for a great lesson. I always hear triads are very important but nobody seems to explain how to use them for us common guitar folks. Thumps up!
Papie Great! Thanks man!
Thank You Sir...I have only recently cracked open my mind around the everything-ness of triads, or more importantly, recognizing the sounds of these triads and the relationship of those sounds to each other....I actually don't have the words to express how fundamentally life changing this is but I thank musicians and teachers like you and Tomo F. for showing me the light....
I love this. I've known for a while that if you can build a basic major triad you can reach all of those other voicing the same way around the neck. But it's been a challenging actually wrapping my head around it and putting it into practice. This explanation is great...lots of stuff finally clicking!
trushack Great!! Thanks man!!
So great stuff Guthrie! It changed your life and now it is changing mine also ...
Unreal guitar playing, all your lesson are brilliant and well informed. Thank you for sharing your skills with us mere mortals, much appreciated Guthrie
Matthew Allen Wow. Thanks a ton man!! Means a lot.
Beautifully explained as always. Thanks Guthrie
frankvaleron Thanks man!!!
Thank you for pouring into us your music knowledge. I followed guys in Contemporary Christian guitarist like Gordan Kennedy, Tom Hemby, Lincoln Brewster, etc. I would just listen to records they played on trying to pick up what they were doing. Now, you come along actually showing us. Thank you sir.
ancctech Thanks a bunch man!! You’re welcome!!
thanks for what you do, Guthrie. french classes teach grammatically correct french. it’s nothing like the way the french really talk to each other. thanks for keeping the music real, my friend.
Anonymous et alia Thanks man!!
That's my week sorted !
Awesome GT, Thank You
Dave Burgess Thanks man!!
@GuthrieTrapp Thank you so much for what you share here and the way you share it, great content and great presentation - don't change a thing!. For many these videos are truly life changing. I hope you know that!. And the only way "talk too much" comment makes any sense to me is if you take it in the sense that when you play its just so amazing and wonderful to listen to, such beautiful musicality, and feeling!. I don't think you could talk or play too much!... I LOVE hearing what you have to say and when you play I'm just stunned. Thank you!.
DJ McCloskey Thanks so much man!! Means a lot 👍😎🎶
People that say you talk too much are idiots. Either they know the material or not. If they already know it, they should move to your next lesson. If they need to learn it, they should sure as hell listen to your wisdom and amazing teaching approach. Keep doing it man!
Absolutely magic Guthrie, thank you for another brilliant video.
Steve Pike Thanks a ton!!
Guthrie I love your videos and learn from them. In my humble opinion 😁, this is one of your BESt teaching UA-cam video on triads and building from them👍👏
Thank you very much! This lesson is perfect timing for my guitar journey.
Richard Rogo Great! Thanks man!!
Wish you were around when I was Twelve! It’s changed how I play at 55, thankyou
Thank you for showing the things you have learned and the work you have done, I can only speak for myself, but I know I can say everyone who loves music, appreciates you so much for giving us a chance to learn from a true artist.
charles baviera Thanks a bunch man!!
Great demonstration of the chords inversions and how they are sewn progressively to bring out that melodic sound from the strings , thanks for sharing your expertise on guitar bro.
Great Video! Highlights how much seeing triads up and down is super important.
You definitely did not talk too much, great lesson,ty!
Billy Jack Freeman Thanks man!!
