Thanks so much for all the comments, positive feedback and support. Can’t tell you how much that means to me and helps me stay motivated. Y’all are the best!!
14:11. Some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard
God bless YOU!
Yeh I see what your saying, but is there a book that explans how to match up
the major minor, flat 5s and stuff like that?
Bluegrass is my specialty... New country as well .
You’re the one out there doing it! Hoping to get you here to Houston. I found my connection to a kickass place, so will have em reach out.
As for video- I’ve been challenging myself to play an interesting rhythm track with one guitar. As if I only had space to record two guitars. Also, going outside of standard guitar keys…not sticking to the comfort zone.
What a blessing Guthrie is ! I’m 55 years old. Been playing since I’m 10. Played at a semi professional level for a long time. Many years it was my only source of income. I’ve come to realize that I knew enough to be good enough to cover songs , learn leads , and learn by ear. I’ve only scratched the surface…. Time to jump in and really learn guitar. What a great time to be alive.
Thanks so much, man. Means a lot to me.
Definitely! There's so much easily accessible information out there now you can basically learn any way you want.
44 and been playing since 18 (yep a real late starter!), and the same here (apart from the playing semi-professionally bit haha), guys like Guthrie and others on here are opening up whole new worlds...
You make me hopeful in making a difference , before I croak.
Thank you op: tears in my eyes, and a drop of destiny.
50 same!
Playing the guitar instead of the guitar playing you! Sums it up perfectly
Eric Johnson called .. something about wanting his tone back .. (and his licks .. LOL). That's a compliment people .. great playing...great stuff!!
Guthrie, I just found your channel and I have to say I love your style of playing and ability to communicate. I’m a 50 something dude who’s been trying to play for years and for me, life has always gotten in the way of practicing and improving. I’ve always been confused: so many styles, so much to learn. Where should I really start if I’m ever going to improve? This video really helped me think about things differently. Thank you.
Great stuff as always.
I sent my boss some of you're clips. He has friends in Nashville and he went to see you last week. Said it was so good that he wanted to cry at times.
He also said you'd remember him because he was tore up and you told him he needed to go home! Lol
You gave him a couple of CD"s too.
I just wish I could have been there.
Thanks again for sharing your tips and encouragement.
Thanks Guthrie I’ve learned so much just from ur podcasts but your right I need to go deeper now
I am always amazed at your talent and how humble you are, keep up the good work!!!!
I cannot THANK YOU enough for this simple clear bit of information. I am an intermediate player, know CAGED, know some scales. Haven't really been sure how to improve. I just haven't been able to put my learning together. You just dropped the key in my lap. Pulled everything together for me. Still so much more to learn always of course, but now I feel like I am finally building on something instead of learning disconnected bits. Solid Gold. So very grateful Guthrie.
You are right! It became clear to me years ago, and my eyes opened!
Lovely to see that you are intent on exploring what we have (literally) under our digits. Inspiring.
So inspiring sir... humble, forthright man making beautiful sounds.
Thanks Guthrie! I am encouraged by your recommendations. Mostly what I have been working on.
A great lesson as always, Guthrie. We’re lucky to have a guy like you that is an astounding player as well as a teacher. My playing and. Fretboard awareness have increased exponentially since taking your courses on ArtistWorks and watching your UA-cam videos. Keep up the great work.
You make me want to continue this journey playing guitar Guthrie. Your amazing in many ways and your humbleness is rare these days especially with famous musicians. Your a light in this dark world and many like myself cherish that. I appreciate all your music. Stay blessed my friend 👍😋
Guthrie, every video you make just blows my mind !! I learn so much from each one. Your love of music and teaching is very apparent. Just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge. Please keep making these videos. Peace and much love brother.
Thanks a bunch, man!
Awesome video as always. I already kind of understood the CAGED system, but it was you who helped me integrate that with Arpeggio scales. Since then I've understood so much more. Thank you
You are awesome Guthrie !
Thanks so very much for sharing this ❤
Love the trio clips! Thank you, Guthrie. A most enjoyable lessen!
Thank you!
once again, awesome video, thanks Guthrie!
Man, just found this and I know its an old video but it will be useful. I and many others got to meet you at Andy Woods Woodshed last year and that was great. He still talks about the night you said, "well I have this song and it only has two chords" and then brought the heat and brought the house down. Thanks for this because a lot of us can play some stuff but wonder how to make it musical. And we "know" things but not necessarily on a "deep dive level" as you put it. So thanks for this it is very helpful. I am taking from Andy once a month and from another guy, but it is always great to get different perspectives and I feel like these type of lessons are helpful for me! Thanks!
He plays so freely and with a beautiful clean technique
Thank you!
I’ve really tried to hammer this stuff out the last few years.its so awesome.i don’t try n learn songs or other peoples leads.i practice chord progressions in every way possible.as many shapes and inversions as I can figure out,through the caged system and scales.major scale is everything ..especially since I don’t look at them as shapes anymore, but by notes and keys.you know the major scale you know every mode ,minor scale etc.
I appreciate your honesty, being upfront and real with us. I’ve heard a lot of guys calling themselves guitar teachers and having a “new” way of doing things. They’re saying you need to get away from those boring scales and the cage method or system. I’m a sax player that started playing guitar before I started playing sax. I gave the sax all of my attention and played guitar off and on but never got serious about it until I stopped playing sax. I always loved the beautiful sound of the guitar. My sax teachers always told me to learn the basics. Your explanation was simply and can easily be applied. Seeing the guitar, single notes and the chords as “one” and bringing it all together will really help me improve as a musician. Thanks again, great sound, great playing. Love that pedal too.
Thanks a bunch, man! Really means a lot.
Love your clean sound!
Just finished a year of your Artist Works course, and I have to say that it was one of best things I’ve ever done to solve the guitar ‘puzzle’. In the past I spent way too much time trying to understand the modes and couldn’t make musical sense out of them, even though I had all of the shapes memorized. Once I started learning the CAGED system the entire fret board opened up for me. The chord dictates the arpeggio, pentatonic and scale to be played. WOW! What an eye opener for me.
Thanks for everything you do Guthrie!
Awesome! Thanks a bunch. Means a lot.
Thanks so much for what you do! Watching your videos has really helped me over the past few years. I love the vibe/feel of your playing, and it has really inspired me to improve mine
Thanks so much!
Guthrie just brilliant! Thanks for all you share and your work.
Man!!! Your videos are always great! Always make me want to play more guitar!! Thank you!!
Excellent perspective Guthrie! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your chord melody lines are awesome and musical!
Thank you!
Saw you on another video w Brett papa. Blown away. Felt inspired for the first time in a looong time. I’ve been ‘stuck’ in the pentatonic.
What a monster tone! Thank you for teaching us mere mortals!
Mind blown 😃. I can't wait to put some time into this! Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication 🙌
It always re-opens my mind watching you play amazing, unique and creative things in positions I feel stagnant over. Thank you for sharing your crazy high level skills and knowledge with the word. You are always inspiring.
Glad I have a person who has this much experience, willing to freely share this wealth of knowledge. Thanks Guthrie. I look forward to these videos more than you know.
Thanks a bunch, man. Happy to help.
I love the piece you played near the end.
Pure Gold. Just doesn't get any better.
Here’s my testimony!!! I started focusing on wanting to learn lead and soloing. I listened and watched all of his UA-cam videos and purchased his artist works lessons which is fabulous. Let’s put it this way I’m 3 years in and recording an album with Eric Clapton’s drummer. I’d say Guthrie knows what he’s talking about 👍🏼🤘🏼🙏
That’s awesome! Thanks a bunch, man!
@@guthrietrappmusic you got it brother!!
@@AFullNelson congratulations 🎉
Hey Guthrie, just thanks being an inspiration to play when I don't have any. Your lessons always get me fired up, and I really, really appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch, man!
Just endorsing Guthries advice when I say that what he is teaching here is not a short cut to the destination, it's a direct route that eliminates many of the dead ends and swamps that we can all get drawn into looking for shortcuts. I was bogged down for years but this is what set me free.
Thank you Guthrie for your prowess and insight into theory and how important it is!
Holy cow!! I flipped when I saw your video while watching my guitar teacher teaching a song. I think it's great that you take your extensive knowledge of the guitar and teach others! You're a MAJOR player in the world of music and to see you teaching others is absolutely an honor and a blessing to me! I learn from only teachers that I can follow easily and understand. You are now one of the very, very few I'm going to be watching and learning from. Thank you for doing this and sharing your extensive knowledge, it's very exciting indeed. ( btw, since you mention Billy Gibbons, my wife and I have front row seats with vip upgrade to see ZZTop with Jeff Beck at the Oak Mountain Amphitheater in Birmingham, AL on September 29th)
Love it man! Great playing!!!
Guthrie, I just purchased a 3 month package for your ArtistWorks lessons and already love it. You're a darn good teacher...and I just wanted to say thank you for being so generous with your wealth of information.
Thanks a bunch!
That part wqhere you added the A Mixolydian with the other things immediately revealed to my ears the secret sauce to Eric Johnson's sound/approach. Transported me to that "state" to play from. Very cool stuff. I'm a newbie to your channel just watched a few this morning and got here and will be really exploring this when I get my guitar back, getting a new neck out on. This week gonna feel like a month waiting! Great playing.
I've been a gigging guitar player for years. Love your videos. Gives me some new ideas to try on gigs.
Wish you’d been around 20 years ago - it took me waaay too long to work this out myself, and when I did it changed everything
Got a lot out of that actually. Thank you!
That opening tone was magic!
I started trying to play every song in different places on the neck. I also learned all the notes on the neck through leaning triads and have found a whole new way of expressing my noodling. I already knew every box of the pentatonic scale and was stuck in it as you said, you can play it but it isn't really music. Your advice IMO is a game changer!!!!!
Awesome! Thanks, man!
Thanks for the encouragement
Thank you for sharing your time and talent. You have wonderful licks and tones, and it's cool you shared your FX and amp setting with us. Thanks again! I subscribed. Have a great day.
Hey, Guthrie!
Good advice.
And, nice notes & tones.
Sounds great!
You always explain things is a way that makes musical sense., and your playing is phenomenal.
Thanks a bunch!
Excellent job buddy, muchas gracias.
Thank you so so much for all your efforts to help us become better and informative players! And the cutting loose in the beginning?! LOVE IT!!!
Thanks a bunch!
Fabulous advice. I've been telling my students this forever. And, as always, simply wonderful playing. Thanks for the video.
Thanks a bunch!
Love those rubs and EJ runs interval with tasty blues licks. That was a FUN! Intro
Thanks, Guthrie. Love these lessons and like your down-to-earth approach.
Thanks!
I really appreciate and enjoy your explanation on demystifying the guitar. You are a great teacher!
MAN !!!You just took improv noodling to an unknown dimensional level.Very casually I might add.I’m extremely intimidated,and will probably burrow even deeper into my reclusive hole of playing only to myself in strict privacy.You certainly have velvet fingers.Awesome display of fretboard knowledge and control and confidence.Seriously,thanks.
Really enjoying your play and lessons!
Looking forward to seeing the trio on the road.
The guitar sounds great.
The information is invaluable.
Thus the video is excellent. Thanks!
What a great video, GT!! Your tones KILL me. It doesn't matter what guitar, or what pedal, or even what amp, your tone is remarkable. Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Thanks a bunch!
Always pleasure to listen to you talk about guitar stuff. Hope to meet you at some point. Cheers!
This is where it’s at. I too, have played guitar for many years, but only new just enough to play along with the songs I like, and only the basics. I’m learning now how chords, up and down the neck, can inform my lead playing in a much more melodic way. Thanks for breaking this down, Guthrie. It’s so simple, but if you don’t know, you don’t know.
Wow, Man that opening solo was like a journey, really inspiring. Really tasty playing and tone. Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos. It was worth to travel from Spain to Nashville to see you play and had the opportunity to say hello and thank you in person! I highly recommend the experience of seeing this guy playing live with his trio, you cannot imagine the passion and the intensity on the stage! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks so much, man!
Your lessons have been changing the way a see the fretboard, they are pure gold thank you brother! Greetings from Chile, South America
Thanks so much!
The concept here is totally on point!
Awesome video as always Guthrie, I'm learning from you in the Artistworks course also and slowly things are starting to click in for me, I've been at it for 10 years and the last year or so trying to go further with the caged shapes and lead and it's always a pleasure to watch you play at the spiritual level as you mentioned, to just know everything so well to be able to just hear it in your head and out through your fingers onto the instrument it comes... I have this sometimes... Sometimes LOL... But it's getting more and more, and I'm enjoying the journey and watching you, a true master on this instrument, is just so inspirational and hearing the many ways to express ideas... Keep it up Guthrie, you're a blessing to all of us and you have a true gift!
Best teacher. I adopted this guy as my teacher and I actually see a difference. Breathed life into playing for me.
We will be visiting N-Ville soon. Looking forward to seeing you and the band.
Totally. Spot on. In 20+ years of playing, Guthrie is describing the big "unlock" moment in creating music across the fretboard
Love your stuff dude. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks !
Wow! That playing a the beginning with the singing lead tone was fire🔥 ! Amazing playing!
Excellent teaching!
Been learning forever and what you have said in this video is exactly how I have always felt about playing guitar. Lately it has started coming together. Great lesson, great advice.
Thanks man!
I played guitar for almost 25 years before I learned the caged system. And that’s when I finally started understanding the fretboard. It was the largest puzzle piece that was missing. This lesson is another one of those breadcrumbs leading me to a better understanding of my instrument. Thanks for teaching us how to make MUSIC, not just play guitar. Great lesson. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks a bunch, man!
Guthrie you are a breath of fresh air and an amazing player and teacher.
Thanks a bunch!
I think what happens is some folks want to play, and you can do that with shortcuts and tricks. But to play WELL, it takes doing the hard work, finding the inversions, learning what the fingerboard can do, and continuing to dig in and make it all a part of how you play. And sometimes you need somebody to take the gloves off and and say thie might not be an easy answer, but it is the answer. Thanks for all you do!
UPDATE: I've learned more in the past six months from this video than any other video on the internet. Granted, I'm a solid intermediate player, but the truth is, this information has opened up so many doors on the guitar for me that I will always be indebted to Guthrie. I don't play out, but just for my own enjoyment. But that may change as the confidence I've gained from GTs insights has been exceedingly satisfying on so many levels. Thank you so much, Mr. Trapp. You are a kind, kind soul and one amazing teacher. Many thanks!! 🙏🙏🎵
Thanks Guthrie I’ll try and I’ll put my time in .
Thanks a lot. Down to earth and full of knowledge. Appreciate the straight talk. ✊🏼✨
This is eye opening.. Really really good info! Now I know what to work on next 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing this with people who are passionate about the guitar.
Your tone is so sweet - very inspiring.
Thanks !
I just feel blessed. Guthrie seems to be the pastor of the Church of guitar. It's so good to know that if I pay attention chasing my tail days are over thank you
As a life long 'Gear Head', I really truly appreciate you taking a moment to quick overview of the 'GOODS'!
Peace.
This was mind blowing! I have always been working on playing this way but you really brought it together. Back to the woodshed!
Thanks!
I played Electric primarily for most of my life and then made a switch to primarily acoustic 8 years ago. You are right! Acoustic makes you play a lot harder and works your hands a lot more so it's a challenge to go back and forth with the electric. Thanks for awesome tips.
Fantastic as always. I’m still working at getting this system down but it’s so helpful! Ain’t there yet but I can see the light. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks man!
Always good stuff. GREAT notes GREAT tone!!!
Thanks !
Hi Guthrie, love your videos, practical music wisdom, and clear mastery of the guitar. I struggle a lot with playing through changes but maybe chord shapes are the key there as well. Thanks a million. :-)
You make me want to practice more! We love ya here in NY
Thanks I really needed this “revival” keep on rockin’ Guthrie ( and everybody else) !
Thanks, man!
Gorgeous melodies man❤
Great lesson. I’ve been trying to find a way to articulate to my students this concept. You hit the nail on the head.
Thanks !
You work on the chords, the arpeggios, the pentatonics, the double stops, the scales as separate things, which I guess you kind of need to do at first to learn them but to combine them as layers which you can see simultaneously, that’s hard, but yet a simple concept. You’ve definitely opened my eyes to that. I’m working on it! 😀
