I've been watching Guthrie's youtube channel a year or so, and man, he's playing so good here.
Checked him out in NY City a few months back and going again in July..Btw I love when he tells stories and goes off topic,..that's the best part
Guthrie gives some of the most useful guitar lessons on his channel. Most of the guitar lessons you find out there are from "shredders" and are simply about technique, picking, etc. Picking speed does no one any good if they don't understand music and can play over changes to create melody, etc. Very few people teaching the real dope underneath it all. And of course, he can play just about anything because of that understanding.
Alan Cosens absolutely right i love his playing and teaching he has helped me a lot in just the past few months because of how he explains the guitar
I just love this! I am a drummer who wishes he was playing with guitar players like Guthrie, that you for this fantastic music. At least I can play along with you at home. Thank you !!!!! so much.
Would love it if Guthrie went the Keith Jarrett road and just did long solo gigs of improvisation - I could listen to hours of just that
So skilled, talented and down to earth. His phrasing is second to none and he is a great teacher.
Man, I feel sorry to say is the first time I hear this guy... what a wonderful player And Person!!
Thanks for share this.
wow, what an incredible guitarist
Amazing guitar player and always a down to earth nice guy. Respect...
I love to watch, and hear Guthrie play. My Favorite Guitar player. How musical can you get.
Always a pleasure to see Guthrie at work It only gets better love the different Stiles together it's Interesting
Sissy strut is awesome!!! So so many tasty lines ... this is a master class!!
Outside playing very cool
Love the melo tone on the chords
“Man, did I get off track again!” …. Yes, you did, Awesome. Wish I could have paid for admission. 4yrs on, he’s still grounded and teaching gold!
Wow. This was amazing. Thank you for posting this! 🙌🏻
...Trapps my guy at the moment ....great touch ....never boring ....unlike some of the other top shelf players...
My new fav player. Wow!
Thanks for posting this video...always good to see how the pro's do it!
Guthrie is quickly becoming one of my favorite "modern day" pickers. So many things he talked about, I'm already doing (not all as nice as him), but it's cool to know that I'm doing it right. I've even always held my pick the way he does, using the round side, against my Dad's instruction.
Lots of useful tips in this video.
Top notch player...👍
great stuff
Oh man. I love those channels necks
"I'm terrible by myself". hahaha. Have you ever watch your own channel? Every video the first 2-3 minutes I'm blown away.
Guthrie's left hand, of course, is spectacular--few can match his speed, precision, and creativity--but it's the right hand, the effortless ease of his picking, the way he elicits absolutely clean notes, beautifully shaped to fit the feeling he is creating with chords and arpeggios--there's the magic.
its the right hand that makes a players tone and style unique. What's really cool is how GT will welcome you into his home when you book a private lesson. There is no pretentiousness or ego. It's just like going over to your buddies house to jam. Except your buddy is a "NashvilleCat" that has all kinds of cool gear.
@@allenronaldson4381Can’t wait. For my berfday I’m treating myself to a full day immersive experience. Bringing a crap load of friends, too, for the evening hang. Of course, that’s if he thinks I and my friends are cool enough to hang with.
Tony Rice, David Gilmour? I knew I had a musical brother out there! They both shape me to this day, and so do you sir! thanks!
Guthrie is da man. Okay, one of the men.
Those jazz chord runs are what really knocks me out.
Yep. Like his little shout out to Wes Monty @ 28min

I've tried very hard to like jazz. I really have. I certainly respect it when I hear a jazz player but I can't develope a love for it. It comes across as aimless with no distinguished phrasing and no swagger. That is just what I hear.
I mean no disrespect to anyone's musical tastes. I also love Guthrie Trapp.
@@stricknine8623 same here man . I just have an appreciation for it but it’s just not my style. Back in highschool I was part of the jazz band only because there was no other band in the entire school. Those were the hardest days of my life because I had no jazz background and had to learn all these chords and songs .
Best line i practice scales in my room for 45 years...I am a plumber!!
That is one gorgeous Tele.
Props to Wes Montgomery too.
Feel like I'll never be able to fingerpick like him.damn
I first heard of Guthrie on a program here on UA-cam called TRUETONE LOUNGE. Great interview. Check it out. I agree with everyone...so melodic. Then check out his trio music.
Holy crap this guy is insane....
Such a tasteful player. He can burn but that's not what he majors in - he doesn't try to do Brent Mason or Johnny Hiland, there are already those guys there. He does his own thing and it's very musical.
Didn't know who he was before watching this. I'm a fan now. Zero pointless shredding, not trying to impress anyone, just trying to be a good teacher.
If you go a minor 3rd lower from A you get F # which is the major 7th of G major 7
F# would be phrygian, G would be lydian and A would be mixolydian.just like he said
Jazz, Blues, Country he can play it all!
I’m new to the Guthrie Trapp camp. Cool dude. Awesome talent . Anyone know what brand Tele that is ? Def not a Fender .
Guthrie says i dont really play jazz or know any modes, proceeds to play jazz using several modes lol
💛
Thanks for the upload.
Is there version of this without terrible clipping? I would really want to keep watching from 36:00 but it is impossible
Vince Gill ing it ! Lol . Play Oklahoma county line .
Anyone know what guitar he’s playing or who may have built it??
I'm Trapped
I thought a minor 3rd is an interval of 3 frets not 4..
no one answered what kind of guitar is that?
Thanks for the video. There's a little clipping though. But great video.
Great video!!! Incredible chops! I think there at the end was Dorian Mode rather than Mixolydian Mode
Wat brand of tele?
I learn nothing everytime I watch him but damn he's good at playing lol
shout out to Rico! wuz up?
Why is that other guthrie got famous and not this Guthrie ..why??..god damn by the way how many guitar goats are there by name Guthrie ..
Pork pie hat, 2 knee braces,clothes straight out the dryer and pink socks - LOL you gotta love bass players HAHA 1:22:13
Lawd,that boy can play guitar to splinters.
O don't understand why Fender don't give Guthrie a life contract and a signature tele
what does he mean when he says flat 7, or major 3rd?
He's referring to the notes in the scale. Flat 7 means the 7th note of the scale you are playing in moved back one fret so it is 'flat' in relation to the usual 7th note of the scale.The major 3rd is the 3rd note of the major scale. e.g. the 3rd note of the major scale of C would be E. If you were playing in a minor key e.g C minor then your 3rd note of the scale is different i.e. E flat.
@@davegooner2 Thanks for the clarification, it can be super frustrating trying to learn this with no direction. Your the best!
Terrible in campfires 🤣 same thing 😅
I listen to the sound of Tele a bit distortion..it's intentionally?
holy scarduchee...
So tasty!
someone get the man a sock or a pop filter for god's sake
Someone out there can tell me what his guitar is? What brand, manufacturer...?

It cracks me up when guys who play really well know no theory. It's like a poet who can't tell you how many feet they have or their iambs from their spondees. Doesn't hurt the final product, though they couldn't explain in detail what they are doing. If you either need to defend your choices to some triggered old-schooler or want to deconstruct the form and reconstruct it with as many tools at your disposal, then you need some vocabulary. And that kind of thing is interesting, but I really doubt postmodern country would top the charts.
And I mean, it's not as if he needs theory vocab in his line of work. The producers aren't asking him to pass a theory test. And the music lane he's in, it seems like they kinda self-reinforce the knowledge by holding onto tradition and changing things up incrementally. Its kinda like the stereotype about the culture--i.e., marrying their cousins, but musically--they don't stray too far from what they know. And most importantly it sounds great and is of super high quality.
To really put this to rest, he's learned most theory just from experience. The secret to theory in any discipline is that it comes after real life, not before. Now, once real life things in music or sociology are studied, the principles can be used to accurately predict events or creatively invent solutions to problems, but theory comes from studying and merely identifying stuff that is already happening. Basically, Music Already Exists and this guy knows it well; theory just helps you talk about it to death.
He knows a lot of theory. I do- and he has taught me a lot of things I did not know. I studied under Berklee instructors. He knows theory. Not everything, no need.
@@forester057 me neither. I don't know what was going thru my head at the time. Or, well it was the pandemic, but still. I went overboard lol. I totally dig Guthrie now and forgot I ever made this comment
Food poisoning! Did you cook something for the first time?
Great player, but kind of all over the place as a teacher.
Aw Jeez vast amounts of musical knowledge/experience from which he is teaching, is hard to get across in a 1.5 hr clinic. Dudes prolly got something he could teach guitar players from most skill levels. Not to mention he prolly didn't get into music to teach it.
I think his Artistworks lessons are great. I think he struggles to explain how he does things sometimes bc he is unconventional. He doesn't know a lot of theory, he learned by listening to great players and plays in shapes. He really helped me a lot with the country stuff and how to visualize the Caged shapes all over the fretboard. I think his teaching works for some but not for everyone.
he is a shitty teacher. ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS BUT AWFUL AS A TEACHER. STILL LOVE HIM.
1:17:27 Fine player yet, theoretically inept.
No disrespect to you my friend, but thank goodness he is. I was always not fitting in with the jazz nerds who know the theory, but can’t play a damn thing I want to hear. Keep the theory, I’ll take the tritone substitutions he doesn’t know he’s doing. 😊
Still can’t finger out how people use there nails.
