    Dude - you make a difference - seriously. Years of disconnected licks and noodling is coming together because of you’re persistent message. Can’t thank you enough.

    Diggin' those harmonic minor licks. Been following this channel for a few years now. You're playing has been mind-blowing from day one, but one thing I think we can all take from you is that you're constantly growing. I'm a hack, but music is still an important part of my life. No matter the level, the main thing is to just keep growing and getting deeper into music and life. As someone who is about to qualify for social security, life gets better with the years, if you let it. Here's wishing everyone that. It's good for your health, and it's downright fun. Thank you, Guthrie, for always serching.

    You do a great job of explaining CAGED. It seems that some don’t realize that they still need to know some basic theory to go with it. You talked about flattering the 3rd to make a minor but if one doesn’t know where the 3rd is they are lost. Thanks so much for these videos.

    Hey Guthrie! I'm just watchin' this video again, and I wanted to comment about your story about drivin' out on the "back roads."
    I've done that, like in the 1980s, we started out on the Blue Ridge Parkway in TN (I think), then started turning down back roads. We just kept turning into smaller roads, ended up in KY!
    Yeah, it was nice, and great scenery!
    That's a great thing to do.
    Thanks for all you do, GT! 👍👍👍

    Thanks for your explanations, really appreciate it. The building blocks are starting to make sense to me now. I can tell my brain is making those subconscious muscle memory connections and my ears are tuning in and hearing "melody" that I've never heard myself play before. I know there's plenty more work to be done but I can tell that getting there is going to be fun.....I agree with you...for me, what you're teaching really does work.

    Anyway, these lessons were done quite awhile ago. And you just have a natural way about you. I mean teaching. Even though you say you are self taught. Its Fn Amazing really. I go over both lessons over and over. I advise everyone to do same.
    Its not easy stuff, which is what I want. Its perfect for me. I will keep repeating the lessons. 64 yo with cancer for 23.
    It keeps me goin Brah.

    "A vast world of uncharted territory. Everytime you pick this thing up, its like, what am I gonna do now"? That was the best part of this video for me. I realized the importance of the CAGED system before I found this channel, but I watch all his videos even if its information I think I already know. That line at the end made this one more than worth it. Its good to know that even Guthrie Trapp feels that way when he picks up a guitar. I have a pretty good ear, and I understand the fretboard pretty well. After watching this, I think I just need to learn to use both at the same time. Its easy to get lost when you are playing, either in what you are hearing, or trying to play the notes you think should work on paper. I think finding a way to balance that will make my playing more musical. Thank you for these videos, they are helping more people than you know.

    gt.. now that we are friends😂I want to tell you what an eye opening, actually should say ear opening experience it has been watching your videos. My dad and uncles played guitar so I was around it but never understood it, i was more interested in ball. A statement you made today about the fret board and the enormous amount of music it contains hit home. watching you play your music all over the neck with seamless effort is impressive and sort of overwhelming. How can I ever get even close to that! I am 74 and don't have to get that good but a light bulb came on yesterday. Working the c shaped e area and incorporating the chord tones, major scale and pentatonic I actually made a little music. Like a kid on Christmas morn. Sorry this is so long but thanks for what you do for us wannabe's.

    Hitting on all cylinders, GT!! That outro was to perfection. Thanks for the Gypsy stuff, too!! The comment section might best be called, *The Review Board.* 😂😂 It seems a lot of guys need to review this stuff quite a bit. Folks, if you really want to grasp this stuff, play for a solid 30 minutes every day. Plow through the frustration. The other side is magical. Don't worry if every note sounds nothing like GT. He doesn't sound like Uncle Larry, and he doesn't sound like Mr. Ruch. It's nice to grab some of these things as they do but it's nothing like BEING YOURSELF. We need you to be YOU. We already have GT, and Buk. 'Nuff said.

  • @scottharringtonSR
    @scottharringtonSR 2 місяці тому

    You put good info out for consumption. Sometimes if you have 10 people you are trying to explain a concept to they all may understand it slightly differently and it takes trying to say the same thing in various ways to get them on the right track. Keep up the good work.
    I took up guitar over a decade ago after having to retire early on disability, as kind of a hobby to occupy my time. This journey has been a constant cycle of some confusion or frustration followed by "lightbulb moments" and excitement. I totally get the way individual concepts link up and become one thing and it's beautiful when that happens.
    Don't sell yourself short on things like modes..... you understand and use them all the time (probably under a different name or none at all other then "music"). If you know the basic concept of 7 notes in a key / 7 chords for those notes you know and use modes, without the damn "rabbit hole" confusion people get caught up in.

    Something that helped me a lot was learning the C major scale on the B string. Starting at the first fret, using just the D major and D minor shapes. Three major chords. Three minor chords and that pesky diminished chord at the 12th fret. You can easily see the Root, 3rd and 5th and how the minor chord is just one note that moves back one fret.

    I really dig the no BS approach/style on this channel. I'm personally not here for an in depth lesson in music theory or anything like that. I just wanna be able to pick out some sweet notes and make 'em sing a little. As for the messages... maybe call it The Soundboard? Noise Gate might be appropriate for some comments but not as friendly..haha. Anyway, keep up the good work as it's much appreciated.

    Guthrie I’m a long time drummer and have taken up guitar in the past couple years. You hit the nail on the head when you said it’s not complicated but it’s hard. But I get it. Learn the chord shapes and triads. Learn the pentatonics, major, minor, and dominant scales around the chords. Combine to make music (the hard part!). Btw I like Trapp Talk for the comment section. I’ll keep thinking on it.

    There’s no minor CAGED. C maj is CEG. A minor, relative minor, is ACE. Find the A arpeggios, know which is the 3rd, and drop it a half step. Can’t grow without knowing those 3 chord notes and where they are in the arpeggios. Guthrie, you’ve been teaching gold!
