    No need to ever apologize. You are kind enough to put up these videos for free so there is nothing to be sorry for if you are too busy to put some out. 👍🏻

    Thanks for all you're doing Guthrie! Don't be shy about the sales pitch. You have something great to offer and your viewers need to know about it.

      Agreed been learning so much from Guthrie

  • @guthrietrappmusic
    @guthrietrappmusic  4 роки тому +16

    So a little disclaimer here- I misnamed a few notes in the first A7 blues chord. Its.. C# (1st finger 4th fret A string), G (Ring finger 5th fret D string), B (Middle finger 4th fret G string), E (Little finger 5th fret B string). Sorry for the confusion if any! Thanks friends!!

    • @Richard_Goodman
      @Richard_Goodman 4 роки тому +1

      Guthrie Trapp great video lesson. This is an A9 (B is the ninth). Keep the videos coming!

    • @Qstick333
      @Qstick333 4 роки тому +1

      Richard Goodman dumb question..,but without an A in the chord, what makes it an A9? I thought the chords had to have a root in them

    • @guthrietrappmusic
      @guthrietrappmusic  4 роки тому +3

      It’s implied. If the bass player is playing an A it works as an A 9. It can also be a half diminished chord with a different bass note.

    • @andrewrowlands157
      @andrewrowlands157 3 роки тому +1

      So glad you clarified the notes and the implied character of the first ‘A’ chord, i have been foxed for days trying to work out why it was an ‘A’. Had to rely on the fact that whatever it was it sounds good!

  • @onethousandtwonortheast8848
    @onethousandtwonortheast8848 5 місяців тому

    Maybe the most valuable of all Guthrie’s free lesson videos because he has us focus on saying something musical with only four notes. What a great exercise! Transcription of this lesson coming soon.

  • @jamesadams1064
    @jamesadams1064 2 роки тому

    This one finally opened my eyes to UA-cam lessons. You talk about the ears and not the notes. Can’t teach soul. But you do have soul. Thanks brother.

  • @No1Particular
    @No1Particular 4 роки тому +3

    I have to confess Guthrie, you're the only UA-cam channel that when I start watching I know it's pretty darn certain that it's safe to just go ahead and click that like button. There's bound to be actual useful and relevant guitar fundamentals being demonstrated. For that we thank you!!! The community is far better for it!

    Phrasing has always been difficult for me to lock down. I'm not even sure if I'm spelling it right. But the way you described working on four notes, the way your uncle showed you, and how to bend to notes that matter, those are guitar instruction gems. Lights came on like Yankee Stadium as to how I need to practice! This is how to get the sounds in my head under my fingertips. It'll have to be after the first of the month but I'll find your paypal and send twenty bones too. Thanks Guthrie, your videos are packed with gems just like those.

    Dude, I gotta tell you...I love everything about these videos. You're in your living room, your tone is always on point, and even when you're showing something that I've done a billion times before and think I already know inside and out there's always a new idea in there that I have never thought about before. I look forward to these!

    @danieldoke7725 4 роки тому +1

    Guthrie, keep puttin ($$) it out there. No worries man! you are a professional and pro's need to be compensated for your life's work! I dig your no-frills production. I contect to your style and thinking. You put a lesson out there and when I watch them over&over (rewind&playback) you give me tons of material underneath the lesson you are teaching. I have purchased your recordings, artistworks lesson and plan to be in Nashville in Oct19 and will hit you up next month for a live lesson. I have made so much progress but I don't have a friend/uncle or others to play with (do to my lifestyle) and give encouragement/direction so learning on-line is my path the knowledge. Thoughts and prayers to you, brother....Keep on pushing it!
