Thanks again! Honestly the solo at the end had my brain spinning !
For those of you following along my wife had her double mastectomy yesterday! Everything went fantastic and the chemo was able to kill the cancer that spread to a lymph node! Huge relief for sure! She’s resting now and a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders! She’s high as a kite on meds but still makes fun of my playing so her mind is still solid! 😂 Thanks again for the kind words and support! Let grab a guitar and celebrate!
The beauty of a master guitar player with a Tele into a clean amp with a little reverb it's just so satisfying
The cool thing about playing guitar or any instrument is that you learn something new everyday. Having someone like Guthrie sharing his wealth of knowledge is priceless. There’s always a take away from these videos and I don’t care what level you are at. Great work Guthrie keep those vids coming. The Brett Papa videos of you and Tom at the Underdog are freaking Awesome.
Well said
I agree, Tom Bukovacs playing is something and these two together is off the charts.
Great video. I will never forget the night that Dave Leather said that if we didn’t fill the tip jar, the Lord was going to take you home. I’m happy to say that I contributed to keeping you here! 😄
A classic GT post. Great playing, insights, and of course lots of verbal side streets, deadpan looks, and self deprecating humor. Thanks for changing my whole focus after 50 years of playing...
Wherever can I practice to switch chords?So effortless and the facial expressions I must know. , love all practices you must have done . You are or seem. Smart so I take you seriously and uhh uhh .you. OWN A. BAR. GREAT , NOW YOU HAVE UPED MY SCALE OF YOU ON IT
I see lessons like this, and I say a little prayer GT never gets bored with YT. **No** it is not too advanced, I just slow it down to glacier-speed.
That melody you were playing around 17mins was almost "Rhythm-a-ning" by Thelonious Monk. Great tune!
thanks for pulling our coat to Katie Pruitt man
Thank you! Another great video, lesson, and pep talk. I think that you said something about a Guitar Workshop that you're doing in Upstate New York. Any more info? Thanks again
Sure feels like a bonus day when there are back-to-back uploads 👍
The real question is: what is wrong with 80’s Metal? I was born in 1972 and am personally invested in this topic. Please explain.😅
Pointing out that melody line at around 6 minutes in. Is gold. 🎉
Man, that segment from 21:03 to 22:34 is like a full compendium on soloing! The first minute (21:03 to 22:03) is your straight textbook diatonic stuff and then you branch into blues/jazz/fusion stuff. Absolutely brilliant, free flowing, and so phenomenally articulate.
If someone learns how to play that minute and a half verbatim, they'll get so much guitar under their fingertips!
Dude you’re awesome Guthrie
Your the Best kept Secret on UA-cam I say that with respect because the content, skills & teaching ability you possess your subscribers should 80 Million not thousand 😊 Keep going GT you are a legend.
I have been watching your lessons and with your explanation it seems easy. But when I apply it, I realize how much time and dedication it takes to get this fluency. I'm applying it to some chord progressions position by position. I'm improving and one day I'll get there! thanks for all the content!
Brilliant lesson. That neck p/u sounds like nothing else
Don’t sweat it Guthrie , when I’m playing guitar I don’t know what day it is either ….😊
Working out melodies and seeing that melody weave through all the CAGED shapes has been the biggest eye opener for me.
Beautiful Progression, man… love your content
Bro. Guitar Life is tough. Guys like you and Uncle Larry make it seem challenging yet do-able. I wish I had the magik you folks have. If you could bottle THAT up and sell it, I’d buy a lifetime sub.
The Caribbean bug has definitely bitten you. Steel pan riffs with bends and double/triple stops.
I think you could segue into the theme from "Green Acres" with this. Hilarity would ensue.
Whoa!!! Dig that opening noodle
I absolutely love this video. So many tips and and ideas from you wealth of knowledge. This is the stuff man.
Guthrie, you helped me connect soo many dots on the guitar its truly amazing. Thanks
So very much appreciate you Guthrie!
I can’t walk and talk at the same time anymore, much less play like that!!!
But, I can try!!!
Tribal knowledge is an awesome concept. Like the guy that introduced the term to you I am a retired military pilot and I get it! Most folks love sharing aspects of their “tribe” to others. It’s not some closely guarded secret, it is just some unique aspects of a particular cultural or professional that’s part of the glue that holds it together. I want to continue learning more of your tribal knowledge and hope to take some lessons and an immersion experience in the future. You play the guitar - I’ll fly the aircraft…..
Man, this video and the last one are 😍 in technical material and wisdom. What an inspiration you are Guthrie.
You had me all the way till "holy shit, WTF was that" Loved it. Thanks
Guitar playing is awesome but GT your the coolest cat in Nashville bro..😎 ❤
You're awesome GT!
That intro noodle could have been an 80s ballad. Was beautiful. Great video as again!
Thank you Guthrie!! Intro was beautiful!
Real talk, that's why I love you man. Stay true to the music that you love and the rest will follow.
Please keep it coming. Get a private lesson if you can. Even if you are getting what G is laying down, meeting him in person and being able to ask questions and get a vibe for things like how he views music will boost your playing. I've been playing for over 50 years and when I got back from my lesson last July my band mates complimented me on my playing improvement. ( he helped me with my tendency to over play, or play in every section, it's ok to let things breath like a singer or horn player.) and It will make a lot of things you already know fall into place. Know the foundation/chord of the song confidently , then apply the Arpeggios/scales and riffs musically. targeting the sweet notes. The things you already know will sound more polished when applied with the caged outlook. Learn to play the song in every area of the neck. Know the chord, know which chords are coming up in the song, apply "riffs" and arpeggios that compliment the song and further the tones the song needs. don't step on the singer or whomever is soloing. And hit the tip jar so Mr. Trapp keeps putting this stuff out.
I checked out Katie Pruitt ... she is indeed cool! Thanks for the tip GT.
Thanks for another great lesson. I've noticed that cords you used share many of the same notes, such as A and F#m and A and E. These sound really good in the same progression and make it easier to hit target notes as the cords change. It also allows the creative use of double-stops. I've been working on this type of stuff with my own instructor so your lesson is nice reinforcement. Love your lessons Guthrie. Keep doing what you're doing and ignore the a-holes 😃
The new album arrived today. It is fabulous! Well done Guthrie and Tom. I love that it isn't overproduced. There is life in those tracks.
Another great lesson, Guthrie. I took artist works lessons from you a few years ago and I find I am still absorbing material from those lessons. These episodes are like reviews for me! Thanks, Ian.
I’d love to do that.
But I reckon I’d have to do enough investment off my own bat to be a legit customer not just a tourist
I subscribe to GTin the begining and pick guitar after 20 years not playin ..now again i play every day and learning playing just having fun..❤
Beautiful. Truly. Felt the soul deeply. I am a new sub, and will be digging deep on your channel through all this GOLDEN guitar goodness! Thanx, Guthrie.
That intro is so sweet sounding, it hooked me in an instant.
Great stuff, Guthrie! Loved the last two videos especially. 🎸👌
I’ll Always Watch! Thanks Guthrie! Play On, brother!
Love how you keep it real! This is why I enjoy your videos. (Not to mention the playing is unbelievable!)👍🏻
That’s a sick lesson
I’ll have to sit down 🪑 with that. As per usual top shelf.
Reminds me of the extra notes in chords of ummm say Electric Ladyland , the chords and the melody in the solo
You’re wonderfully self-deprecating and a great teacher. Thanks for all you do! I’ve really learned a lot from your stuff over the years.
Intro was killer. Definitely got a song in there. Beautiful melody. Also , I absolutely love that african style. Its so satisfying.
I almost think of Nashville as the music version of the California gold rush. Some got in early when it was a goldmine, got rich, and everyone saw their success and wanted to copy that. and now a lot of people are coming in later hoping to find the gold - only to have scarce mines. Right now Nashville is the place everyone wants to go to get their guitar career going, so it draws a lot of views on UA-cam, instagram, etc. The irony is that there’s so many talented guitar players in Nashville that the new people going there are just like a small pebble in a big lake.
I'd rather do cartage in Nashville than stay stuck where I am. Whether you 'make it' or not isn't the point. It's about the scene and the musicians you get to meet and play with, or just get to know.
Amazing video my friend! You speak the truth about music! Your playing is very soulful! Play on 😉The new album is AMAZING too!!
Great comments about "tribal knowledge" .. very important.
Thankfully we have slo mo. Great stuff. Got the CD. Very chill music. Thanks.
Awesome, 2 GT videos this week!
Appreciate you GT !!
Love it when ya go off the rails.
Beautiful intro GT.
Let’s get those thumbs up folks.
Excellent advice GT on that Tribal Knowledge. Very valuable life lessons.
Thank you so much for the much for the videos you’re posting. Not just for the musical knowledge but for the great thoughts about life. Your parents raised a great human being. Peace and love from Milwaukee. Ps. I so enjoy the “In Stereo “ cd. Would really love an all acoustic one.
That Taj thing reminds me of Lightnin turnarounds too
Ammmazin 😂😂😂
Great lesson w/the base lines! Super helpful! Thanks Guthrie!
Well said Guthrie. Interestingly, (at least to me) one of the ads during your video was a kid, still wet behind the ears, trying to sell me on a 'Ten Minute' course to make me play like Clapton, Paige, or Hendrix. Ya right. I've got underwear older than him..
It is a honor to find you
Great stuff !!! Love the tribal knowledge concept and wonderful playing !! Thanks for the lessons and sharing your knowledge!
My favorite youtube channel, Thank you Guthrie!!!
Hey GT, could you talk a little about your picking hand on one of these episodes? I notice you play with an "Irish" feel if that makes sense. You hear it a lot in bluegrass, which I'm sure is your source, but it's sort of like your scales are flavored in triplets - even when in straight four feel. And the notes you land on and start on are always pleasing to the ears. I know that's from years of playing, but maybe you can distill the function for us mere mortals?! 😅 Hope that makes sense. Your tone is so remarkable that it's easy to see why Billy Gibbons had you bring your tele to that snare drum event! 😍 That's all anyone really needed in the world... Even ol' Billy!! 💖
I’d love some discussion on that also!
Sounds great Guthrie!
Love the intro jam!
Very inspiring Guthrie. Thanks for these videos!
That shit dope 👌
Mahalo Brother Guthrie!
EXCELLENT, ALWAYS VERY SWEET,,,
Tribal knowledge is a term used a lot up here in the north east.
this is great shit please dont stop
Sounds so good
Amazing 👍
As always, thanks so much. Would love a little session on 'The Preacher '. A wonderful jazz standard. DIckie Betts loved that tune. Has little bit of everything in it.
Just incredible.thankyou
I’ve been working on all these concepts this last year or so and I’m starting to get around a lot better during rhythm parts, but still falling back to old habits (playing in same position) when I improvise solos. Especially extended leads. I’m not giving up though!! 🤘
Speaking of, do you ever sing? In the car? Shower?
Simultaneously singing and playing your instrument at a high level is a sign of a true grandmaster. Wizards like Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix were given this gift. Any others some to mind? Musicians with this skill are my favorite to listen to.
Glenn Tilbrook is outstanding in this regard
@@davidegral7152 thanks
Just like you said in the In Stereo liner notes "It's about great people making real music for the right reasons.".
We've seen you live those words not just preach them and it's why you're so loved in the guitar community.
Guthrie can you talk a little about Pick Peace (revisited) and how it was chosen as a track on the new album? It's a little quicker now and it's got some Bukovac on it but both versions sound awesome. Just curious about the story there.
Thanks GT, really enjoy these videos!
Thanks for the schooling😅
"Due to my limited command of the English language, thanks to the south alabama public school system" had me dead dude. ur funny man
Hi Guthrie, I'm trying to follow you on the melody but I can't. I understand the tribal knowledge. Like you don't walk into someone else's town and start acting stupid. Taj Mahal, I remember him from Woodstock when I was a kid, amazing man. Like your channel man.
Lmmfao “Alabama edumacation” I have the same problem, I can’t count to 20 without my shoes off
So, I went and watched a couple of the videos taklked about in this. Honestly, they werent slimey or anything. They werent even steppin on the toes of the "cool kids" in Nashville. I guess I dont get the rant, gatekeeping maybe? Honestly never heard Tim Pierce dispatage other dudes tryna do UA-cam or music. Dont cream me on my spelling errors
I belong to tribe of the lion of Judah, Jesus a king of Kings.
Awesome as usual. You were a bit hesitant to show us song exactly like you play it. Please do more of that . We can handle it.
Im a broken record, but your lessons are probably best on youtube.
We do appreciate. I have tipped you in past. and will again,
Ty
Its a new day. Listening to Rhumba Huevos AL Gusto. Song is Amazing. I assume GT wrote this.
Its a masterpeice. Trying to learn parts. Cant get through the double stops in beginning. Yikes.
Your songwriting is off the charts. Where is your influence on Rhumbas? haha. Killa.
Is that 2615 in A? I have a limited command of language do to falling off the side of a truck traveling over 50 mph back in 1974 when I was 14 yrs old. Hated it when that happened. Better me than you.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🧲🤺🕳️💃💃💃💃 2615 The first progression.
