    Can we just take a minute to recognise that this is one of the leading musicians of our time sharing FOR FREE!!! his time and expertise? I’m not even a guitarist, I’m a reformed drummer, and these videos, more than most others, make me want play even the tiniest bit like Guthrie. Thank you GT and greetings from an unseasonably mild Scotland. It’s only minus 5 or 6 degrees Celsius.

      I've watched hundreds of tutorial videos on RUclips, jazz and blues, and I just learned more from this one than all put together. Guthrie is a great teacher by just being himself.

    These intros have changed my perception of what I thought was possible on guitar. It’s opened my eyes to ten more levels on top of what I previously thought existed.

    When CDs started coming out, my friend Dave Hill had one of the largest collections of Blues records in the world.
    His Robert Johnson records (there were only a handful anywhere) were the cleanest. And they're what you've heard on CD.
    Years before CDs, he would make me mix tapes of some of the rarest Blues records ever. If I listed all the famous musicians from around the World that visited his house in Minneapolis to just hear those old records, you'd be impressed. I was.

    Being a Huge Delta blues lover , there are some serious nuggets of info here. Amazing how good GT is at so many different styles. I will watch this 50 times to pick up little licks etc. Amazing teacher.
    Praying for new lessons on Truefire. I heard something. IDK. GTs right hand does so much.
    His two fingers/ Middle and next closest to pinky. He does so much with those 2 fingers.
    Very hard to do. My fave player. Merry Xmas people. Be safe.

    Guthrie, just from watching you, I learned some new voicings for 7th chords and diminished chords.
    Thanks, dude!
    (I did already know how the diminished ones move every 4 frets.)
    Great stuff, easy lesson!
    👍👍👍
    PS: 12:45-13:00
    And you say you don't know no theory shee-it.
    Ha! You know enough!
    Yes, you SHOULD be practicing that stuff!
    You play it as well as I do now, but you'd normally be MUCH better!

    Awesome Guthrie! Thanks mate. Oh, I heard about your John McEnroe story. Not sure if it was here on your channel or elsewhere but it's FUNNY AS HELL. You've got a real fan in John...haha. BTW...YES, 3 note chords, ie Triads, are my favorite. I play them almost exclusively and yes sir again, the travis/chet alternate picking stuff sounds great and I try to practice it for a little every day. It's still hard as hell but when you hit it right sounds fabulous.
