    Ha! GT: "Let's stay away from that!" Perfect. GT, you've just got to be yourself, as you've done since your very first episodes. You've evolved since then. There's plenty of gems in each episode and plenty that your years of playing will inform. Things rise to the top. You're GT, not Uncle Larry and not Jack Ruch. You all do things differently and we are all lucky as hell to be here. That goes for the personal stuff you share. It's good to "get to know you" if that's possible via the interweb. But you're a genuine guy and that comes across too. Don't change a thing. -GB

    Hi Guthrie I was in Nashville for my 60th and was coming to the underdog on Monday but my flight home was cancelled and had to fly to the UK a day early really gutted as it was on my to list to see you play.

    Guthrie Sir, I finally learned how to get a fraction of that sound you get out of the major scale. It’s so melodic and doesn’t sound like you’re plying scale exercises. You slowly dance around the chord tones with minimal notes and slowly build up. Man I’m so excited about this. Thank you for this video!

  • @firecaptainTX
    @firecaptainTX Год назад +3

    There's an army of teachers going over CAGED or showing licks. Emphasizing tying melodies to chords is gonna pay off for anybody that throws some time on it. My playing has improved a lot in just a couple months. Knowing the fretboard a bit is way easier than straight up memorizing licks. Thanks Guthrie!

    • @jimdep6542
      @jimdep6542 Год назад +2

      Same here, I thought the intonation on my guitar was off and then realized I was using too much finger pressure. Sounds like a cool pedal. I'll have to look into that. That " Freqout" pedal by Digitech looks neat for sustaining notes, but the price is pretty steep for me.

    Man I just need to learn more chords,now that I branched off to playing lead more,the more I need some chords to throw in there, I was in a classic rock band for a few years,playing rhythm you don’t need much to fill that bill,never needed triads or double stops,maybe a few weird chords for a few songs in our sets, but them chords are everything, even the two note ones up and down the neck,all this is starting to sink in the more I watch you,and Tom,thanks for sharing.

    Rhythm, harmony, melody, groove, and REVERB, at least for some. Imagine how those worshipful echos once revererated inside those now empty giant cathedrals throughout Europe. In America, people nowadays with guitars play their reverb effects in churches with big congregations to emulate the big cathedral effects. But are they just going through the motions, or are they really connected with God. I'd say it's time to accept Jesus as personal lord and Savior to find out for yourself. Great guitar lesson.
