I've watched this 3 times now and I get more and more out of it each time. As Guthrie says near the end, "It's impossible not to get better!" Thanks for having him drop by, Brett!
Sure thing Bill!
Every musical key consists of seven notes.
The key of E major consists of these seven notes: E F# G# A B C# D#
The chords in the key of E major are as follows:
E major chord consists of the notes, E - G# - B
F# minor chord consists of the notes, F# - A - C#
G# minor chord contains the notes, G# - B - D#
A major chord contains the notes, A - C# - E
B major chord contains the notes, B - D# - F#
C# minor chord consists of the notes, C# - E - G#
D# diminished chord consists of the notes, D# - F# - A
What do you notice? Every single Chord in the Key of E major is made of some combination of three notes from the key.
What the lesson is trying to teach you is when the rhythm guitarist is playing one of those chords, the player soloing should play the notes of that chord.
So if the rhythm guitar player is playing the E major chord, the soloist should focus on the notes E, G# and B.
When the rhythm player then changes chords to the A major chord, the soloist should focus on the notes A, C#, E.
Let's take it one step further - The solo player can add spice by adding other notes from the key but they should still focus on the chord notes.
So if the rhythm guitarist is playing the E major chord, the soloist should continue to focus on the notes that make up the E major chord (E, G#, B) but the soloist can also add in the other notes from the key ( F# A C# D# ). The trick is to focus on the notes that make up the E major chord, and throw in other notes from the key sporadically.
If the rhythm guitarist then started playing the A major chord, focus on the notes that make it up (A - C# - E) but keep in mind you can add the other notes from the key as well (F# G# B D#) to add more flavor.
If you can dedicate the time to memorize all of the notes in the popular keys, what notes make up each chord in those keys, and where those notes are on the fretboard, you'll be better off than 99% of guitarists who all just think in shapes and hit a lifelong plateau. (Which happened to me for a long time)
You're awesome for taking the time to explain this. Thank you!
Totally agree! Makes a huge difference.
I will get busy!!
I don't understand how the 3rd chord is a G# Major? and a G#7 at that. Can you help me out with this? I thought only the 5 could be a Dominant7 chord.
@the supernatural thanks for the reply. If the key of EMaj is:
E, F#m, G#m, A, B, C#m, D#°
And the 7th chords diatonically are:
Emaj7, F#min7, G#min7, Amaj7, B7, C#min7, D#min7(b5)
Then my question is how does a dominant 7th chord fit over the 3 and still be in the key of Emaj? I agree if it sounds good it is good. I was just curious if was missing something.
I love how Brett Papa, who by the way, is no slouch at the guitar, steps back to let Guthrie shine!
These two are among my favourite guitarists doing the RUclips thing today.
Yep I love just chillin when I am around Guthrie he is terrifying so I figure why not just let him do his thing.
Brett has Class..Nice playing
My God this dude is from another planet... The way he plays I can never predict where he's going... So good thanks fellas
Yeah he pretty much is an endless supply of ideas!
@@BrettPapa ...wish to God I could see the fretboard as he does...
That comment definitely nails it!
His trick is maybe switching in visual mode when he have no inspiration.
this switching causes a kind of break, and then, stimulates the emergence
of new ideas. Any trick is good for breaking Our old unconscious vocabulary
The trick is to get “switching into visual mode” out of the way early on so you can focus on making music and not thinking. There’s no shortcuts. Spending time on the fundamentals now will reap huge benefits in the near future. The light bulb will go on for sure.
This man plays like an angel.
I have learned more by just watching this video than I have in 6 months.
Thank you thank you
Sure thing!
CAGED makes sense now. I got the forms, but how it unlocks the fretboard just clicked. What a monster player!
I don't think there's a better guitarist alive today! Absolutely amazing feel, technique and melody. Wow, incredible. Thank you Guthrie and great lesson Papa
Yeah he is pretty freakin amazing! Thanks for tuning in!
Guthrie’s playing at the end was simply outstanding.........super tasteful and an incredible feel. He’s quickly becoming a favorite!
Yep he is awesome!
The more I listen to GT..this is how I hear my solos and phrases..in my head Brilliant and Tasty
this is like sitting in a room with someone really good showing you the little things that really free up your playing and gives ideas.... love your vids man, this approach is gold
Thank you guys for doing this. I'm really glad you've met and become friends. There are a lot of great players out there but when I watch Guthrie play I see the player I'd like to aspire to be especially with this style of just chill playing but being able to command the fret-board and bend it to my will. Playing super fast is cool - but this - this is awesome. I'd love to see more.
More on the way! Thanks for watching!
U play the type of music I love. Teach me bro. Sweetest music that takes u away.
This is simply one of the best guitar videos ever recorded!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I have bought all of your programs Papa, and Guthrie I signed up with Artist Works on a 3 instructor program and got hammered for several months before realizing I was paying full price instead of the discounted price, they cancelled my subscription but not before I got all the way through your course. They have sense offered a discounted price so I might sign back up. I wish I could afford the Skype Lessons. Papa please hustle and bust your tail to keep the family and the Mrs. HAPPY to be in Nashville. I pray everything works out for ya’ll. It took a lot of faith to make the move, I am proud of you. GOD bless ya’ll.
Started playing guitar at 13; I'm 36 now and find that your vids have taught me more in the last year than any other avenue before. Many thanks for the knowledge!
Wow thanks! Glad they are helping you out!
I am in awe of that beginning jam, gentlemen. If you could record a record of that, I could listen to it all day. As unlearned as I am in music theory, I think it all comes down to playing around chord changes, which is what *I think* this lesson is about. Man, such amazing playing. Brilliant vid!
Thanks for watching!
Me too mate it is stunning
U don't need to be a expert at theory.Ur right this is showing how to play around chord changes...
What Guthrie says about learning the chords and scales around them is so true, and better than any lesson. My playing vastly improved after getting into the CAGED thing and being able to see everything in any position. Those triads he showed at the end proves it. LOL I've still got a lot to learn.
Nuclear melody - how, how, how! Such a lovely, humble guy who is so enthusiastic to share his knowledge. A true musical genius.
i want to thank you so much for these lessons. ive been playing the guitar for many years and consider myself a rather advanced player who found some of these things out but got stuck pretty badly at one point. noone could really answer me the question: "how do you play solos?". i was learning the shapes with blind eyes, mechanically, not visualizing the applications, and hated it... now I found your videos which fit my playing level perfectly.. I want to thank you, Papa, for your great didactical talent to break the fretboard down to shapes and - above all - present the applications of them! and i want to thank you, Guthrie, for your immensely melodic playing. you've just become one of my favorite players since you mix blues pentatonic and jazzy scales with major 7ths and 2nds I love so much - and you dont get "overjazzed" and abstract. I was looking for soloing like this for a long time and the fact that you simply explain this stuff in such and easy way is a huge gift for me. enough talking, going to grab the guitar!
This is *tremendous.* I'm just starting to "see" the chord shapes and scales and this is like looking behind the magician's curtain. A key reason this lesson/demo works so well is Papa does such a great job leading Guthrie through bite-sized examples. Thanks both!
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for watching!
This way of thinking is beginning to have a tremendous effect on how I view playing. I've been trapped in pentatonics for years, and devised an exercise that I thought would help me, where I would stay in the same spot, but play the corresponding pentatonic scale for each chord, like 4th position for first chord, stay in the same place and play 3rd position (or whatever position it would be) for the next chord, not realizing all I am doing is trying to force a key change over a chord change. I could hear it wasn't right, and man, was I way off. So thankful for these resources.
Guthrie is just a guitar wizard 🎸🙏🏻
For sure!
Im a guitar guy. This is one of the best solos I have ever heard. Wow. Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Best and most useful application of harmony theory ever. Thanks.
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Fender and Gibson always sound perfect together no matter the position!
Yep its a good combo! Thanks for tuning in!
Fantastic lesson! I've been "playing" guitar for almost 30 years now and I discovered this exact concept about 5 years ago. My playing has improved more in the last 5 years than in the 25 before. I can't stress enough how right Guthrie is about this. Learn the CAGED chords all the way up the neck, know the major scale in each of those positions and be able to arpeggiate the chords. Boom!
Yep I agree! Same exact thing happened to me!
..been a huge Guthrie Trapp fan for several years...one of the most tasteful players out there....thx Brett
You are welcome!
I can't tell you how excellent this is
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
So So Awesome !!!!! Brett the way you ask the questions in relation to how Guthrie is seeing the fretboard and his progression's is exactly what we all need to know. You have a great interview style and rapport with your guests, much better than others on RUclips. Rock On Papa !!!
Ps. Guthrie is such a complete player and generous with his knowledge .
Well done !!!!!!!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words!
eric blaich
Totally agree with each of your comments about both great teachers!!!
Yes, thank you, Brett! Thanks for wrangling him and asking the questions we all wanted to know!
This is a good video to watch in case you think you’re getting pretty decent on guitar...makes you realize you’re still a rank beginner. Guitar is one of those things where the more you learn, the more you realize how much there is to learn. Maybe that’s why it’s so addictive. Seriously though, imagine how many hours this guy has played to be able to visualize the way he does and make it look that easy.
A million hours haha! He is really amazing and has licks like that for years! Thanks for watching!
I love that sound...
Thanks for checking it out!
anybody hear Sublime's santeria in this opening jam or am i just crazy:)
Haha!
A little Ian Moore satisfied mixed in
I thought the same thing
Def
Nope
KNOWING Cord shapes in different area's on the fretboard,,,that's the key FIRST. ALSO YOU HAVE TO BE A GOOD IMPROVISER,,,THAT'S WHAT GUTHRIE WAS DOING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO. THANKS PAPA GREAT SHOW. - RJ
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Maaan their jam sounds gorgeous
Thanks for checking it out!
At 27:10 ish is the most valuable insight I've ever heard. Simple and extremely effective.
Understatement of the year...lol
That bit was unreal. Makes it look so simple but so amazing to see what’s hopefully possible by dedicating proper practice to learning those three note triads all within the sake scale shape.
I keep coming back to this. Best guitar video on RUclips.
Thanks! Glad ya think so!
Using construction terms was very helpful to me. What a player!!!
Yep Guthrie is the man!
Guthrie is the freakin Man! And so you are Big Poppa!
Yes he is! Love seeing him play! Thanks for checking us out!
Fantastic Papa! I have been played for 35 years and this is the most clear and fundamental guitar lesson that I’ve ever seen! Great!
Awesome! Glad you liked the video!
guthrie trapp is my hero
Mine too 😂
I just came across this video for the third time and I'm still amazed. Great interview Brett! Guthrie Trapp is the best! And he answers his email! 👍
Yep. Guthrie is a class act and an amazing talent!
I love Guthrie’s playing and teaching style. He is so right about visualizing the fretboard in chord shapes. It takes effort and time but it’s totally changed my ability to play the guitar. Thank you for having Guthrie on and I hope to see him again.
Thanks for checking it out! More coming soon!
Absolutely - know all of the chord shapes in all positions, hit the chord tones some and some wee bits of scales and you're half way to very melodic soloing. Tim Pierce uses chord tones a lot too.
I find that backing tracks are invaluable for this. I use Band in a Box to feed in chord progressions and can play it back in any of the inbuilt styles.
(I had BIAB for years and never knew what really to do with it lol)
The late jazzer, Tal Farlow, played improv over scales within chord shapes. Great instructional vid, guys.
I was in the other room when I heard this mouth watering, jaw dropping sound coming from my laptop because I left youtube running on.
What the hell was that? So many tasty licks lined up one after another after another. That was just beautiful. Thank you so much for that.
If u ever feel down about where you're at in your guitar education and where it's going, just watch this. Sure to motivate. Love that chord progression. Thank you both!
Haha! Thanks man!
You guys are a perfect guitar teaching team....Honestly
Awesome! Glad you like it! Guthrie is one of my favorite peeps!
Great lesson from Trapp! Thank you gents!
Sure thing!
Probably the best put together lesson I've watch on improv. Thanks heaps guys.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
22:32 just kept listening 🎧 🎶 over and over thank you. Great end of a shift ! Just starting to get into the world of guitar 🎸. How can I not be inspired to continue my education after listening to that ?! Cheers !
Awesome to hear Charles! Thanks for checking it out!
Crazy to have these lessons for FREE 🤯 fantastic video guys 🔥🎸🖤
Thanks for checking us out! We both have courses you can buy too if you really want to go deep lol!
The amount of knowledge you can get in this one single video is just vast. Thank you for this post! 👌
Sure thing Joshua!
This just might be the best RUclips guitar lesson made!
Wow! Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out.
GT is the real deal.Every once in a while an awesome player comes down the road! Wow!!! That was very helpful how he showed the E chord shapes up the neck. It can be adapted to any key.
Yep I have been around him and seen him play so many times and he never doesn't amaze me. Absolute beast on the guitar.
Bret. You're the main PAPA!!! Thank you for all your work. Amazing. Really, thank you...😮🙃
Sure thing!
I must say: I've been improvising for decades, and some days I impress myself? I want/ need to be more consistent, this video helped: SALUTES out to u guys!
Awesome Jim! Glad it helped!
Had to watch this again. What make him so good is his dynamics. This is something I don't ever see talked about really. He perfectly chooses which notes to play loudly and which to play softly. Also, when to speed it up to get up on the beat and then when to lay back. A person could have the tabs to these solos but it would take a lot of years to develop those dynamics as good as Guthrie.
Yep, agreed!
Good to see you guys together again
It spks for itself wow I knw wat il be working on for the next 6 months the caged system properly Thanx guys some really helpful gems!!!
Awesome! Glad you liked the vid!
super blues in different variants. different styles of guitar playing, every honor.every tone is clearly heard. purely played. The blues are played by the spirit that wears
Amazing and invaluable video. It’ll take months to digest and apply this practical, useful knowledge. Beautiful playing in the triad section.
Thanks for watching! More Guthrie coming soon!
Love this chord progression its one that really calls to my musical sense and I had probably heard it thousands of times in different iterations/keys through my 30 + years of playing but had never learned it before today, and who in the hell are the 14 people that voted thumbs down on this? Really?...especially since it's top-level free instruction???
Haha, you can't please them all! It's always great to hear someone like Guthrie to take a common chord progression and spice it up! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video,,. you guys are easy to watch, not repetitive and your discussions are very laid back & extremely informative. After 20 + years of playing guitar, I just started understanding the caged system and major scale voicing. The best door thats opened for my playing in decades thanks to you guys. Definitely the type of atmosphere I feel comfortable continuing guitar.
Keep them coming & all the best in the New Year !
This guy is good. Hooks you on in the first bar.
Yep, Guthrie is the man!
I watch this like once a month and learn something new each time. So much good stuff here. Thx GT and BP!!
For sure! Guthrie has so much to offer in his lessons! Thanks for watching!
Matt Scholfield and Josh Smith takes the same approach when it comes soloing, using chord tones and arpreggios. Guthrie Trapp is library of knowledge, he's breaking down some serious melodic science right here. Yall keep up the good work Brett.
Thanks. Very informative! You both are sensatuinal pickers. Lovr your instructional videis.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
Gotta be honest Papa, having been circulating through youtube videos for months now looking to find the push to the next stage of development I know I have in me but have yet to get to, the stuff you've done with Guthrie has been the most insightful anywhere. I was starting and stopping learning new songs cause it was just more repetition of stuff where I'm doing it rote and running into the same blocks when I start trying to tinker with it liek any musician has to when they play a cover unless you wanna sound like everyone else. Same pentatonic ideas, same recycled poor man's Hendrix stuff but without the harmonic understanding to apply it as well as the man did himself.
Just after watching these videos a number of times and going and fiddling with the concepts has produced the most satisfying playing I've done this year. Its pushing the fog away and its very exciting. In general your collab videos with great artists have been excellent. Hope you can get Guthrie in again.
Thanks! Glad you like the vids! Guthrie is coming in soon. We just talk the other day about it. Its gonna be awesome!!!
Fascinating stuff.
That little jam at the end was off the charts.
Here's another video jammed with stuff I NEED to learn.
Excellent!
Thanks Robert! Glad you liked it!
Brett, THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE YOU HAVE EVER DONE!!!!!!!! I needed to watch this and learn. The CAGED really clicks now. Expecting bigger and better things from ya. LOL!! GREAT JOB !!
Haha! More to come. I have a CAGED course coming out next week. Great place to start and then when you got it down Guthrie will take it to crazy town if you are ready! Thanks for watching!
Guthrie is a supreme and sublime master!!!
It's true!
I've said this before I know, but I love listening to Guthrie. You will learn so much. This coming from a 80's hair/metal guy, in which I've also stated before. Again I can't get enough of Guthrie.
Nope, agreed! Guthrie is the bomb!
I had a lesson with Guthrie last week, and it totally changed how I approach looking at the guitar. I have to be honest, my head hurt for 2 days after it, just trying to absorb/digest everything. But now that I've recovered, what he teaches is the best way I've ever encountered for a way to looking at, and playing. Best part is the lesson was recorded, so now I can go back and revisit the exercises, tips, knowledge, and my own awful playing anytime I like. Bottom line -- GT is as good as it gets, and money well spent on my part. And yes, this video's chord progression was used! :)
For sure! His private lessons are great! His courses are great too.
This is absolutely beautiful playing the playing is as beautiful as your Gibson guitar which is breathtaking.. I definitely will watch this until I can do these licks I love this style of playing .. thanks so much for the great lessons Guthrie Trapp
My lord is this helpful. Thank you so much!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
He is amazing at the guitar. I gotta say you are the most talented person I have seen in a very long time!
Guthrie has that effect on people haha!
8 minutes in, and suddenly the back of my head blew off.... so, yeah, thanks for that. ;-) Great stuff 👍
Haha! He will do that to you!
Man, being able to distinguish chord changes and seeing that chord note all over the fretboard making the end result look effortlessly. Man, I am jealous
It's the key!
This JAM at the end, sincerely, warms my heart. You keep kickin' ass Guthrie!!! Good man.
Thanks for watching!
Man, that was brilliant, learned a lot from yous today thanks so much. 🎉
Thanks for tuning in!
Guthrie is the best flat out guitar player Ive ever seen in person I talked with him briefly at Roberts on Broadway when he first came to Nashville he was playing with Don K when I came back home I told everybody about him he had a huge impact on me
Yep he is one of the best I’ve ever seen as well. You should see him jamming at his house haha! Ridiculous!!!
My new direction and inspiration boys thanks so much for these vids! So melodic it’s crazy!! Can’t get enough!
Sure thing! Glad you like them!
Def one of my favorite players thanks for this
You are welcome!
Awesome - Truly Awesome
Thanks for checking it out Charlie!
...two really really good guitar players who don't mind sharing their knowledge with others ....thx fellows
He went pure nasty the second time around at about 22 min. I hope people understand the underlying knowledge he possesses of how the chords apply relative to the major scale of the specific key he is playing in and how his playing style truly encompasses a perfect balance of each along side with many other musical techniques and qualities that accent it. I can’t stop watching this vid. Great stuff
Thanks for checking it out!
Man, that 335 is gorgeous!
It's a great one!
Love how after that mind blistering playing, Brett plays it cool, while inside he’s total fan boying.
Haha! I'm with Guthrie all the time. And yes I am a fan. He is one wicked guitarist.
I've been stuck for a long time, in terms of guitar playing. Playing has not been fun at all, but this dude inspired me to sit down on my couch and try to learn this stuff. Thank you Papastache for making this video!
Sure thing! Thanks for checking it out!
This is ONE of the best visual explanations of this topic. Thanx guys
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
so many good licks
Yes he does have some serious talent! Amazing player and an awesome hang as well. More to come!
Fluid. Beautiful. Soulful.
You guys are a great team.
Thanks for checking us out!
this guys is so solid
Guthrie is the man!
Seriously around 13 minutes in is so beautiful
Thanks for checking it out!
The Internet needs more videos like this. Great playing all round. Thanks to you both :)
Sure thing!
What a beautiful guitar Guthrie is playing. I love how the lighting shows the checking in that nitro finish. Gorgeous guitar and gorgeous playing.
Thanks for watching!
This is something else. Two folks into what they're doing and creating magic, whilst divulging some of the ingredients. Perfect setting and P asking exactly the questions I'd be wondering. Thanks for this... I hope it happens again sometime. Take care!
More coming soon! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
A lot of work to do but sounds well worth the patience, persistence and practice! Deeply appreciate your well delivered teachings.
Thanks for checking them out!
He is outrageously good
Yes he is!!!
I am confused and smiling! Love the concepts. Back to practicing.
Haha!
Beautiful. SUBLIME!
Guthrie has that effect on people!
A banquet of tasty licks, concepts and practical theory. Thanks chaps!
Sure thing!
