  • I thought this would be some cool material to cover. Here are some essential blues rhythm guitar voicings. Key of G with classic 1-4-5 progression.
    It’s been a hell of a week in Boston, NYC and Chicago. What a blast!
    Thanks for those of you that came out and supported all the shows.
    Have fun and carry on!

    Love your content. 11:46 it's a G13 (implies there's a 9th but it's missing here) alternatively G6/7th in bass.
    The walk down at 19:14 is great. It can be interpreted a few different ways. G(3rd in bass) or Em7 (5th in bass) => D#7(5th in bass) or Bbdim or A7b9 (b9 in bass) => D7(5th in bass) => G7. Which would give you a 1 2 (tritone sub) 5 1 or 6m 2(tritone sub) 5 1 or a chromatic descend 6m 6b 5 1. I think the 2nd one (6m 2(tritone sub) 5 1) is probably the origin of that walk down.

      I really appreciate your comment here.. but this is exactly the type of super confusing overthinking theory that I’m trying to steer people away from! It’s about the way it sounds in context. Especially the walk down you’re referencing.

      @@guthrietrappmusic Trust me, I know I can definitely overthink theory, as I did in that turn around. I've learned in the past many turn arounds that sounded great or almost great and couldn't figure out why they worked. Sometimes the theory gets in the way, sometimes it helps me figure out variations. Sometimes it helped just listening to the music those people were listening to, and the origin of the "lick" revealed itself. Keep the good content on, love your playing.

    Man, you're so damn genuine - this channel is such a treat, and you can tell we all just appreciate it so much. You always mention that you put fairly little time into these freebie lessons and life updates, but sitting down with my guitar and queuing up your videos has given me so many lightbulb moments, there are just so many tasty nuggets that you seem to intersperse so casually. You get me to pick up the instrument and not just noodle and play the same shit over and over. Thank you so much!

    At 11:48 that is a really cool voicing. It's movable and puts the b7 on the bottom. The chord is defined by the top note ( as shown it's the G) it's a G13. From top to bottom = R-13th-3rd-b7. Or X-5-6-6-5-X would be E13. Move this shape anywhere and the top note is the root.
