Guthrie, I've been playing nearly 45 years from a kid. I havent really had any lessons so mostly played just by the the sound without knowing any theory. I thought I'd gone as far as my knowledge would allow. When I heard you playing the first time I became completely remotivated to learn more and now your style of teaching is so practical & meaningful that a light has come on and Im playing again-difference is I now know why I was playing what I was and the fretboard hascompletely opened up for me. Thanks. You're a star and one of my all time favourite guitarists.
This is the first time I've actually understood the concept of what notes to "choose" in a solo... It's always been randomly through scales... Words cannot express my thanks.
Disclaimer- I actually strayed from the A D E progression I mention demonstrating over at 12:35. It is actually outlining A D A D A then to E A D A , E A D A , E A D A. Ha! I know thats totally random, but thats what it is if you listen to it.
I’ve watched a million guitar lesson videos over the last 10 years. What your teaching is exactly what I’ve been wanting to learn. I like that this is your focus in teaching us. Watching you play is mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Brilliant! Clarity, what a great lesson. Thanks for that. It’s great how you’re clarifying the fretboard for all us old guys who’ve been playing by ear for many years, even those of us who know and like ‘theory.’ Keep up the great work, GT…just love your playing.
Guthrie. Thank you so much. 20 years playing on and off and finally I get it. Out of hundreds of teachers, why are only a few teachers teaching this? Also thank you Brett Papa for moving this instruction forward. Guthrie, thank you for continuing it. Hopefully more to come.
I hope you never lose that, explaining the intervals. I'm trying to teach myself jazz, and the targets and intervals are everything. Too many instructors on here just say a fret number and never explain why, useless. Awesome job!
Man I just wanted to say this series of learning to solo over chord changes literally sounded like a foreign language on the first couple you posted. I’ve been watching and rewatching all of what you’ve posted and each one keeps getting easier to understand. I appreciate so much how you really and truly want to give others the opportunity to learn this instrument and to actually take it to the next level. Although I haven’t comprehended too much of what you’re putting out, these are easily some of the most informative videos on RUclips. Thanks man. Look forward to the next video.
I'm a decent, intermediate, but been trying to find a guide that talks about chord tones and scales, and especially in a blues context, I can honestly say you are the best I've found. Made me think about it in new ways, especially with Chromaticism, which I usually avoid.
This series of lessons is pure gold! Thanks so much for making these lessons for us Guthrie, I can't get enough of them! You're a phenomenal teacher as well. To this day I haven't seen anybody explain this topic so well and on point with lots of tips on how and what to practice to get this down. Thanks again!
Just wanted to say thanks for a straight forward and to the point lesson. I'm loving how you explain where you are going and why you hit certain notes that lead to the next chord. Flat 7 major 3rd. Love it.
This stuff is Gold, Guthrie! I feel like the lesson you gave me kicked me off in a whole new direction. It takes a lot of practice right now, connecting the chord shapes and seeing where the notes are moving, but it's staring to click. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
GREAT information! I've been playing guitar for going on three decades, and I've never seen that explained so clearly. You've made me want to practice 👍
Guthrie this is nothing short of amazing. From average guitar players everywhere...thank you. Never seen a better lesson on this subject.And ive seen a few
I’ve learned as much from Guthrie’s videos and Artistworks in the past 4 months than I did in much of my 18 years of playin! Awesome videos and great content!
I saw you on a couple of guitar teaching channels and really enjoyed your melodic playing style ! truly amazed ! really appreciated you share your knowledge that would inspire us as guitar playing and music appreciation !!!
Hey Guthrie I love your lessons , they really make a lot of sense. Played 40 years ago then quit because kids now back again for about 3 years And your playing is what I want to play like. Love them Blues Keep up the good work, and keep the lessons and theory coming
I enjoy playing in a be-bop stabs because they are so leading. I have no theory, being a couch guitarist but I’ve found these as they inform you, or lead you to resolving the prior chord or note. Two note stabs seem to peal back the underlying structure and they are always close at hand making them easy to find and expose the fretboard patterns. My first time on your channel as you are mentioned or referenced plenty so I thought I’d give you a listen. Great tone and great explanation. Thank you!
@@guthrietrappmusic I was just playing these exercises just now and it struck me what it was......Strawberry Fields Forever? Hope Im commenting on the correct video.
long time fan of your playing gutherie, ive been working on soloing with the chord tones in any key and you showing the major third of the next chord behind the flat 7 just turned on so many light bulbs for me!
Thanks Guthrie. I've been learning so much from these videos, and I actually think that the way you do the lessons are perfect. I can go back over them and gain a little more every time. I'm still a total novice, but I'm getting things for the first time, without having to rely on tabs, which seems to install it into my mind better. Much appreciated !
Thanks for putting it all together in a way that makes it easier to visualize what you are playing as you are playing it. I have always struggled with that!
Cool! I never focused on how the 7ths and 3rds are such close neighbors. Your teaching and playing is just great. Thanks for sharing the secrets of how you do your magic.
Like lots of others have already said - many, many thanks Guthrie for taking the trouble to break down and explain some fundamental aspects of your approach to playing (out of this world sometimes like that intense jam 4-5 years with Brent Mason and the guys on bass and drums - Wow!). I've seen quite a few of your earlier vids, which while very good, were not nearly so 'user friendly' (even with the RUclips slow down function). This one and the one you posted a week or so earlier have been really excellent. It doesn't get much better than this. Cheers.
Getting in on the ground floor of your lessons/videos and enjoying the heck out of it. I had suspected that 3rd was an important key to chord movement and (lead) guitar. My suspicions were confirmed by this and the previous lesson. Thanks a million been at it for many years and just dig your style and your teaching. Love to hear you say, "it's not perfect" keep it human. Thanks Willet
So perfectly explained. Thank you so much. Hearing you play those changes is such great insight into what you're thinking. I can truly hear it in your improvised solos. Thank you for this. God, if I'd seen something like this 20 years ago. But, better late than never. It took just a couple minutes for me to start using this in my own leads...
Great stuff. I have to really concentrate to get all of the info. It’s like a weeks worth of stuff in 5 minutes. Many thanks to you and I do appreciate all of the material. You are very correct when you say that this is ‘what you-tube/the internet is for’ Wish it was there 30 years ago, I could been somebody........at least more than I am.
Excellent! Great example. It helps to see what can be done with it. Gives me a lot to work on. I am soloing with chord shapes more than by scales these days. Thanks for that!
Love the way you explain things Guthrie! I’ve been trying to solo following the changes for years and a few of your videos just made it click and I’m so happy with the music I’m making now! Thank you for doing what you do sir!
I too learned about you through Papa. Great stuff and appreciate you taking the time time to show the masses this great info. So much to process, but your stuff is epic. Just aren’t a lot of teachers out there that can explain these concepts in relatable terms. Keep up the great videos and again, thanks!
Very eye opening revelation...now the 5th back to the 1. (Maybe I need to watch again), but the 1st to the 4th got it...time to practice. Almost forgot THANK YOU!!!
Another helpful video ...please keep these coming. Along the exact same lines of anticipating the III of the upcoming change, I like to notice the root down a half step to Nat 7 connects a I to V turnaround, and the fifth to sixth melody carries a I to IV chord change. In all those cases, it’s really great the way you point out the ways to look around, then, for the neighboring chord shapes, or fragments of those shapes, to orient on the other side of each change. (hope that’s not rambling and confusing)
David Hallowell Thanks man!! Yes that’s it! It’s hearing it as much or more than seeing it, but you have to see it when just figuring this stuff out. It all helps!
Hiya dude, loving your playing, found you with TP and looked you up, your a very real explainer with the way you teach, thanks for being a relatable guy.... CHEERS from Australia
Thanks Guthrie this is exactly what i asked for a few weeks back . Bullseye... i think many will get a ton of mileage from this information.. Its this smooth linking up and resolution of ideas/ scales/licks that really elevates ones playing and lead work.. cheers
Simp Simpson awesome!! I will keep ramping up. It’s kind of a big picture thing. The fundamentals are key but some people might not see how it’s all connected right away. Then the light bulb comes on!!
@@guthrietrappmusic Hi.. Keep up with these lessons if you can..you have almost 5000 views after only a day or so up.. Thats impressive on its own... This lesson is subtle but killer.. I mean one just drops a semitone from the flat 7th to the 3rd in the 4 chord yet it makes a massive difference as it so effortlessly leads the listeners ear.. Ive never even considered this and have been playing for 30years but now am very conscious of this and Its already making a massive difference to how I approach soloing Perhaps One day in a Guthrie Trapp YT masterclass ;o) Id love you to explain your musical ideas here. ruclips.net/video/2njlqzIKhgI/видео.html also kennys solo is incredible.. both super fluid and relaxed but theres a ton of tension and release there. and it swings like hell.. Best regards
This has been one of the most effective guitar lessons I've had on youtube or in person. Thank you so much for this amazing content. Please keep up the great work!
Man, Guthrie. These are so great. Thank you for putting in the work! Really, really appreciate it. Nothing like learning from a master while sitting in my home.
Great voice leading lesson. It's really helpful. I found it helpful play the root note with the 3rd and 7th of each chord in all inversions all over the neck to help see where they fall.
A very clair and good lesson explaining de 7 resolving to the 3 of de next chord, very essential in all kinds of music. Outlining those notes makes you sound like a pro and not like a weekend warrior. Guys get serious and study this stuff. Greetings Vic.
I haven't seen anybody that can see the caged system as good as you and all it's benefits and changes ..isn't guitar , theory amazing..great stuff never ending thanks Guthrie!!
Guthrie, love your videos on playing over chord changes, exactly what I need! You really should put this info into a book with audio, l’d be the first to buy it!!!!
This is a great lesson! Thanks Guthrie! For those who haven't checked out Guthrie's curriculum at ArtistWorks.com, get yourself signed up! He's got a ton of pre-recorded lesson videos and a video exchange platform which is also awesome. It has already made a huge difference in my playing after just a few months. I used to approach improvising by starting with a 7-note scale and then I'd try to pick out the important notes, which ends up being a lot to process if the chords are moving quickly. Instead, Guthrie's curriculum is all about focusing on chord tones and then the rest of the scale follows when you need it. It's a little shift in thought, but the payoff has been big!
Hey Guthrie Trapp youve been my idol since the first time i saw your video, i'm just beginner i dont even know how to playing scale well , but your videos always motivates me to practice everyday, i really love melodies and everything you played, i hope one day i could feel what you feel when you playing guitar, thankyou so damn much!
Lots of good guitar instruction on RUclips Guthrie, but you are quickly becoming my favourite. Thank you so much for posting and sharing. Was watching one of your other videos --- have to get a 335 now ! :) Think you were playing with Papa or Tim Pierce (or both); your tone was just gorgeous.
Another great lesson Guthrie, thank you. I'm striving to see the fretboard in the way that you do, and I am making progress. I don't have the decades to get to your level of playing, but I do, hopefully have enough years to be able to play at the best level I'm capable of, and that's all I can ask.
Hey Guthrie thanks for all your vids, i was missing the g shape in my playing, and wasn't using the c shape because frankly, it was difficult! Been using the e, a and d shapes for years, but you convinced me to buckle down and get my sorry ass to working on it and now i can do it all! Really was the last piece to the puzzle for me man, cannot thank you enough! Also, you're a badass, keep on rocking man!
MrGarlandSnow awesome!! Keep in mind it’s not as much physically playing all those shapes and holding down all the notes in them as it is seeing the notes in the shapes and having that down pat. Then you have the framework in place. 👍🎶😎
Another great lesson and big eye opener for the b7 to maj 3rd pull on the ear....you can close your eyes and listen and hear the changes easily! So cool! Your lessons are very helpful and super clear to understand. please keep this up! Hey it would be great to go over some simple licks and phrasing to help "connect" the shapes together so they sound more like lead licks and not just 1s, 3s, and 5s....like that exercise you showed of playing the 1, 3 and 5 is awesome (Ive tried it and it works amazing!) but I mean more how you connect it all together to sound like lead licks and not just arpeggios of chords.
Great lesson. They finally got my info straightened out and I got signed up at ArtistWorks. I just saw a video of Norman:s Rare Guitars and the Scottish dude was playing a National Tricone and You, Brett PapaStach , and Tim Pierce were in the background just a few hours ago. Your feet must be as fast as your fingers, Nike needs to sponsor you. You are one busy Dude. Thanks.
Hey man, great stuff that you are showing, coming to you through Mr. Papa and you are perfectly adding up for the more intermediate players! Thanks for your effort and always looking forward for more new stuff from east Nashville. cheers from Germany
Wow man, I really appreciate this. Using the b7 of a I to move seamlessly to the maj3 of the IV...not sure why I never discovered that but it was very helpful. Thank you!
So (last part of video EAEAE etc) E to flat 7(D) DOWN! to C#(3rd of A).....the A to flat7(G) UP UP UP! to G#!(3rd of E)...........the down to,and up to is the crucial bit missing,but I have it now. Descending into A and Rising into E. May help someone out there. Genius fretboard movement is difficult to get into words...but keep up the lessons they're priceless,thanks again

dartagnan moore Thanks a bunch man!! That’s it!! You got it.
Yep, it really is like the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching him how to catch his own fish!
Very functional approach and well explained. Puts meaning into the otherwise empty instruction of 'just play over the chord change.'
Thanks man! I'll be trying to unlock more secrets soon!!
Man, pure gold! Thanks so much Guthrie! You are connecting dots that no one else is teaching. I'm hooked!
I'm just getting again and after seeing this video i would like to see all of your videos ware do i sing up????

He's got a ton of pre-recorded lesson videos and a video exchange platform which is also awesome. It has already made a huge difference in my playing after just a few months. I used to approach improvising by starting with a 7-note scale and then I'd try to pick out the important notes, which ends up being a lot to process if the chords are moving quickly. Instead, Guthrie's curriculum is all about focusing on chord tones and then the rest of the scale follows when you need it. It's a little shift in thought, but the payoff has been big!
Eli Pointer thanks a ton Eli! Means a lot man!! Glad it’s working for you.
Hey Guthrie Trapp youve been my idol since the first time i saw your video, i'm just beginner i dont even know how to playing scale well , but your videos always motivates me to practice everyday, i really love melodies and everything you played, i hope one day i could feel what you feel when you playing guitar, thankyou so damn much!
Gairah xperiment Thank you so much man!! Means a lot.
Another great lesson. Your channel will hit 100k subscribers really soon.
wilburs80 I hope so man!! Thanks a bunch!!
Lots of good guitar instruction on RUclips Guthrie, but you are quickly becoming my favourite. Thank you so much for posting and sharing. Was watching one of your other videos --- have to get a 335 now ! :) Think you were playing with Papa or Tim Pierce (or both); your tone was just gorgeous.
Set Ter thanks so much man!! Means a lot.
Another great lesson Guthrie, thank you. I'm striving to see the fretboard in the way that you do, and I am making progress. I don't have the decades to get to your level of playing, but I do, hopefully have enough years to be able to play at the best level I'm capable of, and that's all I can ask.
Escape the Matrix thanks man!! That’s all we can ever ask for!
Hey Guthrie thanks for all your vids, i was missing the g shape in my playing, and wasn't using the c shape because frankly, it was difficult! Been using the e, a and d shapes for years, but you convinced me to buckle down and get my sorry ass to working on it and now i can do it all! Really was the last piece to the puzzle for me man, cannot thank you enough! Also, you're a badass, keep on rocking man!
MrGarlandSnow awesome!! Keep in mind it’s not as much physically playing all those shapes and holding down all the notes in them as it is seeing the notes in the shapes and having that down pat. Then you have the framework in place. 👍🎶😎
@@guthrietrappmusic thanks man, will do! Thanks again for all you do, you're awesome!
Thanks! Really helps get away from just thinking about scales only!😁
tony elkins Thanks! Yes it will open up the fretboard. Just stick with it!!
Another great lesson and big eye opener for the b7 to maj 3rd pull on the ear....you can close your eyes and listen and hear the changes easily! So cool! Your lessons are very helpful and super clear to understand. please keep this up! Hey it would be great to go over some simple licks and phrasing to help "connect" the shapes together so they sound more like lead licks and not just 1s, 3s, and 5s....like that exercise you showed of playing the 1, 3 and 5 is awesome (Ive tried it and it works amazing!) but I mean more how you connect it all together to sound like lead licks and not just arpeggios of chords.
Scott Card great! Thanks man! Ok I’ll try and do that soon. 👍😎🎶
Great lesson!
Alan Fitzgerald thanks !!
Another fantastic video. Thank you for posting these wonderful lessons.
MrGitpicker thanks man!!
Thank you. Another great lesson!
Thanks man!!
Thanks Guthrie!
Great lesson. They finally got my info straightened out and I got signed up at ArtistWorks. I just saw a video of Norman:s Rare Guitars and the Scottish dude was playing a National Tricone and You, Brett PapaStach , and Tim Pierce were in the background just a few hours ago. Your feet must be as fast as your fingers, Nike needs to sponsor you. You are one busy Dude. Thanks.

Thanks man!!
What kind of douchebag would give a thumbs down??? God bless you Guthrie! You have changed my life
Good on ya, Guthrie!
Hey man, great stuff that you are showing, coming to you through Mr. Papa and you are perfectly adding up for the more intermediate players! Thanks for your effort and always looking forward for more new stuff from east Nashville. cheers from Germany
down the line thanks a bunch man!! Brett has really helped light a fire under my butt!!
Wow man, I really appreciate this. Using the b7 of a I to move seamlessly to the maj3 of the IV...not sure why I never discovered that but it was very helpful. Thank you!
Richard Greer thanks man!!
So (last part of video EAEAE etc) E to flat 7(D) DOWN! to C#(3rd of A).....the A to flat7(G) UP UP UP! to G#!(3rd of E)...........the down to,and up to is the crucial bit missing,but I have it now. Descending into A and Rising into E. May help someone out there. Genius fretboard movement is difficult to get into words...but keep up the lessons they're priceless,thanks again
Eric Antoszewski thanks man!!
