Anyone else just play this intro over and over again like I do? So much emotion, I'm striving to put that emotion in my improvising. Thanks GT, if nothing else for at least giving me a goal to strive for
When I see virtuous guitarists on the internet they cause me frustration and depression. But with you guys it's totally different, I prefer this Gutrie over any other. Thanks Brett for your channel
Back in 2001 I saw Guthrie with singer Nick something (when they were Filthy Rich) do a set at this hole in the wall in Fairhope AL (Mama Ruex's) and his playing blew my friggin mind, and I remember wondering how one gets to play that good. I had only been playing a few years at that point. And now 17+ years later he's on the internet teaching us his magic. Awesome. So glad I stumbled upon this.
Guthrie helped me understand things like this: World = Key you're playing in Neighborhood = Chord Progression House = Style of Chord Progression (Blues, Jazz, Funk, etc...) Foundation of the House = Full Chord Shapes Frame Work = Chord Triads (1,3,5) Walls = Arpeggiating the chord Decoration = Scale / Mode depending on the style of music
Bending in and out of major/minor 3rds + bending in and out of major/minor 7ths is awesome. Sounds so bad if you don't do it right, but when it is done right..good work.
Absolutely, Music is a combination of mathematical sequences and frequencies that a specific combination sparks our brains individually...its euphoric mind blowing
Lovely there is literally no end to music theory. Tones and progressions are amazing!! flowing smoothly with continuous melodic theory/patterns doors keep opening to possibilities with your videos . Thank you both!
Can we play the major scale of each chord of the same scale ? For example in a G major song with G C Am as chord : can we play the C major scale when the song is playing a C chord and A minor scale when playing over the Am ?
This lesson is killer. I think talking and playing during a lesson is just fine! This is what finally got the whole CAGED/modes thinking straight in my head.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Pure Gold! Only a few minutes in, and I've already stopped and rewound the video multiple times to try to absorb all the gems being shared here. Thanks to you both for sharing this!!!
Damn that first lick lay down, this dude is sick. This is a fantastic window into an amazing guitar mind, very educational if you are intermediate - advanced with guitar. I gotta say this video is really awesome, it can take some work but I've got tired of just trying to solo over the root chord or the relative minor and always had trouble jumping from chord to cord while improvising a solo. This is very helpful for that.
7:33 - Can be treated as a backdoor dominant, a iv min6 or a ii m7b5 (D7, Am6 or F#m7b5). A melodic minor sounds great over that chord, and of course the F#m7b5 arpeggio sounds killer over the Am as well.
So worth the watch, as expected. Very inspiring. I’ll never forget the time Papa Took the time to comment on one of my videos many years ago. He’s an amazing and humble player. Loving this channel!
Many thanks, PS! I really want to start posting vids again soon. My most recent stuff has been playing with the Lexington Lab Band live and in studio on occasion. Great people and musicians. If you have a chance check out their Boston episode here on RUclips. 5 songs in total and I’m playing the Ebony Les Paul Standard and Whale Blue PRS Singlecut. They cover everything from Steely Adan to Johnny Cash. Had a blast!
Wow! This is awesome. Brett, I love the way you present these amazing guitar players. Normally I would listen to the likes of Guthrie Trapp and just give up on trying to play the guitar. But this just made me pick up my guitar 'cause there is so much I can learn from this. In fact I'm taking the morning off work 'cause I just cannot put the guitar down until my fingers are too sore. I can't thank you enough, gentlemen.
While I agree with this statement, there are metal players out there that can shred AND still have great phrasing. Admittedly, they are few and far between but when I think of metal players with amazing phrasing, the first guy that comes to mind is Alex Skolnik. That guy can play a million miles but that doesn't make him a great player. What makes him a great player is he has a great melodic sensibility that is amazing to witness when combined with his amazing technique.
papastache102 I saw him play with Trigger Hippie....he filled in and it was their last show...More of a rock style than what you’d expect from him.....made me a fan....thanks again
This clip is just too funny. He's almost knocking Papastache out of his chair with his playing. Hard get more sweet and melodic than that and he makes it look super simple too ;) Great stuff!
There are few people on RUclips that I love to watch and listen to play guitar, one is Tim Pierce and the other is Guthrie Trapp -- so fluid and everything seems effortless.
This lesson came right on time. You’ve been hitting right in the wheelhouse of what I’m trying to work on lately and the way you and Guthrie broke this down opened the flood gates of tonal tasty goodness! Definitely looking forward to more lessons with both you guys. Thanks a ton Brett!
Now, how awesome would it be to see Trapp and Price get together and bounce guitar playing techniques off of each other! I can only imagine. Thanks Papa! This was great!
Great job getting Guthrie! I absolutely love the guy's playing. I think I've watched every video of him that's available. He often talks about not knowing extensive theory, and that gives me hope. Hey Guthrie, come hangout at my place in Ky. for about 2 months and I'll pay your way the entire time. *lol*
By the way these videos are absolutely gold, some of my favorite on RUclips. Ford and Guthrie are beasts and I'm so thankful to be able to learn their mindset and steal their licks!
great combo! Guthrie, the mad genius! and i have to say Papa is, unbeknown to him is like a real melody wiz, off the top of the dome...Which is unteachable either u got it or not!
What a great lesson, from a really nice guy (Guthrie), who, like Brett, has the ability to actually explain and show what he is doing so that those of us who pick things up very slowly, can actually understand. Brett many, many thanks for this (and your other videos, too). Probably one of the most enjoyable guitar videos I have ever seen, and I am delighted to hear that you and Guthrie will be doing another couple of videos.
Great lesson, already watched it entirely twice! Killer player, awesome tips, love the way he plays sixth all the time, it's so melodic hope you could make a video with him talking about it :) Keep doing what you do, your guitar channel is one of the best in my humble opinion ;)
If I recall another insane player, Matt Schofield uses the same technique of playing the scale over the chord changes. Guthrie is one of my all time favorites and this video shows why. Great video, Papa. Thank you.
Right around 20:30 I was like hey that sounds very Cuban..... sure enough Guthrie ends up mentioning it. That minor to dominant sound with harmonic minor is so good.
@@BrettPapa Papa i was stuck until that video...My man that was a life changer...Until the next light bulb...Along with the CAGED system ,I can play Star Spangled Banner all over the fret board...its an accomplishment
This is great stuff. I hope to travel to Nashville this year. So many amazing musicians. Thanks for introducing me to Guthrie and Ford. I'm following their stuff now and loving it. Love your channel too Papa. I've learned so much from these videos on how to target notes over chords. Making big progress
Fantastic playing and explanation. I want to get good at this technique. You really have to think to play over chords like that. The challenge makes it fun. I think that's why we all like guitar. The challenge! Guthrie is a great guest to have at the 102!
Anyone else just play this intro over and over again like I do? So much emotion, I'm striving to put that emotion in my improvising. Thanks GT, if nothing else for at least giving me a goal to strive for
Thanks for checking it out!
Dude 4 years later I'm still doing it. Some magic was captured during this session.
Still doin it, and everytime I listen to his explanation it gets more and more confusing 😕
Intro key is Emaj ? i hopme copy to intro ah..I want to tab..I am really newbie Emaj-C#m-B-Emaj ?
There’s gold in here. Going to have to study this video a bit. Thanks fellas
Thanks for checking it out!
Man, this shit is blowing my mind right now. I've been looking at it for two nights, and I'm on the verge of a huge breakthrough.
Nice! Thanks for checking it out!
Keep telling her that.
Nice keep jamming!
I'll be watching this over and over. Guthrie is such a hero.
Yes he is!
I agree to
Thought it was Marty First! :D
Haha! Same kind of hat and guitar!
Hah,me too:)
I thought the same thing bro
Me too! Haha
ahaha me too.. you should defitively call him to make a trio for guitar teaching. 1 Billion views guaranteed ;)
This session has some beautiful sounding improvisation, great tone, and a lot of valuable knowledge. Thanks for posting this.
Sure thing!
When I see virtuous guitarists on the internet they cause me frustration and depression. But with you guys it's totally different, I prefer this Gutrie over any other. Thanks Brett for your channel

Guthrie helped me understand things like this:
World = Key you're playing in
Neighborhood = Chord Progression
House = Style of Chord Progression (Blues, Jazz, Funk, etc...)
Foundation of the House = Full Chord Shapes
Frame Work = Chord Triads (1,3,5)
Walls = Arpeggiating the chord
Decoration = Scale / Mode depending on the style of music
Guthrie is a godsend for those of us who don't speak musical Clingon
This guy has good teaching skills, so chill.
Guthrie is awesome!
Haha it cracks me up when Papa laughs because it's exactly how we would be if we were there playing with Guthrie! LOL
Yep, cant do nothin' but chuckle at those ferocious licks!
Learning the caged shapes are so valuable,n the arpeggios n scales that go with them like he said.
Yep, it's the key!
Bending in and out of major/minor 3rds + bending in and out of major/minor 7ths is awesome. Sounds so bad if you don't do it right, but when it is done right..good work.
Thanks!
Absolutely, Music is a combination of mathematical sequences and frequencies that a specific combination sparks our brains individually...its euphoric mind blowing
So glad to see this man. You and Guthrie are great together
Had a blast! Great dude and a mind blowing guitar player!
Active Melody I agree ... no low cut shaven chests make it a pleasure. Only the hardcore fans will know what I’m talking about 😎
You know this is good when Active Melody is watching. Thx for having Guthrie on your channel. I’ll play & rewind many times
papastache102 When is the next Guthrie installment coming? I think he does his best explain in this video that I've ever seen him do.
Hey Brian, I'd like to see you and Guthrie put something together on RUclips. Make it happen.
Apparently having the name „Guthrie“ improves your chance to being a great guitar player by about 500%.
Haha! No kidding!
Yes...from now on my name is Guthrie Guthrie Perez...Hope it works ( no offense...Mr Trapp )
@@soulrelaxlife720 ill be G. Guthrie Gutherson
You can always tell the sound of a vintage ES335. It has a ‘woody’ sound that the new ones don’t.
@@robm9460 i got a 'woody' hearing it
Lovely there is literally no end to music theory. Tones and progressions are amazing!! flowing smoothly with continuous melodic theory/patterns doors keep opening to possibilities with your videos . Thank you both!
Sure thing!
i cannot stop replaying this intro man ive been sitting here for 2 hours
Haha awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great lessons man ive made a huge discovery, subbed with notifications on ! Lol now onwards to glory 👍🏻😬
Learn:
1. Chord positions (CAGED)
2. Arpeggios for each position
3. Scales for each position
...so far so good 👌
Ben 4. Phrases, melodies and licks in each position
For sure!
Can we play the major scale of each chord of the same scale ? For example in a G major song with G C Am as chord : can we play the C major scale when the song is playing a C chord and A minor scale when playing over the Am ?
This lesson is killer. I think talking and playing during a lesson is just fine! This is what finally got the whole CAGED/modes thinking straight in my head.

How heart warming when the greatest players are real modest gentleman ,,loved this ! Papa always brings out the best in his guests ,great channel!
Thank ya! Glad you like the vids!
I’d love to spend a week with that dude! You’d learn sooo much
I did spend a week with him and it's crazy how much he knows on guitar!!!!!
I literally addicted this melody. Definitely mind melting solo Mr. Trapp
People don’t realize how important it is to think « soloing » this way... Great job guys.
Thanks for watching!
This man is effing gifted! Obviously, but such creative & natural phrasing & voice leading. It's easy to fall down the Guthrie Trapp rabbit hole
For sure.
Damn that first lick lay down, this dude is sick. This is a fantastic window into an amazing guitar mind, very educational if you are intermediate - advanced with guitar.
I gotta say this video is really awesome, it can take some work but I've got tired of just trying to solo over the root chord or the relative minor and always had trouble jumping from chord to cord while improvising a solo. This is very helpful for that.

papastache102 love that you respond to everything, your pink floyd tutorials have also helped me ALOT in the past and are some of my favorite videos!
Awesome! Thanks for checking them out! More Floyd coming soon!
I keep coming back just to listen to the intro and 6:32 - 6:44 part; Beautiful.
Guthrie is the man!
@@BrettPapa i cannot stop replaying this intro man
Best guitar lesson I’ve seen in a long time !!
Wow thanks! More with Guthrie coming soon!
7:33 - Can be treated as a backdoor dominant, a iv min6 or a ii m7b5 (D7, Am6 or F#m7b5). A melodic minor sounds great over that chord, and of course the F#m7b5 arpeggio sounds killer over the Am as well.
9:55 section is GOLD. Thanks so much for this!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
YES! Been looking forward to this. Guthrie Trapp is just so melodic. Pure 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up Brett and thank You!
No problem! Thanks for checking it out!
It's so good to look into the mind of great players. I'm going to need to watch this video multiple times to absorb the information. Thx Brett.
Thank you for your kindness to share your wisdom with us. Greetings from Tanzania East Africa
I will for the rest of my life refer to this video
What a beautiful touch! And I feel like most important rap here is what he says starting at 23:00 ... truth.
Thanks for checking it out!
Just working with Triads now and this was a great lesson! I knew there was music in them. Now I have a map! Thanks for the great lesson/video!
Sweet! Thanks for checking it out!
Love the little ditty at 6:33. Has a pedal steel vibe.
More Guthrie coming soon!
So worth the watch, as expected. Very inspiring. I’ll never forget the time Papa Took the time to comment on one of my videos many years ago. He’s an amazing and humble player. Loving this channel!

Awesome man! Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!
You had me hooked into this tune in the first 5 phrases, Guthrie
I keep telling kids that play Metal--
Phrasing not Notes ..!!
no one listens
Haha, they will learn, it comes with age. I was that kid for a long long time! Thanks for watching!
learning lead guitar in 1968, phrasing was all I had going for me ..
thanks to Michael Schenker ..
I had to up my blues phrasing in my teens to be a thrasher with phrases
Came up a metal shred guy- now I’m a blues phrasing guy!!!
While I agree with this statement, there are metal players out there that can shred AND still have great phrasing. Admittedly, they are few and far between but when I think of metal players with amazing phrasing, the first guy that comes to mind is Alex Skolnik. That guy can play a million miles but that doesn't make him a great player. What makes him a great player is he has a great melodic sensibility that is amazing to witness when combined with his amazing technique.
Your joy in seeing Guthrie play some of these licks is great...
Thanks for checking it out! He is always amazing to see play but then to be able to sit with him and have him break down his style was really great!
papastache102 I saw him play with Trigger Hippie....he filled in and it was their last show...More of a rock style than what you’d expect from him.....made me a fan....thanks again
This clip is just too funny. He's almost knocking Papastache out of his chair with his playing. Hard get more sweet and melodic than that and he makes it look super simple too ;) Great stuff!

These guy man. Where would my progress be without these guys and Paul and the Guru?
Lol! Well thanks for that!
The guitar sound gives me goosebumps, it's really nice to hear
Thanks for checking it out!
There are few people on RUclips that I love to watch and listen to play guitar, one is Tim Pierce and the other is Guthrie Trapp -- so fluid and everything seems effortless.
They are both great!
And thanks to you and Marty Schwartz for making all these great videos -- they really help a lot.
That duet just healed the soul .... Nashville always reminds me of SRV
There is something very special about how they play out there!

righteous tone!

Guthrie Trapp plays so melodically. Sounds great.
He is amazing!! Just spent a week with him. It was unreal! Videos coming soon!

Guthrie is the man!
Now, how awesome would it be to see Trapp and Price get together and bounce guitar playing techniques off of each other! I can only imagine. Thanks Papa! This was great!

More of the soloing over chord progressions please!!!!
More on the way! Thanks for watching!

I love this. Trying to steal as much as I can from this video!!! The phrasing is shall I say gorgeous.
Steal away, that’s what it’s for! Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Glad you like them! Thanks for checking them out!
This video is 27 minutes and my first 27 minutes was just watching the first minute 27 times
Haha!
Very good your friend in guitar!my congratulations
Yep Guthrie is the man!
Brett, your videos helped me out a lot then Guthrie opened my eyes to the CAGED system.
What a fantastic video guys.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for your time showing what you know. It helps a lot
Thanks for watching!
Right around 20:30 I was like hey that sounds very Cuban..... sure enough Guthrie ends up mentioning it. That minor to dominant sound with harmonic minor is so good.
Been playing 30 years, this lesson was gold, cheers
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
That is what teaching videos should be like. Great, great, great!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!
You and @martyschwartz are my favourite guitar tutors. I learned so much from you both. Rock on! Greetings from Scotland! 😜🏴🤘
The intro sounds amazing love the guitar
Melody is key! Such a great payer! Thanks for watching!
This is beautiful… I can listen to you two all day … and for you Guthrie I would like to take private lesson with you
Hit him up on his site I know he teaches privates.
Thanks Brett and Guthrie. This is a great lesson with great melodies.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Marty SCHWARTZ's playing has improved so much. Way to keep at it, Marty.

Thanks for watching Paulo!
The sweet lick they are talking about around 7:50 is a 7 b9 (top note goes from M3 to p5), that C note (b9) sounds so good.
Yes it does! Thanks for checking out the vid! More with Guthrie coming soon!
Brett- a breath of fresh air to watch you react to Guthrie’s wanderings... cool
Haha thanks!
What a 💎 to find, two years after it was posted!
I love that vid with Guthrie. That was our first lesson together. Man what a night after that filming session was done lol!! Good times!
I heard Guthrie in a bar in Nashville 10 years ago, inspired me to pick up guitar again ...
Yep, he has that effect on people!
Can't get enough of the beginning riff, so good
Bring Guthrie back for another lesson please!
It's being filmed tomorrow!
That opening lick!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yep Guthrie has about 12,000 of those under his fingers at all times.
Papa, Guthrie....i got it dudes...i watched this video a few times and up to last night it hit me man...its beautiful!
Thanks for checking us out!

Thanks, Brett.
Thanks! Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
That opening jam was fire!!
Thanks for checking it out!
This is killer!!!!!!!!!! So much info. Guthrie is a great teacher and Papa stache always asks the right questions.
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Guthrie is amazing! Getting together with him again soon!
This is great stuff. I hope to travel to Nashville this year. So many amazing musicians. Thanks for introducing me to Guthrie and Ford. I'm following their stuff now and loving it. Love your channel too Papa. I've learned so much from these videos on how to target notes over chords. Making big progress
Awesome! More from the both of them soon. We just wrapped up shooting Ford’s first product and it’s going to be great!
Nice catch Brett getting Guthrie on your RUclips video. One of a small group of fantastic pickers based out of Nashville.
Thanks! So glad he was up for it! I've been wanting to do it for a long time! More to come!
Trapp is amazing. One of the electric guitar musicians they'll still be playing in future centuries
He is awesome! Great dude too!
Thankyou ,,guys ,,72 and still learning
Sweet!
Guthrie you da MAN...what an awesome emotional solo
Yes he is! So freakin' good! You should have seen him before I pressed record haha! Terrifying!
I can imagine....you are great too, best teacher...learnt a lot during the years from you...many thanks and keep up your amazing work
Love that ES!!!!
Fantastic playing and explanation. I want to get good at this technique. You really have to think to play over chords like that. The challenge makes it fun. I think that's why we all like guitar. The challenge! Guthrie is a great guest to have at the 102!
Thanks for checking it out! He will be on in the future as well!
"I play in the Mixolydian Mode, because that's what people tell me I'm playing." 😂 That was awesome.
Lol!
Beautiful and melodic............really enjoyable..................Guthrie.......wont forget ya from this find..........
I still got the this video vew in 2023
Awesome!
