Hey friends! Thanks so much for all the positive feedback. More to come in the next few days! I will say that doing these videos and having to break down what I’m doing is making me a better player also. Practicing and listening more and focusing. So we are all in this together!! Thanks again! GT
Never apologize for a sales pitch. Never. I’ve heard you say a lot over the years that you aren’t really a “schooled” musician and that may be so. But, I think that’s why the lessons you put out can be grasped by the majority of players out there. Glad to see you getting your name out there finally. Keep it up brother!
Reporting back after spending a few hours rewatching this and putting it under my finger tips and this video has changed my life. Completely changed the way I view phrasing. Absolutely amazing stuff.
Great stuff! I've been playing for 40 years, and as much as I appreciate these videos, I hear a lot of people saying, people don't want to learn licks, they don't need to learn licks, they need to learn theory. But there are a million videos teaching Target notes, chord tones, what scales to use Etc. I have gotten so much mileage out of a good lick, applying it to whatever key I'm in, stringing licks together to make awesome solos. I wish the great players like you Guthrie would start to make videos where you show us some great licks that we can string together to create cool solos. Just look at the millions of views on RUclips videos that have titles like 100 great Rock riffs or Blues riffs or country riffs or licks. People can know all the theory in the world and still not create a great lick. Having an Arsenal full of awesome riffs is worth a million bucks. Think about it, children don't learn to speak by their parents explaining the theory behind grammar to them, they learn to speak by copying phrases, licks as it were. Are you hungry? It's time for bed. Do you want to play a game? These are "licks" that children copy and use in their own personal vocabulary. As time goes on they learn to string those licks together to create full sentences and stories. We have tons of RUclips videos on the ABCs (music Theory) but not enough on phrases (licks) that we can copy into our own vocabulary. I would love to see videos entitled 25 great country licks that you can use. ruclips.net/video/k2uiJXN3L6E/видео.html ruclips.net/video/RVNzfLutB7I/видео.html
Once again, thank you Guthrie. I don't know how you're timing it so we'll, good teaching I guess. The last few videos you've put out have been perfect for where I am and what I'm working on. Ever since I discovered chord shapes, and then Papa introduced me to you, I've had Ah Ha moments, back to back. I've literally watched hundreds of videos, from dozen of online teachers. There's only a handful of guys focusing on this, and thankfully, here you come out of nowhere. I learn more in the 15+ minutes on your channel, on actually applying all the information I'm trying to absorb, than ANY other channel.
Sweet...Really useful lesson because so many people go wrong here. And so many beginners ask where do i start? But not thinking about where to end. So you can continue on..or the song..Ends. Which is why it's called phrasing..like reading a book. Root 3rd and 5th of the chord are always good notes to emphasise and resolve to. People get so sick of me banging on about intervals, but that's what this is, knowing your intervals and which is which.Chords, scales, solos, rhythm...intervals. Not just the distance between two notes, but also the time between two notes...rhythm.
You're welcome Guthrie,And thanks for taking the time to reply. There is an excellent guy on youtube and he says music is the sound of math..Brilliant..because it is if you think about it. We number "degrees" of the scale, we talk about roots/1sts..3rds..5ths etc,we add 7ths..etc. Formulas to create Major scales, minor scales, modes. We create scale patterns which are basically geometric shapes or patterns as are chords.We count from this note to that note..chord progressions..and so on. All of which creates intervals..it's all intervalic..scales, chords etc all made up of intervals. Intervals are the mechanics of music. How many people are stumped trying to understand the circle of 4ths and 5ths or modes? If you understand your intervals you already know most of it. In this video most of what you're saying is simply intervals and understanding how they work. Music theory is easier to learn because it's based on intervals. We all know that music theory is a bottomless pit, if you want to go deep into it. But for most a solid grounding in basic theory is all you really need. There's plenty of time to go deeper if you want later. Quite honestly i'd rather play the thing than spend god knows how long delving into the deepest recesses of all that theory. And in reality most players are pretty much using basic theory most of the time any way.
The text book definition of pure. Guitar. Amp. Fingers. And this particular concept of knowing where to start and end a phrase is invaluable! Thank you so much for helping us make better music! 🙏🏻🤘🏻👍🏻🔥🎸
Precisely the lesson I need right now! Been working hard on all the chord shapes, scales, triads etc. feels like progress everyday, way to fun. Thank you GT, big fan in Sf Bay area
Thanks again for taking the time to share with your friends and followers. I now approach the guitar fretboard in a different way and feel more confident that I can progress and achieve what I hoped I would achieve.
You crack me up man, when you paint yourself into a corner it turns out there's a nice doorway there after all. Situational awareness, it's what we're all trying for, but you have a nice grasp of it. Thank you for the lesson
Jerry Wilson Thanks man!! It happens for sure. Just have to hear what could be next. A good excercise is picking a key and randomly hitting a note and having to connect it to something that works.
Yea me too , i think this is the meat n potatoes for aspiring lead players. Learning how to use the major third as well as the tonic was a revelation for myself. I sounded like crap when i played minor pentatonic exclusively
Mate.. you really are awesome.. picked up my guitar again after a massive hiatus but in that limbo stage of not where to go and seeing your stuff is giving things so much clarity.. Are you're way too humble which is amazing in itself. Love your work.
Guthrie - Can't thank you enough for these lessons. I'm still working my way through your beginners course over at ArtistWorks. And these extra lessons are of huge help. Keep 'em coming!
You make the CAGED system really musical and alive for me. Thanks very much Guthrie! The idea of bringing in backing tracks sounds good to me. Enjoy your diner and the wine!
I'm a big fan of melodic runs that bring emotion to a song. This lesson helps immensely and highlights the value of knowing all the major scale notes in a position.
Guthrie, thank you so much for these lessons. I like the way you teach and you bring everything together. After endless noodling with pentatonic, I start to see the fretboard in a new way and bring out the chord changes. God bless you.
As you stated, regardless of how many years experience there is always something to learn even if it is only a "tidbit." Those tidbits make you a better player. Keep on keepin' on Brother.
Yes! The next chapter in my improvisation class has arrived! Really love these, Guthrie. Thank you for sharing with us! I'm going to go explain to my wife how I NEED a tele.
+Robin Sarac *EVERYONE* needs a Tele!! *lol* Seriously, I bought a '92 American Telecaster new, I bought a Japanese Tele new, and I just bought a Squier (Chinese) 'Classic Vibe' Butterscotch Telecaster *(for $399.99),* and the Squier is the guitar I grab EVERY TIME!! They're that good!! Checkout some reviews on it, if you're on a budget, or if you aren't. I'm getting ready to buy a second one, just because.... *WHY NOT?!* lol Mine did have a little "fret sprout," was in SERIOUS need of a setup, which I expected, and the nut holding the instrument cable jack in place was loose, but all things considered, quality-per-dollar, I believe it was the best guitar purchase I've ever made.
Thanks Guthrie this is a game changer, after playing scales for a number of years and having the physical ability to play them well , I now have a different thought process on how to create music and to makes sense of what I’m doing. Thanks 🙏
Another great one! Many instructors out there focus so much on using the “1” as the target note. Your incorporation of the 3 and 5 has really opened things up for me. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Guthrie. Like most learning to play from internet tutorials I move around a bit, but I always end up coming back to you. I've learnt the most, by far, from you. You've got a great teaching style, relaxed, nothings too fast or the steps aren't too big, each time I take a little something. I'll never be a great player, but it's making me a better player and it means I can enjoy playing so much more, I'm sure many others are getting this to, so again many thanks.
I admit I have had to watch this a few times to really try to digest some of the concepts and wrap my mind around them but just like all of your recent videos there a real wealth of knowledge in this one. Continued thanks my friend. I want a lesson badly but I am having to save my pennies. I promise I will buy one from you soon.
This was really helpful for me Guthrie, thank you. You point out stuff that seems obvious after you say it. Its encouraging for someone like me to know that someone like you starts his thinking off of pretty uncomplicated chords and scales.
Whatever "it" is you have it in spades. The tone and dynamics from your fingers is off the charts. You can make the simplest phrase sound like a musical masterpiece. Pretty basic stuff but you make it sound incredible.
Awesome job Guthrie! I found you a few months ago via Brett Pappa. I am an intermediate player trying to get over a huge hump of getting all my scales/fretboard notes/pentatonic's and CAGED knowledge transform into musicality. Your teachings challenge me to practice and grow into a better guitarist. Thank you, TY, Thank You! Keep the videos coming, you got me hooked.
Thanks so much Guthrie!! This is exactly what I need.. I've been stuck in a rut and you've just opened up a whole new world for me. Much appreciated :)
really getting a lot out of these videos Gutherie - thanks - your playing is clearly so accomplished and now your teaching is really enjoyable and helpful too - great work
I'm lovin' the videos Guthrie - thanks for taking the time to make them. I've been playing for a while, but you are really helping me connect a bunch of things I've learned in the past, but have struggled to bring together. Sincerely thankful.
Thanks a ton Guthrie. I really appreciate all you’re doing across so many platforms. Great ideas with these target notes. This is soo right where I’m at right now. This will provide hours of noodling fun!
Dearest Guthrie, here in Greece its 6am and I’m getting ready for work. Starting it with your guitar tips is a good start! Have a fantastic weekend. I’ll be gigging tonight using backing tracks so that will be interesting. Although I prefer playing with people! Take care!
Great information and demonstration. You explain stuff real well without getting too technical like a lot of other guys do. I learned how to play by listening to records and tapes, so it was years before I learned anything about theory. Thanks for posting this one.
excellent lesson Guthrie! I think I can start finding my way out of the corner with this helpful video. This is by far the best approach at explaining how to land on the proper notes ... very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!
I have recently started mixing minor pentatonic, major scale, and chords arpeggios to expand my music “vocabulary”. I know a bit of theory so it’s all starting to come together. This lesson is very timely for me. Subscribed. Now To add you on Instagram...thank you!
Don, it's amazing isn't it? So many of us are right where you are, and if you're like me, I've been stuck there for over a decade. There's very few teachers teaching this, like it's a secret, to put it all together. When I first saw Guthrie, I was like, "man I really hope he does more lessons and expands on these ideas. I've been searching for a long time. And my prayers were answered. Spread the word, let's help grow Guthrie's channel and encourage him to continue to inspire us all. Thanks Guthrie. Don, keep it up man!
Thank you so much for sharing all these valuable lessons ! I been looking for information like these for a long time ! I think a lot of lessons like this are not free for us, still you take your time and slow it down to explain to us ! My hat's off to you !
“ I got a little off the radar there. Mixed in a little blues.....I couldn’t help it.” Lol Again. Thanks so much for the free lesson. Loving this content. So much in there to digest and explore! So good. Concise. And directly to the point. Start and stop on the I-iii-Iv. Rest is accent and color. Free to explore, but come back to home base.
Really enjoying your lessons on ArtistWorks. You are busier than a one handed banjo picker. LOL 😂 Get it while the gettin is good !!! Thanks Guthrie and take care !!! 🎸👍👌🇺🇸✌️😎
I like the improv explanations! You really help me to understand how you're trying to map out where you wanna go beforehand (but in an improvvy kinda way)..unlike many of the overproduced overvideo'd demonstrations, whereby the point of feel may be lost to oversimplification of "how to" gimmes on every angle of the dangle . Kinda reminds me of ole Danny Gatton instructional video approach, but don't get the big head! jk..lol You help to keep things on track mentally, so to speak (insert joke here)...but the mental is the most important part beyond the muscle memory! That's where other videos lose touch...Your videos are on point...Much kudos and future successes!
Guthrie man, another very cool, helpful lesson! That awesome lick 5 minutes in, the knopfler/gill bend was so awesome, GREAT knowledge sir......thank u seriously for sharing your skills man!👊👊
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. Could you make a video on exercises/practice that helped you ingrain this chord tone stuff into your playing? I'm working on triads at the moment and it's really helpful but I'd love to know some of the stuff you practiced on your way to getting where you are today. Again, thank you, favourite teacher on RUclips!
MrZombieCake Thanks man!! You’re doing it right. It just takes time to see it and for it to really click. The triads allow you to see and simplify the inversions and the 1, 3, 5 of the major chord.
Outstanding man always, awesome teacher and player. It's hard to find that combination with such willingness to share -- thanks so much, have learned so much from you from your youtube videos, will sign up for your artist works series as soon as I can afford it! Absolutely one of my favorite players
+JazzTele Hey man, in case you don't know, ArtistWorks runs sales. I got Guthrie's course during Thanksgiving, and it was like 40% off!! I believe it even went to 50% during Christmas. Even at full price though, *it's still a bargain!!*
@@MyTube4Utoo Thanks so much for that info, I sure am grateful. Went through cancer and divorce so that sure set me back, but always love playing and working to get better. Much appreciated man!
@@JazzStrat781 You're very welcome. Sorry life has been throwing so much bad stuff at you, but it sounds like you're still trucking on!! Great to see you haven't given-up on guitar/music, and that you know about, in my opinion, the best player around - Guthrie Trapp!! Good Luck!!
It's getting redundant, but THANKS again!! Super generous of you to take the time to share your gift with the commoners...especially with wine waiting! So glad Brett " internet introduced" us. Take care. JT
Chris Stapleton must have taken a lesson from you. His solo on Tennessee Whiskey is a great example of what you’re teaching. This is also great to connect these ideas in each position to make them fluid. Great stuff man.
Guthrie, Thanks for posting the lessons. They have been a life saver. Class act hands down. I have a request.....sometime in the near future, can you break down Patricia? Awesome song, great performance. Thanks
Hey friends! Thanks so much for all the positive feedback. More to come in the next few days! I will say that doing these videos and having to break down what I’m doing is making me a better player also. Practicing and listening more and focusing. So we are all in this together!! Thanks again! GT

this is the best i've seen this explained -- building up from something simple and really emphasizing the phrasing landing on 1,3,5. thank you!
dan dube so glad man!! I’m trying to really simplify it
I agree completely!!
Me too , its nice when its simple and instantly useable, made a difference overnight for me. Its like guthrie turned the lights on
Me three
Instantly some of the best instructional material on youtube. Thanks Guthrie!!

One of the best teachers on RUclips without a doubt. Keep the good work up and thank you! 👍
I get something new out of these videos everytime. And I've watched them a bunch. Thanks man.

Yea me too , i think this is the meat n potatoes for aspiring lead players. Learning how to use the major third as well as the tonic was a revelation for myself. I sounded like crap when i played minor pentatonic exclusively

I have recently started mixing minor pentatonic, major scale, and chords arpeggios to expand my music “vocabulary”. I know a bit of theory so it’s all starting to come together. This lesson is very timely for me. Subscribed. Now To add you on Instagram...thank you!
Don, it's amazing isn't it? So many of us are right where you are, and if you're like me, I've been stuck there for over a decade. There's very few teachers teaching this, like it's a secret, to put it all together. When I first saw Guthrie, I was like, "man I really hope he does more lessons and expands on these ideas. I've been searching for a long time. And my prayers were answered. Spread the word, let's help grow Guthrie's channel and encourage him to continue to inspire us all. Thanks Guthrie. Don, keep it up man!
Don Ammann thanks man!! Happy to help!
Great lesson, as always. Your playing is so smooth, truly magnificent. Great lesson on how to target notes to create good phrasing.
sagig72 great man!! Thanks
Thanks so much bro I'm getting so much out of your lessons.
Jeremy Gayness thanks man!!
"I slipped in a little blues, I couldn't help it." Very nice...a lot of us can't help it either. Thanks!

Callan Turner Thanks man!
Thank you so much for sharing all these valuable lessons ! I been looking for information like these for a long time ! I think a lot of lessons like this are not free for us, still you take your time and slow it down to explain to us ! My hat's off to you !
Thanks a bunch man!!
Amazing lesson. Again.
myke232 thanks man!!!
Inspirational as always thanks for all the lessons
david madle Thanks man!!
“ I got a little off the radar there. Mixed in a little blues.....I couldn’t help it.” Lol
Again. Thanks so much for the free lesson. Loving this content. So much in there to digest and explore!
So good. Concise. And directly to the point. Start and stop on the I-iii-Iv. Rest is accent and color. Free to explore, but come back to home base.
Kevin May thanks man!! Ha!

I remember sitting on the floor watching you play at NAMM when you were there with Gretsch/Joe Carducci. Great stuff as always!
Keith Gillum Thanks man!!
Incredible lesson! Thank you for helping us make music! You rock, man
I like the improv explanations! You really help me to understand how you're trying to map out where you wanna go beforehand (but in an improvvy kinda way)..unlike many of the overproduced overvideo'd demonstrations, whereby the point of feel may be lost to oversimplification of "how to" gimmes on every angle of the dangle . Kinda reminds me of ole Danny Gatton instructional video approach, but don't get the big head! jk..lol You help to keep things on track mentally, so to speak (insert joke here)...but the mental is the most important part beyond the muscle memory! That's where other videos lose touch...Your videos are on point...Much kudos and future successes!
Luvd0g Thanks a ton man!! One of my faves - Angle of the dangle! Ha! Thanks again man!
@@guthrietrappmusic Ha Ha!! Yeah man, Thanks to you too for keepin the soul in the strings and helping others to do the same!! :)
Guthrie man, another very cool, helpful lesson! That awesome lick 5 minutes in, the knopfler/gill bend was so awesome, GREAT knowledge sir......thank u seriously for sharing your skills man!👊👊
Marty Rosser Thanks man!! Happy to help.
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. Could you make a video on exercises/practice that helped you ingrain this chord tone stuff into your playing? I'm working on triads at the moment and it's really helpful but I'd love to know some of the stuff you practiced on your way to getting where you are today. Again, thank you, favourite teacher on RUclips!
MrZombieCake Thanks man!! You’re doing it right. It just takes time to see it and for it to really click. The triads allow you to see and simplify the inversions and the 1, 3, 5 of the major chord.
Outstanding man always, awesome teacher and player. It's hard to find that combination with such willingness to share -- thanks so much, have learned so much from you from your youtube videos, will sign up for your artist works series as soon as I can afford it! Absolutely one of my favorite players
JazzTele thanks so much man!!
+JazzTele Hey man, in case you don't know, ArtistWorks runs sales. I got Guthrie's course during Thanksgiving, and it was like 40% off!! I believe it even went to 50% during Christmas. Even at full price though, *it's still a bargain!!*
@@MyTube4Utoo Thanks so much for that info, I sure am grateful. Went through cancer and divorce so that sure set me back, but always love playing and working to get better. Much appreciated man!
@@JazzStrat781 You're very welcome. Sorry life has been throwing so much bad stuff at you, but it sounds like you're still trucking on!! Great to see you haven't given-up on guitar/music, and that you know about, in my opinion, the best player around - Guthrie Trapp!! Good Luck!!
@@MyTube4Utoo Thanks for the kind words, I'm thankful to be alive and be able to play still, always something to be grateful for. Best to you man
Thank you for another awesome lesson. Such a wealth of knowledge. A lot of Allman Bros things going on in there. Amazing!
thanks Guthrie,just subscribed,love that tele,great lesson.
Rick Moore thanks a bunch!!
thanks for this lesson it helped me a lot... this definitely deserves the bell ❤
Another great lesson. Thank you very much!
John Simmons great! Thanks man!
Very good. Nice examples to demonstrate the concept and targeting.
It's getting redundant, but THANKS again!! Super generous of you to take the time to share your gift with the commoners...especially with wine waiting! So glad Brett " internet introduced" us. Take care. JT
jtool2288 thanks so much!! Happy to help.
But redundancy is good. More examples the better.
Chris Stapleton must have taken a lesson from you. His solo on Tennessee Whiskey is a great example of what you’re teaching. This is also great to connect these ideas in each position to make them fluid. Great stuff man.
Joe Hernandez thanks man!! He’s a buddy, but learned that on his own!
These are REALLY helpful thank you
jordan74 thanks man!!
No need to apologize for you doing your life work Guthrie
Jim
