- Here's a little video on what notes to focus on when starting and ending phrases. I'm using pentatonic and then adding some scale notes.

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
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.
Jcloughjnr thanks man!!
Another Guthrie vid already?Love it...in all seriousness this subject matter has been BEYOND helpful. Sincerely appreciate ur time.
Eric Antoszewski you’re welcome !!
your lessons are mind blowing, my playing is becoming so more melodic thanks to you
Capo on the 4th thanks so much man!!
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!
Carel Marsman Thank a lot man!!
These tutorials are essential for growth at any level!
James Robinson thanks a bunch man!!
Good stuff. I like your relaxed pace and how you start simple and build it up.
Oh Yeah? Thanks man!!
Good stuff! You’ve really help clear up my confusion around soloing. Thank you!
Sean Paul Thanks man!!!
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.
ian richardson thanks a ton man!!
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.
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.
Damn dude going back to an older video puts into perspective your hard work on your body. Keep it up man.
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.
Happy to help man!! Thanks for watching!
These lessons are pure gold thank you
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!
btlisenby thanks man!
Beautiful sound and great lesson. I like your pace too. Thanks Guthrie!
John Teichman Thanks man!!!
Not enough people break it down like this. Thank you
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.
Thanks a bunch man!!
Great Lesson Guthrie, always good stuff and easy to swallow.
Marsman thanks man!
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!
Joe K great! Thanks man!
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!
Bob Deskins thanks a bunch man!!
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
Love it that you are teaching scale degrees like that , im trying to catch on to it. Thanks!!
Jim Johnson Thanks man!!
Nice lesson again! Root -3-5 awesome! Thanks for sharing GT. Love your Tele.
Dave Massie thanks man!!
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 !!! 🎸👍👌🇺🇸✌️😎
VonBluesman ha!! Thanks man!! Happy to help!
Thanks for the tips man thanks
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
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!!
"I slipped in a little blues, I couldn't help it." Very nice...a lot of us can't help it either. Thanks!
RipVW68 thanks man!!
So melodic! Inspiring as hell dude, keep up the good work!
Thanks a ton man!! Will do!
Hey Guthrie,
Awesome Lesson!!
Thank you!!
Love Guitars thanks man!!
I am a recent sub.
I have found your lessons and style of teaching to be of tremendous value.
Thanks a ton.
Donald Butcher Thanks man!!
Love you're teaching style, approach and assortment of snappy hats😁
Thanks man!!
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.
Lance Cluff thanks so much man! Means a lot!! Happy to help.
Amazing lesson. Again.
myke232 thanks man!!!
Excellent! Great lesson!
Don McCown thanks man!
🤘😎🤘
Could listen to you talk about this all day brother !
Capt. J. Kirk 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
Guthrie thanks for bringing melody back to the game..blues is great...but mixing it up is way better..really enjoying these vids. Learned about you on Zac's TrueTone lounge.
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.
Great lesson Guthrie
Real good straight ahead easy to understand ideas
Thank you for another awesome lesson. Such a wealth of knowledge. A lot of Allman Bros things going on in there. Amazing!
These are REALLY helpful thank you
jordan74 thanks 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
b walt hey thanks a bunch man!! I will try to get to some songs soon.
Incredible lesson! Thank you for helping us make music! You rock, man
What are the chances that I found this video/your channel the very day I received my first Telecaster?! Beautiful lines and tasteful tone, sir. Consider me subscribed.
Horacio Montes Thanks man!
I actually get it! Thank you your the best!!
Bruce Rose great! Thanks man!
I am loving this, thanks Guthrie. My obituary might say guitarist yet. :)
Harley Cole Thanks man!!
Great lesson. Really appreciate what you do. Thanks! :)
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.
Quynh Nguyen Great man!! Thanks a bunch
Hey, I love love these lessons you've been putting up. Enjoyed the AWorks course too. Would you mind doing a video about getting tone? I know you keep your knobs all the way up and you talk about using the side of your pick in another video for example.
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!
John O'Mary Thanks a bunch man! Means a lot.
It sure is "workin' and makin' sense" to me!! Thank you, GT! "I just kept slippin' in a little blues, I couldn't help it!" That, too!
Pepe Roberto Thanks man!!
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.
Frame thanks a bunch man!!
I’m come so far since I found you! Thanks brother! My family thanks you too cause I sound so much better... lol I’m usually practicing around 5 am so they really thank you
Clinton Callaway Ha! Thanks man!!
wonderful stuff... if only i'd had this decades ago!!! lol? fer all you newbies... SLOW IS THE WAY TO GO.once you've got it THEN build it up to speed... ;'0D M
malcolmjohn wright thanks man!
u bet, @@guthrietrappmusic wonderful stuff like i said, i don't play guitar anymore(injuries and such) but i find myself applying it to my Mando playing- scales and double stops and such, it's really helped me grasp the Mando neck better! thank you fer all you are doing in the sharing of your abilities, and what you've learned!!!
;'0)

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!! :)
Diggin' the Rap from Guthrie Trapp!! *lol* If I would have had Guthrie when I started learning to play guitar in 1973, I'd probably suck a lot less!! Seriously though, it's like I finally discovered *"the big secret"* when I started listening to Guthrie. How can you argue with a guy that can play like that? Exactly, you can't!! Also, Guthrie's *'ArtistWorks.com'* course is highly recommended. I caught it on sale and paid literally pennies-on-the-dollar of what I would have paid a private instructor for lessons, and no other instructor would be at Guthrie's performance level, obviously.
Escape the Matrix wow! Thanks a ton man! Happy to help.
Keep them coming. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for all your hard work it is much appreciated.
Jeremi Russell Thanks man!!
Bloody ell !! Another gorgeous guitar
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! 🙏🏻🤘🏻👍🏻🔥🎸
Thanks a bunch man!! Happy to help!
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 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.
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.
David Bennett thanks man!!
Guthrie you are great my friend...When I come to Nashville Dinner is on me....
Great work, thanks.
You are great sir!
Now I'm curious about how you would approach mixing the major and minor scales into this concept of chord mapping and note targeting. Thanks, GT!
Judson Moore thanks for watching!
Watch all you video's, you are good bro..
Love your guitar ☺ great lesson. Please demonstrate a chord progression, using the same approach. Thank you.
Simao Garcia will do! Thanks man!
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.

Thanks for watching!!
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 thanks man!!
+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.
Love you man.. I can follow you until you go Guthrie on me.. but feels great knowing where I can go with it.. and I appreciate your patience... I found the perfect little practice amp for your lessons.. it’s the boss katana air.. I can have your lessons playing through the Bluetooth feature while I play along
Thanks a ton man!!
Tele tone so sweet the lesson plays like music...
...and BTW, you don't need a backing trac as I think you've come to find.
cheers
Thanks so much bro I'm getting so much out of your lessons.
Jeremy Gayness thanks man!!
Well, I can tell that you received my email message. ;-) Good lesson. Bottom line... Know your intervals!
Doug Moore thanks man!!
Thanks a bunch! I just learned how to play "Cherokee Shuffle" a different way because of this video. I love what your doing here! Great video
David guitar madman awesome!! Thanks man!
@@guthrietrappmusic thanks for replying! I really like your channel and the way you play...it's something I find myself looking forward to!
Ugh! Out of town without my guitar... Still locking away these little gems for later.
SkyScraper Guitars great! Thanks man!
awesome bro keep it up
Thanks so much Guthrie. The way you break this down makes so much sense. Keep them coming !
Chris ODowd Greta man! Thanks!
Fantastic!!! Thank you!
44scoots thanks man!
Great lesson. May I suggest you tighten the angle so the top of the frame is your eyebrows? It will make the fretboard more visible and also make sure the focus is targeted there. Also, because the RUclips player is so clumsy for precise backwards and forwards searching would you do one pass even slower of the more complicated runs? Thanks.
Ed Warschilka hey man. Thanks for watching. These are quick free lessons filmed on my iPhone. For more detail feel free to book a private lesson with me. That if part of how I make my living! Thanks again! GT
You are killing it with the new videos.
Dave Ryan thanks man!!
@guthrie trapp thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge w/ us mere mortals. These lessons have been a huge help. What brand of medium picks are you using? You get a nice round tone.
P_Lawls thanks a bunch man!! I use Fender style medium picks and I use the round shoulder edge of the pick. Not the normal pointy side. D’Addario makes good medium picks also. Just don’t want a sharp pressed edge.
Really good useful stuff.. as always ❤🎉
“ 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!
do you work from the cages system? am in between learning that and individual arpeggios and scales. want to get better at improvising with chord tones that may be outside of the scale to add more flavour rather than just notes from the pentatonics! agh
Yes! CAGED system BUT its all related. The chord is the foundation then the rest ..
Once again, right on time. Great lesson!! I'm looking for some guidence on scale tones to link the chord tones other than pentatonics
Jorey Reitman Thanks man!
thank you
Thanks for all the great tips, this has been super helpful! Also, you may consider using a looper pedal to give folks the chords behind these leads. I know for me, that would help me hear the changes better and better wrap my brain around it! Thanks!
Jake Cannon thanks for watching!!
Question: when targeting 1,3,5 - is that 1,3,5 of key or chord being played?
Chord fits best but sometmes the 3 is a Bit much tension like at the 5 chord
Another great lesson. Thank you very much!
John Simmons great! Thanks man!
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!!
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!
thanks for this lesson it helped me a lot... this definitely deserves the bell ❤
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.
Daniel Doke thanks man!! Happy to help!
Thanks Guthrie for another great video. Would love to come to Nashville and have a private lesson sometime. A quick question if you have time. You are floating between C scale and G scale (the 1 and the 5) Could you also use E scale since it is the 3rd?..or am I way off base? Thanks man!
David M thanks a bunch man! Anytime. I’d be happy to do a lesson here. The scale you use is determined by the chord being played underneath it. The chord is the tonal backdrop for everything. The 3 has no bearing on the scale. I can get this all straightened out for you! G
@@guthrietrappmusic Thanks man!
Hi Guthrie, whats the best place to buy your albums? You site or elsewhere? Got to get you music in my ears on a more regular basis.
Tony Leary thanks man!! My website has the info for everything I do. Thanks again!! G
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 :)
Ann Duguay Glad to hear that! Thanks man!!
thanks Guthrie,just subscribed,love that tele,great lesson.
Rick Moore thanks a bunch!!
love the lessons! 10k subscribers right around the corner!
Tony Sink thanks man! 👍😎🎶
I LOVE THIS STUFF, Especially the 'I'm a little off program but I'll be back..!' Go GT !! more pls.
Steve Nelson thanks man!!!
Great lesson sir . I certainly hope you keep the lights on for a long time.
Turkee G ha! Thanks man! Me too!
