On the Record: Guthrie Trapp Interview

[@AP-ui7oi]

Guthrie is a world class musician and a good dude.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Definitely agree with that!

[@frankenzerillo8723]

Guthrie's message should be heard, people need to raise their self awareness and become respectful to others. Great interview, respect for this guy is constantly growing.

Great clip! I have a 60th Anniversary UK-built,; Hand-Wired Vox AC-15, and I love it! Great tones in your presentation, here!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thank you! That’s really cool about the hand-wired AC15, too! I actually borrowed this AC15C1 from a friend for this video, but I’ve wanted one like what you’ve got for a while!

Great interview with GT. Learning a lot from him. Thank you.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thanks so much for saying that, and thanks for watching the video! Guthrie was a blast to get to talk to - not to mention it was a ton of fun just hanging out and picking! Haha.

[@nedfarrell]

Watched from start to end. Loved every minute. Bonus ending! Thank you.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thank you! I’m really glad people are enjoying Guthrie’s interview! Not to be a sales person, but if you visit my channel I have more interviews like this with other fantastic guitar players. Thanks so much for watching!

[@trevormason3825]

Pop Country hurts me inside lol. I was born in 91 but was raised musically like I was born in the 60’s or 70’s and I’m thankful for it!

[@MrBluesmanJunior]

I'm halfway through this video but I had to pause to leave a comment - nice job, man! This is a great interview, with very well thought out and pointed questions. The information we get here is invaluable, and not available anywhere else. Thanks for doing this!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thanks so much! That’s an awesome compliment, and I really appreciate you saying that! I try to prepare questions for my interviews that I genuinely want to know the answers to, and I thought Guthrie’s honesty and willingness to answer questions really speaks to the type of genuine guy he is.

[@trevormason3825]

How am I just now discovering this channel?!?!?! Incredible! 🔥🔥🔥

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Haha. Thanks so much for saying that, and I’m glad you found the channel!

[@joeurbanowski321]

Great hearing about your take on the biz… and something you said,almost at the end, made me remember what Rick Beato said…” Thought destroys Flow”…! So true,man! Please keep em coming… very cool to “pick your brain” by way of these videos..

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thank you so much! I really loved that part of my talk with Guthrie as well - the over analysis of music killing the musicality. I’ll do my best to keep them coming!

[@carloswhomusic]

Great interview, thanks!

[@guitareveryone]

It's so interesting to hear Guthrie talk about growing up on very traditional music. It's exactly how I grew up only with even less musical education. My dad had nothing but one artist and 100% pure 3 chord yodelling cowboy songs. However I thing it really helps to learn things on your own with what you've got which for me was the major pentatonic scale and that was it. It's very inspiring to hear this coming from Guthrie who is clearly a superb musician. It gives some hope to a wannabe player like myself that being a better musician is possible. Great interview Cody.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

I like everything about this comment. Seriously. I agree that it was fantastic to hear Guthrie talk about the way he approaches music from a different perspective because of his upbringing. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Also, I’ve seen your videos - you’re not a wanna be!

[@TheFeelButton]

Great interview! Cheers Cody and Guthrie!!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thank you, and thanks for watching! Cheers right back at ya! Haha.

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

As one of GT'S students, I am one of the guys that joined him in the 2020 rush. Thanks for this interview

[@CodyJungGuitar]

That’s fantastic! I imagine you’re getting a lot out his lessons. Everyone I talk to who does his ArtistWorks program and takes lessons from him rave about how great of a teacher he is.

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

@@CodyJungGuitar yes, it's all true. He responds personally to my video submissions and gives pointers and recommendations. He the best instructor I've had, he is my third teacher.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

That’s so awesome to hear. I think he’s doing a lot of really cool things with his online instructional material, and it’s even cooler that he’s so involved with his students on a personal level.

[@collinsstudios7098]

It’s so interesting hearing Guthrie talk about how he didn’t grow up playing tons of songs and learning licks etc from recordings as that seems to be the route ALOT of players take to get to this level

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Very true on that last point. While there’s nothing wrong with the more normal or traditional way of learning, I think that’s what makes Guthrie a bit unique in both his approach to playing and his approach to teaching.

[@philandcatherinemuzio9476]

@@CodyJungGuitar what is the name of the tune you two played at the end of the interview? TIA

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Hey! It’s the old standard “Crazy Arms.”

[@philandcatherinemuzio9476]

@@CodyJungGuitar thank you

[@CodyJungGuitar]

No problem! It’s been stuck in my head ever since we played it, haha.

[@kendallfrombensoniteproduc7113]

Awesome interview. Makes me feel a little better about my playing always “sounding like me” 😄

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thanks! Also, I think if you have a sound that is you, that’s one of the coolest things. I’ve heard you play, and you’ve got a great sound!

[@susiewheeler8197]

God Bless you Guthrie

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@billm9580]

Great chat Guthrie ! Unfortunately the people who interrupt your conversations (at NAMM show) don’t even know what they’re doing, they have no concept of the meaning of the word “rude” Well done for holding back, best way to deal with it 😇😇

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Yeah, NAMM is such a strange place, isn’t it? There seems to be a suspension of certain common sense things in that type of environment. I’ve got to agree with you on that!

[@billm9580]

It’s not restricted to NAMM Cody 🤨, unfortunately people are just not good with certain social skills ! Well done on your interviews, enjoy watching them ✅

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Haha, you are right about that. NAMM certainly seems to amplify some things, but it does seem like social skills in general have diminished in recent years.

[@_s827]

oh hell yeah!!!!!!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

I thought so too! It was so great getting to hang out and talk with him!

[@Hexonip]

NOBODY"S PREGNANT! Hahah! You're my Spirit Animal, GT!!!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Haha! I loved that part. Guthrie has a great sense of humor - he’s a really fun guy. Thanks for watching.

[@carloswhomusic]

Musicians strive so hard for the praise of other musicians .... but their FANs aren't musicians, they're everyday people.

[@jarodpearcy9789]

What is up with his knees? Are they designer jeans? It's odd looking.

[@guitarz99]

the constant yup, ok , ya, uh huh , right, mm hmm, sure, every 3 seconds was a bit much, let the man speak
