An Amazing Way To Practice Guitar That Yields Real Results.. Fast!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

No extra charge for mistakes here! This is AMAZING practice and not easy. I’m playing A to C then D. Treating each one as a Dom7 vibe. Hope y’all dig it!

[@Stereostupid]

Some real Danny Gatton 🔥 heat going on down here !

[@Stereostupid]

Hey Guthrie I was wondering if you could fire up that little Vox SuperBeatle you have one day?!it's always sitting right there in background I don't know where it went!

[@keeponrockin62]

yeah man!!

[@ebeep]

Indeed! It's about being able to play to someone else's time instead of our own.

[@terrysmith4889]

WOoooooo TAGGART!!!

[@TheGeniuschrist]

The 16 year old kid who just won the fingerstyle competition (that I lost) said he was about to take Guthrie's 'camp'. I was jealous.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

I love that you understand that not all of us can become pro level musicians (not all of us want to). I just want to get a tad bit better than I was last week. Until I die...

[@tomcoryell]

I hear ya brother!

[@martynspooner5822]

Great comment and with you all the way. Every time I have a little improvement it is such a buzz even knowing I am not going to get anywhere near the level of the people I watch like GT.

[@stevewilson7915]

My knees hurt too, I agree, I just want to get a bit better than yesterday, until my knee surgery or I die, whatever comes first. Hahahaha 😂🤣 take care Buddy

[@jasondarling]

The fretting hand gets all the glory but the picking hand is making it happen!

[@jeffreyvanhorn1996]

This is simply bad-ass playing. Astonishingly great. Can’t stop listening to it. I didn’t learn a lot from this, but it definitely inspired me to put more hours in and do the work. No shortcuts. Thank you for your time and inspiration GT, it really helps! You make us WANT to get better.

[@barruzza]

Dont sell yourself short. You're a master of the instrument.

[@Adam-em9rg]

This guy has made more impact on my playing then any KZbinr ever so far.

[@divadgnol67]

As an old man / young guitarist. I think I've been around the block a few times and it is so refreshing to hear and see someone speak so transparently, brutally honest, down to earth, fill in your own kiss ass statement here. I'm glad there's people like you Guthrie

[@majikmuzik8036]

"Talk about a tangent!" Thank you GT. You always bring a smile to me.

[@jimsmith528]

" talk about a tangent" ha ha . You are a great player man...love when you just let it go

[@camerontremayne]

So amazing that a great player like yourself shows us that practice is still essential, at all levels and that knowledge is better shared than hoarded. Someone else may have said this before me in these comments, good for them! You need to hear the positive messages, regularly. Have a good one....

[@MattHartung-ie8et]

"Your metronome is not running out of batteries" 😂 great line GT.

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

I like using EZ Drummer for this kind of practicing. Super easy, lots of beats/styles available, sounds great, I can change the tempo, etc. It doesn't sound as good as when you do it though 😅 That intro was great - I'll be borrowing a few thing from that!

[@brecknichols]

Wow, this is so amazing. I just saw an interview only one hour ago with Allie Stuckey and Dennis Quaid. I didn't even know he played music. He mentioned the Opry. And now I hear you're backing him up??? Crazy!! I just subscribed and "liked". Nothing like a Tele!

[@seankenny5329]

An absolute joy to watch ..... so many guitarists bore me after a while (as great as they may be) but this guy is a real pleasure ..... I haven't spent SO much time watching videos in a long time. Makes me want to pick up the guitar even though I know in 100 lifetimes I'll never get anywhere near this ...... he makes it look so easy and fun. Great stuff Guthrie

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Super simple drum backing track is SO much better than a metronome clicking away at my ear hole. Great video!

[@bluzzjazz]

Guthrie= A man in complete control and in unison with the fretboard of the guitar. Oh, and he is also a human metronome!

[@JonTorrence]

Yessir! Elevated Jam Tracks is an amazing KZbin channel that has killer tools and resources for musicians!

[@gabrieleguidoni2867]

GUUUUUTHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...... LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@JayRod50]

U are such an amazing player man. Lot of work went into those hands

[@tomcoryell]

I opened a festival that Los Lobos headlined. It absolutely KILLED me that I had another gig that night and couldn’t stay for Los Lobos. Thanks GT! You da man!

[@rstats2127]

As Uncle Larry said, you have to have a passion for it and if you don’t you won’t pick up the guitar and practice. Some of us it’s a hobby which is great and others it’s an obsession.

[@phillipliberty3997]

Excellent!! You remind me of Roy Clark! Like you say, this as nothing to do with genre, straight knowledge, please keep doing what you do!! This stuff really helps!!

[@markpell8979]

Shades of Kenny Vaughan on the play-in, Guthrie! Of course you know that's a high compliment.

[@edwinwoods8294]

holy fk ..that intro is so awesome .. I aspire to play like that ..

[@edwinwoods8294]

hi are you serious.. I religiously watch you,, I Have 3 kids and a divorce .. so money is tight but I plan to grab some lessons

[@songnotes]

Here's the backing track he's using at the start of the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGPaY6SYecSXh5o

[@joemanez5290]

Not sure if someone already got this out there, but the reason your bass track is off is latency-the time it takes to process the signal. There’s a definitely a way to set that in your software so that when you record, it’s tracking in time.

[@rigmormortis164]

GT..you could easily kill me with your six strings,10 fingers,and a pice of wood,and a tone that are born in The twilight zone..cause every time i hear you play..ihold my breath, 😅😅,dont no why,but i do//love and respect from sweden🇸🇪

[@richardclark.]

I certainly do need some practicing tips. If I slow down for a minute GT is going to be better than me.

[@MrAOdom1966]

That intro was an amazing jam

[@jwuman]

Great advice GT...never enough hours in the day to do everything...but the bits and pieces sessions add up and the content you provide is gold for turbo charging your skills..appreciate you man!!!

[@mdub1762]

This is what most instructors and great players never really talk about! Hard work! Dedication and efficient practice.. Amen ! G -- want some private lessons hit me up when your free..Marc. Great work

[@islandlightphotodotcom7162]

Yeah awesome tones ...u make it look soooo easy... slick as a slug in the rain... I'm 63 got my 1st... time to play catchup, lol, yeah right.

[@MichaelAntus]

Always interesting. Never boring. Thanks again Guthrie...

[@danielvelazquez18]

beastly intro, thanks GT

[@davidsummerville351]

Really enjoyed the intro. 😎🤓

[@johnvansmirren8626]

Love this. There is so much in it, gives me a lot to practise. Thanks GT!

[@RileyFaschoway]

GT YOU ARE A GUITAR GOD LOL that solo at the beginning was insane lol loved it man!! Whole video was awesome 🤘🏻

[@paulmcconnon7596]

Guthrie, all the gear in the world will not make someone a better player, it might inspire you yeah but I think it all boils down to your hands and what you do with them. You to me are an inspirational guitar player.❤

[@tomcoryell]

Practice and then practice some more….

[@kevinkrause7900]

Watching you hybrid pick makes my brain freeze up and now I immediately want to quit trying to play guitar.

[@dejaliloquy]

your tangents are very inspiring!

[@scottlance2447]

Dude you’re an alien. My guitar won’t do that

[@garygordon8660]

Guthrie Thank You Wow Little Lisa Jane Never sounded So Good

[@tracyredding307]

Glad you had some quality GT relax time.

[@MrSh8ky]

There’s a perfect example of the 10,000+ hours right there in that Intro…everyone needs to read “OUTLIERS” by Malcom Gladwell…Do yourselves a favour. Great lesson Mr. Trapp. Cheers Marty from Melbourne 🇦🇺

[@encoreunefois1X]

Bloody hell! Took me all of 11 seconds to subscribe.

[@andrewelstein4852]

OMG that was amazing! You are sooo talented!

[@VonBluesman]

Glad y’all had a great time at the Folk Festival. I love Los Lobos, they are always so chill and laidback. David Hidalgo will go by Norman’s Rare Guitars every once in a while and be in a short video. 🎸😎✌️

[@aricenciso459]

Once again… inspired. Packing up my 4 month old boy and heading to my music room to jam!!

[@GaryKissinger]

Man, aside of being a spectacular player you are a very very natural human, and I really love that about your presentations. The spontaneous approach is fresh, and many times humorous in the very best of ways. Please keep 'doing you'. From Hawaii----Aloha.

[@user-jh7ki9sn5h]

Man that barnburner in the beginning was sick.. I really gotta get into chicken picking. That's the kinda stuff that gives me a whole different outlook on you country guys. Thats talent and nobody can deny regardless of your genre of choice. I was just starting to think I was a decent guitarist and you go and do something like THAT? !! IM NOT WORTHY!!!😂😂😂

[@jamesfurr3346]

Los Lobos! Hell Yeah! I’ve seen them a bunch of times & they always blow the roof off 😊

[@EdgarBeja]

Wow!! Incredible playing, feel and knowledge! Thank you for sharing! 😎👍

[@tracyredding307]

WOW you are not living it big, you have entered epic territory

[@michaelnatoli5669]

Along with Zac, your channel is superb. From a California country kid, I complement the excellent work!

[@steve6465]

Love your videos, Guthrie. I learn so much watching you play. Thanks man I'm of to pick my guitar up

[@phile.1381]

Wow Guthrie! That was so hot I had to use a bucket of ice water on my computer monitor to stop it from smoking!

[@JonTorrence]

I love what you do, man. It’s authentic and inspiring. Off to shed a little bit 🚶🏾

[@martynspooner5822]

What a great life and thoroughly deserved. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with us mere mortals.

[@MiguelPerezCoaching]

Montuno and rumba bass line, nice 👌

[@JordanSheppardMusic]

I got to open for the Earls of Leicester once. Those guys are incredible. Great video!

[@timtime9167]

So sweet is syrupy. That's a cool idea GT with the tracks.

[@jonathanavery7583]

Amazing intro GT! Loving all those country bends and double stop runs. Learning a lick is easy, but integrating into playing is hard. What’s your secret?

[@georgecuellar]

Shout out from Tulsa Oklahoma!! Love the shirt GT ! Your videos always help me look at the guitar in a different light ! I enjoy watching and learning ! Keep um coming bro 😎!!

[@glenneads1733]

You are a fricken monster !!! Love listening to you play. Your teaching skills are off the chain ... THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS!!!!!

[@anonymouslyominous33]

That opening was awesome

[@climbtibet]

Fantastic playin; really enjoyed it. Welcome back 💪🎸 🤟

[@ianmckenzie5303]

I've been having a good time learning by overlaying riffs and rhythms using my looping pedal. It has a decent amount of drum beats built in. It's a great way practice too, and seeing as I'm an old (66) luddite/technopeasant, it still wasn't too tricky to figure out. Thx for all the inspirational videos you put out GT. ATB

[@Sammywhat]

Which looping pedal are you using?

[@ianmckenzie5303]

The Boss RC3, they're discontinued but you can still get the RC1 and RC5

[@jdub5107]

Man I could listen to you play all day!

[@zazoomatt]

Exactly How I practice at 65yo. I was way passed Techy when I 1st saw you. I am getting better doing the hard work seems 100bpm is my zone. Triads are coming at about 50 bpm and summer burgers at 2 bites Per minute. Jack Roch has so many lessons. I cry when I get them RIGHT ! Thanks GT

[@bradwilburnmusic]

I've been using Toontrack software to create similar backing tracks for learning solos. The drum tracks provide a feel that a metronome just can't. If you set em up in your DAW, It's easy to slow them down when you need to. Great video brother.

[@FC-cz6zd]

Pros are so much fun to watch😀

[@jrstott]

Damn! I could listen to that all day!

[@mt-nv4jd]

Grace can jam, and she's dang cute doin it.

[@terrycaster4976]

That was some sweet playing there GT

[@x2mars]

Fantastic!! Is that just you and the drums?? You’re covering the harmonies and the rhythm and the leads!!! Great!!!

[@gregwilliamsguitarist5127]

Dang Son, baadass, confident and sweet as cat hair. Just subscribed, love it.

[@PanamaJack666]

Killer playing at the start man, so fucking tight.

[@ChrisJustice]

Such great advice! I do practice this way but need to do it way more. This is how I write usually as well. The inversions and licks from you Guthrie are so good!

[@slowfinger2]

Victor Wainwright will burn the place down. Hold on to your hat tonight Guthrie. He was keys/vocals in the band Southern Hospitality.

[@joshellyson]

Great advice Mr GT, I use my little Boss looper with drums as a fancy metronome. It has really helped. In particular phrasing and anticipating where to come in and out (though it would make you cringe I am sure). When i watch the complete fluidity with which you play, its obvious the fretboard is more the second nature. Something to aspire to, but not sure there are enough years to get there. But the inspiration is always pushing me on. Many thanks.

[@derekclacton]

Awesome intro jam! 🎸👏

[@Daddytang67]

Im playing drums with Les and Mark Lyden Saturday at Pirates Cove. If you are around come jam.

[@nickk8416]

WOW! Great stuff. Really enjoyed that. I need to find a way to slow it way down to figure it out.

[@mattycyr8908]

Guitar gold!

[@Busk_N_Groove]

DaaANNG…Nice playing & Tele tone!

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Thanks Guthrie, this is inspirational man!

[@claudehopper9813]

Great idea , can't wait to hear your jam tracks ! Really hear a bit of hellacasters vib great pickin ' .

[@mike5177]

That intro was fire!

[@mike5177]

@OffcailGuthrieTrapp Scammer

[@imaseeker100]

Tele into a Princeton. Classic tone.

[@StephenLewisful]

Is that the one with all the nuts and bolts shaped into musicians that swing back and forth? I love that one. Ambient Backing Tracks is awesome as well for some great drone sounds. On your computer, you can start up a rhythm track then open up another page and play one of these drones. Solos for days and in key after key. I practice Guthrie's triads and arpeggios that way a lot. Im a gettin there and lovin it.

[@michaelmerrullo2043]

Liza Jane 😲😃 Love that song! What a great country chops expose from Vince. This is awesome! I've always wanted to country chops with that one. Great stuff Guthrie!

[@TheFeelButton]

Playing guitar for hours and hours and hours works for me. Good stuff Guthrie!

[@dejaliloquy]

Those KZbin backing tracks is how I've got to where I am now

[@Jstall7543]

Sounds Great Brother! 👊🏻

[@jimdevries9479]

Mesmerizing

[@briannacery9939]

Your mix sounded perfect to me and I got it, keep on keepin' on rhythmically!

[@StephenLewisful]

Tom Bailey Music as well. Those are short song backing tracks and it keep your ear open for when the chords change. This stuff is working for me. I wanted to add that Guthrie's Artistworks course shows how to practice the Hybrid Picking stuff. It's very basic and he shows how to get the Mark Knopfler sounds, or at least how to begin. The rest is up to us.

[@TremorBear]

Who would ever tell Guthrie Trapp that it doesn’t sound right? 😂
