Combining Major and Minor Pentatonics On Guitar

Here’s a video shedding a little light on combining these two pentatonics over Dominant 7 chords. This is very important to be able to break free of the pentatonic box. Enjoy!

Guthrie has a gift of guitar and gab. He’s able to effortlessly explain complex techniques in laymen’s terms. Dudes on point. It comes natural to him. That being said this man has put the work in. Much needed light in these crazy times. Thank you Guthrie for another gem! You never cease to amaze

[@joshellyson]

Mr Guthrie, thinking of these chords as constellations is a great way to think about it....and clearly you are a very bright star in the constellation of music. Thanks so much for your openness to share your musical and personal wisdom. Soooo appreciate it all.

[@jonathanavery7583]

2:47-3:34…penny drop moment! The 3 and the b7 are the tones which guide to the next chord (hence guide tones!) which are a semi tone away. Crucial info there. I will work on mapping out the 1 3 and b7 as triads all over the fretboard, much like I did for the 1 3 and 5. Sweet, thanks GT.

[@jstevens501]

"until you can see these constellations." what a great way of explaining it.

[@ashleyjamesharding]

Anyone else here amazed at how Guthrie Trapp just keeps raising the bar? I have never not been in awe of his playing, teaching and his attitude towards approaching music. One of my biggest inspirations of all time.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Wow. Thanks so much. That really is a great compliment and very kind and inspiring words. I’m happy to help and glad it’s working.

[@-Atmos1]

The Telecaster sounds perfect . Great information too ..... Thankyou .

[@maxface2147]

In passing Guthrie mentioned being able to see these chord "constellations". What a great way to think of them!!! I feel like studying chord diagrams will be huge for me!!! Thanks for the suggestion!!!

[@abdahrkerpal]

when Guthrie teaches, I sit up and pay attention

[@michaelshearer3559]

exactly. this level of playing can quickly get overwhelming, and there is a fine line to where you can actually pick up a solid lick or concept to really include in your vocabulary. most players are a bit guarded, but Guthrie is very generous with his time and knowledge.

[@johnnydeeme]

Trapp lookin good post-covid.. lost weight and trimmed his nails. You go boy!

[@danieldoke7725]

You have a constant message my friend, In my private lessons with you and the AW curriculum. Your message and teachings never waver! These fundamental principals are the foundation of playing over the chord changes and sounding melodic. It just takes the time in the woodshed practicing them over and over using a backing track, old records or metronome to keep tempo.

[@ericantoszewski34]

What do they charge for AW?

[@danieldoke7725]

@@ericantoszewski34 Prices very if promos involved but there is several different terms and prices (3/6/12 month plans). Check out the ArtistWorks website, the info is all there. artistworks.com/electric-country-guitar-lessons-guthrie-trapp

[@hunterleemusic8632]

I’ve never met a guy named Guthrie who isn’t a guitar wizard. Lol. Hey but seriously, you’re such a good dude for taking the time to share this stuff. Thank you so so much for these videos. They have been huge for me the past few weeks. In a bit of a creative slump recently but every time I watch one of your videos I come alive!

[@hearpalhere]

I love how you talk about these concepts and demonstrate them in a musical manner Guthrie! Thank you!

[@timothyhoder4591]

Guthrie thanks so much for continuing to post these lessons and for taking the time to say hi. We saw you on Thursday at the kitchen and my wife and I had an amazing time. Appreciate you and thanks fir everything. Tim from Chicago

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

Yes, so often you emphasize the importance of paying attention to the flat seventh and the major third. Yes, I need to hear these things in your playing and the playing of others over and over again because it takes repetition to make these things stick. Thank you for your help.

[@evanarcher7083]

I have made significant progress on guitar since discovering you on KZbin 2 years ago. Been doing your artistworks curriculum as well

[@pisterman2818]

Thank you Guthrie, yeah I think I start to get it, working and working and ... but I start to get it. But it s a looonnng journey (of music ). happy to see you so positive and passionate ! cheers from West -Paris ( :) )

[@cAnthonyL]

Can't thank you enough Guthrie for helping to unlock the fingerboard and show us the way!

[@robertrichter7702]

how can anyone give a thumbs down ?? i literally watched 5 seconds and was captivated by Guthrie playing ! He is Greatness!

[@jstevens501]

because there are always haters and losers on the planet.

[@zlatkodraskovic5532]

Intro…Brutal !

[@vincenttanguay4198]

These videos are SO good! I wish i had these when i started 25 years ago. But it is not to late! I will take a private lesson eventually for shur! Thank you Sir Trapp for your insight it is a privilege.

[@aaron4king1]

Ive been at trying to combine min/major pentatonics for a while, this video was the breakthrough for me. It almost seems so obvious now! and my ear is saying yes! that's the sound I was after.

[@MrTigger1979]

Love these lessons. Serious question from someone who has never been to Nashville: is there something wrong with the west side? GT really emphasizes EAST. 😀

[@brianolson_music]

Wow! Amazing introduction

[@belo1971]

Better than anything for a sunday morining..🎸🥰! Cheers from France

[@priceamp]

Best lesson yet. Thanks!!!!!!!

[@martynspooner5822]

That is an important concept, just got to learn them. Thanks a lot as always.

[@alexgriffiths2873]

Thank you so much for this video! I'd always struggled to play something cool over major chords, especially over blues jazz progressions like Charlie Parker changes, but this hybrid pentatonic idea has unlocked the whole thing for me! Playing 20 years and still learning. Much love from Europe!

[@philipbrister]

Man you look great!!! Well done dude.

[@mikekapsemalis362]

Off the inspirational charts! Superior feel and Next level precision thnx for the vid!

[@DonnePlummer69]

The legend himself. This guy is the best, hands down. edit: I can't spell

[@MrArtist1971]

Trapp's the best.

[@guitar78ish]

Love Guthrie's playing, respect his abilities, but you need to check out Josh Smith.

[@skatetodeath666]

He sure is. Anyone who thinks any different have not heard him play some of his live shows

[@robertrichter7702]

so smooth and spot on ! I agree ! love Guthrie !

[@robertrichter7702]

Thx Guthrie. You rock, Bud! 👍😊🎸

Guthrie- I know this is a year old- do you remember what amp you were using? GREAT tone here- just full beautiful tones coming from that tele...

[@jasonlhendricks]

GT is an amazing player and a really good teacher. Pay attention to the man, you will learn to flow.

[@jorgesilva5004]

Cristal clear. Great lesson. I am moving forward in this direction and it is nice to hear your insights on this. 👏 Thanks Guthrie, you are a great educator of this new online era. I am from Chile, and having the chance to get information from great player and educators like you is incredible. This is a positive thing of the online era.

[@mikkotakala2056]

Thanks again bro! I've been watching all these videos on yt and offcourse the AW Curriculum. The thing is that I'm starting To hear these changes in my head. In advance. I pretty much know where the melody is going or what are the options - weird:) Next goal is To Move all this knowledge To my hands and fingers. Thanks a bunch!

[@scottsalome8206]

That was very good my friend I know all those concepts but you put it into a compact disk for me. Thank you very much great work great artist keep it up.

[@jameslee2943]

Really like the quick slide at around 8:57 from the 2nd (?) to the minor 3rd (?). Tasty!

[@marcoorozco3953]

Hi Guthrie I think your playing is amazing, it's so warm and rich of phrases. Why don't you put together all this videos en make a Complete course?. I will buy it (sorry I don't like plans)

[@jonathanavery7583]

[@StephenAndAshling]

Hey Gutrie! Awesome lesson my man! I would love to see your musical genius explain modes I know I would get it and its relation to changes and chord shapes if someone with your talent explained it! Thanks, Stephen from Ireland =)

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks man!! I don’t know what modes are.

constellations , , , great term ! !

[@John375PD]

Thats what Im talkin about.

[@rolanddoucet458]

Great lesson. Thank you.

[@SD-nj1cy]

Can anyone explain why the "G" shape minor is actually the "A" shape? I get the "E" shape would be at frets 5-7, so the "G" shape would be 3-5, and that playing a "G" shape would be playing a major not minor, and the relative minor is always the previous box pattern (2 minor pattern is the 1st major patter)... but it still looks like what he's calling the G shape is really the A shape

[@SlavicSon]

Is every guitar player named Guthrie always so ripping good?

[@skatetodeath666]

My problem is I have a million licks but can't keep track of where I am in the progression.

[@CMM5300]

He actually used the dominant pentatonic. 1235b7

[@wojciechimielski4313]

But... why minor pentatonic matches always, and major not always (not to each chord)? Can you explain thath fucking mystery?

[@mikesekula3949]

Stop that. Seriously.

[@davidsummerville351]

Great tone on that guitar today
