Country Guitar Licks That Are Usable And Movable!

I never like teaching licks unless there’s some fundamental background along with them. Here’s two that have that. These two ideas are tied directly to chord shapes and chord tones. You can never go wrong with that approach. Enjoy!

Guthrie Trapp

[@edwinwoods8294]

i soooo want to be able to play like that .. I ve been playing for 30 yrs .. You are very inspiring.. I ll buy that album

[@TFJoos]

My father inlaw was a blue collar upstate NY country western "bubba". He passed about three years ago. He was 80. He was always in a country western style band, "Country Roads" from the first time I ever met him. "Country Roads" dissolved because these guys started getting old and moving away to places like Tennessee and North Carolina and such. After that he continued to hang with his bar buddies and kept on playing mostly pedal steel .. And some of those dudes just up and died without any intention of doing so. My Father-in-law being one of them. His name was Henry Emiel Schell. Boy, Guthrie, he honest to God would have loved you.

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

Thank you for sharing that story. I'm from Western New York, and currently residing in upstate NY. I am very grateful to have discovered, as you said, quite a country western influence and scene over here. It's great. And as you said Guthrie's hard not to love. I took one private lesson with him about four years ago, and it set me on a new course, and helped change my guitar playing life forever! God Bless you, and may your father in law and his buddies all rest in peace. 🙏

[@MattLewisGuitar]

Oh my gosh, I’m gonna learn this stuffffff 🎉😮

[@MattLewisGuitar]

@officialGuthrieTrapp1 no you scammer

[@jobogaert8514]

the more I watch you, the more I contemplate hanging my guitars on the wall and take up knitting 😅 thanks for the lesson

[@markslima1557]

that opening intro has so many ideas in that short period it's insane - this is hours of material

[@alxmrls1]

I only rewatched the into like 10 times lol

[@j.d.o5709]

Eternally grateful that someone on Guthrie's level takes the time to make these lessons. We're so incredibly fortunate to live in an age where we can learn this directly from players like him, at such convenience.

[@robertscherer8860]

You can hear and see the many many years that went into the amazing level Guthrie plays at. So impressive 🎶

[@robertscherer8860]

Even if you only learn one thing from this video thats great. Just have fun with this. There’s only one GT

[@duchessofhazjack4878]

I've been playing about 2 years and I love it, but I can't play any licks yet. How long is it roughly before you can start playing them?

[@AndrewBoydMusic]

one of favorite lessons so far thanks

[@tripledotter9520]

New licks are how we overcome boredom with our playing, thanks!

[@SteveSterlacci]

Glad to see the Floyd in action!!!

[@Sammywhat]

The pickups in this guitar are pure gold!!!

[@SteveSterlacci]

@@Sammywhat something about it just always sounds better to me !

[@climbtibet]

Rollin rollin rollin! Frickin awesome! Thanx GT !

[@nightguy5796]

What a great video. He gives me so much to work on. Priceless.

[@Music.Notes145]

Guthrie Your my favorite guitarist rn

[@tracyredding307]

Oh I’m liking where this one is headed

[@travisgunnels09]

This is the kind of lesson I love. This is a weeks worth or more of practice and I always “ discover” how these new things connect to something else. Always aha moments after your lessons. I really appreciate it.

[@davidgerber9317]

Absolutely fantastic lesson. Relatively easy shapes, and so much fun learning to move them around. And I really improved at something you never mentioned once---hybrid picking! You are a fountain of knowledge, super-generous with sharing it!

[@randalltindall282]

GOOD GRAVY!!!!! THANKS GUTHRIE FOR POSTING!!

[@riffcodgerpetermcaleer8638]

16:36 pretty perfect picking mr G. Fantastico.

[@arthurlove1002]

Thank you for helping me to get it! I get it. Thank you.

[@jonferber1925]

Thanks for the inspiration to keep improving and taking things I do know to the next level and opening up the dominant sound. Very much appreciate the Free youtube lessons. I'll be getting into the Artistworks video exchange.

[@callanturner4749]

Great stuff GT. Thanks for your generosity

[@dustynroth]

Legendary guitarist across a bunch of genres. Nice dude, too

[@MsLuke56]

Thanks Gman , you just shared huge pearls for free from your extensive experience. As a 68 year old guitarist this was huge hermano. Greatful!

[@jumpskirt]

Great lesson - got a lot out of it. Thank you!

[@kmajor44]

Love these licks and theory dive. Very 😎 And, that Tele is totally working…for me that is.

[@rockinrob6853]

Man alive… that simple little 7th trick is life changing. Thank you sir. I am a huge fan of your channel. More of those little tricks please. Lol. 👍🇨🇦

[@travelbydragonfly]

Thanks so much for breaking these licks down for a tin ear like mine. This lesson is gold !!

[@EnigmaEuslam]

Always thankful for more GTrapp vocabulary lessons.

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

That's the stuff right there! 🙏👏

[@greyguy69]

Useful lesson. Thank you.😊

[@AcousticOne]

Appreciate the great lesson and mountain of ideas GT! I get this epiphany after watching you play certain things and it starts to makes sense ….after I try it a hundred times or so!

[@gatt2b]

This guy is freaking awesome

[@joshellyson]

Thanks a million Mr GT, you have served up a huge helping of things to learn and work on. Coming from one of the greats is very generous of you.

[@diggeroldmate8122]

Wow this was great! I even managed to play some of it! Thanks.

[@FaithHopeLove77]

That's supar Cool and sooo Honky Tonk! Thanks GT

[@nathancourtney2006]

Thanks always appreciated.

[@spliffoutlaw558]

Man bro very happy I invested in your true fire course. Mambo Cheeks and Pick Piece my favorite. Cheers 🍻

[@nelsonkerr1119]

Yeah...he gives it all away in that TrueFire course. Pick Piece is amazing...I really dig his stuff on the Rhumba groove too...totally ridiculous. Should keep us guitar players busy for a long, long time. 😅

[@chrisfrantzis4351]

Awesome! Thank you GT!!

[@kpuliatch]

Damn, that’s a university degree in music right there . Much gratitude Mr Guthrie

[@Manlopsan2]

Nice to see the Floyd tele back in business

[@danthegeetarman]

Great lesson as always and glad to hear you’re finding that healthy balance 💪💪

[@precisionsoundworksstudio]

Amazing.

[@1972f1972]

GT IS AMAZING !!!

[@egregiolorenzograssi]

Are you a Paesano? Love what you're doing!! Keep drinking that vino rosso Trapp!

[@chrischarles1468]

All I can say is, “Thanks GT.”

[@christopherfryda]

Your awesome GT, thank you for the inspiration!

[@johnmcelhaney8490]

That was spectacular!

[@HughJengine]

Another gem of a lesson full of practical useful ideas. Cheers🙏

[@timtime9167]

Killer licks man. Tele sounds great to me.

[@csgexec]

Unreal chops G

[@PaulMcKendrick]

Jeff Skunk Baxter with early Steely was so good with this stuff. Lovely playing GT

[@tracyredding307]

Smooth

[@kieranoloughlin]

Another good one GT ................your killing it👍

[@Frettedchaos]

Great lesson! Dayum son. I like the way you challenge us to do some work on our end. I’ve learned so much. Thank you.

[@Tom-in8jz]

G T , don't spend a fortune on good Italian wine ! Get you a Jug of Paisano by Carlo Rossi , a gallon is about 15 bucks ,thats the shit ,drink at room temp ,thats what we Goomba 's drink with dinner ,we call it Ginnie red enjoy it ! Thanks for the videos ! You the man bro , next time I get to music city I'll try to find where your playing, Thanks again!

[@Sammywhat]

This is brilliant, GT!! Would LOVE to see some more input on that right hand technique. Your timing is un-freakin'-believable! Thank you for all of this sharing, man. ❤

[@aminahmed2220]

Fantastic 😊

[@dent2313]

That guitar. ❤❤❤

[@mattheusmartynenko]

Love that 0:04 lick, very Ry Cooder-ish!

[@wimvandijk6275]

Man Guth… this is an effing good lesson!

[@wimvandijk6275]

@officialGuthrieTrapp1 I’ll text you on your cell

[@goggleboy2464]

Dang that sounds sweet. That guitar is really chimey sounding love it!

[@bluesdriver6354]

Great lesson thanks!!!

[@Flatpickmastery]

Stratto sent me ...he was right man you can play just fantastic. Just subscribed

[@firecaptainTX]

Thank you for this lesson! So much cool, useful stuff. The last section where you slide your pinkie repeatedly is particularly good for me to drill on bc my little finger thinks it's a toe. Getting more coordinated by the hour tho, thank you!

[@micahwayne8232]

Man those pedal steel licks are sweet! Need to spend some time with that section.

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

So much good stuff in here! Looks like I've got some things to work on this week. Thank you!

[@wait4it188]

More amazing stuff, golden nuggets very inspiring. Thanks for keeping it real and being just down to earth so relatable. Greatthat things are rocking for you too! Another awesome video

[@gitpa1]

"Right so there's that"😂

[@AdamLevyGuitarTips]

Really cool ideas, Guthrie. Thanks for this lesson.

[@todddreiling6595]

I’ve never thought of going from an E to E7 before. Seen it in some songs but have never thought about constructing it in a lead this way.

[@ZCAR355]

Good stuff!

[@diamuerte]

Best episode. "That's some honky tonk shit!" You gotta make T-shirts.

[@billduffy8224]

Great video Guthrie - these ideas will keep me busy for awhile - heard you mention Nantucket gig - my wife and I have a little place out there - hope you got to enjoy it while you were there🎸😎

[@danross146]

Guthrie, you give away so much great free stuff! But I still encourage all of you to try out the True Fire Courses!

[@unauthorized664]

Great !

[@blaineburnie6890]

Love this

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

A wee lesson on that tri tone thing you mentioned would be amazing thanks as ever ❤❤❤

[@tracyredding307]

I ❤ Italian food too

[@twitcheyspleen]

00:10- 00:13 ... wow, made me do a happy laugh the voicings are so cool. Love you playing. Your straight talk about guitar playing has improved my playing x2 ... Thank you! peace, Richey

[@brendanokeefemusic-]

That tele sounding stanky GT!🔥🔥🔥

[@roseystough7490]

Ur a beast bro. Greetings from Pensacola Fla. we sure r proud of you around here. We got the boxing great Roy Jones Jr. and a bad ass guitar player in you. Not to shabby Lol please keep the videos coming there my favorite.

[@richiewichie]

"This guitar is quite not happening"...while he is playing some of the best country licks ever!😂😲

[@HarrrySpider]

About 5 minutes he gets to musical stuff.. fast forward to get to the point .. but we he gets to it? really good stuff here! Nice vid man!

[@tomthriveni]

Thanks Guthrie! Super helpful lesson-- always appreciate how you incorporate the theory/chord context so that we have a full understanding of how to apply the approach in multiple ways!

[@loupascarelli]

I LOVE THOSE ITALIAN WINES , ESPECIALLY CHIANTI ..

[@guitarpicker6844]

I feel your pain. I've owned my 89 American Standard Strat since 89 and the frets are shot but I freak out and go into convulsions at the thought of it being messed with. As always, fantastic video. You're awesome bro!

[@EdgarBeja]

Love how you sound with that Tele! The stiffness has to do with the extra tension of those two string trees! Take care 👍🎸

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

Another killer post, thanks as ever. Would be amazing to show us how to approach those muted type things you do, the chicken picking type mutes, so funky! ❤

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

The bass/plectrum parts I mean

[@donniemiggs5856]

Great stuff! I hear Merle haggard!

[@travisgunnels09]

Best line “ that’s some honky tonk shit right there!” Lol

[@juaromu]

You need to try the red wine in Spain too :-). Really bad I won’t be in Madrid in October:-(.

[@nickthewulf]

"Thats some honky tonk shit right there" 😂

[@loupascarelli]

WOW !

[@drewbowski]

“This guitar is not quite happenin” @15:40 😂😂😂 ok bro! If that’s the sound of a guitar not happenin, then I dont want guitar to ever happen again!

[@deke61sg]

Killer shit. I'll be trying that for sure. Much slower, lol.

[@MWright95186]

killerch't dude!!! thankyou SOOO much... somethin 2 aim 4... ;) M

[@tefenstrat]

I was just commenting on your new blues video yesterday how IMO one sign of a great guitar player is if they can play many different styles well. Then I today you are playing country and playing it great-yesterday it was the blues. It really made me really laugh when during the video you paused and said " Now thats some real honky tonk Sh*# right there ! Maybe a good song title or lyric?-LOL. :-)

[@billhunt4539]

"This guitar is not quite happening"...after ripping off multi-bend licks for 5 minutes straight...lol. Awesome GT!

[@NotYourTypicalNegro]

Boy you betta play THAT...

[@erikdjjohnson]

Brilliant. Say hi to my old buddy Lex Price. Someday I'd like you to hear the work PAUL FRANKLIN did on my album way back in the day. You are a great teacher. Thanks!

[@loumat62]

Great !!!!!!! Do you play with rounded size of pick??? Thank you 😊😊
