Funk Rhythm Guitar Ideas

[@Jeff_H_the_Guitarist]

I stop everything I’m doing when I see a notification for a new Guthrie Trapp video.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks so much man!!

[@Joker433]

I do that too, but a little bit later, because my english is not very well, and i come from germany.

[@tylerlee549]

Ditto!

[@kentgetzin1258]

Absolutely!

[@bruunm1975]

If it’s driving, don’t ;-).

[@tonygodwinjr7390]

16:00 to 17:06 is the reason you watch this entire video.. this man is amazing.. jamming and feeling it in the middle of a lesson from someone that isn't focused on the college and sales and actually stating "off track" just because he was feeling that jam haha.. man you are great. keep it up and trust me.. NOBODY minds your small jam sessions we love it because it helps people learn too by watching.

[@gregmirr]

Guthrie seems like the kinda guy , that would make a great neighbor . Love to hear him jammin every day .

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Greg Mirr Can I borrow some milk? Ha! Thanks a bunch man!!

[@pedrotavares8691]

Never a dull moment with GT......

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Pedro Tavares Boy is that an understatement !!

[@JarvisMushka]

Guthrie, this is by far the best groove lesson on the internet...... Thank you, Thank you, thank you,. unforgettable.

[@ajbigguy]

What fun it is to learn something. We used to hang out the river house back in the day, good times.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Aj Bigler yea man! Learned a lot back then!

[@KirkJones_kingbee]

I lucked out and got invited to the Trapp home in Alabama a few years ago. What a blast to hear Guthie with the home boys.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Kirk Jones Yea man!! Thanks a bunch!

[@slickyjorj]

Been playing for 30+ years. A lot of the voicings and licks are familiar...but watching and listening from your perspective opens up new stuff for me. Thanks for sharing. Love your playing.

[@davidhoxit4274]

Can't thank you enough Guthrie! I work 60 hrs a week and the only thing I look forward to is a small lesson from you and I really appreciate that sir!!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

David guitar madman Thanks a bunch man!!

[@gbarge4]

Hey, Brother. So glad to see you continue on the mend. Hallelujah on RHYTHM!!! More, please, in bite sized bits. For me, rhythm is the song, it's where we can tuck in and where I can actually have loads of fun playing with buddies over. Honestly, if I have something new there, they have more interest than if someone has a new lick. Solid gold also for looping pedal practice. Always looking for something new and sonically interesting to lay down and play over. Thanks so much for starting this!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

G Barge Thanks for watching!!

[@marksc1929]

...Ive said it before .. i never get bored watching Guthrie.. such an interesting player.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks so much!!

[@slickyjorj]

and generous. Using his time to share.

[@jonpace8369]

Thank you Guthrie for your generous nature + your straight forward approach. You’ve got me thinking about chord shapes all day long!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Jon Pace Thanks a bunch man!!

[@brettlazor8219]

You're a bad man Guthrie! In a good way! Thank you for all the time you take to teach us

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Brett Lazor Thanks man! My pleasure!

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

More rhythm videos please! You explain these ideas so well and your playing examples are spot on. Thank you so much.

[@sagig72]

What a natural guitarist.... . All flows effortlessly, with such a clean sound. My favorite youtube channel.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks so much man!!

[@uyngane]

Haha! “Off track”. I was just waiting for you to lose control and go off on a tangent! Just can’t hold back, eh. Thanks GT. You’re a treasure.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

uyngane Ha! Thanks man! Well I don’t want these to get boring either...

[@MartinMelbye]

So many ideas in there. All new to me. Thanks @Guthrie 🙏🏻

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Martin Melbye Thanks man!!

[@joekyleboston]

Guthrie! Yes, more of this please. And safe travels. Hey, come on up to Boston!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Joe K Thanks man!!

[@JoeBama80]

Hands down the best lessons on the internet. Thanks so much, Guthrie!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

JoeBama80 Wow! Thanks a ton!!

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

Wow these licks you showed take me back 25 years! Those were some of the first blues/funk licks I learned. Add a little trill to that hammer on for some flavor on that first little pattern and you're on! Brilliant lesson. Thank you!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Old Guy's Guitar Vlog Thanks for watching !!

[@j80quicker]

It's fun to mix two lessons together. e.g., I watched your vid on country bends followed by this funk rhythm. Weird and fun to mix the two.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Gordon Cooke Yea man!! Mix it all up!! Thanks

[@lancecass8997]

Guthrie. Glad your back. Ear infections can be hell. My right hand often wants to strum some funky rhythms but my left hand isn't always on board. This lesson is great. With your lessons, just in the last few months, the Ah Ha's just keep coming. Your last lesson helped me tremendously, thank you.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Lance Cluff Awesome man!! Glad to hear it!! More to come

[@steveblanton2860]

How is he not the number one guitar KZbin player (talking about subscribers to channel).One of the most talented guys with Josh Smith and Greg Koch. Crazy world with “music” that is popular now. I guess I sound old oh well. Awesome video Guthrie you’re rhythm playing is fantastic

[@veljkosimovic2302]

That Freddy King chord is awesome! Thx so much for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Serbia!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Veljko Simovic Awesome! Thanks man!!

[@PhoShzel75]

I've been woefully lacking in the funk department. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you Guthrie!

[@lukesteward3979]

Since using the Fender Medium pick and using the edge rather than the sharp end its really changed and improved my playing/ tone in my opinion, also its become my favourite pick size :)

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Luke Steward yea man!! It’s the best in my opinion. Thick picks are for bluegrass, which I’ll be covering soon also!

[@kellyeah4430]

Another great lesson with tons of great ideas! Thanks GT!!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Kell Yeah Thanks man!!

[@mckendrickmusic6286]

Guthrie, All theses great comments here show how insightful your lessons are!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

MCKENDRICK MUSIC Very inspiring! Thanks man!

[@thewizang]

He makes this stuff so approachable and then blows you away at the art of the possible... for example 16:40 .... wow, thank you for being a constant inspiration Guthrie.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Hoang Luu Thanks so much man!

[@Beefrodd]

Been having heaps of fun playing this. Thanks!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

[@magicdaveable]

Good to "see" you brother. Hope you are healing. Great lesson.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

David Bennett Thanks man!!

[@timnewman1172]

Thanks Guthrie! I have been "rehabbing" after breaking my fretting hand last year, your lessons have been an inspiration to getting back on track again!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Aw man!! Heal soon! Thanks a bunch!!

[@ZacharyWenner]

Wow. Thank you! This is so good, walking through all these tutorials one by one is changing my guitar playing

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Zachary Wenner Awesome man! Thanks a bunch!

[@alanbaral3546]

Love the funk rhythm work... nice change ups to keep it interesting

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Alan Baral Thanks man!!

[@charlesbaviera4244]

Great lesson again, along with some rhythms to work on, I find it really helps me with some lead ideas. Love what you do, thanks, please do more of this.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

charles baviera Thanks man!!

[@aequus1band]

Offtrack is the RIGHT track! We're watching and thinking Steve Cropper, James Brown and you say it! That's just being a good teacher. Still waitin' on that super claw chicken' pickin' out of chord shape vid. Thanks maestro!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

aequus1band Yea man!! Thanks a bunch!!

Great Lesson - Love your video lessons. Guthrie your a natural teacher and obviously a fantastic musician. Keep these videos coming, great stuff.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Frank Enzerillo Thanks a bunch man!!

[@MichaelDavidFinn]

Great to have you back, Sir! Everything you put out on the net, be it through KZbin, or Instagram is so inspiring, that during my Saturday night gig, I kept recalling phrases and chord shapes from your videos. With my birthday coming up in June, it’s time to take it to the next level by taking one of your courses. Thank you, Guthrie Trapp!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

mike finn Awesome man!! Thanks a bunch!

[@alfreddisanti8423]

17:02 Guthrie; "off track". I love it...I was so into it I didn't care! I was right there keeping up during the whole video until that part and then I just stopped, watched and remembered how freaky good Guthrie is.

[@tonygodwinjr7390]

I literally watch your videos one after another and i should focus more on 1 at a time. lol. you're great my man. thank you!

[@dankiely663]

All your videos are good but this one is stellar. Thnx for sharing so many cool funk ideas and showing how to cook up a funk stew.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Dan Kiely Thanks man! Fun style!

[@j_freed]

That's a nice jazz box! I want a groovy ES.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

j freed Thanks man! I love it.

[@tylerlee549]

Thanks for another great lesson man! These little lessons of yours are taking my playing and confidence to a whole new level.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

TylerLeeTV Thanks a bunch man!!

[@shaneblock6926]

Another great lesson, Guthrie! Thanks so much!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Shane Block Thanks man!!

[@jamesrobinson529]

This is an inspiring tutorial. When I look at this from the CAGED perspective, it shows me that there's a lot of fun practice ahead.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

James Robinson yea man!! Thanks !!

[@iainframe6051]

Wow!!! just amazing Guthrie, Loved your 'off track' moment, you know when someone does something so amazing and you find yourself spontaneously chuckle! You're a great teacher, thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Looking forward to booking a private lesson soon.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Iain Frame Well thanks man bunch man! Means a lot!

[@dabbounce7668]

thank you so much mr guthrie ,you have a real nice rythm phrasing ,the way you mix rythm and lead !! so natural ,in the pocket. take care

[@guthrietrappmusic]

dab bounce Thanks man!!

[@jerrywilson4371]

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Kent Getzin Thanks man!!!

[@BeachCreatures]

This video is amazing. Nice work. Thanks for slowing it down and showing us how to play this rhythm.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Constantine Panakos Thanks man!! More to come!!

[@BeachCreatures]

Guthrie Trapp - I have been watching a lot of your videos and I think in this video you really nail explaining and showing how to play the licks and rhythm parts. It was very clear to me what you were doing. I would keep it up. Your explanations of the theory behind it is getting much better. Great job.

[@TheJohnnyjean]

Refreshing with a focus on rhythm playing and especially funky and tasteful ! I think it's a good idea to propose more rhythm guitar playing as opposed to the majority of lead guitar shredding videos out there. Keep em coming! Thanks Guthrie

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Jean Thanks a bunch man!

[@TheJohnnyjean]

Guthrie Trapp my pleasure!

[@NJSonye]

Nice rhythm thing. I’m glad you approached rhythm guitar concept this way.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

N. J. Sonye thanks man!!

[@markrodgers2976]

LOL at "off track" @ 17:03 !!

[@stevenedmunds2018]

As always awesome video. SoCal needs a Trapp tour!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Steven Edmunds Thanks man!

[@wanehamer]

Thanks again buddy.....I connected with that ! From 16:27 to 17:05.... that’s mind blowing....inspiring.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

John D Thanks a bunch man!!

[@timothyhoder4591]

Cracking up watching Guthrie play 16:27 to 17:05 and his comment is "Off Track" like an apology for that piece of playing. Like he got just a little distracted. Thanks for continuing to post GT. There is so much to learn in a 20 minute video from you which is why multiple views is a must!

[@martynspooner5822]

Wow that means so much to me. That's what I'll be doing the next couple weeks Thanks a Lot

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks man!!

[@allenronaldson4381]

That craziness at 16:55 was sick. Well done maestro. Actually it was 16:54..

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Allen Ronaldson Thanks !!

[@Markelton883]

It keeps getting better 👍👍🎸

[@guthrietrappmusic]

newhallskins Thanks man!!

[@aahogpilot1]

[@guthrietrappmusic]

@@YossieT Wow. Thanks again!!

[@skatetodeath666]

Perfect getting into funky goodness. Just the style I have been wanting to learn but no good lessons on this style out there. Thanks man

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Great man!! Thanks !!

[@torbincase8202]

I gained alot of ideas from this I found that little E 9 chord* 9 10 11 fret {kinda sus effect into E6} on the high strings works great w/E9 on the lower, real slick. man that kinda music/groove has got to stay relavant, it walks you right into jazz!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Another interesting lesson!! *Thanks Guthrie!!*

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks man!!

[@Mainstreet2006]

Great lesson Guthrie...Thanks for sharing!

[@rewster77]

Rhythm is definitely something I could be much better at. Thanks!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

All of us could! Thanks man!!

[@matthieurouffet2319]

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Matthieu Rouffet Thanks a bunch man!!

[@charliedk]

So fun to watch. I love this style of playing. I know your lessons are geared towards Country electric guitar. Do you have suggestions for lessons on this type of funk, etc?

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Richard Scott Thanks man!! I can teach it via private or Skype lessons.

[@thomasreilly-Guitar]

Great wee lesson from a top player

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thomas Reilly Guitar Tunes Thanks a bunch man!!

[@gearmeister]

Great stuff man, the best rhythm players lace & tie in to the keyboard player, lead guitarist, while helping the drummer & bass player create that tight groove!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

gearmeister thanks man!!

[@vbros7]

12K subscribers for one of the best guitar players (and teachers) out there? I guess I have to believe it's only a matter of time. After all, Marty Schwartz has 1.4MM. Great stuff Guthrie, thanks for your time and insight!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

vbros7 Thanks a bunch man!! Just getting started 😎👍🎶

[@janiclindsay6417]

Subbed. Thanks for these lessons. So much good info! This is my favorite stuff: the funk, soul, r&b, Steve cropper stax rhythms. Just awesome. You are really helping to expand my vocabulary on guitar!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

ttb fan Great man!! Thanks!!

[@isaiah30v8]

Ok, this is not only increasing my fretboard knowledge I'm also having to get my strumming and picking to improve immensely in an attempt to try and keep up. Looks like I have hours of practice ahead of me from having watched this video. It's all good.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

isaiah30v8 Thanks man! Keep it up!!

[@thelyrichartley]

I rarely comment on youtube, but damn I love to watch you play! I will be all around Nashville this summer and will be looking for a chance to see you play!! Thank you sir, much appreciated!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Lyric Hartley Thanks a bunch man!!
