Guthrie Trapp | Truetone Lounge | Part One

Guthrie Trapp is one of the finest guitarists in Nashville, TN, a town known for its amazing musicians. In our Truetone Lounge interview, we talk with Trapp about his early playing experiences on the Gulf Coast, why he moved to Nashville, and how performing with the Don Kelley Band punched his career into overdrive. We also discuss his musically eclectic new album, Life After Dark, that features Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, Jimmy Hall, The McCrary Sisters, and Bekka Bramlett as guests.

Love how Guthrie acknowledged that he had great parents. You don't hear that very often anymore. He has become my favorite cotton pickin' string bendin' guitar slinger in the past couple of months. Another great interview Zac. 😊

[@christopherjones1649]

Guthrie is a hell of a player and hearing about his early years now explains why that is. Great interview.

[@fredradical]

Guthrie needs to get a TV show. Like the old Roy Clark show. I can see it. He's got the same kind of likeablty. Having musical guests and just plain fun. I'm up for it.

[@richardrattos8511]

Glad you give your parents and your uncle a lot of respect, and you deserve the best for everything you do and say .

[@richardrattos8511]

Beautiful Story Zac & Guthrie

[@PT_English]

Awesome 20.11 - 21.37

[@nathansturgess92]

So impressed with Guthrie’s outlook and playing. He approaches the guitar as I do; learn how to blaze, but know which songs don’t need it! Too many ‘hot shot’ players blaze all the time, and it gets so boring...

[@TruetoneFX]

Agreed. He has a great melodic sense, and knows when to burn too. Zac

[@smokinop]

First time I ever heard of GT was at Roberts Western Wear with the Don Kelly Band. Thanks again Zac & crew!

[@TruetoneFX]

You are so welcome. I wish I had seen him play with Don. Zac

[@JDWH]

Guthrie is the man. He’s helped my playing so much

[@seanskates]

This is a great channel. I’m fascinated by the Nashville scene but live in Seattle. I love the inside look here.

[@TruetoneFX]

Thanks for watching!

[@berrigandavid]

ZAC YOU DO A GREAT JOB. YOU LET THE ARTIST TALK AND DON'T GET IN THE WAY. FROM YOUR OTHER INTERVIEWS IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS WELL PREPARED. GUTHRIE IS SUCH A FASCINATING PLAYER AND I ALWAYS FIND HIM WORTH LISTENING TO. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. LEARNING LOTS

[@TruetoneFX]

David, thank you for the kind words. Like you said, I do my best to steer things, yet let the artist tell their story. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and share it. Zac

[@danross146]

I had the good fortune of doing Guthrie's Guitar Immersion Day in Nashville. Prior to meeting Guthrie I was super nervous and wondered what we would talk about all day. Within 5 minutes it was like hanging out with an old friend. He's a super generous person and tolerated my well below average skill level. So I highly recommend the Guitar Immersion Experience. Especially if you are a good player but as is the case with me, you don't have to be and it will still be just a great time. Also, I highly recommend the Artist Works country guitar tutorial with Guthrie Trapp. It is well worth every penny. Once again, Zac you have hit it out of the park with this interview. Thanks so much to both of you!

Once again Zac, a great subject and a fascinating interview. I was fortunate enough to meet Guthrie at a Sweethearts of the Rodeo show at the Station Inn in 2008. He was such a nice guy to chat with, and clearly an awesome musician. Looking forward to the next part of this! Great work!
