Useful Triads For Rhythm Guitar Playing

[@Five-1]

There is something just genuine about this guy. It is so refreshing. Not coming across as trying to hard. You are indeed a real blessing to this guitar generation. You may never know the real impact you’re having. Thank you.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I appreciate that!

[@vpovince1001]

Very true these guys are the coolest guys ever and would be awesome to hang out with all day everyday!

[@johnbunker4866]

I play rhythm in our church. The Big Daddy chords. Mainly C, E, and A shapes. You have challenged me to start learning triads. Which is helping me to learn the rest of my fretboard better and putting in a few lead notes here and there. Although it's tough relearning songs in a new way, I can see that it is going to help me. Thank you for trying so hard to help people understand the concepts.

[@stevieray3716]

Thanks Guthrie for your contents. You are the best guitar teacher on KZbin. You changed my life on the guitar ! Please continue to share as you do. Cheers from France.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

More to come!

[@twitcheyspleen]

Same here - I earn my playing music that requires a love of blues, reggae, jazz and a touch of country. Your videos have opened up my playing - I have been constantly improving

[@dancher7640]

I’m sure you and Tom and Jedd have had fans of your channels travel miles to see you live. Multiply that by all your KZbin followers and be confident the road will treat you well!❤🇨🇦

[@petedunning_SG]

Masterful playing....always. Love what you have been doing with Tom B, man...

[@ChaseMcClendon]

You guys are a huge inspiration. I often wonder what would happened if I had gone all in like you guys and followed my passion. I love that you guys are getting the attention you deserve. You're all fantastic and helping out so many people!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Our pleasure!

[@BobEstremera]

That was so great! Super understandable and a great way to get cool with triads. And don’t sweat yer yakin’. We come here for that too.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lawrencedeans1433]

It's great to see what you can do or add around chord shapes and triads thanks GT more pls 🙏

[@PastaPatate]

I love you and Tom and Jedd and what I love is you guys all have your own sound and style and play totally different from each other.

[@StephenLewisful]

Guthrie you've got a great philosophy of life and music. You keep showing up we will too. Because of you I've learned alot about where the chords are in the keys and how to move around in them. Thanks for that. I'll hit that tip jug with 20 bones.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks a bunch man! Means a lot

[@seanreay1916]

Saw the show at the Underdog Monday! Our first time in Nashville and it was the highlight of our trip! Thanks for putting on a great show! That 4 string bass and drums AND Cymbals was pretty kick ass too!

[@nickl2883]

Hey Guthrie, love what you’re doing man. I met you a few times and saw the trio, you’re a class act as always. Please please come to philly with the gang.

[@mattprince9204]

Love it, GT! One of those riffs has a little Fire On The Mountain flavor. Amazing and inspiring stuff as always. 🎸✌️

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Cool, thanks!

[@Chris-jx4xu]

I love all your lessons! I could talk for hours about how amazing this channel is, it’s helped me progress by leaps and bounds! You are a legend. Much love for you and your channel.

[@HighscoreCreative]

Hey Guthrie, Thanks for that little speech at the beginning about not giving up. I really needed to hear that this week.

[@gordancvetkovic1966]

Thank you for finding the time and your insightful tips and lessons. They are golden brother... Blessings 🙏✨️🎵🎸

[@JohnSorrell-h4h]

I've about run out of compliments to give Guthrie, and he deserves them all.

[@fkp-1353]

Guthrie, you are the absolute best. The time you spend showing and explaining these concepts is incredibly appreciated. Thank you!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Glad you like them!

[@enricob2712]

Thank you Guthrie for what you're doing here and the guitar music world. I saw you last Monday at the Underdog, amazing show man! That night I had my best time in Nashville! Keep rocking! Cheers from Ireland

[@ChaseMcClendon]

Glad to hear that guitar is staying in tune now, Guthrie! 😉 Loved hearing you and Tom joking about it on stage at 3rd and Lindsley!

[@michaelc.2599]

Algorithms... When i first saw this guy Trapp, I thought what is this guy doing? Then I watched him explain, simply, the method to the madness. Now the videos feel like I'm hanging with a buddy who just so happens to play guitar too. And your buddy, yeah, he's like a humble genius. He just wont admit it. 🍻

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤❤❤ I would highly highly recommend seeing these gentlemen live. It was the best musical experience I can remember for a long long long time.

[@kyledrevlo1962]

Love you GT, and all your mates. Much respect for the dedication you show up with daily!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Much appreciated

[@justincotten]

Another riff foundation in the pocket once again. Thanks GT!

[@geraldhenderson2535]

I've been enjoying these videos for a long time! I recently joined artist works and it is an absolute game changer!!!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@brianolson_music]

Great lesson. Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Very welcome!

[@francescodefendi3201]

Well, just thank you Guthrie! 🙏🏻 Nice and useful lesson, as always! 👏🏼😊🤟🏼happy for your successful career.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

My pleasure!

[@ian.1935]

Hey man, thank you for dedicating your time to helping us lesser guitarists. I very much appreciate your help, knowledge and wisdom. Look after yourself. 👍🏽

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Happy to help!

[@Otisleevonridge]

Thank you Guthrie you are one of if not the best! Thanks again for sharing!

[@randalltindall7340]

GREAT LESSON GT!!! THANKS FOR POSTING!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Glad you liked it!

[@angusmacdonald9484]

Brilliant as ever Guthrie, watched through this morning (UK) and I've now got it nailed ......Or at least the first passage. Feeling good ! A really nice practical Triad work out with a whole heap of potential directions to build upon. Thanks

[@JerryRhea]

As always, it's a great video. This one seems particularly approachable for rhythm guitar. Thank you, sir.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Many thanks!

[@johnbunker4866]

Just a little update after practicing some this morning. Been watching GT videos for about a month or two, just trying to take it all in. Purchased the mp3 with GT and Uncle Larry. So many good concepts. After the GT, BP vid on Soloing Over The Chord Changes and this one on triads, I downloaded a guitar fretboard pic that shows the notes, and boy, triads and inversions has opened up a new world for me. No more root note dictating where I need to be. It's going to take some time to get it all in, but I like where this is going. The options of where to play on the fretboard has grown exponentially. This is going to change the way I play guitar. Thanks again, GT. Don't give up. There are some of us old guys that it takes a while to catch on.

[@jaygallamore562]

Happy for you to be really hitting your stride and enjoying your community. I was fortunate to have the same experience in another career - good on ya!

[@jeffreywinsor350]

I'm so glad you're having a good run in your career, Guthrie. I love your content, it's very helpful. Hello from St. John's Newfoundland Canada!

[@furiousstyles9528]

Man brother I love your Style, playing,and inspiring videos. Keep your hands on that thang 💪💯🎸🔥🔥🔥. Hope to catch you live some day soon Guthrie 🙏✨✨✨✨☮️🕊️

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I appreciate that!

[@jacklbrt]

I would probably never have known anything about you or Uncle Larry if not for the Rick Beato interview. Then you tuned me into Jedd Hughes. Now you're my go to for musical ideas. Opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks

[@nzprojects]

Nice, just what i need to practice on this rainy day here in Slovenia.😎🎶🎸☮

[@jonrussellhall4333]

Thank you Guthrie Trapp! You are truly an inspiration , just a monster player, and your help is so generous and much appreciated !

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I appreciate that!

[@frankgoodman-buzzholland]

"..like having a cooking show and never Feeding anybody.." that was a Hot one. Improvising on more than guitar. Thanks, Guthrie, for your generosity of Spirit. Hitting the tip jar.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

My pleasure!

[@emilychanfan]

This is a great lesson, Guthrie. The imagination of your triad playing is killer. Side note: Phrase 3 had me thinking you'd break into The Entertainer every time. Side note 2: Any chance you could introduce us to the prop guitars behind you? They sit there, video after video, without saying a word. Give 'em some props, my man😊

[@arifq123]

Super cool. Have you ever thought of playing in Canada? The Horseshoe or Hugh's Room in Toronto, for example?

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Maybe one day!

[@tetsuyama5116]

ThankQ GT ! What an incredibly valuable lesson !!! That wonderful A chord at the 10th/11th frets is now etched in memory !!! GOD bless you for that !!! Cheers from Thailand ! 😎🇺🇸🇹🇭🇺🇸⚓️🎸✅☕️😸🤠😎

[@T289c]

This is HUGE... I am going to practice this one a lot!

[@davidsummerville351]

The 1slide2 3 5 ascending and adding the 6 descending from last week's instruction is really cool. Definitely adding to my bag of tricks. Thanks 😎🤓

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@indifferentuniverse3991]

You’re at the top of your craft GT and it shows. Keep on kill’n it!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Appreciate it!

[@jrflattop]

Catching up after too much time at work. Thanks for the inspirational ideas and for giving your valuable time to us. I won’t waste your effort, so I’ll leave it at that and get strumming. Cheers.

[@stevejcurtis]

Lovely stuff! Such musical and useable licks. Thanks Guthrie 👍

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Glad you liked it!

[@TheFeelButton]

I'm usually up and outta the gutter before the crack of noon! Cheers Guthrie!!

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

I had a P-Bass in hand as the video started... jammed on that A groove! Thank you for the musical insights and wisdom. Enjoy the week ahead and be good to you!

[@howardcoleman4748]

I would of been lucky to have freedom like you but we had to try and survive but if we can live the dream that is everything 🙏 I pray that God will help with your life and direction that it's happening please be safe and remember that when that music really is great we reach the souls of people who need it weather it is playing or helping when are young and strong believe that you can do great work and it's like helping us all grow with happiness thanks Guthrie

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Very kind words. Thank you!

[@JerryRhea]

In Stereo is great!

[@DanRussellGuitar]

Awesome, practicing stuff like this has such a positive impact on your lead playing, helps tighten things up. Cool lesson 🙂

[@Xazertroncharlie]

Hey GT been watching your videos for several years now. You got me doing the major arpeggios with scales stuff. Also I have learned a lot about triads from you. Thank you for going thru this slow. I play but sometimes you lose me. I usually get something even if I can't do everything that you are teaching. I know that it is probably not your thing and you are very busy. Is there any way that you can teach some of your lessons and have someone put tablature of what you are teaching? 😁 Thank you for all of your pro level free KZbin content.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks man. I’m happy to do a private lesson for anything specific. This channel is free.

[@Xazertroncharlie]

@@guthrietrappmusic thank you for responding to me. I don't have good enough Internet for a computer lesson. But I really enjoy your KZbin on my phone. peace

[@ratrugby44]

I’m an actor who plays guitar and holy shit are you telling my story… only with acting… congratulations to you for hanging in there I wish I could jam like you do on the gee tar… ❤ blessings my man.

[@scotyount6226]

Love the look and sound of that Danocaster. With you playing it of course. I have a 1963 Esquire that is a Glaser refinish (body only...same color as yours) living its life out as a Tele...I got it years ago from the great Kenny Vaughan. Keep doing it man....

[@manuelgitarre9656]

Very nice funk triad stuff in here! As allways GT! Big thanks, signed Record has a special place on my Piano! Wish you a great Weekend!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Many thanks!!

[@deanocoican4896]

Hey Guthrie Saw your trio at Underdog on September 23 and it was amazing. I had tickets for the Guitar Party thinking it was on the 23rd. Your playing and tone was off the charts. The dynamics of the band was impeccable. So happy for all you guys. Deano

[@MdriscollIRR]

Awesome stuff, don’t forget the Philly area for some live shows. Maybe the Ardmore Music Hall. Have a great weekend.

[@jbpmusic4900]

Love the triads man! Been practicing them since I've heard you play! Such good practice

[@midnighthour4299]

Keeping guitar playing alive. Modern chart music sucks with its lack of guitar, you are helping bring it back into popularity . I think in 5 to 10 years time you will hear more guitar in the charts and less of the multi producer keyboard crap.

[@reboot110]

One of my absolute wants in life is to ride down to Nashville (from Ct) and get an in person lesson from either U, Tom or both…one day

[@Dlee966]

Man love the breakdown. Another awesome video

[@abnerlook3869]

Thanks again GT

[@h.sinclair]

oh man it's really good right now - y'all the syndicate you, Uncle Larry, Jedd Hughes, but let's not forget Brett Papa, and Ford Thurston, hell Jack Pearson too, well hell Billy Gibbons, , and the Gruen's - what's about it that's nice is no it's not competitive it's a respectful brotherhood, ain't nobody trying to out-do anybody else and everyone is uplifting their colleagues for their own voices, to others. It's a nice model for what all of Murrica could be 🔥

[@DogFoodTunes]

Funk49 celebration - great!

Can you give us a lesson on how to apply the cage system to bass guitar?

[@DarrenPaul1971]

Thanks brother!

[@bk1bennett]

Cool stuff.

[@MotorcityBart]

Dude, I am so happy that I stumbled across an interview with you and Tom on Rick Beto's channel, and I'm happy I did. I'm 53 years old and grew up on Motown and classic rock being from Detroit, Michigan. I didn't start playing until the 90s. I learned the Cowboy chords but never understood theory until I watched you break the caged system down, and I actually understand the concept....I swear it was designed for the entire fretboard with standard tuning being used. I am so excited now that I understand Positions and the shapes....My left hand rarely has to move, everything is right next to each other once you understand the concept and ger the muscle memoey for the shapes, and just map it out...Thanks for the encouragement with your incredible playing...You and Tom throw so much feeling into your playing. I got a buddy from Michigan thats my age that moved to Nashville and was a session guitarists and I seen him playing on television with a band he got hired to play in. Thanks once again for you and Tom doing Rick Beto show.

[@toddlee2755]

Hey GT When you get a little more momentum, bring your stuff down to Oz. I’m sure you’ll be more well received down here. 🎸🎸🏄🏄

[@moreykanner4781]

Thanks so so much for this great lesson! Tying together licks with triad based rhythm is the shit! Maybe do a lesson on single note soloing with the triads?? THANK YOU!

Thanx for my weekly fix, GT. :)

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Happy to help!

[@fabrizioperria7164]

Add a distortion and that's a Nuno riff for you! So thankful for your content and glad that karma pays what's due man! Something i keep wondering though: you clearly set the major focus on triads on your playing, but something is still missing for me and it doesn't click in my head the way i want. It's hard to figure out for me how to get ideas/motifs/themes on which you get to apply triads and any other concept you show to us. I would be interested in how you mentally approach that part, i think that's where you get the edge man (which might involve a bit of secret sauce of you being you i guess).

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Happy to do a private lesson to get into specifics. These lessons are free. Thanks.
