Blues Chord Voicings and The Real Truth!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks so much to all of you for these amazing comments.. means the world to me. Sorry for the audio cut out on the “City Hall” clip. Must have been an iMovie glitch. Not sure.

[@donshekn9114]

Guthrie Taggart!

[@afri-dancer9967]

The coolest thing is that your thought and words are as enjoyable to hear as your music.

[@davidtang1]

Any day I get a notification that Guthrie has released a new video... Is a day I know I will have learned something new.

[@MichaelAntus]

Happy Birthday Guthrie; Peace and Good Health to You and Yours...

[@aaronlarsen7447]

I compose songs and been teaching myself a long time.. There was no You Tube . We didn't have digital tuners. Maybe a pitch pipe. Nobody knew what they were doing. Only the last few years with You Tube has helped me. I appreciate it.

[@ezgo11]

Your absolutely correct!

[@danross146]

All of us should be moved not only by the incredible skill but also by the tireless generosity. Nobody GIVES more than Guthrie! Love you, brother!

Happy Birthday, brother!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thank you!

[@jaycheek254]

Dude, automatically, this just changed my playing. I use the chords you demonstrated all the time but I never connected the lines you just showed. I turned on the backing track in Bb and instantly, staying within the patterns, my solos sound so melodic, and everything has changed. I'm so excited. Thank you.

Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for sharing part of your life with us.

[@ClinToneCust23]

I’ve watched the opening of this video about 7 or 8 times.. Guthrie it’s absolutely beautiful .. it’s emotional and to be honest it touches my soul. It’s melancholy but kind spirited.. one of the best tunes I’ve ever heard next to feeling bad blues by Ry Cooder.. it touched me brother.

[@kilterkaos1]

I can tell you this, you guys are getting through to us out here. Some of the guys you mentioned playing with are some of the same guys that are a part of the KZbin community I am learning from. I know I’m speaking for a lot of us, we’re getting better. I know I am. Thanks for the time you spend putting these lessons together. A Big Thank You!

[@scottpeterson9609]

Happy Birthday to you Guthrie, many more to come. Best wishes......

[@2Fat2Skate]

Guthrie you are literally the living breathing embodiment of what anyone that ever picks up a guitar aspires to be. What a gift you have man - its otherworldly. Truly inspiring.

[@jimmccanna]

Thanks from an old guy who is still learning to learn.

[@johnpayne3134]

I'm glad I live in a world that allows you to do what you were born to do. You are marvelous.

Wow! What an absolutely beautiful tone you have in your hands!😮‍💨💪🙌🙏🌅💙

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Wow, thank you!

[@Zach-Rosicka]

@@guthrietrappmusic absolutely! I sat in and jammed with you about 14-15 years ago when you were sitting in with our friends Dread Clampitt. Had a blast, it was such an honor. You said some of the stuff I was doing reminded you of Joe B. I’m a big Bonamassa fan and opened up for him around 2005 in Austin. I’ll never forget that moment sharing music with you and hope I have to honor again in the future, but I’ll get to work so I can speak better on the instrument. I don’t play much with all the time invested in my family and work, but you RE inspired me with this knowledge and playing you shared!

Beautiful playing! I have a very similar guitar. It’s a 1936 Carson Robison made by Gibson in Kalamazoo. It is the lightest and most resonant acoustic I’ve ever played.

[@martivaughan6382]

Guthrie, thank you for all you do and I wish you a fantastic birthday. If only words could translate the inspiration and knowledge you impart to older rock guys like me that you’ve helped to connect the dots to some of the mysteries of music, I thank you. You are so blessed with talent and drive, you are simply amazing to me. Only thing is that I wish I had found someone as gifted as you back in the seventies. Thank you so much, from a faithful student…You are the best!!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Wow, thank you. Means a lot for sure. I’m just glad it’s helping… I’m learning a lot also 😎

[@utahprepper8925]

Guthrie, I have to say - I've been playing over 50 years and consider myself fairly accomplished as a player. But just about every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. It might just be a little tidbit here and there, but still - I learn something new. I appreciate that.

[@OehlJim]

Always amazing! Sure wish I had run into you 50 years ago!

[@BKERSC]

That was the most awesome intro song! They are all so great, but that one! Wish I could get tab; note for note, but I will study the intro progression chords. Thanks for all your videos, btw! Best from Seattle on day after your birthday.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks a bunch, man! All these intros for the most part are improv. There might not be a consistent progression. Thanks again!

[@BKERSC]

​Hi, I misspoke…progression is too simplistic, I just study what you do. Honestly, I started watching you last year or so, and you have inspired me more than any other guitarist, teacher, etc. Yotube is funny, I spend so much time with your videos, feel like I know ya. But all one sided! To that end, if you ever find you and your family out it in the PNW and need anything, you have a friend here

[@MichaelWLietz]

Man, this video came up on my auto-play while I was doing something else and your opening playing stopped me dead in my tracks. Then I got deja vu because the exact same thing has happened to me at least a couple times before. Thank you so much for all you do. You've got the Midas Touch on that ol' six string, brother

[@CM-du9ne]

Guthrie…I was just visiting Nashville weekend of March 24 and while at dinner I decided to see if by chance you were playing live anywhere that night (same night as John Mayer playing at the Bridgestone), and there it was…Guthrie Trapp at Rudy’s Jazz Room starting at 11pm. The wife was cool with staying up and I booked it by pure chance! Had a ball. You were amazing. I was going to come up and introduce myself and shake your hand but figured I’d let you be. Amazing playing. Tim Marks (bass) and Jordan Pearlson (drums) were awesome. You were funny as hell on stage. Thank you for what you do and you are an amazing player bro.
