Key Notes For Playing The Blues On Guitar With 1-4-5 Chords

[@scottsalome8206]

Guthrie Scott from Detroit Michigan I started taking lessons on KZbin about 10 years ago. I’m 66 I left you a comment before I cannot tell you how far you have taken me in three weeks. I cannot tell you you have really really really helped me. Thank you thank you thank you

[@angusmacangus3181]

Thanks for the lesson, not just licks but why and how the licks fit into the 1-4-5 blues.

[@munetmbsc]

Very smart in appealing to the masses than weekend warriors. Keep it simple! Much larger market. Targeting the chord shapes is really good info.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Michael James Thanks man! You can thank Brett Papa for that!

[@MrCharlesdross]

Finally a great teacher who can break down the blues. Keep the content coming!!

[@brucestirling8215]

Best guitar teacher on the web - thanks for making the complex simple and sharing your time.

[@lancecass8997]

2 videos in a week Awesome Guthrie. Killer lesson. Getting to the 7, using the triads and shapes, and understanding the why's and how's. That is what your lessons have done for me. Anyone watching this, that is where I was, trying to understand intervallic theory, what the 1, 4, 5 chords even are? And what notes to play over and through a progression? Start at the beginning of Guthrie's videos a few months ago, maybe March, and watch up to this point. I promise, you'll get more out of it than most lessons you pay for online! A huge testimony to how good Guthrie's Artistworks and private lessons must be. I'm Saving for them. He just has a superbly intelligible way of helping you understand this stuff. Thank you so much Guthrie, glad to see you're back.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Wow. Thank you so much man! Means a whole lot. We are just getting started

[@sirfultonbishop]

You’re exactly right! Showing “how” is one thing, showing “why” is when you start really learning! Great lesson! Thanks.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

sir fulton bishop Thanks man!

[@IndyDead]

Love it, GT. Had a few lightbulb moments. 💡🎸📝💻

[@KempoSensei]

These lessons are perfect for me right now. 🤘🏻

[@steelfistIII]

Hey GT! Thanks again. I appreciate your approach and the way you break it down. Please do advertise your services as this is also about making a living. GT your explanation of the CAGE system made me have the "ah ha" moment several months ago. I knew how to play the chord shapes, the arpeggios, and scales, but the way you explained made me understand the relationship. Also the relationship to everything else I've been playing for years. That's why it's important to explain the context fully. For me it boils down to the why, not the how. I will be doing some fishing from now on. Thanks!

[@The_Vict0r]

Thank you again, Guthrie, for your efforts in our guitar education. This stuff with "how to fish instead of simply give the fish" is the coolest thing that could happened on guitar youtube area. Really appreciated for it. Please, keep going! And wish you a good health :)

For anyone wanting to learn lead. This guy is gold. Been in Nashville the last 3 years before covid. Had to cancel my trip this year because of covid... if and when I get back I want to shake your hand brother. Awesome ... if you dont understand where the licks come from then it's just imitating... great information for beginners and others. Cheers from downunder

Man, I love the way you’re so humble and almost reluctant to self promote and asking people to pay for lessons. I mean... private lessons from you would be awesome and you deserve to get paid for sure. It’s just nice to see you’re not shamelessly promoting just for cash. These free lessons are so good too. Modern day guitar legend in my opinion.

Thank you!

I'm starting to see how triads and arpeggios within a key is really the bread and butter, so to speak of melody and harmony as applied to a chord progression or whatever backing is going on. Thanks again my friend.

[@samwheeler-brown7458]

Watching your old videos is a pleasure Guthrie. I’ll be honest I only discovered you a few weeks ago vi Brett Papa’s channel and mate your playing is beautiful, and wonderfully inspiring when applied with your framework. The arpeggios have transformed my noodling so dramatically my completely tone-deaf girlfriend commented on the licks… hoping some real fans might do the same sometime but for the moment you’ve made me very happy and given my playing more structure. My favourite player growing up was always Knopfler too, and I hear his sound so much when you’re given free reign to just play. But you’ve made everything I’ve heard you do sound entirely your own as well. Thanks for all your work bro. When I next get a bump in pay, I’m hitting you up for some lessons. Take care.

[@dougdever4129]

Love the content, Guthrie! You’re my favorite guitar player in the world right now and I feel like I’m learning from you one on one with these videos. Great teacher, too! I’ve learned more from your videos than anyone else on the Tube. Thanks!

[@Qstick333]

Another awesome lesson Guthrie. I thought I'd add one thing that has helped me a lot lately. I've been working on my phrasing and while playing lines, I say the interval as I play it. It has helped me become aware of where the key tones live on the fretboard and to focus on beginning and ending in places that make sense. Thanks for putting so much out there into the world!

[@StephenLewisful]

“I put the maj3rd in there, I couldn’t help it.” That’s the quote of the day. Repetition and even saying the same thing in different ways is what hammers it all home. The people who think you are too wordy either already know this stuff or haven’t learned enough to understand what you are saying. Either move on or hang in there, respectively. “Content is king”

[@lancecass8997]

Ive noticed, on multiple good lessons, there are people complaining about being wordy. It's because they're not here to learn, or they'd be asking for more explanation. They're just trying to hear some awesome shred or chuggs. Lol. Yeah, they're just trying to hear impressive playing, they're not even paying attention to what's being said, or they'd realize it's an instructional video. People are ignorant. They don't realize what golden info is here in this video. Cheers

Ha! Thanks a ton man. It takes a little time but it’ll click for the ones that hang in there.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

String Bender Thanks man!!

[@joepell3352]

Yes sir!!

[@neurons0nfire]

Thanks, Guthrie. These are the concepts that excite me about playing the blues... mixing the chord tones with the minor pentatonic brings it all to life and seems like somewhat of a requirement to making the changes. The moves I need to work on most are from the 4 to the 5 chord and from the 5 to the 1 chord. Need to learn more turnarounds as well. Lots to learn! Good thing it’s so much fun and it sounds so righteous when something clicks. Looking forward to all the upcoming lessons.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Fred Thanks a bunch man! It’ll click!

[@simaogarcia2419]

Hi Guthrie. Awesome lesson man. I got a looper plugin for KZbin and am using it to really breakdown what you're doing, specifically the stuff from 13:12 to about 14:30.
