Christmas Cheer and Connecting Chords and Melodies

[@createlovehappy]

We've had housing issues since 2015, and finally this year we got a house and have had our first Christmas tree ever. My 9 year old picked out a good 6-7' Douglas Fir, my wife bought some decorations, I got some lights and our 15 year old baked her amazing Ginger cookies. I built a platform to raise the tree up about a foot to make room for gifts. I got both my kids a drum kit each. I bought a squire strat for the 15 year old and a squire strat mini for the 9 yr old, and found a couple small amps used for them to plug into. It's a very musical Christmas this year and I hope they fall in love with making sounds and playing these instruments. Thanks for all the videos. I look forward to them every week. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to Guthrie and my fellow viewers! ❤

I've been practicing my CAGED triads by the tree. Have a great Christmas with your folks and friends. I really appreciate the channel lessons and stories and always look forward to the next episode! Love that Martin. It really sounds beautiful, I think I caught a bit of Malaguena vibe in the middle of your Christmas jam...

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Merry Christmas Gutrhrie and have a good holiday. For a vacation, look at going to Cuba and take your guitar. Amazing things will happen if you do. I have some friend there to open a few jamming doors, Cuban style if you do go.

As long as that is the only thing flowing out of me we’re ok. Ha. Gross. Sorry.

[@georgebaader9817]

Hey Guthrie!! Thank you for all the great things you are doing in the music community. I had the pleasure of catching your Trio at the Underdog in October and it was an amazing musical experience!! You are a great inspiration and the joy that you project when you play and when you're interacting with your buddies on stage is very special!! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025!!

Merry Christmas Guthrie! I know the YT algorithms want new content every day but I wouldn’t let that “stress” get to you. I think most people here are content with a less regimented schedule. And of course we love the stories so please keep them coming too.

Merry Christmas to you and yours 🙏🏻🤍 I'm not much into holidays in general. I enjoy time with family and friends, though I don't do much decorating. Gotta have a place to store them for the other eleven months of the year 😉 I appreciate the lessons and insights to the guitar and fretboard. Every video makes more sense, and then it feels like I wander off into the weeds and get lost/ distracted. Not giving up, mind you. I'll get it someday Be good to you 🙏🏻🤍

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Keep it up, you’ll get there! It’s all about the journey.

❤❤ You keep on telling that story about your experiences with Jerry douglas. Mr. Gadd is one of my very favorite drummers, I’ve seen him many many times with many many beautiful artists.. PS we Met Art G after the show Friday night waiting to shake hands with Tom L O L. PS PS we got to meet young Tom and we saw that cell phone going off in your pocket on stage once it was safe and sound

Merry Christmas Guthrie! I did a livestream tonight on TikTok with a 335 and a looper. I had 750 viewers. I don’t think they knew my tune “Third Rate Romance” lol.

[@Tipisbored]

Merry Christmas Guthrie...hope Santa is kind to you the year! I have been trying to wrap my fingers around your tune "Commodity"...and while playing the main melody real slow the melody morphed into the melody of the old New Years Eve fav..."Auld Lang Syne". Best wishes to your family and friends this season and Thank You for doing what you do with class and a down to earth manner. You are much appreciated.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

That's a great observation about "Commodity"! Thanks for the kind words!

Your guitar skills are always appreciated. 👍👍👍 PS: Ok, I gotta ask: WTF is "chicken salmon?!" Is it anything like "chicken pickin'" or is it more like "chicken fried grits?" (Or "chicken fried oatmeal & pea soup.") Anyway, I was just wonderin' 'bout that, cuz ya said it.
