"Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix for Guitar

[@svarthelikoptern]

COVID19 really sucks, but you just gotta keep on chuggin' along. This is what we do. This is what we love. And on a positive note, it's great fuel for the blues. God bless and stay safe.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks man!!

[@raymster8450]

Mr. GT, Old retired guy here, living off of free guitar learning videos on KZbin. Thanks so much for sharing "solid gold" content!

[@GIBKEL]

Jimi has this unique way of these baseline riffs that outline his beautiful melody. He really was romantic when he wasn’t tearing the house down and setting it fire.

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

I have been playing that song for 50 years , but I learned more about the proper way to play it in the last 2 minutes that I learned in all those 50 years ! Thanks , Man !

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Awesome! Thanks man!

[@kennywally]

Leaving the sixth out of the C major pentatonic is a little piece of gold. It’s these little insights that really make you a great player. Thank you, Guthrie.

[@gmareng1453]

Guthrie is not just a great guitar player and teacher, but also a very nice person. I'm inspired by his guitar playing. Someday, I will take a lesson from him. I hope people will realize that his lessons are more meaningful than just noodling around and flashy licks that you can't remember after watching. Guthrie's explanation is very clear and easy to remember. Thanks, Guthrie for sharing your gift.

[@philbloomfield3173]

I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years and I honestly feel like I’ve learned more from you in the last month or so than I’ve learnt in at least the last 10 years. thanks. I Need to get out to Nashville when all this is over just to see you play. 👍

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Great! Thanks man!

[@nathanprofitt3224]

I’m glad you stopped and introduced the guitar for a moment!!! Do more of that! I enjoy your lessons! Thank you and stay safe!

[@thenoodler]

The one lesson is better than 99.9% of all the guitar content on KZbin. Just the concepts and how to apply them, if you know the basic caged chords and major scale, and pentatonic shapes (maj/min), then this is an absolute gold mine of information. Not to mention applied to one of the most iconic songs in the history of rock music. I've gotten so much out of this, I can't thank you enough.

[@tonydeAraujo]

Back in 2010 I lost my business and everything with it, including my collection of guitars. I thought it was the end of the world as I lost my entity. Then, within time, I learned that life goes on and, if we are creative and do not lose faith, we reinvent ourselves again. I became an author and a teacher. If, hypothetically, all this was a nightmare and I woke up back in 2010, I think I would be disappointed. My new life is a blessing, once I got used to it, with no pressure and plenty of rewards for my efforts. Every 15 years or so, we must make a change, or the change will be made for us. Great playing and thanks for the lesson!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Wise words right there. Thanks so much for that. Take care!

[@jonstephenson5436]

You’re definitely not alone in the ups and downs! Some days I’m so grateful to get outta bed, and have extra time to play, and practice things I usually wouldn’t, and some days I’d rather just stay there. If it makes you feel better, this video made my day a little better, and I’m sure others feel the same way. I’ll be joining you on artist works soon!

Don't worry, man. When the pandemic ends, live music is going to explode back on the scene and I can't wait. I, for one, will be even more willing than before to drive 100's of miles to see live performances - especially at small clubs. Everybody's been stuck at home watching guitar players like yourself and learning of new names and talents which they can't wait to track down and see live.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I love that positive attitude man! I sure hope so.

[@munetmbsc]

You definitely inspire me. I'm hunkered down in deep south, South Carolina with my elderly inlaws who don't have any music in their house and it's maddening. Just seeing and hearing where your ears and experience take you around the fret board with "Hey Joe" gives me a curiously joyful feeling. Keep your head up! This too will pass. Don't forget where your talent ultimately comes from and don't loose your joy. Prayer helps. God is always with you and for you.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks so much man. Means a lot.

[@knpepper6409]

GT, this stuff is gold, no one I've seen on Y/T articulates the scale/chord relationship quite this well, without these it's just damn hard yakka. We're so lucky to have your input here, I've learned so much from your video lessons they're almost priceless. Just wish I could play 1/2 as well as you do. Best regards from New Zealand.

I'm pretty well educated in music theory but knowing theory has it's limitations. Knowing how to use it when improvising on a guitar is a whole other thing and you Guthrie are the best I've ever seen when it comes to using practical theory to improvise a solo. I've learned so much from you about improvising. You've given me an amazing gift. With every video of yours that I watch, I get better and better at playing the music that's in my head and being able to do that in real time is the best gift a musician could ever receive.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Wow. Thanks a ton man! That means a whole lot to me.

Good to see you brother. We are all in the same bucket. I just met up with my great friend who is a monitor engineer for Framton, Ringo and a couple other big acts... He came out here to Colorado for a couple weeks and climbed a few mountains... I was able to catch up with him for a few hours and it was really good for both of us. Musicians have been devastated by this "break in the action" probably worse than just about any segment. Most are living gig to gig and can't lean on waiting tables, or working part time because all those gigs are jacked up too. Stay as positive as you can. We are going to get back to "normal" before the year is over. Take care and have a great visit with your family and friends.

It's just as difficult for us as fans ( who also play a bit of geetar). I've been going to shows since the mid 90's and this might be the first summer that I've not been able to go to shows. The last show I saw was Phish @MSG for their New Years Run!!! It's awesome to get to see some of.my favorite artist doing some online streams as well as releasing new music. I was looking forward to spending this summer between Dead & Co., Being 25 years since Jerry passed, as well as Phish tour, celebrating my 200th show seeing them as well. Not to mention all the other music we catch along the way. Missing my tribe, the sunsets behind the stages, late night 🌙 jam sessions, New friends and family. It's all much more, these bands and songs have been the soundtrack of my life. Its, at times, the only times I get to see certain friends across the country. Music changed my life. Never did I think I would still be doing this 25 years later. While my friends were playing Nintendo and such, I was listening to albums, while they were into hair bands or boy bands, I was discovering Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and the Grateful Dead! Just know Guthrie, us fans miss it as much as you do, and hopefully one day soon I'll be blessed to come and see you play. Rock 🎸on

You are THE inspiration, Guthrie ! Somehow this is the positive side of the lockdown, that fascinating musicians like you share their ideas and wisdom with us, who are not at the same level of musicianship (..by far). So we can at least work during this strange time to improve our guitar playing and to better understand all the thinking behind playing such beautiful lines. So I say " Hey Guthrie, you made my day with this interpretation of Hey Joe" ! Thanks for sharing your incredible know-how with us !

Hi Guthrie, thanks for being honest and wearing your heart on your sleeve. I’m sorry to hear you have been struggling on and off, it’s hard to keep motivated and plodding ahead in these crazy times. Nashville must be crying right now, but things will improve and the life and vitality will return, it’ll just take time. We are in Stage 4 lockdown in Melbourne and it sucks, no nightlife and no live music and worst of all me and my mates can’t jam. Your videos are so inspiring and motivational to us all in the guitar community, I hope you realise the hope you bring to us all and the love that is returned to you.
