Learn To Master The Fretboard With Guthrie Trapp - Guitar Lesson - Fusing CAGED Chords And Scales

[@wchphoto]

I've watched this 3 times now and I get more and more out of it each time. As Guthrie says near the end, "It's impossible not to get better!" Thanks for having him drop by, Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Bill!

[@deadpatriot8047]

My God this dude is from another planet... The way he plays I can never predict where he's going... So good thanks fellas

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah he pretty much is an endless supply of ideas!

[@marksc1929]

@@BrettPapa ...wish to God I could see the fretboard as he does...

[@dicktwitchy]

That comment definitely nails it!

[@pierretombale3745]

His trick is maybe switching in visual mode when he have no inspiration. this switching causes a kind of break, and then, stimulates the emergence of new ideas. Any trick is good for breaking Our old unconscious vocabulary

[@guthrietrappmusic]

The trick is to get “switching into visual mode” out of the way early on so you can focus on making music and not thinking. There’s no shortcuts. Spending time on the fundamentals now will reap huge benefits in the near future. The light bulb will go on for sure.

[@ryanburch3092]

Every musical key consists of seven notes. The key of E major consists of these seven notes: E F# G# A B C# D# The chords in the key of E major are as follows: E major chord consists of the notes, E - G# - B F# minor chord consists of the notes, F# - A - C# G# minor chord contains the notes, G# - B - D# A major chord contains the notes, A - C# - E B major chord contains the notes, B - D# - F# C# minor chord consists of the notes, C# - E - G# D# diminished chord consists of the notes, D# - F# - A What do you notice? Every single Chord in the Key of E major is made of some combination of three notes from the key. What the lesson is trying to teach you is when the rhythm guitarist is playing one of those chords, the player soloing should play the notes of that chord. So if the rhythm guitar player is playing the E major chord, the soloist should focus on the notes E, G# and B. When the rhythm player then changes chords to the A major chord, the soloist should focus on the notes A, C#, E. Let's take it one step further - The solo player can add spice by adding other notes from the key but they should still focus on the chord notes. So if the rhythm guitarist is playing the E major chord, the soloist should continue to focus on the notes that make up the E major chord (E, G#, B) but the soloist can also add in the other notes from the key ( F# A C# D# ). The trick is to focus on the notes that make up the E major chord, and throw in other notes from the key sporadically. If the rhythm guitarist then started playing the A major chord, focus on the notes that make it up (A - C# - E) but keep in mind you can add the other notes from the key as well (F# G# B D#) to add more flavor. If you can dedicate the time to memorize all of the notes in the popular keys, what notes make up each chord in those keys, and where those notes are on the fretboard, you'll be better off than 99% of guitarists who all just think in shapes and hit a lifelong plateau. (Which happened to me for a long time)

[@ScottBernadot]

You're awesome for taking the time to explain this. Thank you!

[@BrettPapa]

Totally agree! Makes a huge difference.

[@jmorra]

I will get busy!!

[@nightshifts1994]

I don't understand how the 3rd chord is a G# Major? and a G#7 at that. Can you help me out with this? I thought only the 5 could be a Dominant7 chord.

[@nightshifts1994]

@the supernatural thanks for the reply. If the key of EMaj is: E, F#m, G#m, A, B, C#m, D#° And the 7th chords diatonically are: Emaj7, F#min7, G#min7, Amaj7, B7, C#min7, D#min7(b5) Then my question is how does a dominant 7th chord fit over the 3 and still be in the key of Emaj? I agree if it sounds good it is good. I was just curious if was missing something.

[@hermanmelville3871]

This man plays like an angel.

[@chazzer56]

I love how Brett Papa, who by the way, is no slouch at the guitar, steps back to let Guthrie shine! These two are among my favourite guitarists doing the KZbin thing today.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep I love just chillin when I am around Guthrie he is terrifying so I figure why not just let him do his thing.

[@alchemysticgoldmind4164]

Brett has Class..Nice playing

[@dillonturner9627]

I have learned more by just watching this video than I have in 6 months. Thank you thank you

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@PNGtwentyfour]

CAGED makes sense now. I got the forms, but how it unlocks the fretboard just clicked. What a monster player!

[@christianpalladino1639]

I don't think there's a better guitarist alive today! Absolutely amazing feel, technique and melody. Wow, incredible. Thank you Guthrie and great lesson Papa

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah he is pretty freakin amazing! Thanks for tuning in!

[@landon.cunningham]

Thank you guys for doing this. I'm really glad you've met and become friends. There are a lot of great players out there but when I watch Guthrie play I see the player I'd like to aspire to be especially with this style of just chill playing but being able to command the fret-board and bend it to my will. Playing super fast is cool - but this - this is awesome. I'd love to see more.

[@BrettPapa]

More on the way! Thanks for watching!

[@chrohm]

this is like sitting in a room with someone really good showing you the little things that really free up your playing and gives ideas.... love your vids man, this approach is gold

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

I am in awe of that beginning jam, gentlemen. If you could record a record of that, I could listen to it all day. As unlearned as I am in music theory, I think it all comes down to playing around chord changes, which is what *I think* this lesson is about. Man, such amazing playing. Brilliant vid!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching!

[@nevillegoddard8817]

Me too mate it is stunning

[@jimkostan9932]

U don't need to be a expert at theory.Ur right this is showing how to play around chord changes...

[@ron3676]

KNOWING Cord shapes in different area's on the fretboard,,,that's the key FIRST. ALSO YOU HAVE TO BE A GOOD IMPROVISER,,,THAT'S WHAT GUTHRIE WAS DOING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO. THANKS PAPA GREAT SHOW. - RJ

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

[@VonBluesman]

I have bought all of your programs Papa, and Guthrie I signed up with Artist Works on a 3 instructor program and got hammered for several months before realizing I was paying full price instead of the discounted price, they cancelled my subscription but not before I got all the way through your course. They have sense offered a discounted price so I might sign back up. I wish I could afford the Skype Lessons. Papa please hustle and bust your tail to keep the family and the Mrs. HAPPY to be in Nashville. I pray everything works out for ya’ll. It took a lot of faith to make the move, I am proud of you. GOD bless ya’ll.

[@kanapkalol]

i want to thank you so much for these lessons. ive been playing the guitar for many years and consider myself a rather advanced player who found some of these things out but got stuck pretty badly at one point. noone could really answer me the question: "how do you play solos?". i was learning the shapes with blind eyes, mechanically, not visualizing the applications, and hated it... now I found your videos which fit my playing level perfectly.. I want to thank you, Papa, for your great didactical talent to break the fretboard down to shapes and - above all - present the applications of them! and i want to thank you, Guthrie, for your immensely melodic playing. you've just become one of my favorite players since you mix blues pentatonic and jazzy scales with major 7ths and 2nds I love so much - and you dont get "overjazzed" and abstract. I was looking for soloing like this for a long time and the fact that you simply explain this stuff in such and easy way is a huge gift for me. enough talking, going to grab the guitar!

[@tonyleary684]

Nuclear melody - how, how, how! Such a lovely, humble guy who is so enthusiastic to share his knowledge. A true musical genius.

[@ericblaich8228]

So So Awesome !!!!! Brett the way you ask the questions in relation to how Guthrie is seeing the fretboard and his progression's is exactly what we all need to know. You have a great interview style and rapport with your guests, much better than others on KZbin. Rock On Papa !!! Ps. Guthrie is such a complete player and generous with his knowledge . Well done !!!!!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnl.6930]

eric blaich Totally agree with each of your comments about both great teachers!!!

[@BluegrassPOV]

Yes, thank you, Brett! Thanks for wrangling him and asking the questions we all wanted to know!

[@slowfinger2]

What Guthrie says about learning the chords and scales around them is so true, and better than any lesson. My playing vastly improved after getting into the CAGED thing and being able to see everything in any position. Those triads he showed at the end proves it. LOL I've still got a lot to learn.

[@michaelavila5564]

Started playing guitar at 13; I'm 36 now and find that your vids have taught me more in the last year than any other avenue before. Many thanks for the knowledge!

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Glad they are helping you out!

[@koho]

This is *tremendous.* I'm just starting to "see" the chord shapes and scales and this is like looking behind the magician's curtain. A key reason this lesson/demo works so well is Papa does such a great job leading Guthrie through bite-sized examples. Thanks both!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for watching!

[@jonathanogden746]

4:30 Guthrie is linking the Chord as the foundation, the Pentatonic as the framing, then the full (major) Scale as the drywall. So 1) learn the same Chord in the five different CAGED shapes up and down the fretboard, 2) learn the pentatonic box shape for that CAGED chord shape up and down the fretboard. then mentally move from the chord to the pentatonic box playing a melody without shifting your hand. Stay in the same position, just play the chord, then the pentatonic box, then the chord again. 3) learn the full (major or minor) scale for each CAGED chord in that position. 4) Then the mental shift happens when you play the chord on beat one, next play the pentatonic box, then play the full scale, then finish with the chord, in the same fret position. 5) finally, shift to the same chord in a different position with the next CAGED shape and repeat the pentatonic box and full scale melodic playing.

[@charlesdelacruz7479]

22:32 just kept listening 🎧 🎶 over and over thank you. Great end of a shift ! Just starting to get into the world of guitar 🎸. How can I not be inspired to continue my education after listening to that ?! Cheers !

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear Charles! Thanks for checking it out!

[@JeremyFerry]

Fantastic lesson! I've been "playing" guitar for almost 30 years now and I discovered this exact concept about 5 years ago. My playing has improved more in the last 5 years than in the 25 before. I can't stress enough how right Guthrie is about this. Learn the CAGED chords all the way up the neck, know the major scale in each of those positions and be able to arpeggiate the chords. Boom!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep I agree! Same exact thing happened to me!

[@Sam-w9des]

Fender and Gibson always sound perfect together no matter the position!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep its a good combo! Thanks for tuning in!

[@IamtheActionman]

At 27:10 ish is the most valuable insight I've ever heard. Simple and extremely effective.

[@ericantoszewski34]

Understatement of the year...lol

[@julschong]

That bit was unreal. Makes it look so simple but so amazing to see what’s hopefully possible by dedicating proper practice to learning those three note triads all within the sake scale shape.

[@robertrichter7702]

This is absolutely beautiful playing the playing is as beautiful as your Gibson guitar which is breathtaking.. I definitely will watch this until I can do these licks I love this style of playing .. thanks so much for the great lessons Guthrie Trapp

[@18echosf]

Guthrie’s playing at the end was simply outstanding.........super tasteful and an incredible feel. He’s quickly becoming a favorite!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep he is awesome!

[@johncatalano8704]

Fantastic video,,. you guys are easy to watch, not repetitive and your discussions are very laid back & extremely informative. After 20 + years of playing guitar, I just started understanding the caged system and major scale voicing. The best door thats opened for my playing in decades thanks to you guys. Definitely the type of atmosphere I feel comfortable continuing guitar. Keep them coming & all the best in the New Year !

[@mattblack2077]

This way of thinking is beginning to have a tremendous effect on how I view playing. I've been trapped in pentatonics for years, and devised an exercise that I thought would help me, where I would stay in the same spot, but play the corresponding pentatonic scale for each chord, like 4th position for first chord, stay in the same place and play 3rd position (or whatever position it would be) for the next chord, not realizing all I am doing is trying to force a key change over a chord change. I could hear it wasn't right, and man, was I way off. So thankful for these resources.

[@billyjoechurchwell9988]

I just came across this video for the third time and I'm still amazed. Great interview Brett! Guthrie Trapp is the best! And he answers his email! 👍

[@BrettPapa]

Yep. Guthrie is a class act and an amazing talent!

[@KitchenGuitarist]

This is simply one of the best guitar videos ever recorded!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@jordancook1668]

This is a good video to watch in case you think you’re getting pretty decent on guitar...makes you realize you’re still a rank beginner. Guitar is one of those things where the more you learn, the more you realize how much there is to learn. Maybe that’s why it’s so addictive. Seriously though, imagine how many hours this guy has played to be able to visualize the way he does and make it look that easy.

[@BrettPapa]

A million hours haha! He is really amazing and has licks like that for years! Thanks for watching!

[@benperry490]

Love this chord progression its one that really calls to my musical sense and I had probably heard it thousands of times in different iterations/keys through my 30 + years of playing but had never learned it before today, and who in the hell are the 14 people that voted thumbs down on this? Really?...especially since it's top-level free instruction???

[@BrettPapa]

Haha, you can't please them all! It's always great to hear someone like Guthrie to take a common chord progression and spice it up! Thanks for watching!

[@lmugarte]

Fantastic Papa! I have been played for 35 years and this is the most clear and fundamental guitar lesson that I’ve ever seen! Great!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked the video!

[@marksc1929]

..been a huge Guthrie Trapp fan for several years...one of the most tasteful players out there....thx Brett

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome!

[@BollocksUtwat]

Gotta be honest Papa, having been circulating through youtube videos for months now looking to find the push to the next stage of development I know I have in me but have yet to get to, the stuff you've done with Guthrie has been the most insightful anywhere. I was starting and stopping learning new songs cause it was just more repetition of stuff where I'm doing it rote and running into the same blocks when I start trying to tinker with it liek any musician has to when they play a cover unless you wanna sound like everyone else. Same pentatonic ideas, same recycled poor man's Hendrix stuff but without the harmonic understanding to apply it as well as the man did himself. Just after watching these videos a number of times and going and fiddling with the concepts has produced the most satisfying playing I've done this year. Its pushing the fog away and its very exciting. In general your collab videos with great artists have been excellent. Hope you can get Guthrie in again.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you like the vids! Guthrie is coming in soon. We just talk the other day about it. Its gonna be awesome!!!

[@stevethordarson5198]

Im a guitar guy. This is one of the best solos I have ever heard. Wow. Thank you!!!

Thanks Robert! Glad you liked it!

Good to see you guys together again

[@mikeburstein7755]

Brett, THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE YOU HAVE EVER DONE!!!!!!!! I needed to watch this and learn. The CAGED really clicks now. Expecting bigger and better things from ya. LOL!! GREAT JOB !!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! More to come. I have a CAGED course coming out next week. Great place to start and then when you got it down Guthrie will take it to crazy town if you are ready! Thanks for watching!

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

I was in the other room when I heard this mouth watering, jaw dropping sound coming from my laptop because I left youtube running on. What the hell was that? So many tasty licks lined up one after another after another. That was just beautiful. Thank you so much for that.

[@Snostrebla1]

Had to watch this again. What make him so good is his dynamics. This is something I don't ever see talked about really. He perfectly chooses which notes to play loudly and which to play softly. Also, when to speed it up to get up on the beat and then when to lay back. A person could have the tabs to these solos but it would take a lot of years to develop those dynamics as good as Guthrie.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep, agreed!

[@magicdaveable]

Best and most useful application of harmony theory ever. Thanks.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it!

[@SweetSpotSC]

I love Guthrie’s playing and teaching style. He is so right about visualizing the fretboard in chord shapes. It takes effort and time but it’s totally changed my ability to play the guitar. Thank you for having Guthrie on and I hope to see him again.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out! More coming soon!

[@redstrat1234]

Absolutely - know all of the chord shapes in all positions, hit the chord tones some and some wee bits of scales and you're half way to very melodic soloing. Tim Pierce uses chord tones a lot too. I find that backing tracks are invaluable for this. I use Band in a Box to feed in chord progressions and can play it back in any of the inbuilt styles. (I had BIAB for years and never knew what really to do with it lol)

[@campparsonssundayschool7844]

The late jazzer, Tal Farlow, played improv over scales within chord shapes. Great instructional vid, guys.

[@VonBluesman]

Sounding fantastic men. Guthrie I got so close to signing up at ArtistWorks for lessons when they ran the Black Friday discount, hopefully they will run it again. I have limited funds, blame it on PapaStache, I spent big money with him on his Hendrix, Rock and Blues, Rock, Target notes, etc. courses. LOL

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! You are the best!

[@therustyspoke]

[@BrettPapa]

[@No1Particular]

If u ever feel down about where you're at in your guitar education and where it's going, just watch this. Sure to motivate. Love that chord progression. Thank you both!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks man!

[@markrodgers2976]

P.S. I hear what you guys are saying (on this, and other vids), but i needed this stuff when I was 16, or 26, not 56, LOL!!! The cold hard reality is that my brain just doesn't absorb and apply much of this stuff, at anywhere near the same level it (kinda) did when i was younger. The expression that comes to mind is, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" (or, "you can't put lipstick on a pig", LOL!!) I still pick up little bits and pieces here and there, but in my case, we'd basically be talking about re-inventing the wheel, and that simply ain't happening. But still dig these videos, I'll keep watching, even though I'm running way behind , gasping for breath, yelling, "Hey guys, wait up!!!!" :D

[@randybock82]

GT is the real deal.Every once in a while an awesome player comes down the road! Wow!!! That was very helpful how he showed the E chord shapes up the neck. It can be adapted to any key.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep I have been around him and seen him play so many times and he never doesn't amaze me. Absolute beast on the guitar.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching! More Guthrie coming soon!

[@michaeldoherty5452]

I had a lesson with Guthrie last week, and it totally changed how I approach looking at the guitar. I have to be honest, my head hurt for 2 days after it, just trying to absorb/digest everything. But now that I've recovered, what he teaches is the best way I've ever encountered for a way to looking at, and playing. Best part is the lesson was recorded, so now I can go back and revisit the exercises, tips, knowledge, and my own awful playing anytime I like. Bottom line -- GT is as good as it gets, and money well spent on my part. And yes, this video's chord progression was used! :)

[@BrettPapa]

For sure! His private lessons are great! His courses are great too.

And in a while, yes, I will come back to this again and do the whole thing over again, and maybe even again. Excessive? ha ha ha Oh well... it's just that good! ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ let these comments be an indicator for anyone considering purchasing lessons from these two rocket scientists. uhhh ok maybe guitar scientists, they've got it "going on" and it'll be your best investment in learning guitar and rocketing you into another level for sure!

I love this video it helps so much. to hear two people talking about concepts in between to make them sink in good. I always come back to this video to steer me into the right direction of learning the guitar the right way. Would be cool if you guys can make another video talking about the licks in between the chord shapes or the path followed to get to the next triad/chord shape and the thinking behind it. Thanks a lot

Sure thing! Good idea. We are getting together soon!

Guthrie just being Guthrie - *STUNNING!!* One person forgot to turn their Beltone hearing aid up, and down voted the video. *lol* Also, I just signed up for (12) months access to Guthrie's 'ArtistWorks.com' course, and I *highly* recommend it!! I got it using the 'Black Friday' discount code (35% discount), and I suspect they'll offer another huge discount at Christmas, but I don't know that for sure.

Best piece of advice in the video happens around the 8:57 mark, listen up beginners. “Everything depends on the song.” You can’t just copy an A lick from a video and use it over every A chord in every song. The song determines everything. What lick is right for the song? That’s all that matters. Period.

[@BrettPapa]

Very true!

He went pure nasty the second time around at about 22 min. I hope people understand the underlying knowledge he possesses of how the chords apply relative to the major scale of the specific key he is playing in and how his playing style truly encompasses a perfect balance of each along side with many other musical techniques and qualities that accent it. I can’t stop watching this vid. Great stuff

Great opening jam with one of the best guitar teachers on the internet - Guthrie Trapp! Thanks Papastache - I'm not the only one who hates where the volume knob on stratocasters is I see...

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for checking it out!

Fine playing guys. Lovely lesson and so different from the usual pentatonic soloing.

I just started watching Guthrie's videos. He makes a lot of sense. A beast of a player! I keep getting a little at a time. I may get there one day if I live long enough. lol Of course I'd never get anywhere as good as Guthrie, but I may be able to play notes from the chords if I can learn where the important notes are within the chord shapes and practice a lot.

[@BrettPapa]

Keep it up! He has practiced for thousands and thousands of hours and played hundreds of shows. He has been at it day and night since he was a young kid.
