[@ashleyjamesharding]

If you’re having light bulb moments watching Guthrie’s videos... BOOK A PRIVATE SKYPE LESSON if you can... you will not regret it. I had one last year as a birthday gift from my brothers, recorded the lesson and I’m still learning from it almost a year on! You will not regret it. Hopefully book another one when Guthrie’s back from Africa. I’ve been playing guitar for over 15 years and only since paying attention to what GT is saying have I noticed a huge step up in my playing. Book a lesson... you won’t regret it!

[@fraserwing8744]

@@guthrietrappmusic honest question, and I'm no way trying to give you the gears here (written word can sometimes be hard to discern tone), why do you think so many people (and this is prolific with guitar videos) take several minutes, with filler content, before getting to the listed material? You're in the KZbin game, so I'm asking if there's a method to the madness. And thanks for responding to the initial comment, even though it's all salt and no sugar.

Guthrie Trapp I appreciate you need to make a living, and would love to take a private lesson in the future. (I have family in Nashvile and visit frequently.) Just a suggestion for how your video would be more effective: begin with a taste of what we’ll learn, do your pitch, then get to the meat. Like a song, every good lesson has a beginning, middle and end

[@freecitizen2760]

Guthrie Trapp : Jeez ... a lot of people seem to give you grief. I like your videos and I am always gratified to see how much I see things the way you do. And then you always seem to add in something that I don’t know. Thanks!

Dude you are so cool and such a great player. Buk is my #1 but you are 2 bro! hahah That thing you said about music is supposed to feel good and not be a math problem when your trying to solo. That is pretty much the the best thing I have ever heard said on any channel I follow. That is exactly what I and so many more struggle with. Refreshing to here you openly put that out there. Nail on the head. Lastly, I love how you start as a simple lesson and then at the end lauch the UFO and blow minds. great video sir

[@jonnybeck6723]

"Some folks know about it some don't... Some will learn to shout it some won't..." Thanx for yet another amazing lesson and... cheers

[@williams.1130]

Im confused. You say your focusing on the major 3rd but you also mentioned the minor pentatonic. But doesnt that make it major pentatonic if the major 3rd is in there? Or are you saying your mixing major minor? Or should I focus only on chord tones and not think about pentatonics.

[@Bero70]

Minor blues,Minor pentatonic scale and CAGED system.Can we have a video on just that.Minor pentatonic combined with chord shapes. Verse:Am7-Dm7-Em7 ......Chorus: C5-G5-Am7, F5-G5-E7! How to sound or play melodic like you, and bluesy . Thanks for all videos. You are my favorite player . Great sound, melodic-soulful playing . If you can loop this chord progression and solo over ,and then break down your thinking process. Man,that would be something to watch! Thanks!

[@joshuaartuza8537]

Great video again sir Guthrie 🎸.. Can we hear your vox amp right there? Thanks and good luck on your future musical journeys

Oh sure you can play all fancy, but look you have the angle-plug side of the cord in the amp and the straight-plug in the top of the guitar. How can we trust you?? (J/K! Love your playing and your lessons.)

[@jeremychildress8701]

I really dig your videos and your channel could you give a close up of the fretboard when you are showing the cords and notes

[@rokyobrc1058]

How great it is when u dig the stuff GT preach.I spent tons of hours over his lessons(Triads,Arpegios,caged,scales)..it repeat all over then neck..and yes if u can see shapes core tones(arpegios) u can play it.. then its all about frazing and delivering. I never thought in milion years i would understand Basic Theory and understand this stuff in 9-10month. .All i know from before was Barre chords and open chords. but with a daily practice rutine jump of understanding and seeing shpes was huge. it world apart Like i was blind before , new horizon open for me .sry for my broken english.. Big thanks GT.. ur music and playin stlye pushing me to learn more and more..

Interesting that you're playing the major third of the four chord instead of a flatted third. I usually would play them all minor and avoid the major third when playing the Blues. Nicely done.
