The Blues! 5 of my favorite licks and ideas you can USE for soulful guitar playing.

[@jimduffy9773]

I love your sound, but you're too far ahead of me. You don't elaborate enough. I'm trying to see which triad or chord you're playing and you are already off to an octave higher. I'll get there someday and check my progress by coming back to see if I can follow better.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Ok. I want you to think hard about something here for me. How would you feel if I criticized what you do for a living after doing what ever that is for free? This is a grateful group we have here. Me included. Thanks for watching!

@@guthrietrappmusic the best lessons always challenge you, and we have countless videos and licks from you to learn from. It's really the ultimate gift!

Love your playing and style as well, but would also love if at least occasionally you zoomed the camera in on the neck. There is a lot of FREE gold here and would be so grateful to pick up as many nuggets as possible. Thanks.

Man that was awesome.....

Thanks Guthrie I’ll be 79 next month I’ve stuck with the caged and all of your other suggestions. It’s really starting to pay off I’m picking up on things faster and I’m really starting to know my fret board. Thanks again

I’ve been working at this for 6 years

If I ever get to Nashville I want to shake Yours and Buks hands for all the inspiration you guys have gave me and many others. Thx Guthrie. Awesome.

Rainy day here in CLE as well. Glad I checked in today. Great as always.

[@softailspringer9915]

Even more amazing than his effortless mastery of the neck is the well-spring of never ending ideas that GT has at his command! From listening to Guthrie’s gospel of connecting and playing between chord shapes (and learning fragmented shapes up and down) I feel like he has cracked the code for me. Now I understand what fretboard freedom really means! It takes time and work but it’s well worth it. Thank you, GT!

[@laurentvielcanet3702]

Not sure my all life would be enough to study all the licks you play in the intro! Incredible stuff. Thank's for all those ideas...

[@tonyledbetter1220]

You should do a blues course Guthrie..

[@harrymorris9406]

I went back several years on your channel, it’s always about solid voice leading, chord shapes and massive musicality. You make even the complex stuff accessible - it’s not rocket science but it definitely ain’t easy. Thanks for demystifying some of the best musical ideas anywhere! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I guess I'm one of your out-of-towners . . . thank you for chatting with Susan and me on a Monday night in September. We really enjoyed the scene at the Underdog.

Keep jamming!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

You're very welcome!

[@markchristopher2373]

Thanks, wonderful sharing yet again!

[@russtyv1722]

I really enjoyed this lesson. A lot of immediately useful licks that are easy to play but really effective and which I have already incorporated into my playing. I also think that you have put in just the right amount of theory. Enough so that you learn why the licks work but not so much that is overwhelming. Very well done.

[@frankhughes5702]

I've been watching your channel for a few months now and I'm really inspired by your playing and your gift for teaching guitar. The way you teach breaking down the chords has gave me a stronger interest in the instrument. I'm still in the beginner stages but I now have the passion to get to a higher level. Thank you! I'm a new subscriber today!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Happy to hear that!

Your my guy GT! Always keeping it real. I appreciate that!

Nice lesson. That is a crazy clean ‘66? I had one that was a serious “player grade”. Same color but roughed up, nicotine faded, rusted, and no finish left on the back of the neck. Same mellow sound.

Great to see you again. Saw you over the summer play with John Oates Jack's Beach Florida I'm sure you remember the night as I watched you pull the cord out of the monitor. It was a great show you guys were awesome. I'd like to come see you again let me know where.

Guthrie, After reading all the comments below I can only say, "Keep doing your thing." As some viewers have said below, you can take these lessons apart and learn the licks if you take the time. Thanks for a great help to guitarists in the making.
