The Life Changing Lick

[@AMinorCaseOfBlues]

"Is that grammatically correct?, fuck I don't know!" ...love it man. Just little tidbits that make my day. Waterloo for the win! Tastes like TV static, but I'm on the same wagon.

[@jimicrack29]

now shows how i learned all you talked about books i have open chords an yes bar chords i struggle with either one ge som mute or buzz

[@gregmock6808]

Haven't had a drink in over 8 years now and never lookin' back..you won't regret it if you give it up ..great video

[@ResponseAudio]

Good stuff. I quit in the fall of 2014. It wastes your life energy.

[@SouthFloridasRestaurantGuy]

Recently celebrated one year of total sobriety. No alcohol no weed 🙏 life changing

[@guthrietrappmusic]

So awesome! I’m ready to be done with it.

[@benallmark9671]

I second that. Best thing I ever did was give up the sauce and smoking is right behind it.

I just bought a case of Waterloo grape flavor.

Yeah man your lookin good.. honestly, you were eating out on some heavy meals washin' it back with a few cocktails. I also changed my eating habits, now I feel like playing more like you! We love GT. Always been good to us wanna be's.

Guthrie, these are another batch of great tips. Chromatically is a real word.

[@jonnybeck6723]

Zero calories zero everything... Hey, wait a minute, it's an empty can... All your licks are life changing, ever since I saw you take everyone to school out West

Man! Love it!!

Good suff !

[@martinvrhovski7106]

I quit cocaine 1.5 years ago, alcohol 5 months ago and weed two months ago. Feeling better than ever! You won't regret! Great lesson as usual ❤. Greetings from Argentina!

Chromatically correct 👍🏼

Cripes, you always play so solid and clean... (You is a clean machine, mang... )

[@jmwise80]

Man, I have found myself a goldmine. Dudes that get together 2 times a week and play hymns and classic country music. They don’t even laugh too much when I try to take a solo.

[@MrJohnclem]

❤❤ thank you so much for your time. Love your videos , I still struggling with guitar , but hey I just love it 😂😂😂🇮🇪John from Ireland 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Xazertroncharlie]

These videos keep you honest about your sobriety. We are rooting for you my friend. Keep up the battle. Thank you so very much for your guitar videos. I have learned a lot from you. Peace

[@tefenstrat]

Another great video as usual ! Hey quick story for all of you guitar players out there. So ever since I was old enough to put the needle of a record player arm onto a record. I LOVED music! Then at around age 10 I got my first guitar and have been playing 50 plus years now and I LOVE that more than I can tell you. So about a year ago I broke my left wrist bad and had to have surgery. I am playing again but it looks like my playing will never ever be quite what it was. MY POINT- NEVER take for granted what you have, love it more than you did before you read this and for the love of Pete-be careful because an accident can happen in the blink of an eye!

[@ChrisCadenhead]

So true...this terrifies me as a full time pianist

[@carlpop2324]

God bless you, friend!

[@TimRowell]

I'm a music teacher and I get so inspired with the way you teach and how "real world" and authentic it feels. Thank you!

[@bluesman97]

I can appreciate the fact that your practice repertoire is very clean sounding.. Thanks for the great ideas.

[@JasonCaron-qv3cp]

WOW! Another lesson not to be missed! GT -you improve my playing every time I pick!! 1000 Thank Yous!

[@johnpayne3134]

This lesson is simply a nugget of pure and solid gold

[@GuyGreenbaum]

Title checks out. Now I'll be checking out from everything other than practicing this idea for a while 🎉 thanks as always GT, you da man.

[@Paul-ox4oi]

God bless you

I can't praise you enough for sharing your knowledge, life and musical experiences with this community. Thank you and forever greatful. 🙏🏼🤘🏼

You have been touched by Euterpe! Everything you play is filled with music Thank a lot from Italy for your good music advice. Guitar makes me feel good. Hope my english may be enough

[@FaithHopeLove77]

Thanks Guthrie

[@knowl1969]

Having started by playing by ear as a kid, I can hear these changes coming, but I never knew how to execute it until this past year because of your videos! Thank you!

[@stanesposito2664]

This is excellent stuff. 👍👍🎸 Thanks!

[@thomashogan1985]

This is great, I'm so stealing this so I can pretend to be a jazzer for a solo or two!

[@robertferraiuolo3675]

Love your phrasing

[@PaulMcKendrick]

Stunning.

This vibe works great over "Stormy Monday" chord changes.

[@ClinToneCust23]

All the healthy shit you been doing shows man.. looking healthy and young brother.. thanks for this lick gonna practice it as soon as I can get off work.. 😂

[@gregmock6808]

That lick really makes me think of Duke Ellington's sense of melody

[@TerriYoung-n3n]

Beautiful damn good. F***. Seriously really good! So good I was taken back.

[@kevinhines3487]

This is an awesome lesson, Guthrie. I got a lot out of it. Thanks. These licks contain every note at some point including the root, flat 9, 9, flat 3rd, 3rd, fourth, tritone, fifth, flat 13, 6th, 7th, and major 7th. Many of the notes are passing tones but they're there. So cool. I really dig superimposing the minor 5 (B minor) chord over the E chord. This really brings out the 9th of the E chord. Very helpful.

[@LeeHoMusic]

Thank you for the video 👍

[@estebansuarezmarenzi1135]

Thanks for sharing all this gold! Greetings from Argentina

[@bpcdrums3757]

Thanks for this Guthrie - this is really legit be bop language - chromaticism paired with chord tone targets. Very helpful and loads of good lines to mine! Appreciate you and what you are doing!

[@johnmcelhaney8490]

wow wow wow what an intro!!!!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Nice playing Guthrie!!

[@RonanKilroy]

Guthrie great content as always. I can’t tell you how much you have helped me understand the fretboard. Your Truefire course is awesome and have been immersing myself in it. Just a breath of fresh air these videos.

[@gerardoconnor7148]

that pedal suits your creativity so well beautiful melody

So nice to hear you are working on the most important musical component - health ! Take care.

[@jimicrack29]

takes time to learn shifting i wil get is slowly

[@simoneric8183]

I think it's a Reverend the guitar you play. Fantastic guitars for the cleans and for many other things. I own 4 (Crosscut, Buckshot, Airsonic and Warhawk). Excellent instruments no doubt. I am a great fan of cleans and jazzy stuff. I'm writing from Paris right now, where Django Reinhart lived. Big thank you for the music !

[@Thomcat1954]

Thank You So Much

[@diegoguy101]

Guthrie man every video u put out is so good. The improve is amazing. Ideas are amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passing it down

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I appreciate that!

[@guitchess]

Love the improv. Love the lessons. Sometimes the combo sucks. The improv shows me how much i suck, then the lesson shows me I'm stupid. Maybe i shouldn't even play. It's OK. A little noodling over a crappy backing trac, and I'll forgot all three. Lol Thanks for the vids.

[@bluespower1961]

I gotta say the new Truefire course is great, But what makes it I think is you get the old Jamplay video with it. Which gives you good insight into GTs playing. I took it years ago. But the Jamplay is loaded with valuable info. So helps with Truefire course Huge. Brilliant idea.

[@peteolinski7471]

Love the videos! Keep it up!

[@cneal1988]

Guthrie, thank you for this. This is great to watch. Sometimes some of us are stuck in a wall and we’re trying to break out of it and it seems like the pros never really show us intermediate guys how to break past that pentatonic box and start playing some of those neat phrases and it’s nice to see you break them down so we can work on it and then maybe hopefully expand our library as well as be able to replicate some of what you’re doing!

[@kevinallman6700]

Another inspiring video dude 😎❤️ keeping it real and saying it how it is.. praying for you with the whole staying sober deal, honestly it was you and Jack Ruch that got me through my methadone withdrawal nearly 2years ago so prayer is my way if paying that back.. after 2years from being homeless to now having a nice place in the sticks,my family back in my life and playing stuff I can't believe it's me with a bit of head knowledge too.. best of all by next month I am financially able to buy some stuff of yours, investing in myself as my son said yesterday.. anyway peace, love, joy and happiness to you and your family dude ♥️🎵🎶🎵♥️

[@jurgenmoosburger617]

Hi Guthrie, thanks for that nice little lick - awesome! Could you please explain what are your favorable ‚positions‘ in the 12 bar Blues to apply it… maybe I didn‘t get it in your tutorial 😉 Thanks a lot! Jürgen

This came at the perfect time for me. I instantly incorporated it, of course, I've just scratched the surface, but thank you so much for dropping this.

Speaking of life changing with respect to guitar I signed up for the Artist Works course 2 weeks ago and can't believe how much I've improved and how much fun I'm having. If you like GT's KZbin you'll love the course it's a great deal thank you GT!!

Guthrie, this video was posted at the exact same time I plugged in my new GTO overdrive pedal. I set everything at high noon, and it is the most inspirational drive....I am playing it into my P2P Uncle Larry amp (set clean).. Thank you for all you do...

Great stuff Guthrie. I got myself a Cloudburst and it’s been great for inspiration and for instrumental work. Sounds awesome on an acoustic as well. Thanks as always for the useful videos and tips

*Nice guitar playing at the end Guthrie, the way your fingers moved across the fretboard was inspiring, awesome tone too.*

Coming to Nashville on Sunday- the Trio going to be at the Underdog?

[@Nozmo_King_NJ]

Thanks GT .. I just ingrained this into my "melodic lick" library. I love the "swinging" style you infuse into your playing, regardless of the tune. Good stuff!!!!

[@daganumos7002]

Cheers, Guthrie. Thoroughly enjoying the TrueFire course. The content that you put out on here is more fully developed and supported in the Roots course and it has significantly helped my progress.

[@odditeemusic6016]

Simple and brilliant! You distill it (no pun intended) down into a simple logical musical statement

[@less2worryabout]

pushed your likes hope someone else is ready to do the same sounding good trappers keep!!!

YAY! Planning to sign up for one of the TrueFire courses in the next few weeks. Yes, can't wait for the GT/Uncle Larry album - the session stream was mindblowing.
