I’ve been subscribed/watching this channel for 2 years and get a little something from every video! When we recover from my wife’s breast cancer battle I’m gonna sock away money for a lesson or immersion experience! Thank you again!

The fact you have to deal with the financial hardship in the middle of the human tragedy is a disgrace for our country. Good luck.

Triads, Triads, Triads!!!! The yellow brick road to success!!!! Thanks GT for posting!!!

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@vincebath8171]

The neglected picking hand. So many videos show the same thing, chords, triads and turn arounds etc. which are key, but watching your picking hand leaves me in the dust. I watched a guitarist with three fingers on his fretting hand, and he made up for it with his picking hand. You switch between plucking and whatever else it is you do while shifting your phrases and make it look easy, it is not. Stellar playing, thank you for the videos.

[@Billywagner22]

I feel someone just gave me the keys to the kingdom. Thanks Guthrie for sharing your knowledge. You’re a great teacher!

[@tymiles5451]

Now that you're in the kingdom, Guthrie gonna show there's hidden pathway, which leads to another Kingdom!! This is a great lesson, and you're right he's a great teacher. Thanks, Guthrie, for sharing!!! This is very helpful and fun to play!!

This is the best guitar channel ever and I been playing like 30 years and I still get so much inspiration about ur way to teach and make things sense. I need to come to Nashville some day to see your gig(even thou I try to avoid USA) ;)

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@getwhatyougive]

Awesome video. The man i bought my first Tele from in 1990 told me one beery night at 3 am (guitar in hand, empties all around) to "practice Practice PRACTICE YOUR F***ING TRIADS." The late, great Gerald Sheley. Thank you, sir, wherever you are.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Glad you liked the video.

[@josephmckenna4068]

As a sometimes bass player I can appreciate a guitar player that uses 3 note concise chords and not strumming all 6 strings constantly. It really tightens up the mix and makes bass playing more fun.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

That’s exactly right. I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson!

[@jdwild1698]

The triad KING ! Triads and their inversions all over the neck are the key to unlocking the fret board. Awesome stuff from the master, thanks brother for keeping it real.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!

[@manuelgitarre9656]

Yes so nice thanks Guthrie! Thanks for the Story once again, I love it going down in memory lane with this crazy moments in life. Glad they didnt get you. We are +/- the same age, I remember the 90s also very rough and violent but also wonderful time to grew up. Thanks man, I think these guys didnt like potsmokers 😂 hah and KRS one while coocking great

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

[@mattprince9204]

Sweet and swingin’ intro, GT! And as always love the stories. My brother has lived in Mobile for the last five years or so and I’ve visited many times and love it. Btw - beard is starting to look a little better. 🎸👌

If I had a kitchen that nice, I’d be in there cooking on the regular. Y’all do that movie and a meal thing and dirty up them pots and pans. Great lesson. Thank you.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Ha! Yes indeed. Thanks man!

[@woofcity6307]

Gt is the reason i finally understood how to use caged in a musical context. Seeing him work 2 notes against each other, and seeing his hands well - and his patience showing us this many times i finally saw something i could grab onto and get playing with it way better. Thank you GT. I owe you one.

[@cookiemonster5281]

Well said! Same for me. I was a 3 notes per string guy

[@jeffro.]

You're lookin' & soundin' GOOD, GT! Always great to see you! And, of course it's ALWAYS good to hear you play! Really liked what you played on the intro. Also liked the exercises that you "prescribed" for everyone. Y'know, I LOVE these kinds of exercises. I agree with you that I want my "exercises" to be musical! There's a LOT o' stuff in there to get out of it! And, it sounds good, also for the benefit of my wife who sometimes has to hear me practice, lol. I mean, sometimes my practice is easier to hear, as opposed to like when I'm learning a new technique or whatever, where there's a lotta repetition. (I'm sure your don't even remember those days, though.) Someday I know l I'll be able to play *somewhat* like you. I'm not there yet, and of course I'll never be AS good as you, but I can aspire! Don't apologize, these videos are NEVER too long! The "outtake" clip: Looked like a nice evening with friends, enjoying dinner together! 👍👍👍

[@HackandTinker]

Well Guthrie, you did it again. This is the best guitar lesson I ever got. It has already reshaped my view of the fretboard and makes me sound like a sophisticated player just by adding those 7ths triads and walking into the 3 and 7. I had been struggling to unlock the 7ths and this did it. Thank you!

[@tbluesboye]

Way cool Guthrie! Thanks

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@martynspooner5822]

There is knowing where the triad shapes and really knowing where the shapes are. Would love to go Guthrie s house for my dinner. Thanks for sharing.

[@EB81808]

Thanks Guthrie! It was you who opened my guitar world and for that I am forever grateful! Root third fifth aka the 1 3 5 has allowed me to create chords all over the neck! Always played by ear but knowing a little theory ha made a huge difference in my playing! Thanks again!!🎸

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks! I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful!

Or we have the luxury of watching an awesome guitar lesson from Guthrie while we hit the x trainer . Thanks so much

[@Donny_A]

@16:32 I feel like I’ve heard you play this a lot in these videos and never knew what you were doing. It is essentially a “jazz” enclosure around the major 3rd and a walk down from the 1 to the flat 7. Pretty cool. Thanks

[@Ruudis9er]

What a great Lesson... Thank you Guthrie. You're a really really good teacher and a great guitarist/artist.🎶

Good friends , good food, good times... and great stories! Enjoying the extra end clips, and realizing how musically useful CAGED is.

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the extra clips!

[@gbarge4]

Hey, GT, you've had so many super helpful tips these days. I'm stopping half way through to comment on how much paying attention to my right hand helped focus on triads. If our ingrained habit, often through beginning on acoustic, is to have a broadly strumming right hand, then maybe we're in that jam of playing all the strings with the right hand while focusing on fingering just triads with the left. Anyway, back to the tales part. You're a good man, GT. Most of us are lucky to be alive and lucky our families are blissfully unaware...

[@guthrietrappmusic]

I appreciate the kind words!

Wish we could get out to Chi Town, but that place in the winter is a hard run from CT. (But after seeing you guys twice at the Bitter End and once front row center at The U' Dog, I can assure anybody who can get there- it's the best night of guitar fun you'll ever see!)

One thing I'd recommend is a visual aid for the different chords you're playing. None the less amazing lesson, just feel like it would be beneficial to people not as comfortable with triads.

“The ancient Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, postulated that the meaning behind numbers was deeply significant. In their eyes the number 3 was considered as the perfect number, the number of harmony, wisdom and understanding. It was also the number of time - past, present, future; birth, life, death; beginning, middle, end - it was the number of the divine.”

[@berthatheairstream3639]

Great stuff! Couple questions: 1. How in the hell do you know where all those chords are, and what do you recommend to get there? Learning every note on every string? CAGE? 2. What strings (brand/size) do you use?

[@TheBoomtown4]

I’m just learning based on his instruction too but I know the notes on the fretboard and I’m learning that if I want G for example, I can either find a triad on the third fret with the e shaped based on the top string, or the second string it’s on the 8th fret using the C shape really quick or 12th using the third string as a reference and the A shape. I’m thinking, “I need G, what’s close? Oh, there’s a G on that string so that’s this shape, and that shape leads to that pentatonic shape too. Etc.

[@arlisskowski]

That's one of the important steps. Cage is just a method for learning all the notes. Take lessons

[@TheBoomtown4]

@@arlisskowski I learned the notes first, then cage.

[@RobertFairweatherLuvMachine]

@@TheBoomtown4 CAGED /// don't forget the D.

[@stevec9972]

I recommend learning the c a g e d chord shapes including the d chord. & Overlay that with the pentatonic shapes that live together. It will help with the notes on all strings also. All the triads & arrpeggios are contained within and overlay the chords & scales. Some homework is required, but it's the basis of everything. Ps One position at a time🤘

[@lindabrodsky2768]

[@guthrietrappmusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@travissinquefield187]

Ok, so I know my triads for major and minor. Are you keep the 3rd and 5th in the same place, and then just flattening the root to the flat 7? I assume since you are playing the root chord prior it leads into it (since it seems for the 7th chord it is a shell voicing)?
