Guthrie, you are a kind friend. Thanks for the words we we spoke the other night. I want to say, my private lessons and AW subscription with you since 2019 are continuously paying off and I have fretboard “lightbulb” moments all the time. Your teachings over the years have me understanding everything you talk about. Too much to note but thank you! I encourage anyone serious about melodic, never lost fretboard knowledge to get onboard with GTs lessons opportunities. Thanks man, see you soon around town.

No one has done more for my playing than GT. He's so right about CAGED and chord shapes. His private lessons are a wealth of material to go over and over. He's an incredibly talented musician who is also a great teacher. In 50 years of playing and countless other lessons he is simply the best I've found. He took my playing up several levels and I continue to learn from him every time I pick up the guitar. Here's the thing you might not realize; he says it without really saying it: It's about the journey. Enjoy the journey and watch yourself grow on the instrument, truly what it's all about.

“Don’t overthink it. It’s all right there. Just keep playing the guitar.” 🙏

KZfaq is recommending all your older videos. I love it. 4:20

These last three videos that you've done are opening up a whole new world for me on guitar. I now can't wait to get home from work to practice these shapes & get them "under the fingers" for a couple of hours each night . I believe that in a few months I will play more melodically and finally escape "pentatonic hell" :)

The best YT channels are with folks who actually do the thing in their non-YT life and then share it with their YT community! Thanks, buddy!

Dude!! That's some tasty playing. I gotta admit I used to not be a fan of country but some of you players are unreal. Very knowledgeable. And thanks for sharing

I was at a plateau for years... Stuck in the pentatonic box... You've opened my eyes, my ears and I'm excited to practice again after playing for over 50 years! Thank you!!

It's you and Uncle Larry that inspired me to really get back into playing the guitar again but in a totally different way than I'm used to. Been playing since 13 years old,now at 50 years old I'm seeing all this as more unique and exciting...kinda crazy lol

Lord that neck tone is heaven dude! What kinda pup is that guitar - the presence along with the warmth is tone comfort food!

You and Uncle Larry have helped me improve exponentially.

Bro, your channel just disappeared from my feed for several months and it just came back recently. Glad to see you (the channel) back. 🤣

1) What you played in the intro was just gorgeous 2) Great fretboard info as always 3) Love the stories from the Gulf coast, especially the hair in the tuning peg, lol! (I don’t mean to laugh at anyone’s misfortune, but I can picture the whole scenario, and in hindsight, it’s hilarious 🤣). 4) Appreciate the advice on stretching/loosening techniques. I’m an athlete as well as musician; I foam roll and stretch my body regularly, but hadn’t thought to apply the same to my hands. Makes perfect sense. Thanks as always and keep up the great work and music 🙏👍🏼💛

It's really helpful for me when you call out the chords as you change and play over them. Sounds great.

You know where to flick the switch in my head. Light bulbs shinning and wow I am learning the fretboard quicker than ever. Thanks again.

Guthrie I think I speak for everyone when I tell you We don’t just inspire You, Guthrie you inspire us more than you will ever know! Thank You so much 👍

You are seriously one of the most entertaining guys on KZfaq for guitar lessons. Very informative but kind of points out my major suckage on the guitar. I am 61 and have been playing since I was 9 and obviously need to spend more time learning the fretboard.

I've been to the Florabama many times. It's a big place! Sometimes they'll have 3 bands playing at once. If music in one area doesn't suit your taste you can walk over and hear a different band. I never saw you there Guthrie...I'm positive I would remember that! Thanks so much for each video. Cheers

GT your glass is overflowing for all of us that enjoy your musical gift. Never stop, never give up, never give in. Your musical voice is beautiful and important to share. Thank you sir. Blessings to you🙏

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share this material, it is some of the best on you tube ! keep it going Guthrie we appreciate your talent !

great video as always. thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us all

Love it Guthrie! ArtistWorks subscriber here. Having a great time. Thank you!

I never can finish a Guthrie Trapp video. Because within 6 minutes I get so much inspiration and ideas, I immediately just go grab a guitar and start jamming the ideas. These are fantastic videos.

Flora Bama! I spent 2018 to 2020 down in Mobile. Loved the music and musicians down there, but we had to get back to California. I found I could move my body out there, but my heart wouldn't budge from CA. As a music photographer, I got to know a lot of musicians from Mobile to NOLA. I miss those cats. There was a lot of great talent there. Sorry our paths didn't cross during that time, but hopefully you'll get out here before too long.

This is the best so far for me, genius stuff! Im a fan!

Love the stories to. Talk about synchronicity though. Last week I was working on the E blues scale between frets 9-12. You're right. That area of neck is under utilized. Turns out, thanks to this video, that I was unconsciously working the G shape. So thanks ever so much Guthrie. Today's offering is a golden icing on top. Bam! It seriously rounds out my working knowledge.👍

Loving these videos. Please keep them coming 😃

Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to all of us. Loving all the lessons! Keep up the great work.

Authentic and pure. Joined your Artistworks yesterday.

Dude, these videos are gold! Thanks for the inspiration!

Been watching Artist Works since I got home from work. Finally turn it off and got a new GT video. Must be livin right.

I really like when you make a mistake, you correct it instead of editing it out.. It sort of makes it easier to understand and to strive for. I really like your approach to music.

These lessons are pure gold....thx so much Guthrie!

Thank you so much for doing these videos!

Thanks for your generosity GT! You are an amazing player.. and an even better human (from what I see on your FB page).

Cool concept to work on specific shapes one at a time. Thank you!

As an older guy, I can’t say I have been “Girl Fishin” lately! I guess if you snag one by the hair with your guitar you get to keep her till you cut her loose, lol. I like to include the “A” shape C triad on the G, B, and E strings with that “G” shape. I had a light bulb moment playing triads. It became very clear that on either side of the 1, 3, and 5, lives the rest of the scale tones, which means you also have all the diatonic chords as well. Like you said, it’s all there. I am still figuring out what to do with it, but I get it. Thanks for posting all these lessons.

Absolutely beautiful ,Guthrie❣️thank you for sharing!

Beautiful opening man. Your light touch lifts every note perfectly.

Such a monster! I just learned of you man and it’s an incredible inspiration. I’ve only played in Nashville once so there’s that connection. But damn, my favorite is the jam before the instruction. You’re on your way dude. Much thanks! ✌🏻

Love these video's! Keep up the jamming and teaching Guthrie! I follow you here and on Instagram and everywhere.

On Every Street is one of my all time favorites. Beautiful stuff, Guthrie. You really know how to lay it out for us. Thanks, Man!

Amazing Guthrie - thanks for your insights and generosity

I love watching you discover new sounds while you're teaching.

What a truly incredible and entertaining upload. Tons of great ideas, food for thought plus brilliant, natural banter, funny stories and general interest topics. I love this channel and the totally flowing way the material is delivered. No cuts, no edits, just pure quality content and supreme guitar mastery. Guthrie, you're the man 👌👍

Really love the two lessons I have seen of yours. Really opening the fretboard for me

Man, you’ve been putting up some good stuff!

I love that guitar, love the tone you have there. Your music and openness is very much appreciated. I can’t wait to go to Nashville and see your trio play live. Thanks Guthrie.

I honestly think that your new approach to these videos (if it is indeed new) is great Guthrie, you have such a massive wealth of knowledge and experience , quality of course but previously I've found that for my level (perhaps intermediate having played for many years but not ever progressed further) that your videos were more demonstrations than they were lessons. However, in this video I learned a lot, I'm now especially focussing on each chord shape in all positions and then following you exercises of learning/listening to major scale, minor scale, arpeggios, pentatonic, blues scale, triads in each position etc. This felt like a lesson and I loved your little stories at the end to so full of entertainment also. Please continue this approach if and when you can. We love your music and your skills but we are all desperate for tips and help just like this.

Really like your enthusiasm in your lessons. It’s my coffee in the morning, and gives every day a brilliant start. So thanks for that! Love it! 🎸🎸🎸

Man, this lesson really helps me to connect some stuff! Excellent lesson!

Thank You Guthrie! You are now my fave teacher and this is my fave channel... light bulb moments and inspiration to keep practicing! Please keep up the great work and I love your improv intros... so much to learn and absorb... I just got turned onto your channel a couple days ago. Amazing and I will be supporting you long time.

Super cool approach to talk about one chord form at a time. Mainly I enjoy listening to you talk. Thanks.

Beautiful and so melodic - We are building this channel with you Guthrie

listening to the opening jam - really nice stuff. Thank you

Thankyou for sharing your gold... spreading guitar wealth.

Great insight Guthrie ...excellent ... thanks.

Glad you are enjoying bringing us these videos. You're a good guy, Guthrie. You restore OUR faith in humanity. Tale care, friend.

Thanks for the cool breakdowns dude, I'll be messin with this G shape gold later this evening.

In only 15-20 seconds into this video and all I have to say already is “ Thanks Guthrie”!! Your videos as always are awesome and Much appreciated!! 😊👍

Sweet inspiration for us out here! Thank you so much again for a great, insightful and practical expose of the other side of the major scale fingering! Gold nuggets indeed...thanks also for leaving in the flubs and little mistakes - really helpful to see the mental process. Like they used to say in Math - "show your workings!" Really grateful for your spirit in sharing some aspects of your vast experience. Thank you thank you, Mark

You are such an amazing person. Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart! For everything - guitar instructions. Your wonderful music. Your life lessons, and points for warm up and massage. Thank you so much!

Nice job putting this into plain language and providing practical application. "No one is going to play this chord shape, but you have to see it". Very helpful. You have me viewing the guitar differently

I've tried 1 lesson with this man and already I'm playing differently, thanks a million,

Watch these many times. The info is priceless! TY

Another gem , I always learn to ways to look at the neck , keep it coming we are like sponges !

I seldom give a damn that I'm 67 years old. There's few things I wish I'd known or done. The biggest thing I miss being old is I don't have as much time as I'd like to study your videos. One thing I enjoyed doing was meeting you at Robert's Western World!

Wow, your last two videos have knocked it out of the park bro.

Man, more gold. Love the practical examples of the theoretical stuff (CAGED) we’ve all be thinking about. Had chores today but it’s off to the guitar for a bit. Thx!

Jaycko straps are my favorite. Great lessons and thank you for posting videos!

Thanks, Guthrie for great inspiration and keeping it real. Just a down to earth explanation along with sharing stories of your journeys with friends like Kenny Vaughn etc. Awesome, Love this stuff man! Still waiting for that magic lol

Thanks Guthrie! This is definitely gold. I feel like you keep handing me keys that are unlocking the padlocks on my fretboard! Thank you! 😀🙏

Awesome playing. Thank you!

You’re doing a great thing for guitarists brotha. Been watching uncle Larry since covid and recently found your channel. Lovin your lessons!

Thank you for all the great lessons and advice man. Love your brand of music. I appreciate the way ya break these down for us and how you kinda look at music in general. Ya got a ton of support. I hope to see ya at the UCO jazz lab or somewhere at a festival in Oklahoma man. Since I’ve discovered your music and guitar playin and these vids. Say all the time. You’ve changed the way I play and look at music altogether. And not to try and have a pissing contest with sad stories but recently I’ve lost my vision and had to retire from my career of 20 years and I’ve found myself in the guitar and playing and finding new old music if that makes sense. But you’ve broke this down so I can understand a lot better what I’m doing and how to do what I wanna do and enjoy this more “me time” that I have. So thank you, keep on keepin on.

The black face Princeton and that thinline sounds like tubular bells. Beautiful.

I loved the last one and this one too. I need to wrap some other lessons up first and then sign up for artist works.

Everything you show is useful !

Thanks GT! And, speaking of "guitar gold", this lesson is chocked full of great guitar playing info and tips. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge!

Man, your playing is so good and inspiring. I don't really understand all the theory stuff yet. I'll get there someday. Thanks for the chops brother 🙏

You have been my favorite guitar player for quite a few years. Anything you tell me to practice that is what I will practice. Thanks friend

Great of you to do this. Hope you keep growing. Love your tones.

Love these lessons! They really are very helpful. Keep it up! I've been using those same strings for 20 years. Tried others and keeping coming back to them.

THANK YOU! Love your styles !

Hello from way up north, Oshawa On Canada 🇨🇦 Man I get so much pleasure watching you play. Even your "mistakes " sound amazing! You've inspired me to dig deeper and become a better player especially in the country style of players I grew up listening to never even hoping I'd be able to play like them. What I love most though is your real life approach, never being clinical but laid back, friendly and funny at times- all while revealing an incredible amount of valuable, useful information. Thank you and bless you. I wish you all the success with all your endeavors Guthrie Will Zaver

Met you at guitar gathering in Nashville Your video Sunday was great I’ve been practicing and trying to understand, You are great instructor

Thanks for the explanation of the G shape at the C position. Very helpful. I’m taking guitar lessons, but I learn from everything I hear and see. Also love your intro playing.

Way to geaux, dood Diggin' this video and I intend to check out your other stuff! You rawk!!

So much cool chordal stuff and things to connect them out of a single video, Guthrie you're a wonder !

Freakin awesomeness brother ... your mastery is profound ! Thanx

I love your videos! I always learn so much watching your videos. And you are an incredible guitar player!

I could watch thus 10 times and pick something else up to move my guitar playing forward. It's amazing that there are 100 of these out there. Thank you so much Guthrie! I've got a couple of new guitar players that are friends who I have been sending a bunch of links to

Thanks, Guthrie. Once I picked this up, it truly changed and advanced my playing. Brilliant

Guthrie, I can't say enough about this video. This one REALLY opened up my eyes and made me say to myself "how did I not see that...". You instantly changed my playing and I've been at this for a long time. I often put your videos on when I get home late at night and this one kept me up past dawn noodling with my looper. So I used this the next night at my gig on a few songs including the simple song "Girl Crush". Afterwards one of the singers said to me it's always pretty but tonight especially very sweet. I started with the G shape for the C chord and just used C shape for IV & V with little hammer ons and double stops. Honestly I was so sick of playing that song that you even made me enjoy it. Now I'm rambling on, so don't ever apologize for your chatter, it's all useful. I suffer from trigger finger. I've already had surgery on one and it's not fun. I have it in my index finger on my pick hand pretty bad. I hope you can fend it off (It's preventing my from playing banjo, which might actually be a blessing, haha...) You gave really good advice about that, too bro. Good luck with that, hoping for the best for you and as always THANK YOU!

Gorgeous opening. Imma steal everything I am able to understand from that! hahah

CAGED. Dumb name but has changed my way of playing. Thanks for spreading the word. I’d love to see y’all this weekend at the Jazz. But 11pm is a little too late for these bones.

You are great because I hear 'songs' everytime you play.

Diggin' your vibe and feelin' your heart & soul bruh ! Sharing this knowledge & experience, along with your enthusiasm for sending us down a path that gives us a better chance to improve, shows monumental generosity and care. Thanks ! Cheers from Toronto !

First time I've seen one of your videos for a while. This is great. I've learned a lot from this particular one.Thanks for taking the time. It's much appreciated !

Good stuff! Some people will only give a piece of the cake and the rest will cost but you put lot content in a short time! Keep it up! Peace!!
