I’m sharing a little insight to how simple melody comes alive with assigning a chord or bass note to melody. Try to really focus on listening here. Think about what’s really happening inside the chords and try to hear it above all. Enjoy!

Guthrie Trapp - เพลง
I love how Guthrie is so simple on gear and only focuses on playing. It's something very remarkable at this day and age.
I’ve probably said this before but if you played happy birthday I would have it on repeat lol. Seriously, there is not a player on the planet I enjoy listening to more.
You make the best guitar videos on TH-cam! ❤️😊👍🏻
That is exactly how I write songs. I just wish I could play that effortlessly
3:55 This little melody was buggin' me until it dawned on me what I was hearing. " Starry starry night".....Don McLean. .anyway...Thanks Guthrie.
Thank you very much Guthrie, and hi from Australia!
GT, working without a net.
Great ideas.
There are levels to this stuff that even after decades I haven't even scratched and probably never will. I could and do watch this stuff for ages in appreciation. Thanks as ever.
Can’t wait for the Buk album
I’ve been working on the stuff he teaching for a couple years now. It takes time and practice but this is what you want to know
Just tried what you showed us. Lots of fun finding those chords that fit the melody … light bulb moment for me. Thank you.
You're videos have helped me so much, I have been playing for 20 years and I have learned more about guitar in the last few months watching your videos. It's all starting to click, thank you for making this content.
😎🤘
you should be doing soundtracks for tv & film
Thanks Guthrie! This one opened some doors, this is just what I've been trying to do...
Your hands and fingers know way more than you have time to try to explain.
Not sure if your muscle memory or your brain is actually at the controls?
Love your throw-down southern approach to trying to be polite and explain all this stuff for free.
Reminds me of trying to explain something mechanical to my wife.
Thanks for squeezing in these videos when your life is on overload.
These lessons are always great; simple in principle, but extremely applicable and effective.
Hey Guthrie, glad you didn't have a house fall on you last night with all the tornadoes warnings going on. It wasn't much fun down here in The Shoals either. Some pretty large hail comin' down in Muscle Shoals and Florence, AL. Hail , hail to rock & roll as they say.
It’s fun and reassuring to see you work it out. It legitimizes the times I’m lumberjacking an idea. Sometimes it seems that the guitar greats always play the perfect thing. It’s ok to keep working at it. It’s something we all do. Thanks for modeling practice for us.
Hope that makes sense.
This makes great sense!!
Yes! I feel exactly the same! We are all on the same journey. Enjoy the ride!✌️❤️
Recognized a little bit of “Senia’s Lament” by Jerry Douglas towards the end there. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent here!
Hey Guthrie. I just recently subscribed to your channel. I come from what I am sure, is a long list of players who bought an acoustic guitar and a few song books 40 years ago and fell in love with music. Then life took over and we spent 40 years noodling over the same chords without any real direction. I truly appreciate your content and your approach to teaching. You have no idea how much you are helping me weave together 40 years worth of ideas I had bouncing around in my head. I hope to get down to Nashville to check you out sometime. Merry Christmas!
Silver Wings! Merle Haggard. Last bit in E sounds like that song
All those names you mentioned are truly awesome, but there is something exceedingly blessed in the way you teach and play. Your gift to guitarists is of inestimable value. Truly. Thank you dearly for all of your efforts and diligence. 🙏
Guthrie, i understand exactly what you're saying!
I was doing that this other night, i was playing some notes that turned into arpeggios. As soon as i realized it, it made it much easier to play smoothly.
I dig whatchoo teachin' here! 👍 👌
Thank you, the best one yet for me. Start with a chord from the key , hear then play a single-note or double-stop (thirds) melody leading to your next chord. Hope I'm getting it...
I started with "Amazing Grace" in the key of A, then transposed it all over the neck in multiple keys, just learning them one by one. It opened the whole thing up for me. Thanks for the terrific lesson! Hope you're staying safe during all this rough weather!
I had the joy of playing with a piano player years ago that could play anything in any key, when I asked how in the world he learned all of this, he said he took a simple song and learned it in every key. Then he went to the next song, etc. By the time he got to about the fifth song or so (which took a number of months), he could play virtually anything in any key. So your insight to Amazing Grace is spot on. And to be honest, I think guitar players have it a little easier than piano players when it comes to transposing. Still, it takes a lot of work no matter the instrument. But Guthrie does make it really tangible. O to have an additional 10 hours a day!! Thanks for the share, Casey! 🙏
5-Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Roll Tide!
That's money, right there! Great lesson, Guthrie! Thanks!
Beautiful opening noodle ya good thing.
Top guitarist. Top intro. Top teacher. Thanks to share your knowledge with us !.
You're lessons are a true gift for any guitar player! I love your approach on this stuff!
Hey GT! Happy to see you’re alive and well after the storms around Nash last night! Great lesson, as usual! Hopefully, I’ll be seeing you again, sometime soon!
Guthrie Scott from Detroit again God bless you and your fingers. The cage system is opening up the roadmap, and it is getting so much clearer. Thank you once again, my friend.
Man this music is so beautiful. I get emotional playing it. I’m so grateful that I understand what you are communicating here. Interweaving chords and melody. My soul can rest in that sound. Thank you sir.🔥
You’re speaking my language!! Ba ba ba bah
Guthrie you truly are an original! Watching you work through parts and your open heart to admit that some things are hard is so important for guys like me trying to continue my own journey! Thank you! Happy Healthy Holidays!✌️❤️🎵
Merry Christmas Guthrie
Awesome insights today Guthrie. Another 💡moment!
Good stuff GT, always putting in a way that makes sense. Definitely not simple remember to instantly recall all the triad interconnections but worth the effort I think to learn them.
❤ So appreciate your honesty Gurthie your always on point. I always hit like before even watching the video cause I know it's going to be brilliant have not got it wrong so far😊
You are awesome you opened up my eyes seems like every time I open your page you blow my mind I am doing what you say and it’s working thank you thank you thank you
It never fails, I always pick up something I can take away and try to incorporate into my playing. I appreciate you so much!
Much respect Guthrie...
I understand it, I think but it's tough to play. I can imagine more than I can process on the guitar. You end up sounding like knopfler. Tremendous. Thanks again. Loving it
You'll be playing something a month from now, and this will find its way in.
Good one Guthrie. Reminds me of some cool Jerry Jeff tex-mex melodies. Miss that guy. The song I'm thinking of is called South Coast.
Nice to see a lesson on using the major scale. There aren’t many.
Great content as always❤
Great lesson - thanks GT!
Guthrie, have you ever thought about selling lightbulbs with your logo on them? I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Freaking awesome! Love it Guthrie!!
Love your melodies! Great lesson!
you and jack Ruch should make a course around it. I know you both think the same way about the fretboard. Currently working through his latest Triads rhythm course on Brett Papas website and it aligns exactly with this!
Amazing Guthrie!!
Another killer lessons, thanks as always maestro ❤
Looking forward to your playing chord melody next video lessons. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thank you!
Nice!
Terrific concepts to work with and work on. I subscribed after watching three of your presentations. You have a lot to offer us and we all should digest the ideas you present!
Guess that's the reason we have 2 ears and 1 pick...
I can write a #1 hit song (lyrics) on that noodling
I like your method your playing speaks or should I say it resonates, speaks positively to my inner self, soul, spirit. It just feels right. Thank you I've been playing since a child it's so good to see+hear something that moves me. I want to grab this and wear it. Like a favorite piece of clothing .
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is wonderful stuff thank you Guthrie.a good track to try this on mark knopflers going home the main theme in g 👍
Great sounding Telecaster , thanks for explaining this stuff , inspirational .
@@forester057 Yes , Guthrie creates a warm tone for these videos , very professional .
Keep up the good work Guithrie - Like to support your new LP when its pressed.
I've leaned the triads in Cream's White Room. Interesting stuff
Thanks Guthrie.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on Tommy Emmanuel?
I would love to hear you guys play together as you’re both such exceptional talents.
Cheers mate.
Ciao Guthrie, what's going on in Nashville? We all have seen dramatic footages on TV
Pretty stuff. Copelandesque but entirely original,
👍🙏
Guthrie, do you recommend your course for advanced piano players who want to learn the guitar? Love your playing brother! Edit: Do you still offer in-person lessons?

Sir how are you getting such a nice and woody tone, what is on the floor, if u dont mind asking. thank you for your time. ryan
Hey Guthrie, you seem to be playing single note melodies and placing appropriate chords “underneath”. How do you determine the chord that goes with each note in the overall melody? Thanks for the videos and help!
If I may, but in here, and please correct me, if I’m wrong, Guthrie, he is selecting cords based on thirds. So, for example, in the key of C; C, e.g., then, DFA, e.g. B, FAC, GBD, a CE, BDF,
@@onethousandtwonortheast8848 Hi, could you elaborate a little bit. What do you mean by “thirds”? Is it a chord based on the 3rd of the given note that was just played (ie. In the overall melody)? Thanks.
@@cw5365 our modern day music system is built on thirds. This is called “tertian”harmony. That means there’s usually a distance of a third between the notes of a chord when the chord is played in root position. In that spirit, most chords have three notes and these chords are called triads. Again, the number three comes up.
It’s important to understand this basic concept: a triad or “chord”has three notes, but because it has three notes, there are three combinations. The first is root position, the second is first inversion, and the last is second inversion.
The first thing Guthrie is doing here is picking the key he’s playing in. Once he picks the key, he finds out where the notes are of the major scale for the key. He then chooses a melody line that is made up of notes from that key’s scale.
after that, he chooses chords that are built on thirds from the key he’s in to support the melody. The way you choose the correct chord, for the melody is usually by ear. This is where it music is not a science, it is art. If you have any other questions, just ask.
@@onethousandtwonortheast8848 Thank you for the explanation. He is very good at creating melodies, and some of this is just hard to grasp at times. Can you give an example of building a chord from a melody note please? Does he mainly play the diatonic chord associated with the scale degree? Would this be the same process in a minor key or would the chords use the minor 3rd?
Little confused also. His playing is great, but there’s not enough explanation sometimes
Thanks for all the tips and knowledge your sharing. It has made me a much better player. I've been playing for 40+ years, blues/rock mostly. I've started to incorporate your tips into my playing and it's made it so much more fun. Thankyou Guthrie ✌👍
Another fine demo. I always thought Ry Cooder did this beautifully too. Thanks for your ideas.
That was tastier than the leftover filet mignon I just ate.
