Posting these on TH-cam for those who either do not use social media or find the apps challenging. Trey started posting these every day starting Saturday, January 29, 2022
I don’t even play guitar but am loving these lessons. Just to get into the mind of the master. He’s so humble too. You almost want to say, “You do realize you’re Trey right?” 😂 His natural humility is extremely refreshing
@@altfiwithleighlommen310 of course, I was just really happy after I watched that. I will have to say, though, I do think Trey is one of the best, if not the best, rock guitar improvisers of all time.
That 1, 2, 3, 4 finger exercise is no joke. I've been playing for 15 years and am not amazing but pretty fluent on the guitar, but running though those sequences caused my hand to cramp up worse than it has in YEARS. Definitely don't sleep on that one!
The nerd in me has to point out that when Trey is talking about the C9 chord, he’s actually playing Cadd9. C9 is actually a C7 chord with the 9 added to it so the notes would be C E G Bb D. C9 can also be written as C7(9) 🤓 I love you Trey!
I find myself answering him & talking to him like he's actually in the room with me when I watch these lol. He's just got that way about him! I wish I had this information when I was first learning to play. I feel like it would've progressed my playing much faster than the way I did it & would've opened those doors that I never seemed to have the key to. This lesson is gold for anyone starting to play guitar or anyone feeling like they've hit a wall & are stuck. Start over. Start here!!! And to the guy who commented correcting Trey on the C9 & the author's name - you missed the entire point of this lesson
"A door way open to a path for learning these cords and scales all the way up and down the neck" Great lesson. Almost 3am here in LA. Tomorrow, lesson 1. Gonna focus on one lesson a week if 1-5 is anything like lesson 6. Thanks Trey I hope you continue these lessons. Pinkie finger, don't neglect the pinkie finger.
Man thanks to Trey for these wonderful lessons! a couple minor points: Adding a D note to a C Chord doers not make it a 9th chord, it makes it a C Major add 9, which is a major type chord. Adding a Bb and D to a C chord would make it a C9, a dominant type chord and the famous funk soul chord. Also the author of "The Advancing Guitarist" is Mick Goodrick, not Goodrich. Picky, Picky, Picky LOL
Boy, Man…. When do you ever get to hear the Languedoc played acoustically! God james finnerty was right, it sounds closer to an orchestral instrument; ie. an oboe or bassoon.Shit that’s cool!
I disagree with Trey here. I get tons of pleasure sounding like other people. Nile Rodgers and Steve Cropper come to mind. I love playing for friends and family to a recording where they can't distinguish between me and the guitarist on the recording. It's fun. Stevie Ray Vaughn specifically set out to sound like Albert King. Wes Montgomery started playing in the hopes of sounding like Charlie Christian. I can go on. On the other hand, if originality is your goal, go for it.
When I worked at the National Guitar Workshop, I would bet guitarists they couldn't name the artist on a recording, then play Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of Voodoo Child. Of course they all said Jimi, that's how closely SRV had copied Jimi's style and sound for that recording.. I made lots of $1 bills that way. I believe emulating another style is a natural step towards developing your own sound.
@@stevewalkermusic I agree. I get what Trey is trying to say here, and I admire guitarists who strive for originality, but personally, I study BB King and Mick Taylor for how to properly bend up to pitch; I study Townshend for his mastery of suspended chords and drama; Cropper and Cornell Dupree for that major scale R&B gospel sound that is easily transferable and adaptable to country guitar. And I'm only a casual fan of bluegrass but it has helped me with my speed and finger co-ordination. I've met and played with people who are only looking for originality. A band I once jammed with comes to mind. I tune up and we're ready to go. I call out "Chuck Berry Bb!!" They couldn't do it. They actually wanted me to learn their songs!! In other words, they were so intent on originality and being unique to other musicians and bands, they never understood that by studying other musicians and genres, you become more adaptable and can easily play with others. Even total strangers like I was.
@@tomcarl8021 it sounds like you are an accomplished and enjoyable musician. I do feel like after 45 years of studying guitar I have developed my own voice, but that is largely because I have learned from so many masters that no single one stands out in my playing.
@@stevewalkermusic Accomplished, hell no. I never made a dime playing guitar but I still love it. Always learning something new. I've been playing a little over thirty years and I'm really not sure if I developed my own style. But, I guess I have because it's impossible not to after all these years. I just can't hear it. It's not that apparent because I'm so used to my own sound. I suppose my problem is when I get bored with my playing. Kind of like looking in the mirror and seeing the same face every day. That's when I think it's healthy to go in another direction and learn something new. I like to buy new clothes every once in a while. When I look in the mirror it's fun because I look different for a change. Playing should be like that for us vets. Changing up is good for us. Even if it leads us nowhere it's still good for you. I worked hard trying to learn Bossa Nova some years ago. It went nowhere and I abandoned it, but so what.
Who is this joker? I would say that this advice is gonna get you nowhere except a living room TH-cam video like this guy seems to have landed himself in.
Are you trolling? That "joker" is one of the greatest guitarists in the world and the frontman of Phish, the greatest jam band today. There is a reason Phish shows sell out everywhere they go. If he can perform in front of thousands and thousands throughout the years and remain as humble as he is, then surely you can be humble too by not spouting off about somebody that you are clueless about. Trey is a genius.
If you are kidding, then you got me. But if you aren't kidding, then I think you need to know that that joker is one of the biggest rock stars in America. I think besides Billy Joel, Trey's band has sold out Madison Square Garden more than any artist in history. His band plays the largest venues in the country and they have generated hundreds of millions of dollars.
I don’t even play guitar but am loving these lessons. Just to get into the mind of the master.
He’s so humble too. You almost want to say, “You do realize you’re Trey right?” 😂 His natural humility is extremely refreshing
Ima struggling beginner and was expecting this to go way over my head but this was conceptual and down to earth ! 😊
Trey actually took the time to provide a full Transcript of the lesson. I have never seen that before. What an amazing man. Thanks, Trey...
One of the best things I’ve ever seen on the internet. Trey is the best musician ever.
I’m afraid that he must start at #2 now that Jacob Collier is here.
Great musician, yes. Best ever, I think he would agree that's not true. Too subjective
@@altfiwithleighlommen310 of course, I was just really happy after I watched that. I will have to say, though, I do think Trey is one of the best, if not the best, rock guitar improvisers of all time.
This is the greatest human being alive.
That 1, 2, 3, 4 finger exercise is no joke. I've been playing for 15 years and am not amazing but pretty fluent on the guitar, but running though those sequences caused my hand to cramp up worse than it has in YEARS. Definitely don't sleep on that one!
I laughed so hard when he said, "D to shining D" and gave a smirk
Trey been listening to you for years. Still so down to earth. Young kids would benefit from this approach. So nice of you to post.
Treys pinkie is what sets him apart.
Nothing different rom most good players..I don't do it, but I'm not great!
Aloha
Respect Trey.
I am an old Jerry head guitar player, never could get jiggy with Phish, but I give you massive respect for doing this.
The nerd in me has to point out that when Trey is talking about the C9 chord, he’s actually playing Cadd9. C9 is actually a C7 chord with the 9 added to it so the notes would be C E G Bb D. C9 can also be written as C7(9) 🤓 I love you Trey!
Yup, this is a lesson I’ll keep going back to for the rest of my playing life. Thank you!

um how is this not blown up?? Thank you for this
I was skeptical, but I thought this was full of really good advice! Bravo.
You're my favorite musician Trey.....I'm stickin' with ya. Peace.
OMG God! Ive been hoping/dreaming for this for god knows how long. How many lessons has Anastasio done - 6. Jesus Christ this is awesome!
Same here.
"A door way open to a path for learning these cords and scales all the way up and down the neck" Great lesson. Almost 3am here in LA. Tomorrow, lesson 1.

I love that almost everything in here I've learned from my teacher in my first year.
Hey there has anyone created a pdf or something of the 1234 exercise? I’ll do it if no one has yet
Did you do it? Would love to have copy. I shout screen shot
Boy, Man…. When do you ever get to hear the Languedoc played acoustically! God james finnerty was right, it sounds closer to an orchestral instrument; ie. an oboe or bassoon.Shit that’s cool!
Why are we whispering?
