Thanks so much guys. Means a lot to me that you take the time to watch these. Not to mention add a thoughtful and inspiring comment. I hope everyone is happy and well. Cheers! GT
I’ve just started watching some of your videos the past few days. I love the way you play. Sadly I frequently have trouble following what you’re doing. But, this video, for whatever reason, makes some sense to me and gives me a roadmap of what to practice without feeling overwhelmed. Thank you.
You are one of the only teachers that emphasizes chord shapes. That was a breakthrough for me. Like connect-the-dots puzzles, the chord shapes are the outlines for everything, and make visualizing triads, arpeggios, scales so much easier. Thank you!
I signed up with Trapp on Artistworks and learned more in 30 days than in 5 years with the TH-cam guys. I’m playing all over the neck now. Listen to the man...chord shapes and triads are everything. Thanks Trapper
LOve your videos ! I am 72 years old , and have been playing and gigging guitar since 1963 . I agree with all your videos , and I know you are a real pro , and I appreciate all you are doing for all the younger players ! Keep on doing what you are doing and know that you are doing a service to all the younger players ! Make sure you are pounding into them that they have to understand and use the circle of 5ths and learn all their chords . Everything will come to them if they can understand these two things !
I love how Guthrie's videos all seem to relate to each other. I never feel like I'm being sent down a rabbit whole with random concepts. These concepts get reinforced with each video while being pushed to see/understand from different angles. We are all very fortunate that he takes the time to share his expertise with us.
How can anyone in their right mind ever leave this cat a negative comment!?! Guthrie, your great sense of humor and infectious personality shine thru in every video you make. Your (phenomenal) playing ability aside, you are truly an enjoyable guy. I'm going to take a zoom lesson just to chat with you for an hour.....forget the guitar lesson.
A vacation from your vacation. Now that's the good life. Thanks for all the teasers and giving away the candy store, I feel ready to take on the Artist Works curriculum. I'm going to get into it the first week in October. I'm excited and looking forward to it.
Damn this helped me so much I wish I would’ve had someone explain this shit to me 25 years ago. And yes I only play in the evenings when I get home from work never with no one else that’s why I never New this stuff. Appreciate you sir very much would not believe how much it has improved my playing your knowledge. Thank you
You are a great teacher Guthrie! Keep saying "the chord shapes, the chord shapes" because I learn something new every time. Also love when you show us these exercises to go with the concepts. Sometimes we need to hear it many times before it finally clicks in the right way. Love your playing, and just glad to have you sharing your knowledge with us. Wishing you all the best.
there are are so many great guitarists but Guthrie is probably the most melodic and instinctive guitarist with a great personal style... an extension of himself. beautiful! thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us
That looks like what I needed, I've been playing guitar a long time, but I don't know what I'm doing, I'm 66 years old I got my first guitar when I was like 8 years old my first song was on top of a smokey. My second song was The House of the rising Sun. My first my first guitar was a Stella Harmony 12 string. My first one was a plastic guitar my second one was a plastic guitar cuz it broke the first one. Then I got Stella I have a lot of friends that played guitar so I learned by watching. I took it to school with me everyday. Then I had injury and I lost the sensation in my fingers on my right hand so I quit playing I just recently started playing again maybe 2 years ago, I'm a truck driver so I take it with me. I've watched you and picked up quite a few things so far thank you I will be watching more.
Amazing "teaser" lesson. Staying in key is what I'm working on, and per usual, Guthrie's video is exactly what I needed for today's motivation. Thanks forever and always Guthrie.
Learning CAGED several months ago, and following your lessons on soloing out of the chord shapes has helped my playing develop more than anything else. Getting to the point of seeing the shapes as well as you do might take awhile, but it's well worth the effort. Yourself, and Mark Knopfler are my "heroes", because the melodic content in your playing is superb. I hope to get to that point someday. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey Guthrie. I hope all is well and I am glad you got to spend some time in New Orleans. There is just something special about N.O no matter how things are going there. I sure missed Jazz Fest something terrible this year. It won’t be long and it will be gumbo time. Take care and thanks for posting the video. Stay safe.
Wow, that was actually the right speed educationally. So many youtubers can dumb it down so much for beginners that it's hard to watch. This is good stuff.
Guthrie - I first saw you on RJ Ronquillo’s TH-cam page. I try to watch everything you put out on TH-cam. Your stuff is mostly beyond me, but I find your teaching, insight and especially your playing amazing and helpful. I take something from each of your TH-cam posts. Thanks so much.
I have been an admirer of yours since I first saw you playing with Don Kelly. If I remember correctly, you were playing a G&L ASAT. I thought you were amazing then and you just keep getting more amazing as time goes on. I even remember seeing you with Patty Loveless at the Ryman and then hanging out over T Roberts. You were always so humble and approachable. I love your videos and hope to see you out live again when Nashville gets going and I can get back up there. Best wishes for continued success!
GT, you have a good soul! Thanks for your time to share this "snack" of fretboard knowledge! Be well and continue appreciating your blessings! See you around town....
KIller exercise, Guthrie! A great twist on harmonized scale practice. Never seen anybody lay it out quite like this before. I have done this type of thing mostly just up and down the neck in thirds and on the same set of strings, but crossing strings and moving within the caged system makes so much sense.
Guthrie amazing timing. I've been wanting to learn more about going up and down the neck. Thank you so much. Your generousity is amazing along with that little bit you played at the beginning.
Hey Guthrie! Just joined your course on Artistworks course and have to enthusiastically echo Mike G’s comments below. This is an awesome program! You’ve done a great job laying this all out in an easily digestible format. You’ve immediately helped me see the fingerboard in a meaningful, musical way. Can’t thank you enough, man!
GREAT little lesson Guthrie !!! Ive been waiting for a lesson on how to start incorporating chords into licks,, this one opens a door for me. Awesome work once again !
I wish i could goof around so awesome like that! wow! And no I don’t get tired of hearing about the chord shapes it has helped me tremendously absolutely love your playing sir!
I been working on doing this harmony type exercise here lately ever since I seen you play when the saints come marching in. Thank you so much for sharing all this. I really appreciate it and I have tried to take advantage of it. Thanks man your awesome one of the best I've seen on the guitar.
Good stuff . Gibson sounds great . I appreciate the privilege of having access to your talent . I am on quarantine. Will have time to put your lesson to use !!
Thank you so much for your input into your lessons learning heaps love your lessons , keep up the great work keep safe cheers Peter from Tasmania the great island of Australia enjoy your day PS keep doing a road trip
You make it easy Guthrie! Maybe next spring we'll get to go out and use this stuff?! Looking forward to seeing your interview on Josh's channel. Cheers Guthrie!!
I keep meaning to get back to this one to say: what lovely playing, man. Bravo. A pleasure to watch your YT videos, catch some of your good vibe, and try to pick up a trick or two as well. Thanks so much.
Very cool- I have been working hard to try to put the shapes together. It's a slow road for me, but hopefully have a long time to get better! Also, "Trying to weed out the bullshit..." Amen brother. What you are offering here (for free) is pretty amazing- informational and inspiring. Don't waste any time on the haters.
Hi Guthrie, I've been an artist works subscriber since the COVID thanks for the excellent teaching glad you delete the troll stuff We're loving the obvious efforts you make Stay safe
I just love these little golden nuggets of information - I'll play a blues using the arpeggios of the 1,4,5 chords, but I'd never have thought to harmonize the notes like this! Signed up for Artistworks after watching some of the previous videos (really should get a video submitted!), well worth the price :-)
I’m going to spend a month studying the first two minutes of this video. (At half speed) I never play in B minor and this just fascinates me. I’ve been playing around with relative major and relative minor substitutions for quite a while. I also have also played around with four string groupings of inversions relevant to a finger stylist And recognize most of the chords you lay down. This ties exactly in with what I practice and I thank you for such beautiful music to study during these dark times.
Thank you Guthrie for sharing stuff like this. I love all the videos you posted over the past years, there's literally TONS of knowledge in there....very inspirational. You always make me remember not to overthink things and keep it simple and above all: tasty. Thanks so much! Keep 'm coming :-) And stay safe! BTW: Really liked your episode on the No Guitar is Safe podcast a while back, that was friggin' awesome! Cheers, Kris
Been following you for some time, Guthrie... Just gotta say what makes your videos so great. First of all, your style is perfect for someone like me who'd rather finesse the instrument rather than approach it like a gorilla. Secondly, your blending of styles within your own style is just brilliant. Most of all though, I feel like I can follow your train of thought better than most... You got a unique ability to blend the no-nonsense with enough "theory" to make it great. Thanks for puttin' it out there man.
I had a 1 hour lesson with Guthrie a few months ago and learned more in 60 minutes than in 6 years. I can not recommend it enough. My brain hurt from all the new guitar insights and things to practice. 👍🎸
I subscribe to many of the "great" guitar teaching TH-camrs and I like your channel the most. Your content is top tier. Thank you! I hope you get more subscribers, you deserve tenfolds at least.
I love the musicality of Guthrie's style.Some players have tons of tricks, but somehow dont sound that musical to me, and I cant listen to them a long time. I could listen to GTs style all day, and signed up for the full year at Artistworks as a result
This really helps. Going to focus on the chord changes. while keeping tempo. Its almost like a harmonized major scale. Have you ever met a guy named Frank DeBretti? He was my teacher when I was like 14 or 15. He's a session player in Nashville as well, definitely older than you.
Hi mate , that intro so just so good ! Could you please talk about it at some stage ..some of the chord voicing ect ! Wow luv that thx you for all your lessons and guidance! Cheers Leigh ( Sydney Australia) 🙏🏼🌊🎵
Thanks so much guys. Means a lot to me that you take the time to watch these. Not to mention add a thoughtful and inspiring comment. I hope everyone is happy and well. Cheers! GT
Thanks bud! I am totally blind, and am learning so much from you. Really appreciate it. Keep it up.
I’ve just started watching some of your videos the past few days. I love the way you play. Sadly I frequently have trouble following what you’re doing. But, this video, for whatever reason, makes some sense to me and gives me a roadmap of what to practice without feeling overwhelmed. Thank you.
My playing completely changed when I started following Guthrie and it’s for the better! Wish I found this sooner!
You are one of the only teachers that emphasizes chord shapes. That was a breakthrough for me. Like connect-the-dots puzzles, the chord shapes are the outlines for everything, and make visualizing triads, arpeggios, scales so much easier. Thank you!

Just started the series and yes you are exactly right.
@@jstevens501 I think you can get a free trial but I'm not 100% sure. Takes some work but it really opens up the fretboard.

See if you can find a copy of Fretboard Logic. It explains the chord forms and the associated scales and chord tones.
I will do that thank you
You are a great teacher Guthrie! Keep saying "the chord shapes, the chord shapes" because I learn something new every time. Also love when you show us these exercises to go with the concepts.

Thanks for the acoustic demonstration! I am pretty much an acoustic dominate! But I always enjoy your playing. :)

Makes so much sense! Great tips, thanks Guthrie!

Thanks for passing this on Guthrie! I can already tell this is helping to keep me from getting lost on the fretboard. ✌️
This makes so much sense in looking at arpeggios horizontally for me. Thank you for explaining the concept.
GT, you have a good soul! Thanks for your time to share this "snack" of fretboard knowledge! Be well and continue appreciating your blessings! See you around town....

Awesome job with the teaser! Thanks dude!!
Just love to hear you play. I can always glean something from your instruction and you inspire me to play.
Thx Guthrie! Always a pleasure watching and listening to your skilled musicianship!👍❤️😊🎸
Guthrie amazing timing. I've been wanting to learn more about going up and down the neck. Thank you so much. Your generousity is amazing along with that little bit you played at the beginning.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Very clean, nice touch !
Your humility is refreshing which matches your talent!
Brilliant! Thanks for connecting the dots. Now to go and imprint it in my brain.
Great lesson, Guthrie! Always appreciate your TH-cam lessons. Please come play more here in Georgia. Phil
Sir thank you for taking the time to give back alittle you have a good spirit
Very much appreciate your work on YT! Glad you're taking care of yourself. Hoping to dial in a lesson before too long. Cheers, stay well.
Thank you Guthrie! Perfect timing with this lesson!

CANT SAY IT ENOUGH!!! YOU’RE THE BEST GUTHRIE!!! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS WELL!!
Thanks G...welcome back!
Dang! Some serious channeling of Tony Rice while goofing around during the intro!
Wow that’s the best lesson I’ve had! Thanks!
I’ll tell you what that was!!! That was awesome! That’s what it was!
Just signed up to Guthrie's Artistworks course, it's outrageously good, so much to learn so little time ! Sign up now !!
That there 'a plunking on that there J-50 is/was most inspiring (...and beautiful as well)
Good stuff . Gibson sounds great . I appreciate the privilege of having access to your talent . I am on quarantine. Will have time to put your lesson to use !!
Thank you so much for your input into your lessons learning heaps love your lessons , keep up the great work keep safe cheers Peter from Tasmania the great island of Australia enjoy your day PS keep doing a road trip

Helping get people on the path is great. I call it the path to fluency.
Thanks G... love that old Gibson!!!
Fantastic masterclass, as the rest of your work. Thank you so much.
