So I watched this video, Then I went back to the guitar and learned my arpeggios, triads and associated scales.... Major, minor, seventh’s etc. I watched this video again, and was amazed at how much more I got out of it. Now I’m doing it a third time. I can’t wait to see my progress. Thanks to Brett and Guthrie!
Awesome! Way to go. Thanks for watching!
I’m new to arpeggios where is a printable version of what they are using? I’m trying to catch up with y’all.
@@emart74008 I actually made my own study sheet. I googled the arpeggios for Major, minor, Dominant 7th and did the same for the scales. I cut the scale pattern out, and glued it next to the appropriate arpeggio pattern. That way I can play the arp up, and the scale down or vice versa. They are pretty beat up but I can send you pictures of what I’m using.
@@benjaminforster4500 that would be great, I’ll compare it to what I’ve started and send you a copy
no way to post pdf here it seems
Keep having Guthrie back! You two work well together!
Yea, not to say they aren't great teachers separately (I always watch GT's videos especially, and Brett is a wealth of knowledge too), but I think the two of them together make an even more incredible teacher. Great dynamic they create as a team, and easily one of the best instructional teams I've ever seen.
Will do! Glad to hear you like the duo haha!
That lightbulb moment you talk about in your CAGED course. I just had it. You and Guthrie are awesome teachers together.
Awesome! Way to go! I love hearing that! Keep it up!
Yeah ,you guys make a great teaching partnership
They are for sure. Best combination ever.
Guthrie...you DO have something to gain by showing how to play. And I believe your giving spirit is driving your success. Many thanks, dude.
I echo that 100%.
@@Jeff_H_the_Guitarist 200%
@@jcgood 300%
400%
Sorry, fellas.You've all fallen short. I actually echo what he said by 500% and, according to the latest in scientific research, that is the absolute maximum that a thing can be echoed.....
the trick for me when i was young, was learning licks i liked the sound of in the scales i was learning, then implementing them in little jams and what not. the more you do it, the more you get a sense of how the scales work, sound and feel under your fingers. then you can start to visualise the fretboard based on that. this is really great stuff, best tutorials out there
Absolutely brilliant. Guthrie is not only a really nice guy and a great guitarist, but he can also explain what he is doing in a really clear, understandable way. Bret, many thanks for bringing us these lessons with Guthrie and Corey.
You bet! Thanks for checking it out!
@@BrettPapa Thank you, Brett.
The A-Bm-D-A progression is used throughout the song "What's up" by 4 non blondes. It is a great progression to work on "playing the changes" . Good choice guys. Great lesson! Thanks!
You are so right about that light bulb moment. I have been playing for 35 years and have known how to play with out really knowing how to play. When you learn what you already have learned it's like wow the entire world of guitar opens up and says"come in and relax and have a great time".
Brett! I really think this may have been one of the best videos you and Guthrie have put together that explains the relationship between the chord, the scale, and the arpeggio. I feel I'm almost at the light-bulb moment. Going to watch it again here shortly. Huge thanks to you and Guthrie for putting this material together! You guys ROCK!!
The teamwork with them is so natural and unassuming, but right on track and to the point. Not to mention entertaining as hell, I had a great time watching this one especially.
Awesome man! Glad you think so. It’s always a great hang with Mr. Trapp. One of my favorite peeps and players for sure!
Guthrie Trapp is a gdamn genius on that Gibson. Brett is a real ambassador of knowledge and he makes this spinning rock a little better everyday.
Bless them both and bless you too(b). ^-^
Haha! Thanks!
Thanks!
I just got schooled. Not only is his playing technically amazing, but he plays with so much soul and life.
For sure!
These two are to guitar education as Screech Powers and Zack Morris are to 80's shirts. FREAKING AMAZING.
Haha. Awesome! Glad ya think so!
Philosophy from the home of electric guitar....................generous, friendly and just solid.......just get it together and compose the anthem. Thanks a million.
You are welcome!
24:25 opens the door to the universe! For the first time I feel like I can get from here to there. Thank you both!!
You are welcome!
I never comment on these videos, but I wanted to thank you for this one!
This video is the best I have EVER watched and exactly what I have been looking for. A+++
Currently, I just suck of melodic leads. I vaguely know these principals but hearing Guthrie explain it and see him apply it is like finding that missing needed piece. Been playing guitar for many many years. I have above average cord knowledge, but the ideas of playing around cords eluded me. Most talk about the pentatonic. I can play the pentatonic major and minor but could never make it sound musically natural the way I like. I am so excited to start this new path.
That is awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!
2 of my favorite guitar players.
Thanks John!
Drooling over the cherry burst on that 335 sort of mat finish
Haha! Great guitar!
I've been on this outlining chords and pentatonic practice for quite a bit now.. Breaking away from the normal play a scale thing .. wow can I just say it is sinking in and also is helping me pick out parts of songs identification of chord tones ... Thank you for putting this out and opening up a new Avenue to for those not familiar...
Awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in!
Dude that intro was unbelievable keep it up
Will do!
Yea, I was inspired to learn that one. Talk about smooth melodic playing, wow yes and more wow.
Ditto. That intro and outro solo were so tasty!!!
@@paulnamestka4587 It would taste like strings and finger filth I would think
Guthrie is the guitar teacher I was id had all that time ago. You can tell he really cares about people learning he's a true gentlemen of the instrument and an top player modest as they come.
Yep he does. Great teacher great dude!
Guthrie's the best!! Thanks so much for bringing him on again!
Sure thing!
Brett, once again, thanks for doing this! You are such an awesome player, don't shortchange yourself!
Guthrie, what you just showed us was brilliant: "My Girl" is an excellent example to illustrate what you're talking about! I know so many guys get lost trying to understand how to play lead, and they don't understand when you say, "Play over the chords or chord changes." But when you showed an arpeggio, then played that "My Girl" riff and showed the chords under it, that was great.
Thanks Jeff! Compared to Guthrie we all could use a little work lol! He is a fantastic teacher!
Guthrie is probably my favorite player you've had on. He's absolutely incredible.
He is a beast! One of my favorite peeps too. Great dude!
13:12 to 13:24 is the ticket. Ultimate example of excellent melodic phrasing and perfectly executed which GT is so great at.
Thanks again GT & Papa
Sure thing!
This is the most concise and comprehensive video lesson on scales, triads, chord inversions, diatonic harmonies, arpeggios and intervals. Covers pretty much everything on improvising, very impressive. Thanks a ton for you both for putting this out. One of the most valuable lessons I've ever seen in here. A true masterclass.
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but over 55 years of learning to play guitar, here's one that rings true most of the time: The better the musician, the more generous they are with their knowledge and encouragement. The poser's creed is "Listen to how good I am . . . and weep, you loser." Meanwhile, the better musicians say, "We are all learners -- keep at it -- let's all improve."
Proof: Guthrie. Thanks, Brett, for bringing him to your channel.
Sure thing! I love chillin with Guthrie he is one of my favorite peeps!
I have never watched a 40 minute TH-cam video. I can barely make it through others 5-10 minutes.. This is just an amazing lesson. GT is a great teacher.
Thanks for checking it out!
Finally figured out how this works. When playing over the changes you need to listen to the chords being played, while at the same time play lead over the correct chords. This is the only way to not get lost at what chord your playing leads over. Sounds simple and almost redundant but its harder than it seems.
Yep for sure. Takes some work but worth it in the end!
G Trapp one of the best guitar players alive period
For sure!
Man, I could listen to you guys play together all day! This was absolutely beautiful and so many wonderful little mini lessons throughout. Whenever I watch videos with Guthrie, it takes me several days to get through all the little bits that he covers in the course of like 30-40 minutes. Thanks so much for posting such wonderful content!
You are welcome!
This video made my day, probably my week. The lesson was great but even greater still is the character each of you display. You both seem like very cool people. We need more of that.
Thanks! Glad you think so! It’s always a blast to hang with Guthrie!
Brett, thanks for keeping these videos long. I'm getting so much out of you and Guthrie working together. Please keep doing these! An idea for the next video - give him chords outside of the key so we can see how he phrases melodies that are a little more outside the box. Thanks again! I have both yours and Guthrie's courses and love them.
You are welcome! Thanks for the support!
WOW!! I wish I had seen this 20 years ago! Magnificent lesson!
Thanks guys! You guys are amazing! Much appreciated!
Thanks!
Damn GT it hit me what makes you so ridiculously good is your choice of target notes. Every time I'm listening to you I'm constantly saying " why can't my brain think of that?" Thanks fellas
Haha! You are welcome!
Guthrie, you are a saint for finishing your sentences and thoughts here! The man you're playing with already understands all you are sharing, but your target audience does not. - This is a common problem when two skilled players are together on a video, and one is sharing info for a lesser skilled audience. The other guy responds as though he's talking to him, when in reality he's spelling-it-out for that other audience.
It's great to see Guthrie Trapp & Papa Stache giving lessons together again! Incredibly valuable and informative!
Thanks for checking us out!
This is absolutely golden information for any aspiring player. Learn the chords, learn the fretboard and it doesn’t feel like the hard yards learning theory. Also, been chasing “sounds” for a while, new pedals etc. Clean guitar sounds, cleaner technique. Both great players, thanks for this.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!
papa n guthrie together brings bunch of information wid simple ideas n full of melody n ecouragement. Alwaz admire both of u guys for providing such grt lessons for free. 😊
You are welcome!
A lightbulb just came on! Thanks guys!
Sweet! Way to go!
Thank you and congratulations to both of you for giving us such a great video! The way you both took the time to explain this concept so slowly and carefully was perfect. I really think you guys nailed the explanation of playing over the changes in a way that most videos miss. I'm a big fan of both of your videos/teaching styles and think you are changing the game here on youtube for guitar playing education. A big bonus is that you both seem like great people and seem to have a good time recording these lessons. I have purchased video lessons from both of you guys and can say that I have learned a ton and am a better player for it. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Man that’s awesome! Great to hear! Glad the videos are making a difference!
Gents, your generosity with your time and talents are much appreciated. It's very helpful.
Sure thing!
Guthrie is so smooth. If I could play like anyone, it would have to be me, but like that. Right up my alley.
For sure! Guthrie is the man!
"The reason it sounds like we're playing over the chord changes is because we ARE."
Lol!
Wow turning GT loose at the end is a beautiful thing !!
This is the best lesson I have come across on the internet. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Mind blown at 32:20... Guthrie and Papastache have changed my playing after 20 years. Thank you!
Sweet man! Glad we could help!
Amazing lesson.
Thanks!
This guy, Guthrie, is a real master. And, I think he really wants to help the rest of us better. That is something you don't see often.
He is the man! Great guy too!
Very R&B sounding at the end there with some of those licks. Guthrie always puts a smile on my face.
Me too!
Brett, you're the man, for bringing on The Man. We all win.
No you da man!
@@BrettPapa lol - agreed
Thanks BP and GT! You guys are great
Thanks! Thanks for tuning in!
OH my LORD! mindblown! You guys are awesome! This is why I support ($$ to buy your courses, both you & GT) online teaching courses! I can't believe this was a FREEBEE! The room WAS dimly lit as my fretboard knowledge and CAGED understanding is growing fast.....BUT this was HUGE!.....I'm able to tie the CAGED triads using 1 & 2-octave arpeggios transitioning 1, 3 5 target notes UP & DOWN the fretboard! HOLY CRAP.....This is really happening in my mind and translating to my fingers. I LOVE you guys!
Thanks for the support! Glad you liked the video! Thanks for tuning in!
I finally had an AHUH moment thanks to Guthrie's explanation. This is awesome! Thank you Brett for making this video.
Yes, this is brilliant boys!
Sometimes you have to see the same information over and over until it finally goes in. It just did. Thanks to you both from England..... another great video. Namaste x
For sure! Thanks for checking it out!
As far as technical skills, I'm still very much a beginner, but I feel my understanding is at the intermediate level, and these videos are a big reason for that. Thanks!
Awesome!
just spent 20 minutes on 32:11 getting that lick down but I got it now I have to spend a week to get it down fast! Thanks Guthrie you are the best on you tube!
Haha!
i cant believe im watching this free, unbelievable! thank you very much!
Haha well you can give us money if you want lol!
Hey Guthrie and Papa this is great as always! and Guthrie I think we might be ready for those fancy licks at 32:30 bring it on! I've learnt so much from you now!
More coming soon!
Really enjoy learning from the two of us, your videos have been really helping me move along as a player, thank you! Both of you do a great job explaining the theory behind what's going without being dull.
Sure thing! Glad you like them!
papastache and guthrie - match made in guitar heaven. i watch everything from these guys and this one is my favourite so far. always loved papastache but these guys together - just wow!
Haha! Thanks. Love playing with Guthrie. So inspiring.
Mr Stache, I very much appreciate your interviewing style. You are appreciated because you ask all the questions that any curious guitarist should! U make everything crystal clear.
Thanks man! Glad you think so! It's a fun gig to have!
Thanks Guthrie this is an amazing.lesson . I am from the Cayman islands i.watch your videos all the time.
Sure thing!
Worth watching 40min long lesson i just couldn't stop. Every minute was so informative and practical. My self i am a guitar teacher and i know how long it takes to understand simple ideas. Most of the time we think we are very far but it's around us. Thanks a lot Brett and Guthrie. Really appreciate.
Sure thing Tej! Glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks for watching!
I love you Guthrie!
He loves you too!
This is one of the best videos I have seen you do!!!
Thanks for sharing this information!!!
Let me know if you do one on one instructions…
Yeah, I like em all. You and your guests are all very humble.
Thanks for checking us out!
can't believe you guys are doing this once again , learned so much about soloing over chord changes from last time. thank you so much for doing this again. GT & Papa stache
Awesome to hear! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
STICKING Like GLUE. Wow. Made my Saturday morning... and way beyond.. Once again thanks for your under the fingers wisdom and patience in your Teaching. Thanks Papastache for your humble encouragement and grace to let Guthrie run with it!
Thanks for checking us out!
Very, very good. Thanks!
Sweet! Thanks!
Beautiful and tastefully done.
Thanks for checking it out!
5:40 This is why it's more practical to name the strings as "first, second, third..." etc., instead of saying the note of the string which makes it confusing with the actual notes you are playing. "third fret on the second string is D" instead of saying "third fret on the B string is D".
literally sitting in front of monitor watching and digesting all info with my strat, thank you guys!
You are welcome! Thanks for checking us out!
I keep coming back just to hear that intro jam. So sweet
Glad you like it!
Wow ... That first series over A to Bm was spectacular. Love Guthrie’s playing and voicing so much. Watch the opening a half dozen times and inspired for the day ... Thanks fellas ...
Awesome! Glad ya liked it!
papastache102 love ya too papstache - been watching since your “got a little drunk last night” video years ago, using the Divided by 13. 🤘😎
Two of my favorite guitar players
Thanks Frankie!
Just outstanding as always, guys. Brett, thanks for bringing Guthrie to us, what a talent, and you are great at pulling the gems from him (and trying to keep him focussed!)
As an instructor myself, I know it's hard to reign ourselves in sometimes. As players we're using to thinking of these things in micro seconds, but that's counter to being able to teach someone who doesn't have the same things down already. Guthrie just has so much more to teach about every little nuance, he is like a prize race horse at the gate, and beyond merely focused, lols.
Sure thing!
Brett and Guthrie .....we are with friends of us , all around the world, watching our iPad ! Awesome 👏
Thanks!
I love these vids. Ford Thurston and Guthrie have been introduced to me via your videos. ya'll are inspiring
Awesome! Nice to hear you are liking the vids! Thanks for checking them out!
Brilliant lesson that I could have done with 50 years ago !!! The 'magic' of music is highlighted at around 24.00 when Guthrie starts to go beyond outline the chord tones - suddenly you have an intro to a classic R&B tune intro with the building blocks explained in the previous 24 minutes :-)
Yep Guthrie is a great teacher. A true talent at playing and instruction as well!
Fairdinkum fellas...This is pure GOLD!!! If only I'd seen this 30 years ago, Oh well guess it's never too late to get stuck in. Thanks heaps what a brilliant and insightful video lesson. Keep them coming and get over to Australia soon. Cheers Marty from Melbourne.
Awesome! Will do!
I'm so happy that Brett is in the room to c
reign in Guthrie's utter ADHD when he's explaining and playing things. (I mean... It's so cool to hear the genius of Guthrie but boy does he jump off track!)
I learned a ton from watching you two. Thanks!
Lol!
That was great Brett. Really enjoy listening to both of you play. Wow, lots to work on. Thanks.
You are welcome! Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome. Love you guys !! Why am i living france and not Nashville ? !!! Everything is connected...wahouuu. It’s magic when you understand and it’s a real pleasure to practice.
Haha! Sweet man! Glad you liked it!
Another class lesson, these vids are helping me so much. Thanks guys
You are welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
Great lesson! By the way, it was Robert White of the Funk Brothers at Motown that came up with and played the “My Girl” line.
Guthrie just sounds great. Some people are really good at playing chords and scales but it doesn’t sound like music.
Yep
@@BrettPapa love your playing too Brett. Love some Hendrix you played on your Tele
One of the most enlightening videos I’ve seen in a long long time. If the human race took your open book approach starting 2000 years ago, we would all be using 100% of our brain by now. Thanks guys was awesome.
Haha! Thanks for watching!
Two of my favorite players on TH-cam thanks for the great lesson guys!

Thanks Malcolm. Glad you liked it.
Such fun and a great learning journey gr8 relationship, so natural together.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Can anyone explain to me what he means at the 30:50 he says thats my E7 because theres my E9. what does he mean by that? I know what the two chords are, but what is the correlation/relation he is saying when he says since its an E7 theres my E9
Heck of a lesson guys thank you so much,have a good holiday.
Thanks so much John!
Thanks for the lessons you both. Greetings from Tanzania East Africa
Im the First. Great as always. I love Guthrie‘s playing. Thanks Brett from Germany
Sure thing!
It was like "BINGO" in my head. It is the most obvious explanation I've ever known. Many thanks.
Sure thing!
Congratulations
Oh my God man! I just came up with this beautiful melodic riff...from this lesson...Its all coming together. I study You guys daily on here....Thank you Guthrie and Thank you Papa
You are welcome Paul! Thanks for watching!
