Hey guys, thanks so much for all these inspiring comments. It means the world to me. No comment goes unread, I just hate that I can’t respond in depth to everyone personally. Thanks again and keep up the good work!! GT
I agree with you, if you want the “put your first finger on the first string first fret” stuff, buy a course. The stuff you provide here is conceptual and if you hear a lick you like, use your ear to figure it out. You can even slow it down on TH-cam. I wish this kind of technology was available when I was learning, but maybe wearing out some of my favorite LP’s was better in the long run.
The people that dont get it dont understand what a gem you are that we get to learn from you. Ive played for 32 years, toured all over, played shred metal and would consider myself a good guitar player and one of your just jamming, improv intros changed my life. Basic foundational triad runs that you made awesome that I had never built on and it blew my mind. You are a top tier musician and one of my all time favorite guitar players ever. Thank you.
I apologize in advance for the length of this comment. Thank you for what you do. It is so appreciated. You are an inspiration. Thank you for pushing us a bit. Most of us need it. You do it because you are passionate about wanting us to learn this amazing instrument. You have generously provided a masterclass here, for free. I am about to dive into your new Truefire course, but now will spend time digesting this first. You have touched on these concepts (notes from the previous chord that lead into the root or third of the next chord) several times before but now go into detail. You are kind of giving away part of the store here, but you want to be helpful. Please don’t change anything about your approach. It is perfect for intermediate players who already know the notes on the fretboard, chord and scale structure, and intervals. It is frustrating for an intermediate player when a teacher has to spend time saying which fret on which string to put which finger because the teacher, understandably, wants to speak to beginners as well as intermediate players. People: buy the courses. Guitar teachers have to make a living. What they do on TH-cam is a gift. Appreciate it. Beginner players: please don’t take offense to my comments here. The guitar is so rewarding, and I wouldn’t want to say anything to steer you away from it. Just take what you find here as inspiration. There are many, many teachers on TH-cam who will teach you the basics. Having said that, as Guthrie has said, if you just slow down his videos and take them note for note you will learn so much. it is time well spent. But it is on you to learn the basics. You won’t regret it. And then you will be in position to absorb the teachings of the greats, like Guthrie Trapp.
Excellent comment. Guthrie, Uncle Larry, several others give us so much information. It really is such a wonderful gift. Many thanks to you Mr. Trapp. You're a beast.
Guthrie, I took your artist works course for 6 months a few years ago, which I extended for three more months. I can’t say how much this time helped my playing. I am 62:and played in bars all my life. Before these lessons, I knew how to play songs but I can’t say I truly knew how to play. I now play quite a lot with my eyes shut because I always know where I am on the fretboard. That is what your lessons did for me and I can’t thank you enough! One of these days, I’ll get down to Nashville to see you and your band live! Sincerely, Ian
It's truly ridiculous to complain about your presentation. To it's like being invited into your home like a friend saying hey bro check this out. That works just fine for me.
Guthrie, most of us live in the real world. I along with many others realize the we all have to earn a living. What you provide to us is the desire to learn more about guitar and how it works harmonically. I appreciate all you provide us about the basics of chord structure and melody. This is a close to a free lunch as possible. Heartfelt thanks for all you provide.
I've only had a couple opportunities to meet a great player and talk to them about guitar. Steve Morse was an incredibly gracious guy. He sat down at our table during a break and just talked guitars and life as a pro player. I just soaked in every bit of insight and knowledge I could get out of it. That's the way I look at your videos my friend. Whatever you are able to share here about the things that you have learned, I'm here for it, and just grateful you are taking the time to do it. Thanks Guthrie. Appreciate you.
The part about the ear is so important. I’ve tried to teach some kids to play (I’m your age Guthrie), and it’s like they look at it like a video game. “Well, I put my fingers in the right place at the right time. What else do you want!?” That’s what they seem to think. It’s like a physical exercise. It’s not!!! It’s music. Use your ear kiddos. I love these videos! I’ve learned so much, and I watch them for inspiration for new chord progressions to jam.
Dude I get it. Started your TrueFire yesterday 👍And I’m at the point where I’m following everything even though I don’t have it. I’m getting it. Wish some would have been more blunt about what I needed a long time ago. Your talk yesterday is opening it up for me. Thanks appreciate what you do!!
Thank you this is the one that showed me the most. Almost slow enough to follow I got a watch it 50 times to get it lol. But yes these are it this is what I've been waiting for my whole life lol
The first 5 minutes of this video were just excellent. Some beautiful playing and then an honest, heartfelt, balanced and informative response to comments...delivered with good nature and with a smile on your face. Just brilliant and even more reason for anyone watching your videos to become connected and engaged. All that might sound complicated so for the sake of simplicity, it's enough to say just keep being yourself and keep doing what you do! 👍
25 years ago I was told to play the changes. I learned w/ TAB. Now I'm learning Jazz. This is a gift. Thank you. I wish I had heard it then as well as you explain it. PLAY THE CHANGES !!!!!!!!!!🥾🥾🥾kicking myself🥾🥾
Not just a stellar player - also a top quality human! Keep doing what you do - don’t let the sad people get you down. Your fans will always have your back amigo.
I dig this channel, love that there's now some real guys showin their stuff. I may be wrong but Guthrie looks like the type who'd destroy a beer too. Gotta love that.
Hi Guthrie. I have been playing guitar for more than 40 years. Have played in several good bands, write music and can make it work. +2 years ago I realized that I really knew very little about music, how things are connected etc. So I started a journey. Have watched endles youtube videos, bought many of the “be great in 1 hour’ish” type of courses. Honestly all crap, and I have been very frustrated. Just could not see the big picture and connect the dots. Heard many people talk about “when it suddenly clicked” it just did not happen to me. BUT your video, right here, it suddently happend. Almost like all the puzzle (or at least some of it) suddendly showed a clear picture. Now I’m on the right track and Im impressed how quickly I progress having found the right track. I know that many out there feel like me, and my clear experience is, that it makes no sense to follow all the “fastmoving wonder-kids” that can bring you to pro level if you fpllow their cource. Follow the real musicians. Thanks Guthrie, you make a difference. Well… actually to make the world a better place and more peacefull. With music and an instrument in our hands there is no space for weapons :-)
Appreciate you Guthrie - one of the best! Your TH-cam videos are very helpful and much appreciated! Regarding any complaints...my advice - just be a duck (water off your back). Don't let anyone get you down. You are on point and the vast majority of us truly appreciate your time and effort! Best to you!
The way I see it “ personally “ the beginning playing in every video is the intro and then the intro to the lesson follows, again that’s how I interpret it BUT I understand it and I love the content. Keep up the great work buddy 💪🏻
Guthrie, you do put 35 years of experience into these videos, I'm amazed at how much you share. And, thank you! The last vid was the whole business...just real fast! I've been in one of your courses, but these visits really really help. Thanks again!
I know it’s been a year, but the value you and the guys like Uncle Larry and Brett Papa bring is so huge without any investment other than watching what you out in TH-cam.
Hey Guthrie - long time fan and just want to tell you how grateful I am for sharing your life and experiences with us here. I can't wait for the Buk/Trapp album. Thanks for putting up with the knuckleheads and hanging with us anyway.
Don’t ever let the comment section get to ya brother! Folks like you and Uncle Larry have made me and a lot of other guys way better players… even after 30+ years. I’ll continue to support you guys in any way I can… with my favorite being seeing some live music.
Dude shreds! Its funny how he really is limited with theory. This is him saying this, not me. And then plays the most beautiful piece of music. Blows my mind. I watch his vids over and over hopin something sticks! I saw him live couple weeks ago. Hes a bad man.
Your channel is great! When I started playing I learned from watching other players - no instruction from the players - just watched their hands as they played their gig. If they were really generous they would give 5 minutes over a beer after the gig. Watching you is so helpful!
Let those comments go GT, what you and Uncle Larry are doing is inspiring us all to pick up our guitars and try and get better, you guys are killing it brother🙏🤙
I love that you just play something and talk about guitar playing Guthrie. Totally understand - it's not a lesson plan folks - it's an insight into things that you didn't have before. Thanks Guthrie - thank you bud!
Your physicality and right-handedness makes you the perfect Telecaster player. You have total control over that thing. The way your right hand can mute, plus pick and fingerpick. But the real prize is your melodic construction and I love the way you set things up, and then sometimes let them melt away with passing tones and jazzy runs. ...melting away a country twang structure. Like country jazz. Nashville players are the best players, and they are all right handed.
Next time someone says anything negative about your vids ask him what his job is then ask him to come paint your house for free or come cut your lawn or fix your truck for free. Clowns they must be if they don't appreciate free lessons from one of Nashville's finest pickers. Your a legend bro keep it up, thanks from sunny Liverpool.
Bought the bundle today from TrueFire. Hard to beat for $50 to get both courses, GT. Thank you for all you do, and by the way, I'm one of those that gets it!
You do YOU, Guthrie. That's why I'm here. I'm sure it's why most are here. I've said the same thing to Tom while Homeskoolin'. You're both unique players. I celebrate that! You're also both unique in how you convey what it is you choose to convey through your videos. I celebrate that too! And -- I absolutely cannot wait for the CD to be released. An entire CD of you and Tom. Wow. May it be...just the beginning, even though it's been a long road for you and Tom, getting to it. Peace, love, and music.
Mr. Guthrie, Your videos are great They make me wanna work harder and you are blazing a trail. You just keep swinging!! Your terminology and cord knowledge is staggering. Again thank you but I promise you I’m gonna get it. I’m gonna buy one of those cool black shirts too! Ha! And the very last thin that I want to do is To Say. I’ve been hittin some hard traveling too! Just keep on !!!
Anyone who complains is a silly fool. You can learn tons of information by just watching and listening. Listening to the chord choices , melodies, advice . Thanks.
Guthrie I soak up everything you show us on these videos. I will be getting your new Truefire course too. It is amazing stuff for me as an enthusiast to listen to a gigging musician who makes complicated stuff accessible. Love it. Ronan
Guthrie. Your positivity and generosity sharing your world class experience is the best. I’ve improved my playing majorly just through exploring your “Chord, Arpeggio, Pentatonic, Major scale” approach. It hasn’t cost me a cent, but it’s inspired me to sign up for your lessons. So, what you’re doing works to sell courses, but it also helps a bunch of people out for free.
WOw, what more can I say dude ! You are the absolute bomb. Giving out real practical & immediately useable knowledge, in a clear & considered way. What I love is your passion for passing on knowledge, without trying to just sell the classic, I’ll drop you some hints then you “buy my package” deal. I picked up a guitar over 15 years ago and have been trying to learn just through intuition from playing drums in my teens. Progressed as most people do by watching online content to the intermediate stage, and then got stuck in a rut for years. I could make a great noise just playing chords along with all the rock bands I like, but when it comes time to solo over chords, shit goes south quickly & it’s hit or miss ! With watching your content & explanation around CAGED & triads, you have made a huge difference in just a few days :-) Just keep up the good work ! From a very grateful fan. Know that your content is really, valuable & valued. Billy from the Uk You are truly “ Rocking It”
Man G I have met many cats Who have shown me a lick here or a riff there that has influenced my approach to these 6 strings over the years bro. Love the way you play, thanks for all the insight. This is why we really love to play this Thang!
Sir. What you teach on your YT channel are really good lessons. I do enjoy your free form jam at the first. You are providing a wonderful free lesson and service with each video. A guitar player of your caliber teaching is really great. I think that sometimes you are over the head of some of us because you are so experienced. I have learned so much from you my friend. I have to go back and revisit your older videos again and again. Thank you for what you are doing.
You are totally right Guthrie. You are DEMONSTRATING what is possible through your paid lessons. With all the free content you put out most people get it. Thanks for everything
You do a great job Guthrie! I appreciate all your videos and teaching. You are an inspiration to all of us and keep me motivated to learn new things. The guitar community is growing thanks to you. Keep up the good work!
For real man, thanks for what you do here on TH-cam, you have opened my eyes to quite a few things and I’ve been playing guitar for a long time. I believe you are more generous with your knowledge than most others.
Become the cord become the note the melody the harmony. Your ears right there's a deepness to that and understanding. So there's a fine line do you want to know more stuff or do you want to have complete control and mastery and on-call what you already know.. do you want complexity or do you want to have simplicity.
Man, I don't come here to how to play stuff, mainly because I can't play like you😂😂 I come here to watch and listen, but it does inspire me to keep playing, because I always feel good about music after I watch one of new videos, and end up grabbing a guitar afterwards.
been playing for decades-almost signed even- and STILL learn every time you play man…and you sold me on your artist works stuff through these you tube short videos 😎
I forgot what a great player Guthrie is. I haven't watched in a while, but there are always great nuggets of information in his videos. Like the idea of playing the triads across each set of 3 strings in every position possible. Just a great exercise to hammer the way the fretboard works into your memory.
Your videos are so great. I hear these phrases in my head and while I don’t know theory, I’ve learned these patterns by just playing. Stimulates my playing watching and listening to this. Thank you!
Do your thing, Guthrie. I sure enjoy it. I tell my brother the cool thing about yours and Tom's stuff is like getting a chance to hang with great players. You guys have both given me stuff that I'm still working on. Tom's grab the 3rd and the 5th during progressions was gold. Keep on!
I appreciate what you do. I think your calling is inspiring all of us lesser mortal guitar players to just try a little harder. Think a little more. And you routinely make me feel that is possible. And I’ve been playing a while.
Thank you for doing these videos they put me in a great mood listening to you play and talk. Heard you a long time ago in the caverns with 18 south and love the path you’re blazing.
Love you GT. It’s such a joy to see and hear every second of everything you do on here. It all has value. That fact that you give us your time in a relaxed conversational manner is priceless. Pay close attention guys…there are hugely useful nuggets of guitar wizardry on display here. 👊🏼⚡️💥🎸
Guthrie the GOAT! Thank you for the lessons. Loving your TrueFire course right now. Appreciate you sharing your talents and thoughts on playing. I’ve improved so much as a result of your videos
Hey guys, thanks so much for all these inspiring comments. It means the world to me. No comment goes unread, I just hate that I can’t respond in depth to everyone personally. Thanks again and keep up the good work!! GT

Hear, hear!!
I'm glad other serious guitarists (pro or am) are beginning to find these
What a kick ass opening riff.
Guthrie my guy.. don't let the comments section get to you.
I think negative comments stem from that person’s frustrations, I know I get like that because I just need to learn how to learn it.
I have so much to thank you for keep it up for us to learn 1/24 of your skill
Ignore the idiots. Thank you for all your inspiration. Please don’t stop
I apologize in advance for the length of this comment. Thank you for what you do. It is so appreciated. You are an inspiration. Thank you for pushing us a bit. Most of us need it. You do it because you are passionate about wanting us to learn this amazing instrument. You have generously provided a masterclass here, for free.

I concur
Amen!
Excellent comment. Guthrie, Uncle Larry, several others give us so much information. It really is such a wonderful gift. Many thanks to you Mr. Trapp. You're a beast.
who can complain about all this free guitar teaching by GT. thank you man.
Guthrie, I took your artist works course for 6 months a few years ago, which I extended for three more months. I can’t say how much this time helped my playing.

Thanks Guthrie. Appreciate you.
What a great memory with SM. His "The Introduction" is still one of my favorite guitar oriented albums, along with Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow.
6:26 That’s great advice! 👍
The part about the ear is so important. I’ve tried to teach some kids to play (I’m your age Guthrie), and it’s like they look at it like a video game. “Well, I put my fingers in the right place at the right time.

Not just a stellar player - also a top quality human! Keep doing what you do - don’t let the sad people get you down. Your fans will always have your back amigo.
I dig this channel, love that there's now some real guys showin their stuff. I may be wrong but Guthrie looks like the type who'd destroy a beer too. Gotta love that.
Finding Everything I need just watching & Practicing what you say. Progress Abound.
Hi Guthrie. I have been playing guitar for more than 40 years. Have played in several good bands, write music and can make it work. +2 years ago I realized that I really knew very little about music, how things are connected etc. So I started a journey. Have watched endles youtube videos, bought many of the “be great in 1 hour’ish” type of courses. Honestly all crap, and I have been very frustrated. Just could not see the big picture and connect the dots. Heard many people talk about “when it suddenly clicked” it just did not happen to me. BUT your video, right here, it suddently happend.

I know that many out there feel like me, and my clear experience is, that it makes no sense to follow all the “fastmoving wonder-kids” that can bring you to pro level if you fpllow their cource. Follow the real musicians. Thanks Guthrie, you make a difference. Well… actually to make the world a better place and more peacefull. With music and an instrument in our hands there is no space for weapons :-)
Appreciate you Guthrie - one of the best! Your TH-cam videos are very helpful and much appreciated! Regarding any complaints...my advice - just be a duck (water off your back). Don't let anyone get you down. You are on point and the vast majority of us truly appreciate your time and effort! Best to you!
Great honest expose about what a professional musician has to do to make a living!
Weather easy or hard all free lessons are appreciated. Thanks, and God bless you.
That intro lick- sweet! Totally stealing that.
Some ppl will never get it… These videos are pure gold!!! Thank you Guthrie!
The way I see it “ personally “ the beginning playing in every video is the intro and then the intro to the lesson follows, again that’s how I interpret it BUT I understand it and I love the content. Keep up the great work buddy 💪🏻
Don’t change how you do things… These videos are perfect
I understand. Keep it going, brother! ✌️
Spot on Guthrie, these are advanced techniques and insights into how to play guitar music 🎶 and all for FREE thank you for your time GT.
Guthrie, you do put 35 years of experience into these videos, I'm amazed at how much you share. And, thank you! The last vid was the whole business...just real fast! I've been in one of your courses, but these visits really really help. Thanks again!
Love your show!👍👍
The T-shirts look great! All the books look great but that Malabo one looks super interesting!
I know it’s been a year, but the value you and the guys like Uncle Larry and Brett Papa bring is so huge without any investment other than watching what you out in TH-cam.
Hey Guthrie - long time fan and just want to tell you how grateful I am for sharing your life and experiences with us here. I can't wait for the Buk/Trapp album. Thanks for putting up with the knuckleheads and hanging with us anyway.
So fresh. What an artist. What an inspiration. What a monster player. Keeps me trying.........
Don’t ever let the comment section get to ya brother! Folks like you and Uncle Larry have made me and a lot of other guys way better players… even after 30+ years. I’ll continue to support you guys in any way I can… with my favorite being seeing some live music.
I want this to change my guitar life! I'm 60 years old and I still want to learn. Keep this stuff coming.
You always open up new pathways for me. Thank you
your intros are some of the best guitar music out there! Just keep doing your stuff your way.
Dude shreds! Its funny how he really is limited with theory. This is him saying this, not me. And then plays the most beautiful
piece of music. Blows my mind. I watch his vids over and over hopin something sticks!
I saw him live couple weeks ago. Hes a bad man.
Brother…. Thanks for speaking out… however as always thank you for sharing I always learn and get inspired by your videos.
Into 4 years with daily practice learned a lot from GT. Thanks ur videos old and new i always come back and take something with me.
Thanks for all you share for FREE! Much appreciated, each and every trick, lick and insight. Cheers, Mate!!
Your channel is great! When I started playing I learned from watching other players - no instruction from the players - just watched their hands as they played their gig. If they were really generous they would give 5 minutes over a beer after the gig. Watching you is so helpful!

The T Shirts are great, you guys made the right move using real Ts and not some Gildan garbage. Nice work, and the art is slick on both of those.
Next time someone says anything negative about your vids ask him what his job is then ask him to come paint your house for free or come cut your lawn or fix your truck for free. Clowns they must be if they don't appreciate free lessons from one of Nashville's finest pickers. Your a legend bro keep it up, thanks from sunny Liverpool.

Mr. Guthrie,
Your videos are great
They make me wanna work harder and you are blazing a trail. You just keep swinging!! Your terminology and cord knowledge is staggering.
Again thank you but I promise you I’m gonna get it. I’m gonna buy one of those cool black shirts too! Ha! And the very last thin that I want to do is To Say. I’ve been hittin some hard traveling too!
Just keep on !!!
Wow-you are incredible.
Sweet guitar 🎸 it's sounds butternasty 🔥
Anyone who complains is a silly fool. You can learn tons of information by just watching and listening. Listening to the chord choices , melodies, advice . Thanks.
Love your courses on AW and Truefire! Can't believe you have time to do these great sessions on TH-cam too. Thanks!
Guthrie I soak up everything you show us on these videos. I will be getting your new Truefire course too. It is amazing stuff for me as an enthusiast to listen to a gigging musician who makes complicated stuff accessible. Love it. Ronan
Thx Guthrie for taking the time to make these videos. It is appreciated.
Thank you Guthrie for your time and inspiration! Much appreciated!
You are the coolest guy on the planet GT! Totally love you man!
Guthrie. Your positivity and generosity sharing your world class experience is the best. I’ve improved my playing majorly just through exploring your “Chord, Arpeggio, Pentatonic, Major scale” approach. It hasn’t cost me a cent, but it’s inspired me to sign up for your lessons. So, what you’re doing works to sell courses, but it also helps a bunch of people out for free.

I could make a great noise just playing chords along with all the rock bands I like, but when it comes time to solo over chords, shit goes south quickly & it’s hit or miss ! With watching your content & explanation around CAGED & triads, you have made a huge difference in just a few days :-) Just keep up the good work ! From a very grateful fan. Know that your content is really, valuable & valued. Billy from the Uk You are truly “ Rocking It”
Man G I have met many cats Who have shown me a lick here or a riff there that has influenced my approach to these 6 strings over the years bro. Love the way you play, thanks for all the insight. This is why we really love to play this Thang!
You’re the best. Love your courses. Don’t let them get to you
Sir. What you teach on your YT channel are really good lessons. I do enjoy your free form jam at the first. You are providing a wonderful free lesson and service with each video. A guitar player of your caliber teaching is really great. I think that sometimes you are over the head of some of us because you are so experienced. I have learned so much from you my friend. I have to go back and revisit your older videos again and again. Thank you for what you are doing.
You are totally right Guthrie.
You are DEMONSTRATING what is possible through your paid lessons. With all the free content you put out most people get it. Thanks for everything
Opening little feel of the police. ( if you had chorus on it )
You do a great job Guthrie! I appreciate all your videos and teaching. You are an inspiration to all of us and keep me motivated to learn new things. The guitar community is growing thanks to you. Keep up the good work!
Loving your Truefire course.😊
For real man, thanks for what you do here on TH-cam, you have opened my eyes to quite a few things and I’ve been playing guitar for a long time. I believe you are more generous with your knowledge than most others.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing you play in the flesh this Monday at the Underdog! 🙂
I signed up for the true fire all Access I highly recommend it
Keep pushing!
Don’t apologise man, these videos are pure gold for guitar players, i can listen and watch for hours, thank you!
Of course.....people have to realize that life is costly.
Thank you for your sharing - talent and acknowledge- .
Become the cord become the note the melody the harmony. Your ears right there's a deepness to that and understanding. So there's a fine line do you want to know more stuff or do you want to have complete control and mastery and on-call what you already know.. do you want complexity or do you want to have simplicity.
Man, I don't come here to how to play stuff, mainly because I can't play like you😂😂 I come here to watch and listen, but it does inspire me to keep playing, because I always feel good about music after I watch one of new videos, and end up grabbing a guitar afterwards.
Knowledge of Guitar/Ears,,,,thanks Guthrie. - RJ
been playing for decades-almost signed even- and STILL learn every time you play man…and you sold me on your artist works stuff through these you tube short videos 😎
We understand!!! Thanks for all you do!
Love love love your videos!!! You make us think instead of showing licks to learn. That’s the way to bring out everyone’s originality! Bravo!
I forgot what a great player Guthrie is. I haven't watched in a while, but there are always great nuggets of information in his videos. Like the idea of playing the triads across each set of 3 strings in every position possible. Just a great exercise to hammer the way the fretboard works into your memory.
Your videos are so great. I hear these phrases in my head and while I don’t know theory, I’ve learned these patterns by just playing. Stimulates my playing watching and listening to this. Thank you!
Love your style bro, thanks!
Do your thing, Guthrie. I sure enjoy it. I tell my brother the cool thing about yours and Tom's stuff is like getting a chance to hang with great players. You guys have both given me stuff that I'm still working on. Tom's grab the 3rd and the 5th during progressions was gold. Keep on!
Dude, I just caught you for the first time. You play absolutely beautifully. Smooth. Had to subscribe. Wow !!!!
I love what you're doing. Your videos are informative and inspiring. So, don't change a thing!
I appreciate what you do. I think your calling is inspiring all of us lesser mortal guitar players to just try a little harder. Think a little more. And you routinely make me feel that is possible. And I’ve been playing a while.
WHEEEEWWWW!! 1:46 .... IM TAKING THAT hahah. Beautiful playing as always man
Do you brotha! The way that you deliver from your platforms also has to feed your soul as well.
Thank you for doing these videos they put me in a great mood listening to you play and talk. Heard you a long time ago in the caverns with 18 south and love the path you’re blazing.
Thank you for the video. Some very helpful tips. Very cool shirts !
Love you GT. It’s such a joy to see and hear every second of everything you do on here. It all has value. That fact that you give us your time in a relaxed conversational manner is priceless. Pay close attention guys…there are hugely useful nuggets of guitar wizardry on display here. 👊🏼⚡️💥🎸
Ive learned from your intros much by just playing by ear please keep them this is the best guitar channel on youtube beyond dispute
Guthrie the GOAT! Thank you for the lessons. Loving your TrueFire course right now. Appreciate you sharing your talents and thoughts on playing. I’ve improved so much as a result of your videos
