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
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 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.
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.
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! 👍
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!
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🥾🥾
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
I love your approach as you have outlined every thing but leave it to the watcher to put it to use and force them to think about what they are doing and really unravel it them self! This will ultimately heighten the eureka moment and stick with them more! Great job.
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.
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. 👊🏼⚡️💥🎸
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!
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.
I haven't had a lot of money for guitar lessons and stuff these past few years, but man, these little videos are so chock full of amazing nuggets I can use. It really feels like I'm stealing here. But I'm determined now that I will buy a full course and buckle down with it in the near future.
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.
ThankQ GT ! Greg Koch taught me how to be more articulate in my right hand technique just by watching him hawk guitars for Wildwood Guitars. You’ve probably taught most here how to be more articulate in listening for all the triads and inversions more than others. You’re more appreciated than you know ! Cheers from Thailand ! 😎🇺🇸🇹🇭🇺🇸⚓️🎸✅☕️😸🤠😎
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 😎
Hanging with the ladies at the pool! You go slay them Guthrie! get some sun on those chops. But no showing off on the high board. You ain't 15 no more son
Just keep doing these the way you are, these videos are a gift. Of course you're using the channel to direct people to your site and lessons...as you should be . I get so much out of your openings along with fantastic direction and advice on where I should be focusing my efforts as I return to learn an instrument I put down for almost 40 years. I'm really looking forward to taking your Artistworks and/or Truefire lessons down the road. Appreciate the heat.
Hey Guthrie, your free lessons are even more enlightening than most people’s paid stuff. You provide so much value. And your masterclass stuff is game changing too. Can’t wait to pick up the TrueFire stuff. The artistworks class changed my guitar playing for sure. Next step is saving up to do some Skype masterclasses. Keep it up bud, you’re changing lives with your music and content 🙏🙏 PS: the BFG stuff is soooo cool and all the cool little books and stuff. Amazing 🙏🙏
Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by “Masterclass”? Is it something offered in Truefire or Artistworks material? I’m dying to learn stuff from his last two videos. Love GT
@@michaelcarpenter3766 no worries at all. Guthrie has a whole deep dive artistworks program called ‘electric country guitar’ which takes you through beginner, intermediate, and advanced. it was a great start to finish deep dive of guthries technique and philosophies. Lots of the stuff mentioned here is in greater detail in that course 👍
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.
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.
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🙏🤙
Been slowly working through your AW course for a while. I learn something new and it sends me down other musical rabbit holes. Your TH-cam videos are a great supplement and help bring me back to the AW lessons. Keep doing what you do!
Hi Guthrie, I look forward to your videos... they are like gold .... even a twenty minutes video has enough content to keep most players busy for a while ... from across the pond in the uk.. thank you and keep it up. Take care 👍
I think most people here are appreciative of how much free information Guthrie gives us in these videos. It's also completely reasonable and understood these videos are meant to get people interested in the various lessons he offers. My guess is people who have a problem with that don't have to come up with the money every month to put a roof over their heads and keep the lights on.
Hey Guthrie I appreciate the honesty in the opening monologue. There are a ton of instruction channels that are more about funneling to free pdf then capturing email and so on. Your is straight up. Stay real!
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.
Thanks GT. Love your you tubes. I have been focusing on apegios and it has really opened up the fretboard for me. My audience (the dog) is no doubt pleased. Cheers 😊
G.T., just watching you noodle is worth a forture to me. Trying to cipher what you are doing is far more useful than having someone spoon feed me and change my diapers...
I think a lot of the criticism comes from frustration. The frustration comes from not being willing to drop a couple of buck to take a lesson, and then putting in the work step by step. It's a process, 'and the road goes on forever.'
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
I agree with you, if you want the “put your first finger on the first string first fret” stuff, buy a course.

who can complain about all this free guitar teaching by GT. thank you man.

I want this to change my guitar life! I'm 60 years old and I still want to learn. Keep this stuff coming.

I understand. Keep it going, brother! ✌️
Don't sweat the downer comments, Guthrie, appreciate everything you do!
6:26 That’s great advice! 👍
Some ppl will never get it… These videos are pure gold!!! Thank you Guthrie!
Finding Everything I need just watching & Practicing what you say. Progress Abound.
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
Thank you Guthrie...
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.
Brother…. Thanks for speaking out… however as always thank you for sharing I always learn and get inspired by your videos.
That intro lick- sweet! Totally stealing that.
Thx Guthrie for taking the time to make these videos. It is appreciated.
Another great episode…..loved the show ‘n tell!
Ive learned from your intros much by just playing by ear please keep them this is the best guitar channel on youtube beyond dispute
The T-shirts look great! All the books look great but that Malabo one looks super interesting!
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!
Thanks for all you share for FREE! Much appreciated, each and every trick, lick and insight. Cheers, Mate!!
I like how i can now say "hey, i know that song!" After that opening bit! The album yall created is just awesome man.
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!
GT .. you're doing everything right, don't sweat it. I love your playing. These tips are very valuable to me. Thanks.
Opening little feel of the police. ( if you had chorus on it )
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.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing you play in the flesh this Monday at the Underdog! 🙂
30 years in 20 minutes? Sounds like the name of another great song idea!
Appreciate you man! Looking forward to the record.
You’re the best. Love your courses. Don’t let them get to you
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!

You’re the Guy..🎸👍🏻👍🏻
Wow-you are incredible.
Yes! Artist works course starts after the weekend for me! Anything to avoid a normal job 😅
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!
Great playing dude.
We understand!!! Thanks for all you do!
I haven't had a lot of money for guitar lessons and stuff these past few years, but man, these little videos are so chock full of amazing nuggets I can use. It really feels like I'm stealing here. But I'm determined now that I will buy a full course and buckle down with it in the near future.
Of course.....people have to realize that life is costly.
Thank you for your sharing - talent and acknowledge- .
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.
Yeah that's the stuff!!!
Love your show!👍👍
Cool vibes dude.

Gt, so awesome to get your knowledge and ideas...priceless.
Get it, GT! I pre-ordered your TrueFire course. To those that want more structured instruction … do the same!
Thank you for the video. Some very helpful tips. Very cool shirts !
Hanging with the ladies at the pool! You go slay them Guthrie! get some sun on those chops. But no showing off on the high board. You ain't 15 no more son
Most of us know what's going on. Appreciate what you do. It's not lost on most of us. Thanks for what you do !
Somehow, just hearing you strum any chord my ears just feel something different than anyone else playing. Does anyone else feel this?
Just keep doing these the way you are, these videos are a gift. Of course you're using the channel to direct people to your site and lessons...as you should be . I get so much out of your openings along with fantastic direction and advice on where I should be focusing my efforts as I return to learn an instrument I put down for almost 40 years.

Just headed over to Truefire.
Telecaster sounds the best with those new strings . Thanks .
Love your advice! So glad I found you channel! Triads and their inversions are the foundation!!

100% get it and love what you do!
Cracking up you have to explain that Lol 😂.
What a Great teacher you are . What I have learnt from you, is very much appreciated. Thank you👊
You are very welcome
Love the playing and knowledge you share! Just started the TrueFire videos. Great stuff! Thanks for all the help here on TH-cam and on TrueFire! 🤘😎
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.
Great overview of some very important fundamentals of harmony and melody. Super important stuff!
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🙏🤙
You're awesome GT!

I’m actually wearing my east Nashville guitar club shirt while watching….. stop judging me, I know I’m a fanboy.
Guthrie: Enjoyed the video! Informative and encouraging! Thank you for your work!
Thank you for all that you do, i like the challenge.

Hey the lessons thing is great but what I love about GT the most is the amazing records he makes and kick ass performances he does ! Keep rockin! 💪🎸 🤟

Don’t apologise man, these videos are pure gold for guitar players, i can listen and watch for hours, thank you!
People who say you are not aexplaining everything should take your courses OR figure out by EAR the beautiful things you play
Your lesson on Am to E7 was an ear opener. Thanks, I was stuck, and now everyone looks up and grins when I lay it down.
Thank you for putting up the content that you put up it helps👍
Great video man! Thank you!
Thanks GT. Love your you tubes. I have been focusing on apegios and it has really opened up the fretboard for me. My audience (the dog) is no doubt pleased. Cheers 😊
Man you really lay it down. Great to hear a player who is so accessible and who plays with feel, passion and soul.
I think your videos are fantastic, GT. And often your opening playing does showcase the message in the video. Keep on keeping on!
I signed up for the true fire all Access I highly recommend it
Mahalos!!! So amazing! Love this keep it up!!!!
G.T., just watching you noodle is worth a forture to me. Trying to cipher what you are doing is far more useful than having someone spoon feed me and change my diapers...
