Thanks Guthrie! Always follow your videos. This all goes back to the ii _ V7 _ I progression. Explanation: in this example, if your in a V7 chord (E9), think of what I chord the V7 would naturally resolve into; in this case it is A. What would be the ii chord relative to that I(A) chord? Bm. So, in any dominant 7 type chord what would be the ii chord if the situation was a ii_V_!? Just think of where the V7 chord would resolve into. Again, in the case of the 4(IV) chord being played as a dominant 7th (or 9th), in this case D9, the D9 would resolve harmonically to a G. The ii chord relative to G would be Am. So, anytime you're soloing over a dominant 7th chord, think in terms of the ii_V_I relationship. NOTE: It just so happens that the ii chord always begins on the 5th tone of the V7 chord, hence the “5 minor”. This is probably a mental shortcut as opposed to mentally going through a “what if” analysis. A jazz guy would always consider this as an approach to a V7 chord along with other approaches involving altering the 5, 9 and 11th tones, as well as using modes and melodic minor scales. You gotta know that circle of 5ths.
I heard another guy talking about "chasing 3rd's" while soloing, kinda makes sense and ties into what you're showing here! Now, If I could just do what my mind is telling me too!
I met you a long time ago and your style always stuck with me. Now that I have time to sit down and play I watch every video you publish and I am having so much fun playing again. You are helping me understand some things I have struggled with as a guitar player since the beginning
You are an amazing player and an even better teacher. Thank you for sharing your unique skills and knowledge. Much appreciated as I transform five thumbs into something usable.
Hey guthrie, I know things have been slow with the pandemic but I know Nashville will be full throttle soon. Your lessons in the past have literally change my life. Just being able to follow chord changes based on their natural tones has made the melodies fit and it is just amazing. Stay strong man and keep recording. Always look forward to your phrasing and vocab, I strive to phrase that way, beautiful. Thanks again man. Peace
Apart from the gorgeous playing (you really understand the Blues not just from a technical but also from the emotional perspective), this guitar is amazing. Wowsah. It's also wonderful how you tie the different styles together. Thank you sir
Slaps me in the face when you say “just messing around here” after melting faces. Hahah. Love it. Can’t wait to see you love some day. Thanks for the content!
Once again awesome vid Guthrie , another bunch of ideas to share with my guitar students ! Just bought a 68 Princeton too ...arriving tomorrow. Greetings from a chilly UK ! Groovy 😎
Very helpful. Thank you! You’re really getting the hang of these TH-cam videos. Thanks also for sharing you’re using your iPhone. Maybe look into the Shure Motiv MV88 iOS stereo condenser mic. I’ve found it really ups the audio quality when using an iPhone or iPad. Thanks again!
Hello Guthrie , I really enjoy you're playing , I thought I had it down and then I see you and said " well I got a long way to go lol " I saw you on papa's welcome welcome welcome , so now I'll be watching you and hopefully pick up some of you're chops , keep up the great work , you have a new follower
Great playing, as always. Please share some left/fret hand fingering positions for country soloing. From what I gather, it seems to be open C chord and 3 finger F maj chord shapes - with index/pointer finger typically on the higher strings while the middle and ring fingers are doing most of the work. Thank you.
@@karlvancraenenbroeck3696 😅 I'm sitting here thinking " fuck me, I know nothing" when he gives an example then improvises a really complex lick with tricky chords without any effort, it's just jaw dropping
Awesome as always. Highly recommend taking lessons from Guthrie and/or his Artist Works course. I've been playing guitar for several years and have tried different teachers, but Guthrie is by far the BEST teacher I have taken lessons.
Dude I've got a gig tonite in front of a bunch of people. Somehow I'm the guitar player lol. Thanks for the tricks to help me make it! Music is gonna win
Guthrie, are you playing any public events in Nashville next weekend? I met you last year in Arlington when you played with The Good Road Band, and we’re hoping to see you again.
The course is super. I've had it for 7 months. has beginner, intermediate and advanced stuff and ok to jump around and stay interested Watch other peoples video exchanges and Guthrie's responses are always awesome. Lifetime of excellent instruction. improved understanding so you can actually integrate what you learn into your playing. Not just a bunch of licks. Try it you'll like it
It’s not really a Jazz thing. Think of it as playing the V chord but emphasizing the 3rd. But I feel what you’re saying is think like you’re playing part of an A minor pentatonic or chord tones over the D7. Which yields extensions and really neighboring tones. So in this case the 4 or 11 and the b7. If you want more of a jazz color, engaging the b5 or the #5 will give that tension and then you can resolve. Example for a b5 is G# or the tritone of D and spell out the Root, 3rd and 5th of G#. Or treat the D7 as the min iii but play it as a dom7 chord which will yield the #5, b9, #9 and the 11. So play D7 chord and solo over Bb Maj or play G min pentatonic when the D7 chord is being played. It truly comes down to what you say about your ear and the dominant chord yields the most color because of the extensions and augmented colors. Blah blah blah. Lol. Great video as always.
I am a guitar 🎸 lover but no theory background. I love your theory lesson but frustrated with myself for not being able to grasp all of it. Great stuff ☺️
Marty DeBergi I’m glad you could take something from my comment. We are all in this together. Keep the music alive. Theory is a lot of information and sometimes things that go against theory actually sound better. It’s dependent on the journey of the chord progression. I feel it’s great to learn theory to understand the why and train your ear to hear color. Don’t be too hard on yourself about it. Music is more than a lifetime. Enjoy playing. A tip is don’t let the finger gymnastics captivate you and don’t listen with your eyes. Play less notes with more musical statements like a conversation and use your ear as the final judgement. It’s your guitar. Make it speak for you as an extension of your being.
@@nowayjay123 thanks i have been attempting to play guitar for about 50 years and am in awe of the jazz people that know theory inversions scales chords... My fav. Are Ed Bickert Lenny Breau Jimmy Bruno John McLaughlin Albee Lee Danny Gatton John Jorgenson The Hellecasters Bill Frizzell I love the Bass Desires albums and many more. I've been lucky to see them all live except for Jimmy Bruno. Are there basic beginners reading books and theory books that you could please recommend. Also I gave my beauty queen 1972 335 to my son. Is there a 1,000-1500 guitar you could recommend. The new 335 guitars are out of my reach. I have an old Trini Lopez custom guitar but it is a bit big I am only average height. Thanks a million for responding I sincerely appreciate your time. Is there an e-mail address that possibly I may have if you even have the time. Regards, Marty
@@martydibergi5228 all of those mentioned are fantastic musicians. My favorite out of them is Lenny Breau. What an amazing musician given his history and personal struggles. He left us way too soon. I'm not sure of a perfect book to recommend. The best practice is to play with players and listen to a lot of different players and non-guitarists as well. I recommend Bill Evans. He loves to layer chords on chords. Which really is a lot closer to film scores. I highly recommend listening to film scores and study them too. John Williams and Danny Elfman as a starting point. The rabbit hole goes on forever. They use color most of the time to enhance the overall mood and intention. Others I recommend: Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and Chick Corea. The idea of taking a tune and breaking it down into mini lessons is easier done than playing exercises. In Jazz the common progressions are ii | V | I for example Amin7 | D7 | Gmaj7. Most tunes can be broken down into a series of 2,5,1. Typically the 6dom7 is peppered in for example rhythm changes. There is a lot to consume in my comment. But hopefully it's inspiring to explore. A 335 is a sweet guitar and a wonderful gift to your son. The funny thing is I have like 9 guitars and the one I play the most is a cheap nylon that my daughters put stickers on. I often like to play my Tele and Les Paul while tinkering with Jazz as well. It does come down to how you shape your tone with the amp, tone knobs and your touch. Guthrie has a beautiful tone and perhaps he has a video already or will touch on it. But at the end of the day, your ear with purpose and intention is where the music lives and in between tension and resolve. It's a story and you're the narrator. Tell us a story Marty. Hope all is well.
Mr Trapp, just curious, have you ever heard or played with a guy out of Rochester named Chet Catallo? He's the only other player I've heard voice blues melodies in the same vein as you.
Just Great. Another bluesy trick to my bag. Mr Trapp as always (and for now im gonna write on spanish cause i have no enough English level to express my self) haber dado contigo y estar aprendiendo de alguien como tu es TODO UN LUJO. Como comunicador y musico eres absolutamente inspirador, así que sigue así!!!!!DE PUTA MADRE! Sigamos aprendiendo cada día cosas nuevas!!
Guthrie, this is a valuable lesson...I was hoping you can show us your style using this concept with the song Red House...So, if you use this 5 minor trick, we would have to be in the key of E, rather than B...right
OK, how old is that one? If I’d gotten the ES-335 I wanted when I was a kid (which that looks just like) it’d be worth like $25-30K now. When I finally got around to it (in 2011) I got a 2006. Sounds just as sweet, but doesn’t have that satin finish, or those pegs (the newer ones have Grovers).
When you start resolving that A to the third (G#) of the E9 chord and the G to the third (F#) of the D9 It suddenly sounds like II - V7 to me. Makes sense because the "5 minor" as you call it is B minor (II in the key of A) to E9 (V in the key of A).
Hey. It is awesome getting a sit down with a master on the Guitar. Appreciate what you do. Love the records you got on Spotify.
Thanks Guthrie! Always follow your videos. This all goes back to the ii _ V7 _ I progression.

Man, you have a way of making it easy pick up on what your playing, im all over this, thanks!
Keep rockin Guthrie you ain't losing nobody! Cheers brother!!
So like a II to V. Great lesson, really appreciate all the wisdom you’re sharing.
Was about to get some work done then.... Boom! Guthrie sharing his expertise with the world. Everything else will have to wait!

Always get a lot out watching you play. Any chance of showing us some pure bluegrass stuff sometime? Thanks dude
Smooth
Okay, I give. I’m signing up for your Artistworks course next week when I’m home and near a guitar.
do it, you'll be glad you did!
Chris White I did it and am very pleased!

Hey Guthrie do you use wound 3rds on your 335?
Digging the hat guthrie can you tell me what to look for on artists works for your intermediate country lessons?
The course is super. I've had it for 7 months. has beginner, intermediate and advanced stuff and ok to jump around and stay interested
