Thanks a bunch, you guys. Means a lot. Much more to come. I wish I had time to respond to each comment personally, but I’m also very grateful to be very busy at this point in my life. Happy Holidays to you all! GT
My wife got diagnosed with breast cancer 2 days after her 30th birthday. It’s our after chemo tradition to watch your videos and have her laugh at me trying to keep up! Thank you for the teachings and bringing a smile to our faces again! Appreciate it man!!
This year (2023).... Bought a tele, swapped out the pickups, bought a princeton reverb, studied the fretboard in more detail. 2024 = attempt to be more like GT. I even have a stable of black hats. Cheers to a great new year!
Knife maker tradition - never accept a free knife from a friend or it will sever the relationship. Grandfather would sell me a good knife for 5 cents. 😊. Send those boys a couple guitar picks or Mexican pesos to keep up the tradition and ward off bad luck
Your rhythm and chord playing is so fluid.i love your strumming and picking style as well.i love watching your videos.i learn so much.keep'em coming 🎸🎸👍👍
You lost me at "I want you to use your brain and think", lol. Such a great lesson though! It's great having you back, you are making a way bigger impact on us than you could possibly imagine.
Since I watch your channel I learn so many triads and way to embellish my playing it's all from you. This cool exercise sounds a bit like Stephen Stills song "Love the one you're with". One thing which is still difficult is to use them in the fire of action on stage but hey work is on the way. Many thanks Guthrie
Such a good lesson! This is the style guitar I want to play. I’m starting to learn how important and clean sounding triads are. Would love more funky lessons like this! Thank you
how’s this, GT? start me up. this was a great upload; full of Wizard’ic Guitar Player Thoughts & Tone thanks, GT, for spreading the gospel & kicking ass at life, lately. GT - Billy G listens to what do on stage & trips out on it…perhaps how Jimi tripped out while watching Billy & warned the world of his badassedry of guitar. this has to be the greatest truthful compliment that I could give anyone today. cheers, you Rascal
Hey Guthrei got to see play in Nashville a few years back at the Americana music festival . You opened for and later played with John Oats . You tore it up man . Hope to see you again someday . Believe the venue was the house of blues
Thanks GT I’ve exploring triads for a little while. I really want to get this down and sound smooth not robotic or vanilla. Appreciate all you do on the Tube !! Mahalo from Hawaii!!! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
GT, thanks for all the guitar and lifestyle content. I’m taking your Artistworks class and due to the knowledge I have gained through that, I am able to dissect your online videos and work out those concepts. I feel like I’m approaching a breakthrough, please keep this type content coming. On a different subject, I too appreciate fine food and experiences. My lovely wife is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). I often joke to folks to imagine what I would look like if she were an aerobics instructor instead of a chef. Thanks again - keep up the good work and enjoy your holiday with your family and girlfriend!
Great little mini lesson here Guthrie. Much appreciated. Very nice, eminently learnable, groove piece. Funny story, I went looking online for some of the Agazul Tequila that you were raving about, and when the Company photo opened up I thought 'damn, Guthrie is part of the Agazul team'! I swear the Agazul Company President looks so much like you it's stunning. Or, is that you?....Lol.
I'll second that comment on Pat McLaughlin and his band. They are just sensational and the songs that Pat writes are as good as it gets. Check out any of his albums, they're up there with the very best you'll ever listen too😊
Does anyone have a vid of the band Guthrie was talking about with McLaughlin, Morrow and Greenberg? Time to crank some ZZ in honor of the b-day. Thanks.
Hi Guthrie. Thanks for another great lesson. This lesson has a heavy 'Hard To Handle' vibe. I am really studying triads so this lesson is very timely. I really struggle with my right hand. I've noticed that the cats that have their right hand together, such as yourself, sound WAY better. Do you have any suggestions on how to get better with the right hand to really get that funky rhythm sound?
Hey Karmadave ... Guthrie would be the one to answer your question on this, but my two-cents worth would be that to get a good funk groove going it's really important to get both hands loose and syncopated. For me, I like my right hand to be loose and open, with the bottom three fingers hanging slightly down as in a pendulum, and a light grip on the pick, and then obviously the right hand being the metronome, but also keep that left chording hand loose and bouncy as well. Another thing that helps for me is to rotate the pick away from the point and use the softer upper radius for a smoother attack.
@@karmadave Hey Dave. Thanks for the reply. I really hope there is some little nugget in my comment that you can use. I am constantly impressed with Guthrie's playing. This video here was a great little lesson for something nice and simple to just develop that sense of groove. If you just work with particular piece, and try to emulate what Guthrie is doing, you're most of the way there. Something I might add, you've got to feel funky, to play funky. So really get a mental and physical mindset of being loose and funky when you're playing this stuff. Try sometimes to barely play the triad, just let in bounce into play, for a second before lifting of left hand pressure. With funky stuff, you're usually playing against a strong bass and drum groove, so the guitar is just the spice. Think of the guitar part as being like the drummer's hi-hat cymbal. Spashy and syncopated. A useful quote from James Brown ... “Now we all got our drums.” Some may be guitars, some may be keyboards, but all should be doing the same work as drums: adding to the groove. “And when you’re playing a drum,” he says, addressing issues of music theory, “it don’t matter what key you in, what bar you in, what planet you on…” All that matters is: “Does it feel good?”
2:35 focusing on triads on groups of three strings importance. Making three note groups of triads “speak”. Only let the strings you want to speak, speak. 3:37 - B7 chord as a consistent static pattern intertwined with fun things. B7 triad to B major 7 triad. 4:20 Think about groupings of triads and how they organize the fingerboard. 4:45 - Hand position and triads are the big takeaways. 4:51 Sliding into the dominant 7 triad 5:04 b,g and d strings. 5:24 g,d and a strings for the next part. G shaped e positioning. 5:48 the whole thing played slowly. 5:57 first part 6:00 second part 6:03 third part 6:35 whole thing in tempo. 6:50 another thing if you’re ambitious. The A triad E triad and B7 triad. 7:15 remember, it’s a consistent part. The consistency is important as long as it’s not boring. Create your own. 6:03 third part
Is the audio from the camera mic and if so, what amp are you using? Keep killing it with the great content! I always pick up a little something new from each video.
Hey GT another Trapp here from Vancouver BC Really dig the content! It’s been a minute didn’t ur screamin lead tones! Looking forward to taking the family to visit Nashville when baby grows up

Happy Holidays Guthrie , Thankyou for explaining these excellent techniques . ⭐

Sorry to hear that ! I pray God will heal her so you can have a long and happy life together.
@@jimdep6542Amen🙏
Sorry to hear this. I'm happy that you both can enjoy a moment of joy together.
I'm praying for her. The Bible calls our God The Great Physician.
Having spent the last 15 months in the same situation…. My prayers go out to you both 🎸🙏

Great lesson, getting lots of Grateful Dead vibes a la Bob Weir on this rhythm
Great lesson!! After about 4x I got it!! Thanks!!!
Spain has it goin' on! Cheers Guthrie!!
I discovered a guy on youtube that went into the 3 string stuff a long time ago. Now its getting Trapped......Thank You....
Your rhythm and chord playing is so fluid.i love your strumming and picking style as well.i love watching your videos.i learn so much.keep'em coming 🎸🎸👍👍
You teaser. Tequila and chocolate. Nom nom. Love those small gifts at the end of your videos.
You lost me at "I want you to use your brain and think", lol. Such a great lesson though! It's great having you back, you are making a way bigger impact on us than you could possibly imagine.
Yeah, anytime you want to cover R&B and funk triads, carry on! My all time favorite style of rhythm playing!
Love the triad lessons. Very cool of you promoting the boutique products and the gifts. Have a great holiday.

Thanks for the step by step breakdown. Grabbing my axe now!
Can’t wait for the albums to drop
Such a good lesson! This is the style guitar I want to play. I’m starting to learn how important and clean sounding triads are. Would love more funky lessons like this! Thank you
Thanks ❤. Uncle Larry and you both use medium and use the shoulder, thought I’d give it a go and it’s wild
how’s this, GT?
start me up. this was a great upload; full of Wizard’ic Guitar Player Thoughts & Tone

Thanks GT ........love the triad stuff.
That guitar sounds awesome. 😎🤓
Hey Guthrei got to see play in Nashville a few years back at the Americana music festival . You opened for and later played with John Oats . You tore it up man . Hope to see you again someday . Believe the venue was the house of blues

Show n tell is just as interesting as the music lessons.
You Def know some cool people

Super lesson. This groove reminds me of my favorite Rolling Stones song....Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?

Fixed❗ me and my guitars reclining chair🤟 might as well be comfortable while playing
Such a great lesson thanks
Great lesson!!
Love this lesson! Thanks!
Oh hey I was gonna suggest you do a vid on open string licks... I'm interested in the logic behind them
Some of the smoothest tequila I'd ever had was brought over the border in a milk jug lol. From Jalisco to Las Cruces. Good for the soul.
I'll second that comment on Pat McLaughlin and his band. They are just sensational and the songs that Pat writes are as good as it gets. Check out any of his albums, they're up there with the very best you'll ever listen too😊
Great soul battery charge. Thanks GT. Enjoy Gibbon’s Bday. A 5 diamond addition to your life.
Loved it. Thanks so much.
Howdy GT! Sounding great. (Merry Christmas too!)
You are the best.Thank you GT
Where are you playing New Years Eve? Glad you got to hang with that crew.
Is it a Fender Telecaster American Pro II that Guthrie Trapp is playing here?
It's a danocaster
❤ listening to you noodle!
Lots of good information, you have a good sound and technique. What make and model is your guitar? I want to get a solid body.
Thank you sir
Hey Guthrie! Love you and your channel. What radius do you prefer on your necks?
I need to get better but I've thought about the philosophy of what your talking about here.
good vid
Does anyone have a vid of the band Guthrie was talking about with McLaughlin, Morrow and Greenberg? Time to crank some ZZ in honor of the b-day. Thanks.

By all means, more funk / R n B stuff any time. BTW tis the season to gain a few lbs., just sayin. 😊
my god that opening riff
Okay I just played it, very addicting. Really shows how powerful triads can be
Guthrie , thank you . I love Triads . BTW - when will the album with Tom be released ?
You encompass much of Keith Richards rhythm style in one video . + Happy Birthday Billy Gibbons __ZZ>>TOP__
I have sausage fingers and struggle with hybrid picking…..Any suggestions to skill around this
Get a guitar with strings farther apart from each other.
So did Danny gatton. Didn't stop him

How do you know the volume and tone knob positions when they don’t have numbers? And Kenny Greenberg is the man!
