  • Here's my take on learning basic triads and how important they are to opening up the fingerboard and building simple chords. This is directly related to playing lead guitar guys! Hope you enjoy it.

      I feel the same. It seems to come effortlessly to him. I study this stuff too and I am nowhere near as good as he is. Do you like CAGED? Do you know all the notes on the fretboard? Learning both, and some licks is my current endeavor.

    Brilliant as always. If some guy says you talk too much, then take no heed, thats BS. Your explations are excellent and in plain speak, which makes what you say logical and completely fit. After 40yrs of playing, Im hanging off your every word-I wish I had known then what Im learning from you now. I thought I was a decent player but I was missing so very much. Sorted now though. Thanks so much for what youre doing.

    @torbincase8202 Pƙed 4 lety +6

    crazy because when I first saw you on Broadway playing with Don K I asked you if you were mainly playing out of the chord, and here you are teaching chord tones, but you keep your lines connected and employ alot of guitar techniques

  • @Rowen170
    @Rowen170 Pƙed 4 lety +6

    Very good stuff here folks. It don't get no better than this. Get the information, if you take your time and watch/listen and learn what he's offering here it could last you a lifetime. Keep in mind this is how he makes his living, so show some gratitude and give back. No I do not know him personally, but what I do know is that what he's teaching is worth something.
    And by the way Guthrie, you do not talk to much. 😆 just the opposite in my opinion, the more you talk the more we understand.
    This is the real deal teaching here. If you want to know your instrument better learn what he's showing you in this video.
    Thanks Guthrie

    This lesson is worth in gold. If you want to take your guitar playing to next level. Watch this video, and everything Guthrie shows here. If you dont understand something rewind and watch again until you do. Dont go to the next lesson or video. This concepts will take a while to sink in under fingers. Important part is that you understand the idea and then work on it until you dont have to think about it on the guitar. Guthrie thank you, you are a great player and teacher!

    You are the best man. So down to earth and humble. I got serious about guitar about four yrs ago diving into scales and such. I recently finally devoted myself to triads and my guitar life has changed completely. I don’t read music or anything, but it’s so true to say how triads open everything up and essentially result in a closer intimacy with the notes on the neck and all the connections to chords and scales. Progressions and leads just wash over you. Triads triads triads!

    That triad change for the dominant 7th and major 7th, from major. Is priceless for me today. I’ve hit a wall with the guitar, wanted to be a blues man. So like every one else learnt all the pentatonic scales and shapes. And wasn’t ever playing the changes. I could hear the notes in the pentatonic, but never played the change. So have recently resolved myself to learn the triads. Have only been doing major and minors trying to sing them and play them and trying to call out the thirds and fifths. To get my ears more able to hear the inversions. All feels clunky, but understand as you mention in the vid. You have to put the work in. But that one little trick a turned a light on. On;y just found you and Tom, from the Brad pappa footage of that gig you did for in stereo. I’m 52 and the only music I’ve ever heard that moved me before was from the 70s. You two are the only two musicians I can think of that put me in that space. Who are current and best of all open and transparent about their craft. And share like you do. Been a rough three years been a black dog on my tail. But you two made see. The guitar is a place you can put that negativity and learn to smile again.
    Thank you both.

    I've likely commented on this video before and for me it's perfect exercise work, but I can see many of us will be overwhelmed by the amount of complexity that it "seems" to represent. But, guys, that is what the stop button is for. Use it! STOP and go back, over and over if necessary because this is the stuff we all need to get. Don't give up. Go as slow as you need. Learn a bit and hold on that until it sticks. Come back tomorrow and go over it again and learn some more!

    I'm gonna have to watch this another hundred times or so, there is just so much in there to apply. You say that you don't talk much about theory, but your perspective is theory interpreted(I think I just made that one up, sounds true so I'm sticking with it!). Hearing/seeing how you connect caged positions, broken chords, triads and scales lights up a road for me to follow. Thanks GT this was great lesson 👍

    GT has changed the way I play- it's not just the theory of playing and how different strands of knowledge relate to one another but he doesn't overlook the mechanics of playing either. I haven't come across anyone else on CZcams with that combination. I have been playing for nearly 40 years and I learn something new each video.

I know all of the arpeggios all over the neck so with this info now I can work on the root position, 1st inversion and 2nd inversion. Understanding where they are with ease. Guthrie you say you're not a music professor but you sure know how to breakdown and understand the whole layout of the guitar.

    Great stuff! The way you break down the cords opens up the fretboard. Thank you, keep up the good work.

    Man, your lessons are a gift! The only teacher that really conserve's the feeling of the playing without boring theories.

    You are the guitar man, Guthrie! We can see and hear your great playing today, but we didn't see the thousands of hours you put in learning this stuff. A gold nugget from this lesson is "there are no shortcuts."
