It’s been absolutely nonstop for the last two years solid here at least. The second half of today was extra special because my sweet mother Mary Trapp is here with our family friend Cheryl. We bounced around a bit and did some shopping and saw some sights. We cover a lot of ground in this town on a daily basis. It’s just crazy, but we don’t stop. The wild ride. Life is meant to be lived. We swung into Gruhns for a few minutes also for a great visit with George and hit a few licks on this 1941 Martin D-28 Herringbone while there. No extra charge for mistakes or the super bright sounding pick I ended up with. I just got a steroid shot in my left index finger yesterday afternoon.. so cut me some slack! HA!

Howdy friends, Happy Easter weekend to you all. I hope you’re doing great out there. It’s been a whirlwind here as always. All good stuff though. Thanks for all the support. Here’s a little insight to soloing from square one. Focusing on the key chord tones. The rest of the notes are connector or passing notes. To get from one chord tone to the next. It’s all about the resolve.

Howdy friends, I know it’s been a minute so big thanks for being patient. It’s great to be so busy with so many amazing projects with my best friends. I hope you all are doing great. You might think this would sound completely wrong… but it works really well. Playing minor ideas over major chords creates tension and personality. The secret is learning how to resolve it. This is one of the fastest ways to break out of “scale playing” and start sounding more musical. Try it yourself: Play a major chord → use minor pentatonic ideas → resolve into the chord tones. You’ll hear it instantly. Save this and come back to it.

Howdy friends, I know it’s been a minute so big thanks for being patient. It’s great to be so busy with so many amazing projects with my best friends. I hope you all are doing great. This is what the internet said phrasing is in music and I agree. “Phrasing in music is the art of shaping, grouping, and articulating notes into meaningful, expressive musical "sentences" or "thoughts". Similar to punctuation in language, it organizes melodies using dynamics, timing, and breath, turning mechanical notes into a coherent, emotional performance.” Keep it simple and have fun! 🚨Please don’t forget to subscribe here and check out all four tiers of private lessons and immersion experiences at Teaching - Guthrie Trapp I have a few spots left for March that could be yours.
