Blues Rhythm Guitar Chords You Must Know!

I thought this would be some cool material to cover. Here are some essential blues rhythm guitar voicings. Key of G with classic 1-4-5 progression.

It’s been a hell of a week in Boston, NYC and Chicago. What a blast!

Thanks for those of you that came out and supported all the shows.

Have fun and carry on!

Love your content. 11:46 it's a G13 (implies there's a 9th but it's missing here) alternatively G6/7th in bass.
The walk down at 19:14 is great. It can be interpreted a few different ways. G(3rd in bass) or Em7 (5th in bass) => D#7(5th in bass) or Bbdim or A7b9 (b9 in bass) => D7(5th in bass) => G7. Which would give you a 1 2 (tritone sub) 5 1 or 6m 2(tritone sub) 5 1 or a chromatic descend 6m 6b 5 1. I think the 2nd one (6m 2(tritone sub) 5 1) is probably the origin of that walk down.

Thank you Sir! You are so generous with your teaching and thank you again for slowing it down for us!

When I’m playing blues in G, I harken to Miles’ “All blues” and or ABB version of “Stormy Monday” with that fantastic walk-up. Thanks GT ! Cheers from Thailand ! 😎🇺🇸🇹🇭🇺🇸⚓️🎸✅☕️🤠😎

[jamesgarcia]

Also, I adapted the walk down, same chord shapes to Am and it's sick. Great tones!

[thecrazycrisps]

Such an awesome lesson Guthrie, thank you. Will probably need to watch it about 100 times for it all to sink in thought 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️, keep them coming they are very much appreciated

[mattprince]

Been learning more from your channel than any other one. I pretty much understood most of what you’re doing in the video. Plus, I love the improvisation and groovy but relaxed tones. 🎸👌

[Popsarocker]

What a killer show at the bitter end. Got to sit right up front. It was magic.

Hey Guthrie, just love it when you say 'Watch This', it's always a revelation.
Absolutely blown away with your insights and generous communication, way beyond my level I just keep taking it in.
Best wishes to you and yours and Thank you.

Ok Guthrie, you got me. I've looked at your videos occasionally over the years and they've always appeared to be so over my head I didn't go deep. I decided to give this one a go and it really is pure gold. I'm now a subscriber and a believer and I won't give up on myself so easily. Only way to get better is to try something that looks too hard. Thanks so much for your effort.

You describe this so well in a way that I can understand. You are very generous, Mr. Trapp. Thank you!

[paulpulati]

Brilliant lesson, GT. Thanks ❣ By the way, Collector's Edition CD arrived, thanks so much. You two are soooo 😎

[charlescopeland]

What a killer lesson, Guthrie! May have to get a Zoom lesson to follow-up and develop this some more. Great stuff, man!

[jack]

Thanks! I knew those chords, but I love the way you linked them all together. Great lesson!

[nzprojects]

Great, i have been searching for some new blues licks to learn and this is just perfect for my level of playing. 🎶🎸☮

[iantaylor]

Awesome. Thank you Guthrie. You deserve everything that's coming your way.

[bigchrisgulley]

You have such a amazing way of breaking it down and teaching Thank you bro for sharing your knowledge.

[gbarge]

GT, this is yet another mother load. Thanks for being so clear. There’s a lifetime of good stuff in here.

[jamesgarcia]

Thanks for redefining the 9th chords and similar shapes. They really can be played anywhere on the neck as you've shown. Beautiful G walkdown turn around too! Using less than the six strings was an important lesson today for me as well. Thanks bro!

[joebill]

[Shayn-lm]
