this guy is awesome + he mentioned PG which makes him even more awesome.

yeah .... learning theory and not knowing what is for .... is a death trap ...

I really amazed with guthrie's process to become a guitar player ...

heard sound, found it in your fret board, and went to a library to find out what theory was ... (note: there was no internet in those days !!)

[mokaey]

there is no way to do it easy.

you will have to us 2 years to learn it correctly!!!

no shortcuts!

@thegreatgarry I'm thinking more and more (also as I listen and understand more of the blues), that the internet is useful, but also distracting. Reddit.com, a huge distraction.

I'm glad this guy came along, he can explain things about music theory in a way that even a dummy like me can understand it. :)

[fromaginator1]

fact: if you mention Paul Gilbert I am even more interested in what you have to say.

Iam that guy, been studying scales and theory but can't pull it off "off the cuff" this years resolution is to jam the theory into my playing (I mean jam as in jamming with a looper) very insightful from Guthrie there

[Tremblay343]

I went to one of his lessons/aristocrats concerts and someone asked a similar question.

He said that when learning music, it starts to become a second language. You have "rules" you follow and put stuff together in a certain order. But your first language is nothing like that. You know all the tricks and don't have to think about "okay I need a subject, make sure not to end on a preposition". The sound needs to be something that you can naturally express without breaking the flow to think.
