I had my wife hold the phone and I tried to name every player without looking. Every one of them is so spot on that it was actually easy to do. Each example was a perfect example of their tone and technique down to their signature nuances that make their sound and style what they are. So incredibly impressive. But that comes as no surprise. GG you are such an inspiration.
I'm so glad Sonny Landreth was on here too. I never really see him get recognized as a great player. Definitely underrated in my opinion. Especially in terms of slide guitar players.
it’s like hearing all of those famous guitar players, if they were slightly better. I might be biased though, because Guthrie Govan is my favorite guitar player.
You really nailed almost all of them but you still have a lot of homework on Hendrix... the sound is not right, and it's too technical and rigid for his very loose and free style.
Agreed, I was really looking forward to his Hendrix take too, however, Guthrie has other amazing Hendrix videos that do him proper justice. The guy is simply amazing and such a good dude too.
@@HikoSeijuroXIII Dude, right? I keep blowing on the damn string but it just won't sustain nearly that long. What? I'm a student, I can't afford an e-bow...
guy tabs out some of the most insane guitar playing, by perhaps the greatest guitar player alive, all for free, and people just whine about spelling "Jimi" wrong. just say thank you, you ungrateful swine
Not everyone is a Hendrix fan. It happens, fuck, I spelled Berklee wrong (Like an IDIOT) a few months ago, and got crucified for it. I make it a point to have proper spelling and grammar and I fucking love Berklee. Great job with the tabs dude, GG is a monster from another world, and it looked REAL accurate to how the original would play it. I was waiting for his take on Petrucci...I'm sure it's ridiculous.
Danny Nichols “stupid americans.” Guess what, pinhead, Jimi Hendrix is american. You called the person you’re so defensive over stupid, you mindless twat. And you’re calling a school which legends such as petrucci graduated from less relevant? Fuck off.
You're an idiot. I've played guitar for 26 years...Jimi doesn't do ANYTHING for me. Berklee on the other hand is a world class place to start a career in music. You're such a fool.
SawrioSarangi in the world, probably over 1000, hehe, but famous guitarrista? Hmm i don’t think many, the deceased Shawn lane could’ve ofc, hes a big inspiration for gg, maybe bucket head...
Okay, I'll be THAT guy. First, spell the man's name right, he earned it. Secondly, that buzzy, modern compressed sound is not appropriate for playing Jimi. Guthrie nailed a lot of the licks though. To be honest, Jimi's tone seems to stump most of today's players. It could be that Hendrix made sure you could hear his beloved Stratocaster more than the amp melting on the back line. Aficionados who've listened to thousands of hours of Hendrix (I know you're out there) would notice the difference in tone. Still, for real, I am totally amazed every time I see one of Guthrie's videos, but this "Jimmy tribute" sort of missed the mark for me.
Jimi Hendrix is the root of all the guitar legends that came after him... Many were inspired directly by him, and those who were not, were inspired by others who's inspiration was Hendrix... All the guitar roads lead to Hendrix!
I have a dvd of mp3 singles and albums I cannot do without and have them backed up on a couple of dvd's. his erotic cakes and his fellow guitar techniques teacher, shawn baxter, are on it.
@Greg Elchert no its not, it's different if you listen to both tracks again. Govan version is descending triplets and knopflers is ascending and descending groups of four notes.
Guthrie's got great technique and is a very accomplished guitarist but Knopfler's got soul - and that's the important part. Knopfler's playing sends shivers up my back.
@@robertstone1409 very true, I think Guthrie is probably the best Guitarist alive and mable all time. As in he has the highest level of mastery with the instrument out of any player I've seen. But yeah in terms of style knopfler just has it down in my view, clean and concise, says all he needs to say without playing too fast or too extravagant
Just incredible how Guthrie could perfectly capture the essence and feel of 20 different guitar legends. This just proves how Guthrie is simply a GUITAR GOD, in the pure meaning of the word.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 Or maybe it's just not the kind of music he likes writing? Not everyone just desires maximising fame and recognition, some people want to play their own thing, despite it being less popular.

I love my shred and metal playing but this just goes to show that the tone and playing of BB King was utter genius, I actually sat up straighter on the first note!
mfw my teacher says "Your playing reminds me of BB King!" Im like, "Who? What King? Elvis?"" lol I'm a skinny white boy from the burbs who grew up on ozzy, vh, and satch. I aint got no soul! rip RBK!
Back in Lithuania (not really from there. Just sounds good for more story) I heard the story of the Guitar demon who could replicate your style and put you to shame with his technical ability, all while smiling a boyish smile, not ever really shaving much...THE LEGEND IS TRUE! BEWARE! THE GUITAR DEMON! HE EXISTS! HE'LL STEAL YOUR STYLE AND SHOW THE WORLD OVER WHY HE'S THE GREATEST MODERN DAY GUITARIST! Scared myself! How will I sleep tonight?!
Sofa-King wild when he gets to Jimi Hendrix and just nails his sound. He nailed every bodies sound. Throughout the entire roll of impressions. He is a fetching genius.
Hi there, for those interested in the Guthrie Govan tab, I reviewed somethings and put it here. enjoy and hope you learn a lot like I did. www.dropbox.com/sh/h0mtdg05ct1tkej/AACDabAQetJpq6XFJJV9V3Eha?dl=0 Also, check out my bandcamp page. You can find my Debut EP called SPHINX for free =)
Best Sweep Picking Yngwie? He's a legend don't get me wrong but to me that title belongs to Jason Becker. Jason deserves a place on this list along with Marty Friedman
It's not just about picking style, YJM uses half dim arpeggios so much and his make a style with it, Am harmonic Minor than switch to E phrygian dominant and booom welcome to neoclassical genre :)
I think hi is struggling only with BB King, because the blues is not about technique, but blues soul. That's why Jimmy sucks too... paradoxically, two of them have the simplest notes (if Edge not count).
I had been thniking for years that Paul Gilbert was probably the most versatile guitar player out there. Well, now after seeing this display, and also after having had the opportunity to see The Aristocrats play live, I am beginning to seriously question my previous thoughts... Jesus, this guy is insane!!🤪🤪
300 NOTES PER SECOND AND NO SIGNATURE, NO EMOTION, YOU CAN SAY A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT IT BUT MUSIC IT'S NOT. 3 DEEP NOTES OF BIBI KING WIPES OUT ALL OF THAT CHILDISH NOODLE.
TWO SENTENCES OF CAPITAL LETTERS, AND NO LANGUAGE, NO SENSE, YOU CAN SAY A LOT OF THINGS BUT REALLY ITS JUST ANOTHER CLOSED-MINDED NUFF NUFF WHO CANT LISTEN TO ANY STYLE OF MUSIC OUTSIDE HIS COMFORT ZONE WITHOUT COMPLAINING IT HAS NO EMOTION
@@bigschnoz Nah, you just might not be into it. More mathy stuff just doesnt sway with people. But maybe other artists might be a good gateway. Plini, Protest the Hero, Fall of Troy, some djent bands, some might be too brash but try them out and see how they sit. Even Guthrie's own Erotic Cakes album might be good. Take it easy.
@@asciicatface I have looked at a bit of Plini on RUclips, very talented. I do enjoy some mathy stuff e.g. Tool, Periphery and classic prog with odd tempo etc, I just struggle a bit when it heads towards jazz realms. Currently playing a lot of Von Hertzen Brothers.
I'm a huge fusion fan and I don't get the Aristocrats either. I've heard the recordings but I'm not hearing songs. Just a lot of notes. No melodies that I want to hum later. The guys can all play, but there's no THERE there for me with them.
Amazing playing, and really nailed most of these. I didn't think the Jimi and Yngwie parts really sounded like them specifically, but just more general fuzz blues (with some shreddy parts) and a general neoclassical shred lead.
Govan is an unbelievable guitar player.Maybe the best ever but there is one thing that he is not good at and unfortunately it is very important:Guitar tone...
@Philip Schlaepfer they're lying. they can easily play the hardest of hendrix songs. gurhtrie govan could do it in his sleep. a fucking teenager who has just enough discipline to actually properly practice could play hendrix songs. yea he's good but he's not the pinnacle of skill.
@@joejohnson974 Wow, it seems as though fourteen years is not long enough. Seriously? Fourteen years, and you're saying this? Honestly, I'm speechless.
Would have loved to hear his interpretation of Holdsworth. Many have tried, and all have failed... but I think Guthrie might pull it off. No pun intended.
That's almost not even believable. How can anyone be as good as Guthrie Govan? Anyone with ears connected to a brain understands that Mr Govan's simply the best guitar player who has ever lived.
With all the respect for guthire as a really wonderful players , but he is not in level of gilmour , satriani , hendrix , beck , its not about you can play like them , its about you character in your fingers
Honestly my favourite part of this was hearing the Jimi part, and hearing the SRV from the Jimi, and then the Mayer from the SRV. Was like listening to three generations in one.

Back in Lithuania (not really from there. Just sounds good for more story) I heard the story of the Guitar demon who could replicate your style and put you to shame with his technical ability, all while smiling a boyish smile, not ever really shaving much...THE LEGEND IS TRUE!
BEWARE! THE GUITAR DEMON! HE EXISTS! HE'LL STEAL YOUR STYLE AND SHOW THE WORLD OVER WHY HE'S THE GREATEST MODERN DAY GUITARIST!
Scared myself! How will I sleep tonight?!
His name is Damian Salazar.
so hold on a minute, this guy is like dracula?
Im from lithuania tell me more
@@asesuserasnaidzelas You are? Get out! What a coincidence! You know Steve from Punžonys? LOL
@@kojam1 no lol, its like asking do u know Lee from tokyo
Sofa-King wild when he gets to Jimi Hendrix and just nails his sound. He nailed every bodies sound. Throughout the entire roll of impressions. He is a fetching genius.
Govan is a true master of his instrument - one of the very best and most versatile rock guitarists alive today.
Hi there, for those interested in the Guthrie Govan tab, I reviewed somethings and put it here. enjoy and hope you learn a lot like I did.

Whenever I listen to Guthrie:
"Ahhhh....gg"
No Buckethead (Brian Carroll)?! Bummer.... Still an amazing compiliation though...
Somehow, getting the Eric Johnson and Sonny Landreth bits right impressed me the most. Amazing!
Guthrie is the complete Guitarist for me. A virtuoso with astonishing versatility. Amazing live too🤘
Jimi was amazing..it is apparent everyones playing all goes back to him
No Robert Fripp?
Best Sweep Picking Yngwie? He's a legend don't get me wrong but to me that title belongs to Jason Becker. Jason deserves a place on this list along with Marty Friedman
I mean Yngwie can't last 3 seconds without sweeping so idk
It's not just about picking style, YJM uses half dim arpeggios so much and his make a style with it, Am harmonic Minor than switch to E phrygian dominant and booom welcome to neoclassical genre :)
Can someone tell me what guitar effect is used right at the start of Tom Morello's part? 3:00
Ruby Inferno whammy pedal and playing staccato ;)
@@LucasLucasMusic Thanks a lot!
I'd like to see him do some Holdsworth.
And Metheny.
no chance
Allan was on another level...the one unlike the others..
@@rafaeljenner508 Holdsworth was on another level.. he was in another plane of existance! all i can say is Atavachron
Definitely would be the winner for 'Best Chords'
Interesting. Without looking I guessed about 4 of them
i love how guthrie’s style is still audible in every part
Unbelievable! I wished at the end he'd go into SRV! :D
I think hi is struggling only with BB King, because the blues is not about technique, but blues soul. That's why Jimmy sucks too... paradoxically, two of them have the simplest notes (if Edge not count).
I had been thniking for years that Paul Gilbert was probably the most versatile guitar player out there. Well, now after seeing this display, and also after having had the opportunity to see The Aristocrats play live, I am beginning to seriously question my previous thoughts... Jesus, this guy is insane!!🤪🤪
300 NOTES PER SECOND AND NO SIGNATURE, NO EMOTION, YOU CAN SAY A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT IT BUT MUSIC IT'S NOT.
3 DEEP NOTES OF BIBI KING WIPES OUT ALL OF THAT CHILDISH NOODLE.
TWO SENTENCES OF CAPITAL LETTERS, AND NO LANGUAGE, NO SENSE, YOU CAN SAY A LOT OF THINGS BUT REALLY ITS JUST ANOTHER CLOSED-MINDED NUFF NUFF WHO CANT LISTEN TO ANY STYLE OF MUSIC OUTSIDE HIS COMFORT ZONE WITHOUT COMPLAINING IT HAS NO EMOTION
Jon Elordieta THIS ISNT THE EXACT STYLE OF MUSIC I LIKE SO ITS INFERIOR
I can live without the Aristocrats but Guthrie's work with Steven Wilson is sublime
Maybe 'cause u never joined The Aristocrats live..?!? It's unforgetable!
@@ralfkirsten124 Hi Ralf, I think its too musically complex for me but perhaps I need to experience them live to get it?
@@bigschnoz Nah, you just might not be into it. More mathy stuff just doesnt sway with people. But maybe other artists might be a good gateway. Plini, Protest the Hero, Fall of Troy, some djent bands, some might be too brash but try them out and see how they sit. Even Guthrie's own Erotic Cakes album might be good. Take it easy.
@@asciicatface I have looked at a bit of Plini on RUclips, very talented. I do enjoy some mathy stuff e.g. Tool, Periphery and classic prog with odd tempo etc, I just struggle a bit when it heads towards jazz realms. Currently playing a lot of Von Hertzen Brothers.
I'm a huge fusion fan and I don't get the Aristocrats either. I've heard the recordings but I'm not hearing songs. Just a lot of notes. No melodies that I want to hum later. The guys can all play, but there's no THERE there for me with them.
WOW! BB KING
I lose my mind everytime people mistype Jimi Hendrix...
Just to see if y'all where paying attention. XD
Mohamed Haddi i have no better answer honestly lol
sounds the least resemblance to original, too...that fuzztone was whack af lol
Okay, but he went by Jimmy too, as in Jimmy James and the Blue Flames.
Diogo Teque Well u can’t even spell ur own name right... DIEGO... (Lol jk)
Guthrie udoubtedly can play any guitarists style perfectly, except his own style.
Amazing playing, and really nailed most of these. I didn't think the Jimi and Yngwie parts really sounded like them specifically, but just more general fuzz blues (with some shreddy parts) and a general neoclassical shred lead.
Govan is an unbelievable guitar player.Maybe the best ever but there is one thing that he is not good at and unfortunately it is very important:Guitar tone...
jimi hendrix: *plays the pentatonic scale pretty fast*
everyone: this is literally the greatest thing ever. nobody will ever be better than this.
@Philip Schlaepfer they're lying. they can easily play the hardest of hendrix songs. gurhtrie govan could do it in his sleep. a fucking teenager who has just enough discipline to actually properly practice could play hendrix songs. yea he's good but he's not the pinnacle of skill.
@Philip Schlaepfer lol i've been playing for 14 years
@@joejohnson974 Wow, it seems as though fourteen years is not long enough. Seriously? Fourteen years, and you're saying this? Honestly, I'm speechless.
@@genius7328 what exactly is wrong with what I'm saying? From a pure technical skill standpoint, jimi hendrix is not even close to the best
great stuff. so where is Guthrie Govan in all this?
Maybe he played all the parts?
He doesn't not have a distinctive style.
@@sivasubban4560 Actually he has. Listen to his album "Erotic Cakes" or his contributions in "The Aristocrats" band.
@@francoisathome5979 ummm i don't think he wrote what you (and apparently two other people as well lol) thought he did
Jeff Hennefeld
When you have no style of your own you emulate
Would have loved to hear his interpretation of Holdsworth. Many have tried, and all have failed... but I think Guthrie might pull it off. No pun intended.
pity the only thing he tried to imitate ej in was his clean intro style
That's almost not even believable. How can anyone be as good as Guthrie Govan? Anyone with ears connected to a brain understands that Mr Govan's simply the best guitar player who has ever lived.
One of them for sure.
Hendrix was never that smooth...
The Hendrix one is Guthrie's worst impersonation here. Hendrix at the top of his game is hard to top for that style of music (in my opinion).
Its not an accurate impersonation but Jimis playing was actually not bad technically.
Crap, you clearly haven't paid any attention to Jimi. Just listen to Johnny B Goode Berkeley or Villanova Junction Woodstock. Talk about smooth.
It was but you just don't know. There is much more of Hendrix than the few vids you can find on RUclips.
With all the respect for guthire as a really wonderful players , but he is not in level of gilmour , satriani , hendrix , beck , its not about you can play like them , its about you character in your fingers
amazing guitar playing, an audible costume party.
Completely ridiculous skills on that ghee-tar 😮
Honestly my favourite part of this was hearing the Jimi part, and hearing the SRV from the Jimi, and then the Mayer from the SRV. Was like listening to three generations in one.
Idk, it sounded too muddy to me.
@@vs4571 Agreed
SHIT THAR SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE DAVID GILMOUR!
