i would say.... the best guitarist of all time...... he's complete... the guitarist with full skill ... picking, tapping scale jazz tecnnique velocity, hybrid pick, blues heavy country funk slap, -.-
This guitar is the new Suhr Guthrie Govan Signature Model that Suhr Guitars introduced at NAMM. Guthrie just got that guitar right before NAMM, so he has had it for a few days at the most when this video was filmed. BTW, I work at Suhr as the marketing guy and worked with Guthrie in developing this guitar. :)
Respond to this video... man everytime isee guthrie play he just gets more amazing and inreasing his bag o tricks like unreal the man is just a one of a kind....
Sorry, I got this clip confused with the Orange Jam clip. Guthrie's playing his Signature Model Modern (24-fretter) here and playing the Ocean Turquoise Classic on Orange Jam.
Hey, no problem. Yeah, the best part of the job is working with great players like Guthrie, Mike Landau, Scott Henderson, Reb Beach, etc. All really nice guys too. Guthrie is as humble as he is talented.
Besides the new GG Sig Model (based on the Modern), he also has a blue metallic Modern with the Floyd, the Std model in Cherry SB with the reverse headstock, another Std model in Root Beer finish, a Classic (Strat) in Ocean Turquoise (the one he's playing on this clip) and a Classic T (Tele) in Butterscotch. So, yeah, he's got a nice collection of different guitars with different woods and pickups, etc. I'm also holding another Std for him here in the US. He's got 7 Suhrs and he'll get more. ;)
He comes from a different planet. It is amazing what he can do with a bit of wood and steel. well after watching this I think i am going to sleep very well lol.
I think that GG pretty much proves that there is knowing how to play the guitar and then a whole other frickin' level beyond that....and then there's like 7 other levels and he mastered those like 10 years ago.
Looks like the relatively new John Suhr Modern 24-fret model. Check his website, he's got a cool new carved-top version too, Not the usual carve, more of a fullness than a bulging.
Guthrie should make an instructional double disc DVD explaining everything like picking, phrasing, legato, bending, blues style, jazz, rock, metal, funk....
i wish i lived closer too him to get lessons, guthrie if you ever feel like moving to the south coast and to beautiful beaches and sunny (haha sunnyish) weather i would love to get some tuition if i could afford it :) peace brian
bummer...Cornford amp company is no more. : ( I just went to see about possibly getting the small combo (still am actually) and read that they went out of business mid 2013. That really sucks.
hey:) guthrie is a tutor at my college, the British institute of modern music. I was wondering how many models you've made for him so far? As he brings in quite a variety
Apart from the fact that I don't agree with you: You do know that he only presents an amp here, right? Watch some of his gigs. In my opinion there are not many musicians who exceed Guthrie in feel.
To the folks that said Jason doesn't play blues is funny. Jason was the only candidate to replace Vai in David Lee Roth. Jason has killing blues songs on his later releases and even played blues with his right hand fingering when his left hand got too weak. Meet me in the morning has so much feel its crazy.......perpetual burn wasn't all Becker did..........he played Jazz ,blues, rock EVERYTHING brother.
Hmm...hate to break it right back to you, but that was pilfered by Purple from the Blues Magoos, who'd taken it from Rick Nelson's 'Summertime' rendition---as blatant as Zeps rip of 'Dazed' from Holmes-
Don't take this the wrong way ...i know Jason and he says Guthrie is the BEST and wants him to play at his benefit show next year....Jason's dream is to hear Guthrie play at his house LIVE and if he could bring Tal Wilkenfeld he would CRY. My comments are irrelevant because it is just an opinion...no one is the BEST.....they are both genius in different ways.
Proof that aliens live among us! (and sometimes see getting on the train with me!) Guthrie is SO good it's unbelievable. Just got rid of my Cornford MK50 II sitting behind him. Really difficult decision but it had to go.
@robsalsa71 - "i know Jason and he says Guthrie is the BEST" When a man like Becker says something like that (many many other top recording artists say the same thing also) you have to take that on board.
Give this man a grammy
i would say.... the best guitarist of all time...... he's complete... the guitarist with full skill ... picking, tapping scale jazz tecnnique velocity, hybrid pick, blues heavy country funk slap, -.-
Maybe he’ll make something of himself one day
he was being sarcastic when he said "God bless you" ...he just didnt wanna say "I bless you"
People should know that if guthrie plugs into my dishwasher, he can make it sound as good as a 69 bassman
Paolo Ghezzo hahaha!
They also should no that if guthrie plugged it in car's speaker it would sound like a Marshall JC900
in my opinion Guthrie is probably the greatest living guitar player right now...unbelievable guitar player..
"Bless you, sir, for your kind words". 2:53
A guitar god that sounds like an Irish folk-singer. So EPIC!
Thanks for the reply. I am real glad you like your job, and you must feel real proud to meet all those cool players. Keep in touch.
probably my favorite guitarist of all time, simply for his versatility and creativity.
The crowd fails but as usual, Guthrie is astonishing - one of the best ever.
The amps are of course, outstanding :)
would be nice to hear what the amp can do in this Roadhouse AMP demo, after all it's a Roadhouse AMP demo right???

Man, Guthrie is amazing!! What a versatile and well-rounded musician and killer shreddiness to boot :)
holy sh, so much clarity and full tone for that low volume
That guitar is GORGEOUS....
the Pau Ferro fingerboard looks amazing!!
Honestly, I don't think I've heard an amp with more sparkle and clarity than those Cornfords. They're out of this world.
Respond to this video... man everytime isee guthrie play he just gets more amazing and inreasing his bag o tricks like unreal the man is just a one of a kind....
that is probably one of the most beautiful guitars ever created.
Guthrie's a legend but hes also a really nice guy, probably why he gets overlooked by a lot of people
?????????????? , i dont get why there are only six or seven people watching this man! . i would fly there just for guthrie , he's incredible.
Notice how Christlike he is. He just kicks ass with an aura of kindness, I think i saw him in a Raphael painting the other day raising the dead.
Guthrie's playing was awesome and he looks like a nice, humble guy
woh I thought Guthrie Govan was an old country man back in the early 30's but I didn't expect to see this! He's great!
Sorry, I got this clip confused with the Orange Jam clip. Guthrie's playing his Signature Model Modern (24-fretter) here and playing the Ocean Turquoise Classic on Orange Jam.
Good to see Guthrie got his Suhr signature model
amazing sound and a great Guthrie Govan!!!
And after that day Brett was blessed by Guthrie and lived a joyous life...
That's really cool. You must have a really good job. Plus thanks for the info about the guitar. I know about it now. Thanks.
Guthrie's runs are soo amazing
he's another hard-to-catch guy. Well for you. Between Guthrie and me, the connection went instantly.
god bless you sir for your kind words :P sounds like he was using an accent there. he talks a little different on his favourite licks vid
AND, I forgot - love the 'Black Night" lick thrown in while demoing the gain boost :)
Guthrie is such a great guy: so very humble!
Hey, no problem. Yeah, the best part of the job is working with great players like Guthrie, Mike Landau, Scott Henderson, Reb Beach, etc. All really nice guys too. Guthrie is as humble as he is talented.
Guthro makes every amp sound good.
thankyou sir for your kind words! :D
He is apparently, really nice, very modest, approachable and humble
I hope there's a NAMM 2012 Guthrie video up at some point...
Stop GG. Im just here to hear the amp, not to stop playing guitar forever!!!!
Damn, he simply cannot stop fascinating us,
I truly hope "the 2012 thing" isn't for real cause he has plenty more to show us, cheers Guthrie. :)
Thanks for the info, I will give it a try. Thanks again.
Besides the new GG Sig Model (based on the Modern), he also has a blue metallic Modern with the Floyd, the Std model in Cherry SB with the reverse headstock, another Std model in Root Beer finish, a Classic (Strat) in Ocean Turquoise (the one he's playing on this clip) and a Classic T (Tele) in Butterscotch.

that was best for me what ive seen form guthrie.
He comes from a different planet. It is amazing what he can do with a bit of wood and steel. well after watching this I think i am going to sleep very well lol.
A gifted guitar player , origin to be confirmed !
Celt 5971 Alien
Exactly what you're hearing. He muffles the strings with his left hand, that's where it's going on. His right hand is simply strumming. :)
If its good enough for Guthrie Govan...
It's good enough for every guitar player on the planet.
he's amazing
I think that GG pretty much proves that there is knowing how to play the guitar and then a whole other frickin' level beyond that....and then there's like 7 other levels and he mastered those like 10 years ago.
Best intro ever!!!!!
Looks like the relatively new John Suhr Modern 24-fret model. Check his website, he's got a cool new carved-top version too, Not the usual carve, more of a fullness than a bulging.

Met Guthrie, he's a legend :D
What make of guitar is Govan playing in this video. Cause it looks amazing?
haha i love the way guthrie is giving them gold but they are still using him like an advert lol
i wish i lived closer too him to get lessons, guthrie if you ever feel like moving to the south coast and to beautiful beaches and sunny (haha sunnyish) weather i would love to get some tuition if i could afford it :)
peace
brian
get one of his "creative guitar" books
theyre awesome!
you have caught yourself a very talented sponsor :D
Does that rosewood fingerboard have some treatment on it? it looks kinda shinny like they put something on it unlike most rosewood fingerboards
bummer...Cornford amp company is no more. : ( I just went to see about possibly getting the small combo (still am actually) and read that they went out of business mid 2013. That really sucks.
+dajzilla Check victory amps. Martin kidd (their designer) now is with Victory amps.
She was I saw her. What an odd thing to do at a giutar show. Still gr8 playing don't you think?
hey:) guthrie is a tutor at my college, the British institute of modern music. I was wondering how many models you've made for him so far? As he brings in quite a variety
that little thing he did at 7:44 makes me laugh because its so crazy how he has all these tricks in his locker
Very nice, does he get them all free for endorsing?
yeah....neither can you.....where did you see information on 2012?
wow!! no words!
that walking bass line with his trem is just insane! @ 2:10
hey guys, what do you think about a roadhouse 30 top in comparison with the 50 head?
Apart from the fact that I don't agree with you: You do know that he only presents an amp here, right?
Watch some of his gigs.
In my opinion there are not many musicians who exceed Guthrie in feel.
Gg could make any amp sound amazing
I think he can play forever non stop...
its probley not even noon! what a top guy
i love he is playing on a Suhr guitar ! :D
@metalheadshredder1 It's a John Suhr Guthrie Govan Model.
(Similar to the Modern 24)
How much are we talking for this crazy bad ass amp?
To the folks that said Jason doesn't play blues is funny. Jason was the only candidate to replace Vai in David Lee Roth. Jason has killing blues songs on his later releases and even played blues with his right hand fingering when his left hand got too weak. Meet me in the morning has so much feel its crazy.......perpetual burn wasn't all Becker did..........he played Jazz ,blues, rock EVERYTHING brother.
@Element404 Well obviously so was I. Unless Guthrie can really rip someones head off with pure tone? If it's possible then share the link??
Hmm...hate to break it right back to you, but that was pilfered by Purple from the Blues Magoos, who'd taken it from Rick Nelson's 'Summertime' rendition---as blatant as Zeps rip of 'Dazed' from Holmes-
that guitar is soo f'in nice. I wonder if Guthrie is writing any new music?
I found myself holding my breath...wow...no pedals killer sound and playing
Anyone know what the Cornford 2x12 cabs sound like?.Can't decide between this and a Mesa rectifier 2x12
How would one of these Cornfords compare to a Marshall JCM 800 2203?
Anyone know what gauge strings he uses (yes, I know that won't make me play like Guthrie) ?
They look pretty thick..
If its any help, he does have a couple of instructional guitar books out.
@MoneyPieBoy sarcasm, right...i have heard of the concept, what do you call it when you see someone genuinely not get whats goin on?
The Rk100 is a very Big sound. love it!!!
Guthrie is so versatile it gives me nightmares. My favorite guitarist alive - from a technical /original standpoint.
this is the true master
Don't take this the wrong way ...i know Jason and he says Guthrie is the BEST and wants him to play at his benefit show next year....Jason's dream is to hear Guthrie play at his house LIVE and if he could bring Tal Wilkenfeld he would CRY. My comments are irrelevant because it is just an opinion...no one is the BEST.....they are both genius in different ways.
Scary player, Guthrie is top class player
@AreYouIrrelevant GG doesn't strum chords. He only knows how to fuse nerve endings in peopl's brains with his awsomeness
Proof that aliens live among us! (and sometimes see getting on the train with me!)
Guthrie is SO good it's unbelievable.
Just got rid of my Cornford MK50 II sitting behind him. Really difficult decision but it had to go.
Man this guys fantastic, I never tire of listening to him :)
does anyone know what brand of guitar he is using in this video??
Whos that girl in the backround?
GG is a god, wonderful phrasing and Cornford had great tone. Coool beans GG!!!
@maneatingtoilets I don't think they're very heavy. They are good for what Guthrie is using them for on this video.
Wow... this guy is Scary Great!!!!!
I doubt any of you guys know it, but that was a Blues Magoos riff at 5:00.....now return to your shredding-
@robsalsa71 - "i know Jason and he says Guthrie is the BEST" When a man like Becker says something like that (many many other top recording artists say the same thing also) you have to take that on board.
I want that guitar.
the guy says:pretty good playing!its fucking awesome!
