guthrie govan should host a top gear style show about music gear
+greeeenmachine I would consider selling myself and my full extended family into slavery for a chance to see that.
Would pay for
greeeenmachine i feel like he’s too good. It would be awesome to see a blues player, a jazz player, and a rock player tho...
Maybe, though I would maintain that whatever Too Gear-esque show needs Jeremy Clarkson.
Whoever drew that conclusion I can only say "well played" the BBC is choice.
He sounds like a British Mikael Åkerfeldt.
Erik Adams i know right!
Holy shit
He used the term "Lonely Swede" to describe a type of playing, and I think Mikael has mentioned in another interview that that is how Steve Wilson describes Mikael's guitar playing.
@@extremeAJ619 Yes, it's definitely an Åkerfeldt reference. Plus that part sounds a lot like Mikael
He sounds AND looks so much like Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson.
The Aristocrat's "Culture Clash" is coming out June 24th, with US East Coast/Midwest Tour Dates in July & August and European and West Coast/Western Midwest in early 2014. I don't know how they all clear their schedules (Marco's got Steven Wilson as well and Joe Satriani's current tour along with Bryan and Mike Keneally)
Guthrie speaks so well! Hell of a player
"My philosophy with pedlas has always been to keep it simple" - *epic 2 part pedalboard*
Has an equally brilliant mind too.
Omg that neck humbucker with the tone rolled off..... :')
Guthrie seems like such a nice guy.
14:58 reminds me of the star wars title theme, and considering this is mr Guthrie Govan we're talking about, then I dare to say it's intentional.
17:30 - that's a jawdropper impromptu lick...
Wow, Guthrie's playing with Porcupine Tree. way cool.
Great guitarist but having seen and heard him speak I'm wondering if he came first or Steve Coogan's Saxondale
Thank you!! I knew i'd heard that voice before & its a dead ringer! Saxondale is a brilliant show also!
and how can you have missed that the presenter sounds like Kermit the Frog with a slight intake of helium. haha
Thought that went without saying!
It's the Alan Partridge of prog. Smell my cheese.
Yes, that sure sounds like Opethy clean tone =P
"We've grown weary of this guitar, we seek *new* pleasures" Guthrie is a living Monty Python sketch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Tomfoolery1972…….it helps too that he’s stuck with the interviewer who’s somewhat humourless and is a great foil for Guthrie’s sense of irony and his comical side!
@@2earacheay lets be real not everyone can be an entertainer (referring to interviewer)
A true Nigel Tufnel moment. While guthrie was running through his rig and talking about his amp head..... "this is a new company...so new that it doesn't exist yet."
wow that's perfect, thanks for making me laugh
Also "....hilariously stable..." (describing the neck).....🤣
no wonder he's good, he's been playing the lute since the 17th century
+theycallmejpj He has been playing since 33 BC. lol
His sense of humor is almost leveled with his guitar skills.
18:54 "I'm not the kind of guy who fetishises over guitars."
*receives frown from Guthrie*
Fetishizes
yea and that PRS was hardcore "meh" compared to guthrie's.
Guthrie’s response: That’s good because I am the guitar
I will never look at a McDonald's employee the same again.
1nzi i no right!
Guthrie wasn't all that bright when he worked at Mc D!
yeah & he was a 5-star.. lol
I've worked at McDonalds and honestly, you're fine; they're mostly talentless cunts
lol me either
hilariously stable
guthrie govan drinking tea would probably be the most british thing
Pierre Ibrahim whilst eating a crumpet
Late but there is a vid where he is drinking tea with one hand and shredding with the other (not a joke)
spoken like a true American. did you type this while driving your pickup truck, shooting guns in the sky, yelling “yeeeeeehaaaaaw”?
Coldacre
NO! WE’RE ALSO EATING MCDONALDS.
some people just don’t fact check
I saw another video where his guitar pedal board was literally a tea tray
That is the most fucked up thing in the world to think that, without a twist of fate, the best guitar player in the world would have been making minimum wage flipping tasty burgers, instead of shredding out the tastiest licks ever heard by mankind's ears.
Worst thing is that there are people who will watch this and say: "I worked with that guy" and realize they didn't accomplish anything in life. Now that has to sting
Twist of fate and also a lot of work and practice. I don't think Guthrie acquired his guitar playing just by waiting on destiny to take a turn, he must have busted his ass during his free time.
At 17:22 he bends up a second and then up another third. A few centuries ago he would have been burned at the stake for that
+playingforbritain minor third
Db X Which is, nevertheless, a third
+playingforbritain nice try but i'm sure after 7 months you realize there's an important distinction between the two and that "a third" implies major.
Db X It implies a minor third when you're in a minor key, as he was. Besides, the majority of people who read my comment and hear the phrase either know what Guthrie's playing, so they understand the comment; or they don't, and are none the wiser anyway.
+playingforbritain you state that he played a minor third because he's in a minor key, but he's actually in a minor key because he played a minor third lol. you got it backwards friend.
Imagine him serving someone in McDonalds in his calming voice saying "Hello! Welcome to McDonalds what would you like today?"
Or someone bitching at him because their order was fucked up and they tell him, "You're a loser working at MickeyD's and you'll never amount to anything"
"Welcome to McDonalds, can I interest you in an erotic cake?"
@@BollocksUtwat I giggled.
The funny thing is that he has worked for a period at McDonald's!
@@edwindantes539 - he put some extra 'love' in their Big Mac.
i love guthrie's voice :D
He's got that deep sultry voice
+joe bornpsycho Yeah I wish I had his voice.
+MichaelD8393 Me too, I sound like Gilbert Gottfried being sodomised by a moose.
Mox_au Damn, I can only imagine how that must be.
+MichaelD8393 My wife said it's like making love to Bobcat Goldthwait, if he had downs syndrome, and electrodes connected to his testes.
"We will never speak of them again."
Did Guthrie sneak in some purple rain? 15:24
Yup, and "Star Wars", and "Love Rollercoaster", and probably some others...
After seeing that McDonalds badge, Guthrie seems like such a genuine, authentic individual who just needed to use music to boost his life. Not only has he become one of the most talented players on the planet, he's never let it go to his head.
Someone like Paul McCartney might be one of the greatest musicians based on records sales, but the guy has such a massive ego, and frankly, I find that it's difficult to appreciate his music because of this. It's like the guy has completely forgotten about what he set out to do when he first began with the Beatles... Nowadays, there are so many musicians out there who have followed this type of behavior, especially in genres like hip-hop and rap (*cough Kanye West).
For these reasons, I'm always going to respect artists like Guthrie who naturally possess a down-to-earth, wholehearted personality, because that's something that I try to relate to and people like him are the people I'd like to see succeed in this world.
+A Proc That teaches us that you never know who is delivering your burgers, perhaps a music genious, a future Nobel prize, future president ...who knows.
+A Proc You certainly have a point, but some ego is required to do the job and do it well. Some of the greatest musicians have massive egos and some can turn it off away from the stage, but it has no bearing on the artistic merit of their work.
kinda like Zakk Wylde or Dimebag Darrell
I don't understand the need to offset someone like Paul McCartney with Guthrie! In fact I don't understand the need for any negativity to make a positive point. Both are great for their own reasons.
The dislikes are all from suhr
Lmao 🤣
lemaw
you mean sewer
Hani the Himbo obviously you’ve never had the luck to try a sl67
@@TheIecCreemMan never heard of her
One of the best rig rundowns I have seen.
I like how the guitars get played and how its the guitarist doing the interview and not their guitar tech.
I wish all musicians were as humble and pleasant as Guthrie , he just seems like the most laid back guy ever. And of course the best guitarist I know of XD
Awesome guy!!!
@@edwindantes539 I bet Wilson is a dickhead
Gerald Francis I agree with you, just down to earth and humble, it makes a change!!!👍🏿
I Love the McD's badge. That'll keep ya grounded. Charvel makes the best production guitar for the money(just my opinion Ibanez fans). The SoCal and San Dimas are fantastic. His Charvel must be a dream to play. Govan is one of those Eric Johnson "mad genius" guitar players. He does his own thing, and it sounds great.
I was just about to say something "similar" about Steve Wilson's PRS. Not so surprisingly the "Gold Top" PRS SE 245 single cut w/ PRS pickups, has a lot of Gibson LP vibe built into it via the Ted McCarty effect on Paul Smith as the former CEO of Gibson Guitar Company
i despise country music, except old country i can bare, but at 4:00 - 4:20 i could listen to that all day
Guthrie is rather convincingly simulating a slide guitar. Watching slide players take the bar and angle it, or using a pedal to bend the note, its impressive as all hell to see him do 'country bends' on a regular old 6 banger. I tried it, way too hard for me to bend 1 step, downward, on 10s so I gave up. Guthrie for the win.
You've never heard of the grateful dead huh
Albert Lee teaches that stuff online
He sounds like a super rich guy from Victorian era Britain.
dannyphehe To me at least..
Guthrie's sense of humor is just as glorious as his playing. Would love to have a beer with him and just talk music all day long.
Going back and watching this is such an eye-opener into how things have changed in the past 6-7 years.
He talks about not knowing who Strymon were.
He talks about Victory Amps not being a company yet.
He talks about having a backup pedal in case he can't take his large Victory amp with him - they now have a lunchbox style head AND a pedal version of his amp.
Amazing!
Even weirder now 4 years on, he's gone digital and uses an AxeFX
Steven Wilson probably calls that nice warm clean tone "the Lonely Swede" as a reference to Mikael Akerfeldt. ;)
Met Guthrie a while back, great guy and absolutely fantastic player!
Perhaps the most down-to-earth, seemingly easy to get on with musician I have ever witnessed.
I adore the sound of that Jazzmaster. :O) Beautiful.
+Marmaduke Winterbotham Agree. It sounds haunting and beautiful.
+Marmaduke Winterbotham looks beautiful too, i want it so bad
Guthrie is a great person, love the way he presents stuff
Respect to the Interviewer, asked the right questions but didn't take over. Guthrie as always, just awesome.
I'm here for the neck joints.
"this is a new company, so new it doesn't exist yet"
; D
rg2027x zero response from interviewer..😒😑
rg2027x Is it a pun? Didn't get it yet
@@linksayajin2958 Referencing Nigel Tuffnel from Spinaltap
18:19 why does steven look so panicked for a second
He has autism!
woah! 15:00 did he just play star wars?
Actually George Lucas stole that from Guthrie...
Apache- Shadows? I believe it to be that and not Star Wars ;o
that's the Harry Potter theme
Their voice are just so pleasant to listen too
Its called good diction and voice modulation. They should teach it to people in school. Its like the music of the voice. If you are around people who do it you'll do it naturally. The same goes for how people walk and conduct themselves physically too. Still, people won't accept good taste :)
comprehensiveboy it has nothing to do with any of that. Literally anyone who lives in the UK, myself included, will tell you that they're just standard southern accents.
Rad Thibideaux No, its not accent still less being southern. I'm english. He thinks, acts and talks like a gent.
Ninjanomikz Have you sampled a representative group of British speakers? Merely being British does not bestow these qualities. Often the best examples are shown in the media and films, though nowadays much less so. Unattractiveness in manners and speech is very prevalent. If you walk down many public streets you will hear aggressiveness, foul language, stupidity, spitting, you name it. Its the flip side of the tourist image. The ideal is a thin layer on top if an unattractive mass.
i'm from liverpool myself. the marmite of uk accents haha
3:08 I just love it when guthrie plays stuff like that
Almost the lick!
Mehoy Miboy he’s a Jazz man.
how not to love him... really he is an awsome guy and a god of guitar arts
another reminder not to judge a book by its cover.. ive seen this guys picture on the internets and wrote him off as a shredding metal guy, but my god i've learned a bunch of smooth lines just from watching this one video.
Mcdonald's is a really cheap greasy fast food chain around the world and apparently Guthrie used to work there.
Funny,his accent sounds rather posh at times,and here and there,just like one the lads,a London geezer."Yea mate,a pinte of lager,and a bag of roasted peanuts,lovely,cheers mate!" Love the Brits,and Hi from France :)
damn I'd never thought I would catch my self as a neck joint lover
After a bit of googling, I found that I my guess is actually right lol.
"Yes, we did a lot with that “jazzy” guitar tone. We call it the 'Lonely Swede Lost in the Forest' sound-a sort of jazzy, warm, and dark clean sound that’s mixed with a mono plate reverb. I love that sound-it’s on many ’70s records, and it’s especially noticeable on old Scandinavian records. My buddy Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth uses that sound quite a lot." -Steven Wilson
I like looking at neck joints :P
at 6:30, when Guthrie demonstrates "the Lonely Swede", he plays something that closely resembles the playing style of swedish piano player Jan Johansson. Check out his masterpiece album "Jazz på Svenska", which trnaslates into "Jazz in swedish". You wont be disappointed! :)
I think the tone is a direct reference to Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt
Hippy poetry:-)...ha! brilliant...great stuff...
Even got 5 stars at Maccy D's !!, I knew he would be good, What a decent chap he seems, I'd love to spend an hour with him. Could learn loads !
4:02 what an amusing little thing
I get so much happiness from Gurthrie and Steven working together. It's like two geniuses of my music appetite joined in a meal of delicious musicality.
17:00 "...something cool happens"...ahaha
Funny, when you watch some guitarists you think to yourself "Man, I love his tone!" With Guthrie, he'll unleash 20 guitar sounds, and each one sounds totally killer; unique, methodical and so clear-cut!
He sounds exactly like Jeremy Clarkson...
such a humble genius, love guthrie.
All that jazzy stuff that guthrie was playing gave me chills
14:30 Love Rollercoaster
Thank you! I was trying to remember what that riff was from. I love that.
I was already a Guthrie fan, then I saw the McDonald’s badge 😮❤❤
Yeah, the reason I don't sound like Guthrie is I didn't buy the right shit.
Maybe buy his hands. They are definitely seem to be magical.
6:40 I swear it's DESPACITO !!
That select HH Jazz is sick!!!
I don't think I'd even mind if PG just interviewed Guthrie every day. I can't get enough of his voice, wisdom, and skill.
Guthrie Govan and Greg Koch with Steve Morse should form the next G3-tour. Leave Satch and Vai on the outside to collect their royalties.
The best guitarist in the world. Very humble man. 😎
Guthrie Govan is real class act, one of a kind in this ever increasing narcissistic world we live.
Steve Wilson's choice of PRS electric guitars and Babbage & Ovation acoustic guitars are a testament to simplicity and workability...
Great rundown ... very funny and down to earth Guthrie ...bit of a genius on guitar too !
Victory amps weren't even a Company yet, haha...not they are quite big. Strymon also seemed to be new at the time too. Funny how things look when you can watch old videos.
Not complaining, love to listen to Govan talk, but how many Rundowns have you done on his gear? Don't get me wrong; I want more, but I think I've seen at least 3 (including this one)
sirspikey Think there were 2, this one and one with the aristocrats with a smaller pedalboard
What a gentleman! It's always the pleasure to watch mr. Guthrie!
Guthrie does the best rig rundown. He actually gives examples of his sound live! Just awesome all around! Kudos sir.
Gear Masters has done a bunch of these types of things with other musicians that PG hasnt, but PG RR's are more enjoyable to me because the musicians are interviewed about their gear. I like the conversation between artist and interviewer. GM is good, PG is great. So Id love to see some of those GM videos done better and more informative by PG!
This was my inaugural exposure to Mr. Guthrie Govan and I'm absolutely impressed. He's an awesome person and musician. Mr. Steven Wilson only continues to validate his own high I.Q. by collaborating with him.
Guthrie can play anything and is funny as hell!
For me he is the greatest living guitarist
No Argument here - regarding Guthrie Govan. He is an Absolute Beast. Love that guy. He can breathe-fire on acoustic - too.
Absolutely
No question
Not even close
@@phillipburnell8171 hmmmm. Care to explain?
Guthrie is so good he makes other master players look bad. Him and Per Nilsen are the reason so many of us have trouble playing. Theyre taking up all the damn talent.
7:00 Drive Home, by Steven Wilson, check it out ;)
The solo in that song is seriously one of the greatest of all time
+chippchipp1 Indeed, it's amazing. Some cracking solos on Hand Cannot Erase too, Ancestral and Home Invasion.
Guthrie got his 5 stars at McDonald's just from his first day at work. He was CEO within a week.
what's the technique that sort of just creates a massive harmonic chord(???)called on 14:12???
Not completely sure but looks like harmonics
You hold the pick between the middle finger and the thumb, and use the index to do the harmonics.
I love how he looks so uncertain but yet when he starts to speak he seems perfectly comfortable.
The howler= Rob Chappers
Haha. Chappers is the exact opposite of Guthrie. Massive ego and is not a great player at all.
@@DavidOakesMusic I love that this comment section shows the rise and fall of Chappers
Gotta love that British charm! These guys are fantastic musicians and that's some really lovely gear porn.
But does it go to 11?
Guthrie reminds me of a jazzy version of Dimebag. or maybe it's Dimebag that reminds me of a broodal version of Guthrie, dunno.
Reece Bartron lol, not talking about their style, bro. they just look very similar
14:56 Star Wars
Guthrie have such a pleasant sense of humour. Im listening to this just to hear his voice :)
Even the slightest, more off-the-cuff riff by Guthrie beats anything I've ever played on guitar in my 39 years of consciousness.
Where do you get one of those 3-way patchbays at 14:04? I'd kill for one!
Isn’t that head rob chapmans old signature model
Guthrie is quite an amazing person. He really inspires me. I've travelled a little to see him and will do a lot more in the future. He really is someone you should go and see!
I wonder if anyone has ever thought of making a guitar that has frets only up to fret 5. that way you can play open chords and go fretless for the solos.
