  • GUTHRIE GOVAN VS ALEX HUTCHINGS VS GREG HOWE
    Nesse vídeo vemos a performance de 3 GUITARRISTAS QUE MAIS SE DESTACAM NA GUITARRA FUSION.
    Alex Hutchings é um guitarrista profissional com sede em Bristol, Inglaterra. Ele toca e ensina especialmente jazz fusion, rock e r'n'b. Desde 2002, ele excursiona por uma variedade de diferentes conjuntos musicais e marcas.
    Gregory Howe (New York City, 8 de Dezembro de 1963) é um guitarrista virtuoso estadunidense. Instrumentista extremamente técnico e veloz, Howe é considerado o inventor de uma técnica chamada “hammer-on from nowhere”, que é um hammer-on feito sem palheta.
    Guthrie Govan (Chelmsford, Essex, 27 de Dezembro de 1971) é um músico inglês. Foi o guitarrista eleito pelo Guitarist Magazine's "Guitarrista do Ano" e tocou na banda Asia entre 2001 e 2006, tendo tocado também com Steven Wilson, e desde 2011 é membro do supergrupo The Aristocrats.

      These you bucks are inventing techniques that Guthrie has never used. Not saying they're better, but we have to assume that the following generations will always produce new and innovative guitarists. It's not like humans get worse at creating art.
      It certainly isn't a contest, but in terms of shredding, I'm sure you'd agree that guitarists were not sounding like Guthrie at all -- we had to evolve to reach that tier of excellence. Tim Henson and Marcus King being total opposites but amazing. And the Asian Invasion of shredders is over the top insane.

Also, Guthrie´s pinky is more active than Greg´s (Sorry Greg you are amazing too, I keep listening to all of your records you are a genius!)

I’m now about to turn 50 and still remember and listen those guitarists of the 80s . Those guys from that era will still be inspiring me in another 30 years if I’m lucky enough to be here still .

    When I was growing up I would always see the ads for shrapnel records at the back of the guitar magazines but never really had a chance to check out most of those guys because record stores didn't carry the shrapnel stuff so unless a friend lent me a record it was limited access. A couple years ago I went through all that stuff and Greg is the one that blew me away the most. My first impression was that he might be the best ever. Certainly most underrated guitarist. Period. That said I am actually a big fan of both Guthrie and Alex. They're both fantastic players and improvisers.

    From a guitar mastery perspective - technique, timing, phrasing then AH is by far the clear winner. Faster and cleaner than GG and rips outrageous 6 string sweeps (GG's sweep picking is very limited). From an influence perspective - GH takes the win and has been a rock/fusion legend since the 80s. For a uniqueness perspective - GH wins again. From a fanboy perspective, gaining plaudits because just assume he's going to be the best and so are operating out of prejudgement and expectation - GG wins.

    Guthrie's tasty melodic runs are beautiful! #1 Howe's are equally impressive but a bit more staccato, spot on runs are chilling. #1 Both are what i would call experienced, fusion players. All are top players, Alex plays a bit more of the jazz style. #1 I prefer the jazz rock/fusion sound over a jazz sound, but that's personal preference. Guthrie and Howe make my ears smile!

    How are the harmonics at the end of the Govan solo played? Is that a difficult technique?
    I can't understand how it's done. How are the notes being plucked or how is the string making a sound I only see him sliding the edge of his right hand. Is the left hand doing artificial harmonics? Are they all on the third fret?

      With your left hand you "hammer-on and pull-off" the fretboard. With the other hand, you slide through the pickups of the guitar or neck until you reach the harmonic sounds you want. Did you understand?

      @@NurseryCryme to say GG is on another level is just to say what you expect is the right answer based on his rep. If you actually knew anything about guitar playing you would know that AH is far beyond GG - both in terms of technique and creativity. Alex is a faster picker, a cleaner player, and a sweep master. GG's sweeping is quite limited, lacks smoothness, and he can't play what AH can.

    I prefer Greg's work, over the years the best (his 1st album changed my perspective !), but Alex in this setting (different recording scenario's etc) just dominated imo. His tone and forthright aggression was over the top and stole this competition imo. All 3 are fully capable of besting the other, its just a matter of what they are playing over.

    • @alexjackson8841
      @alexjackson8841 2 года назад

      Alex sounded absolutely perfect in this vid, but I think all of them are basically at the same level. For me, I actually like Guthrie's creativity the most, and I'd say he's the most versatile. But Alex gives me the same feeling now that I when I first heard Guthrie playing years ago. That feeling of excitement mixed with awe at his blend of note choice and blazing technique. I feel like Alex and Guthrie maybe have the edge over Greg in terms of technique. Have you got any material of Greg you could recommend? I haven't listened to THAT much of him.

      @andyhayes7828 2 года назад

      @@alexjackson8841 Sure, I would reccomend his 1st shrapnel records release (1988's 'Greg Howe'). Imo, it has his overall best melodies. Every track has strong verse and chorus melodies. Also, I prefer his tone on it as well.....it's more distorted which I like. I feel that there is more aggression on it as well (Red Handed is cool). 'Little Rose' is like a hypnotic daydream, just very cool. The second album is also pretty cool (Howe 2). Everything after that gets a bit TOO 'Wanker/Jazzy' for me, but, that dude is one of the best soloist ever, imo, depending on what he is soloing over.
