Guthrie is the ultimate inspiration. He didn't study music at university and is largely self taught - and just when you've thought you've hit a brick wall with your playing Guthrie shows you some crazy shit you've never seen before.
You know, i absolutely love guthrie...seriously i cant stop listening to him those times, because i havent truly listening him especially tres caballeros and erotic cakes...but there s something really important to know, you cant compare them, they re all great artists...they all have their legacy and styles, in pure technicity too, satriani s legato and mastery of mechanic vibrato, petrucci with his shredding speed skills which are astounding and wonderful, guthrie who is amazingly fast and sounds just like a piece of divine music (just like uncle skunk)...in fact you just CANT say which one is better...they re all far away from it and you know what : i love them all, i have my preference for satriani because he touch me right in the feels like nobody else but i will never say he s the better (or i am drunk, high or younger ^^)...i have listened many many many guitarists today, the notion of comparison is useful only when it s to broaden his musical horizon, the goal of music is to share and open minds...it s not here to make a dick contest :) or you ll never understand what music is, even Michael angelo batio know this (i like him too)
It is one thing to be able to play these licks and phrases technically, but to be able to improvise them and string them together so seamlessly is truly superhuman.
@@kelm91 I've been looking for years and I still can't find anyone who can match him. Maybe Shawn Lane when he was still alive, but nowadays I think he is one of a kind.
This guy's natural language is music. His comprenhension of music itself along with his jaw dropping technique sets him apart from the rest. I love other guitarist like slash, page and Hendrix, but this guy is a totally different league... the genius's league.
And every other style,there is nothing Govan cant do,and everything is flawless,with his amazing phrasing,untouchable technique and consistant fluidity no matter what it is he is playing.Simply the best Ive ever heard.
No one challenges this guy he challenges himself to see how many notes he can execute cleanly, flawlessly with precision, taste, rockability and style as fast as he can and he does it effortlessly.
OMG!! This guy is unreal! Is technique is unbelievable, and just when you think that it all gets to flashy with the fast notes, he drops something that is cool, funky and has emotion to it and you can't help but smile as you watch and listen to this maestro. I have to get into him a bit more now. GGG. (Go Guthrie Govan)
Dieser Mann kennt keine Geheimnisse was Guitarspielen kennt- einfach Geniale Technik, geniale Improvisationsgabe ein Talent der seines gleichen sucht... Er ist ganz allein auf breite Front......Unglaublich was man erreichen kann....
He's really slowed down his playing since these days. Is tone has changed alot too. It's cool to see how virtuoso players change over the years. Guthrie is one of the most dynamic players of our time.
I find the critics of truly exceptional players like Guthrie generally do not have an understanding of the theory or notation and techniques involved so it becomes boring as they are just watching fingers move. Players who are at a level to appreciate what he is doing usually cannot help but be impressed. One of the world's best, I believe.
When you watch him,, either playing or talking,, you can see that he's always in deep thought,,, he might be a.d.d., or a.d.h.d.,,,,, but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, WHO CARES!!!!!!
guthrie is special because, unlike most other players associated with "good electric guitar playing", he is able to give and take with all of his techniques, in a way that his notes happen because he means for them to, not because pentatonic scales sound "good" and fit under the fingers all the while corresponding with the fret markers... that and he is exceptionally musical, as opposed to egocentric. the world needs more players/musicians like guthrie.
he plays at the london guitar show when its on, which is annually, and he plays in his local every thursday in chelmsford... worth a trip, its amazing. great drumming too...
Sums it up. That is exactly how i fell right now! Just gonna wake up tomorrow and sell all my gear!!god... Was thinking about extracting maple syrup from trees as a hobbie
You would get the technique down eventually, playing 12 hours a day. Wouldn't require full lifetime. I doubt Guthrie is physically any outlier, just a dude with 10 fingers. He doesn't have freak of nature big pinky or anything like that, like Paul Gilbert. Knowing what notes to play is another thing, improvisation like this requires extreme musical talent. Understanding chords, what scale fits which chord, his brain is like musical super computer. That you can't learn
Lol....fuck yeh....god that is so inspiring/ demotivating. I've only just started turning my amp up thinking my neighbors will be suitably impressed....now im going back to headphones for another year.
this man is not a man, he is another thing, but he ain't no man, he is not an ordinary thing, it should be forbiden for him to play, for he makes others feel diminished with a guitar in hands..
Fark take Hendrix, Cream, Gary Moore, Duane Allman, Bettencourt, SRV, Shawn Lane, Brett Garsed, Joe Pass, Brian Setzer, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Petrucci, Gilbert, Ritchie Kotzen, Vai, Satriani, Holdsworth put them in a blender = Guthrie Govan
I think I have seen every note Guthrie has played on you tube and I'm convinced that he is quite bored with the current 122-144 note modern guitar...Either move to a 8 or 9 string Guthrie or some one invent the future......18 Strings, 36 Frets, 648 Possible notes,... THAT ought to keep him busy for a week or two, LOL. DBcooper
i love it when people leave shallow comments about some of the faces these artists make while engulfed in musical trance. it really goes to show how much they lack understanding of anything theyve ever experienced theyre whole life! thanks for being honest guys
Speaking as just a fan watching, he is one of the most enjoyable performers to listen to. His command and style is a pleasure to watch and listen to him.
Indarog his tone is organic and woodie. this one specifically sounds little dry and 'lack of humidity'. but its pleasing and bee like noise. you have to be on the 'noise chasing' mode for it. lol

All the best guitarists tend to be largely self taught!
Talent exceeds clone snobs!
@@jazzerson7087 let s all become self taught!😂
He did went into jazz school
Yeah it’s another brick in the wall
The best guitarist alive today.
.....satriani, vai, petrucci, plini, johnson etc etc... you re wrong man
In your list Petrucci is the only one that comes close. This guy is so far ahead of Satch I'm cringing for him.

Jerome S Satriani is a master at songwriting and dynamics, unlike Petrucci
There are many great guitarists but i think guthrie is the best cuz he is literally calculate every lil note he plays
It is one thing to be able to play these licks and phrases technically, but to be able to improvise them and string them together so seamlessly is truly superhuman.
That must be so enjoyable to play like that!

Guthrie just wins, i mean hes got everything, technique,phrasing, melody and awesome guitar faces. Thanks Guthrie!

A musician that comes along once in a lifetime
Irrefutable proof that you can shred with feeling.
Guthrie NEVER shreds without first THINKING about what he's ABOUT to shred!! Unlike all other shredders!!!!
Exactly right. The absolute best (and possibly only) at seamlessly and tastefully incorporating arpeggios into his playing.
NEWMOON54 dont miss greg howe's debut album.melodic intelligent musical shredding.
NEWMOON54 unlike all other, are you kidding? Ever heard about Joe Satriani?
He"s better than Joe , he"s the Best ever

Now I understand why Clapton took to drink.

This comment laid me out 😆well done.

Word…I find him unreal.
Hands down the best 👌 True mastery
I always listen to this minimum twice
his face when he picks the first note is incredible!!!
He's like a fusion of Einstein and Jesus mixed in with a random cocaine addict. So brilliant
you described him pretty well!
Haha that's best description I've ever heard!

that is call deep knowledge of something + a lot of LSD
Hahaahaha.. lovely description!
This guy is just sick with it. Could just sit and listen to this all day. Great guitar. Thanks Guthrie. Beautiful stuff.
Wow. Not only is he incredible, he's so cool too.
simply can't get enough of this videos. this is pure greatness and I'm thankful to become witness.
simply one of the best guitarists of the last 10 years... surely the best new one..

I love the very first face he pulls, its as if the note he's laying is attached to his face, pulling it off as it resonates!
0:33 That lick, damn
this guy is just plain insane...

This is dangerously awesome.

he plays at the london guitar show when its on, which is annually, and he plays in his local every thursday in chelmsford... worth a trip, its amazing. great drumming too...
this is no longer guitar playing, it is atom splitting.
Hahahahaha what
They could harness the energy to power a small city.

That's so funny......and I know the feeling! :)

Just gonna wake up tomorrow and sell all my gear!!god...
Was thinking about extracting maple syrup from trees as a hobbie
A sore humbling feeling! :-)
you are lucky, mine just gone to the door and left
This guy just smokes! Damn. It would take me 10 human lifetimes playing 12 hours a day to do that. I'm not even sure that would do it.

"I hope I don't jizz my pants when I play."
0:05 - Oops, yeah there it is. On the first note again!
LMAO! you idiot...lol good one....;O)
LOLLLLLLLL
LMFAO am still laughing - funniest comment ever.
AHHAHAH his reaction hitting the first note is just hilarious
To be fair, i always jizz when he plays aswell.
Amazing display of technique with great musicality and soul, what could you ask more? he plays perfectly.
my favorite lick was from 0:00 to 2:45
Oh my god.. Awesome!
I love how Guthrie's mouth moves when he plays. He's appologizing to his guitar for completely raping the frets.
The bit leading up to that monster bend at 1:42 is insane. What a perfect set-up for that moment
0:45 and 1:16 Wow, didn't know you could play vibrato like that.
Check out Greg Howe
+Matt Gamby yeah man, so awesome. got that one from greg too
its called glissando whem u do it like that
Glissando vibrato is the proper musical term but who gives a sh*t anyway
George Lynch played vibrato like that because that's how he thought it was done. Funny that.
He's great, one of the masters of the hybrid pick technique
I think it's time for me to rethink my life goal
this guy is the fucking shit! I used to listen to all the shredders and got sick of it but this guy makes it what it should be!
My guitar will make a great paperweight.
Lol....fuck yeh....god that is so inspiring/ demotivating. I've only just started turning my amp up thinking my neighbors will be suitably impressed....now im going back to headphones for another year.

He knows how to shred with taste, and taste is really all you need to turn anything with anything into a masterpiece.

It's not the quantity, mate, it's what you do with them.
i cant put it in words but this guy is just such an awesome talent, really incredible!
More notes in one song than B.B. King has played in his whole life...:D
haha
One BB King note has more power and value than thousand funky blues notes.
When Guthrie can write a song...he might someday be on bbking level.
Yeah mate, without any melody or feeling. Dork
why people keep holding BB King so high? i get that you have to have respect for what he has acompished, but hes playing now a days suck to be honest
perfect, from the tone to the technique, its the definition of master guitar playing
*looks at guitar*
Sorry, I'll never be able to do that to you.
