Every time I see Guthrie play, I just want to yell “Don’t hold back!!” Seriously, he’s on such another level and is the most complete guitarists I’ve ever heard. I cannot understand why he doesn’t have more recorded works/albums; everything from him is a treat, but I feel like while he still has the chops the world is missing out on a lack of releases.
Sherman Kyle. I agree.I wish he would go full out especially at guitar jams with other top players. He deliberately holds back for fear of humiliating anyone.Ask Steve Vai😀
Guthrie's skill is terrifying. He's so good at explaining technical things, I can imagine him being a wonderful one on one instructor too. Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed it! Kudos to the translator too for being so fast!
I actually bought a book he helped write on guitar playing. He is an incredible teacher, he has metaphors for days that really help understand how to play. He’s all around brilliant
Seriously how can anyone who lies guitar give thumbs down, this guy is probably the most accomplished guitarist on the planet , and have met Guthrie a few times a really nice and humble guy, great to talk to and just has a love of music..
I was going to say this guy is one of the most talented musicians in any genre. Except that he plays every genre. Equal amazement in every one. And so generous with his talent, too.
As a guy who’s done a lot of traveling in places where I don’t speak the language, I’d say that a lot of personality comes across with tone of voice and facial expressions. I suspect Guthrie’s humble, relaxed, enthusiastic spirit comes through just fine.
You mean nobody you've ever seen. There are billions of people. Not everyone who's great uploads to the internet. For all you know the dude down the street might be better. I doubt it but celebrity worship is laughably stupid.
@@drewjohnson4794 nope guthrie is on another level, there is a lot of good artist out there, but only 1 of 1.000.000 may become a virtuoso like guthrie
@@biblybims9868 Agree 100% - Guthrie is on some-next-level . . . (few) will ever reach. When I think about guitarists on: "Another Stratosphere" - I think about: Allan Holdsworth, Guthrie, Tommy Emmanuel, and Al DiMeola (among my personal favorites). I also love: Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Lifeson, Steve Howe, Robin Trower, David Gilmour, Carlos Santana & SRV. So many to draw inspiration from.
Any and every one of these legends, that "something" is squeeze as much different exercises out of every concept. If you can alternative pick in 4s, 5s, 6s, 8s there's nothing stopping you from practicing each and every rythmic pattern.. These kind of people actually go ahead and do it, and have done so for years and years.. Check out drumming paradiddles, you can translate them to up/down strokes, that's at least a couple of years worth of "training" material
@@notauniquehandle you’re right on there, had a guitar instructor turn me on to rhythms for guitar. Think of it this way, there are 2 different strokes, up and down. Think of 4/4 time and there are 4 beats. There are 2^4 different strumming patterns, 16 patterns. We’ll you can subdivide to 8th notes, and now 2^8 patterns, or 256 patterns. You can subdivide to triplets and 16th notes and C the list just gets larger. My guitar instructor when working through some of the 8th note patterns then told me you start mixing and matching the patterns each measure to get build longer patterns or just have a fluid changing rhythm that is always in time and in the pocket. Powerful stuff
BEHOLD THE ENCHANTING WIZARD OF RHYTHM (as prophecized by Beck Hansen on "Hotwax")! My God. This is a funk guitar Masterclass. Listen to his "West Coast Grooves" album y'all. It's one of the most tasteful works of instrumental guitar ever recorded. More like GOATherie? 🐐 😎
@@Despond of course there will be someone better than him at each genre but from what I've seen handles himself really well all genres he plays. Not many other players are a jack of all trades like Guthrie
@@saidhruv7018 absolutely, Guthrie is the star all rounder for sure. I can think of many who can outplay him in their chosen niche, but this guy could roll with any of them comfortably
@@skippityblippity8656 care to name names? cory's quite unparalleled in eking out his own sound and feel to make it work in everything he's been in - hard to image many individuals better than a guitarist so reknowned for playing himself
Taking for granted that Govan is the ultimate guitar God, he absolutely doesn’t sound funky at all. The sound is less than fat, and he’s playing the riffs too fast, without that groove that makes you feel like you can’t stop dancing. For those who haven’t yet, just listen to Nile Rodgers here... ruclips.net/video/HvDiD_vbwpg/видео.html
I think he might just be that dude ? I know I'm going to catch a lot of greif for saying this but I don't know of anyone that can hang with him, I watched him onstage with Vai, and Satch, and to me, he made them sound like amateurs,(AND THAT'S SAYING A LITTLE MORE THAN A MOUTHFUL WHEN YOUR TALKING ABOUT THOSE GUYS). I really don't know who is in the same league as him at the moment.
listen to kirk fletcher for someone who can play r&b/funk with soul! govan has the techique down but not quite the feel... sounds more like a james valentine than a davil williams u know? (all credit to govan still, he's a model musician and person, unparalleled vituoso, etc.)
How is he allowed to be one of the best rhythm and one of the greatest lead players of all time ? What an amazing player.
I think the two skills go "hand in hand" ;)
Lead and rhythm are not separate things!!
@@massacrationable In a way, they are
@@massacrationable oh please, stop showing us how wise you are. You goddamn know what the hell he means by "rhythm" and "lead"
Well, he started playing guitar at the age of three, for once.
I always get a sense that Guthrie is way better than he would have us believe....
Hes prob spent 3 decades playing and has a doctorate in music
Hes not just some dude that plays around
Hes a technician
He (Guthrie) said that you always need to have an extra gear that you'll probably never need to use but you have it there just in case
@@tomasvitale5366 thats standard for musicians
Stuff breaks and such
@@TANMAN47TANMAN that's true, but he was referring to the level of technique to play
@@tomasvitale5366 yeah
Slides and such
Lets take a moment to address how good the translator is.its so cool of him to translate the rhythms correctly with such enthusiasm.
I only listened to the translator thats how good he was. Guthrie Who?
ruclips.net/video/OYrOOjOAMw4/видео.html
Guthrie is an phenomenal player
@@burger698 haha! translator also understands what guthrie is explaining
His translation is poor actually
i think he translated parliament funkadelic to just funk
4:54 he heard it in the background, and you can feel how much he wanted to play it !
Nobody has that ringtone anymore. People are just trying to get him to play it and it got old.
what is it?
Guthrie Govan is unbelievable, he has taken Guitar playing to another level.
Every time I see Guthrie play, I just want to yell “Don’t hold back!!”

You would learn more in a day,one on one with GG,than you would in 5-10 years of studying on your own👍

Thinking much of Guthrie's personality is being lost in translation to the crowd? Such a good guy.
Yeah, his humor lands a lot better with British and American audiences.
As a guy who’s done a lot of traveling in places where I don’t speak the language, I’d say that a lot of personality comes across with tone of voice and facial expressions. I suspect Guthrie’s humble, relaxed, enthusiastic spirit comes through just fine.
In my mind he's the best guitarist in the world.
I have not seen anyone that can play most any style of guitar as Guthrie. The guy is simply amazing!
No one ever comes close. He is THE man.
I appreciate him saying “that’s not what people do when playing funk, that’s just showing off”. Also, dig that pick up the pieces demo at the end.
Cool...nice moment with guthrie govan
Thx for video
Nobody is at that level of mastery for so many genres! Except HIM!
EXACTLY I’ve been preaching that for years

Tuesday night, G.C. What a typically great transfer of technique.
What a great teacher.
Wicked right hand. Sounding great GG.
We have guitar gods literally everywhere, hundreds of them. But Guthrie is just another guitarist... from another Planet that is.
Great video, thanks!
im not here for lesson, im here to watch him play
最高ー😍！！
えぐいカッティング！！
身体動いてしまいます🤗！！
Next level human brain working on all cylinders - legend !
I wonder how many of the top shredders can play funky or be so eccletic as Guthrie?
This guy inspires me to play better… just incredible
is there any genre that Guthrie can't play? this dude can play almost anything, such a versatile player.
Love this man.
Nice breakdown.
Thank you.
He's too good for his own good. I love him, of course.
pick up the pieces at the end... LOVELY!!!
5:40 - 7:20 it started with a lesson and ended it in godmode. Holy damn.
Sooo BRILLANT !!!
The Poodle's Plums Funk! - Guthrie Govan - a great player AND a great teacher.
No one can ever beat Guthrie Govan
Superman can...
That tremelo strumming sounds really cool
He is a Freak-Show. G.G. is so Good, - it's Scary. I have learned so much, from watching all his instructional videos. oNe LovE from NYC.
yeah it's rare for someone to be THAT good, and yet be able to explain things so well.

As good as it gets, the total package. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll get back to the Montrose live 74 thing I was listening to.

Why'd you stop?

Nice catch
Foot tapping on the loo. 😊
wow
Was waiting for the Prince riffs...
Есть в комментах те, для кого переводили?)
What is the famous funky tune at the end. Great song but I can't think of the name?
Funk is the only thing I can do naturally.... It’s all about catching the “&” after the third beat.
At 4.53, he didn’t hear the Nokia ring tone theme on the passing ice cream van. He usually reproduces these on the spot.
Is there any thing that guthrie can not do.. !??.. he is mastering any style, genre, technic, any scales.. even gypsy jazz
Play one of them at a master level? Every style he can play there's someone who's mastered it better.

Doesn't look like 1993
He wasn't playing Suhr guitars back then
