Big thank you to peach guitars for doing this interview. A pleasure to watch and good interview technique. I like to learn the background, journey and motivation of guitar heroes I admire and what experience they can share. Keep it up, more interviews!
It's because they're playing so awfully clean, that's not everyone's taste ...I don't like it that much myself. And it proofs that when you take off all the edges you also take most excitement out of music. What these guys play is for nerds only, people who enjoy music and melody in a pretty technical, mathematical and theoretically elaborated sense.
@TheIceBreaker90 It's funny you mention Classical stuff, that's the other thing I find extremely boring nowadays, I'd answer these questions with 'mostly' ; ) Govan is no different, his old songs may have some wonderful melodies here and there but overall they're also too technical and boring for my taste ...often with rather unmusical transitions between the parts. In all kinds of videos he mentioned how important it is to play musical but in my opinion he practically never really does it himself. Have you seen that one video where Paul Gilbert tries to trade some simple Blues licks and Guthrie is going into his usual shredding mode right away without paying any attention to what the other was intending. In my opinion most of these Fusion people are more like highly skilled artisans who kinda forget that their art is actually meant to be music. I'd rather listen through 3 hours of Jimmy Nolen or Nile Rodgers than 15 minutes of Fusion or Classic, Jazz isn't much different, I often love it in older forms though, like Swing-Jazz or something, when it was not about the instrumentalists ego or being artsy for the sheer sake of it.
@TheIceBreaker90 The really strange thing about some Classical composers is that they were, despite their incredible musical abilities and knowledge, more like businessmen. I heard that Beethoven, for quite some time, didn't write out the piano parts for his works, so whoever wanted to perform it had to hire him personally. I liked a bit of Classical stuff but that was a long time ago, actually had some Beethoven on vinyl but now I'm just bored by almost everything that sounds somewhat Classical. The only thing I find more boring is movie score type of music ; ) As a young teen I loved the 'Classical with Rock drumming' approach, first came the incredibly cheesy Rondo Veneziano, who featured on German TV a lot in the 80s but then, thanks to my music class teacher, I discovered the real deal, that wonderful Dutch band Ekseption ...maybe I should listen to them again, haven't heard it in 25 years or so. I watched that new Steve Vai video, lots of people were complaining about the ridiculously pompous visuals ...but I guess without that I probably wouldn't have listened all the way through the song, I mean it was quite ok but actually, although it was just a week ago or so, I don't really remember any of it and I never got a feeling of wanting to hear more.

Acronym Prestos!!!!!!!
A million notes in three minutes. No feeling shit bored
Awesome, awesome, awesome demos and incredible playing. Now if someone would just show Tom how to properly shape his beard...
Guitars for the sub-genre "Low T shred"..for those who love elevator music and guitar solos that all sound the same and inspire afternoon naps.
Guitar is dying it's all so generic ..that lead tone is boring
