    Guthrie Govan is the Merlin of guitar. His guitar is an extension of his higher self. Highly intelligent and artculate as well.

      @SixStringHarmonies 11 лет назад +9

      .....and above all else: Humble. A most redeeming quality which so many feign or ignore entirely.
      Born to play. Born to teach. Govan is a model of dedication to the art, the skill, and the passion necessary to truly earn the title of virtuoso.

      do you know that Guthrie is actually an arab? He was born in Teheran as Gufri Gaffar. Go look at his Wikipedia page. Those facial hairs may have covered it, but if you look closely, Guthrie's facial features are very arabian.

    He talks about the unemotional feel of shredding right before he ignotes his fretboard on fire with the friction of his fingers shredding. He can play/do anything. He once beat Forrest Gump at ping pong using nothing but a 1mm pick.

  • @archinsoni1254

    Guthrie maybe the fastest shredder who knows all the chords and modes.
    But he definitely is the greatest rhythmic player.
    His groupings
    Subdivisions
    Rests
    His percussion
    And everything rythmic is absolutely perfect.
    Guthrie is the greatest rhythmic player in the world.
    And that makes him the greatest player in the world.

    His terminology is so amazing haha. Guthrie is the type of guitar virtuoso that will shame you in a musical shred off then spend the next 2 hours explaining to you why it was necessary to put you in your place and how he was able to summon such techniques and genius. In Eb minor 7 add 11.

  • @sideshowlol
    @sideshowlol 10 лет назад +11

    Thank goodness for Guthrie's clarity of thought. Communication is an art I do not often associate with top class players. I could listen to Guthrie's clear explanations all day. And it's refreshing to hear him say when he's not sure about something rather than pretend otherwise.
    It was a joy to see him perform with Mr. Wilson on the Raven tour and I am very much looking forward to watching and hearing him play again in a month or so on Wilson's H.C.E. tour. If you haven't listened to his gorgeous emotive playing on Drive Home then do check it out.

    I've been playing for 40 yrs and I've came across countless teachers to some degree or another, and I've never actually "heard" what any one of them was trying to convey to me, until now! Guthrie Govan you have explained in such a way that I "get it" 100%, and that to me is nothing less than amazing! You, my friend, are God's gift to players everywhere! You have re-excited me to a degree I haven't been in quite a while! A sincere thank you seems to pale in comparison to the true extent of my true gratitude.

    Relates to the (all too familiar) questions, following with, "What you may be doing wrong". He then leads into ground up solutions broken down into concepts based on levels of proficiency, and finally punctuates the lesson with elegant summations.
    Not sure what more anyone could want.
    There is a heap of sage advice here. Thank you very much for all of this.
    My personal favorite was, " It's where you put the notes, not where the notes are."

Guthrie Govan is one player that's really captured my attention... he just seems to have it 'all together'. He has an endless array of tones... feels... chops... and ties it all together in a very musical way. He's a very human type player... very organic in his approach if you know what I mean?

Only once in life time comes along a virtuoso such as yourself, that really understands his own limits and strives to exceed them in every performance. Our hats are off to you my friend. Take a bow, you are due that many times over. Keep on doing your own thing and staying true to your own ideas, and we await you next great moment!

  • @HoldsworthLaneGovan
    @HoldsworthLaneGovan 9 лет назад +4

    I love how Guthrie Govan plays a lot of different styles, technical stuff, and improvises on a level far higher than many shredders are capable. Yet, BLUES guitar is what he loves and considers himself as first. Unlike most modern technical guitar players these days who often underestimate blues guitar for being "technically simple", Govan would rave about BB King, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, SRV, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Gambale and Yngwie Malmsteen equally. That's one of the main differences between guys like Govan/Hutchings and other modern shred players nowadays.

I have just about enough musical knowledge to follow what he is explaining and he does have the ability to break down, explain and simplify some difficult concepts, but that said, will I never be able to execute them at any sort of proficiency ?, I doubt very much !. I had the good fortune to watch him at Music Live around 2009 and he signed a copy of Erotic Cakes for me. Came across as a really humble, nice and patient guy, as he does in many of these type of videos.

      I'm thinking the same thing. Possible ET. Guthrie is the best and by far. I read a comment on a different video from a guy who went to high school with him, said Guthrie was always a master at guitar lol

    Guthrie is so amazing! By far the best fusion progressive player out there right now. His understanding of the theory of music is awesome. One thing that I teach is knowing the fret board. know every note on it. It helps with the shaping of runs.

    30:28 Did Guthrie Govan just say he can't do something on the guitar? How humbling, I guess I shouldn't give up just yet.

    There is something very reassuring about Guthrie's way of teaching. His approach is musical rather than technical, and he never makes you feel inadequate as a guitar player.

  • @123jozef

    Notice how much he cares about the "listeners" ear not being annoyed. There's something to that. We often play what WE think is cool but never stop to consider our audience, whether they can actually hear it or not..... If you were playing for accomplished musicians it would matter a hell of a lot more than a drunk and high audience.... but I think we get the point. Don't just consider what YOU think is cool. That flat 5 became extremely popular through EVH, and Guthrie is 100% correct:: It is not a not to resolve on or consider as an actual part of the scale.(quote) .."I'ts kind of the worst note in the world, and if you land on that, you're hurting people, really, really jarring note, use it in context as an ornament, it's not considered to be a 'melodic note' in its own right" ~ I"ve never heard a guitarist talk of the flatted fifth in a blues scale in such a careful way as far as its usage is concerned. Just listening to this guy talk is instruction enough let alone hearing him play..... amazing

      The problem is that Guthrie likes to use his thumb for plucking to get a Wes Montgomery sort of vibe.

  • @MrArchie800

    It’s nice to hear someone explain things in terms of feel and result rather than traditional theory (something that was positively discouraged in my day as being a lazy shortcut).
    I’m a pretty good jazz keyboard player but ‘playing outside’ somewhat baffled me until someone explained in similar terms i.e. you don’t actually need to learn new scales but just use your existing scales in a relative position, and each chord has a number of ‘go to’ relative positions depending on the sound you want to achieve. Maybe it’s a shortcut but it works!

    Everything Govan teaches makes absolute sense. I hate arpeggio player because it all sounds the same and the search for speed seems so mundane and vulgar. Govan knows the difference between elegance from mundane. I appreciate his devotion to the instrument and awareness of the difference between fast playing and fliperama repetition. (fliperama is a 70's reference to the repetitive motion of a pinball machine).
