@@marcwormjim if I have to sum it up in one word, I'd say it's his eloquence. It seems to me like Guthrie doesn't even play the guitar, he just plays music, the guitar happens to be the vessel under his command to reach certain musical expressions. He constantly keeps weaving one creative idea into another seamlessly. It's like everybody can talk, but there's only one Shakespeare who could put words together in a fashion that gave them immortal life. There are several points in this video that I could cite as examples of this eloquence of Guthrie.
Just saw Guthrie perform with Shez Raja at the 606 in London last night, easily my favourite guitarist in the world! Thanks for posting this video, what a brilliant night at Southend this must have been for all in attendance! 👍🏻
Guthrie Govan is like that sick funky jam you hear in your head all day at work, but when you finally get home and sit down to try and play it, you realize it's physically impossible to play... if you can even remember it at all.
@@EssexRecordingStudios I should add that the conversation is by two linguistic experts. Whose words have been formed over decades of conversation, reading and speaking. Mere mortals can appreciate the beautiful sound of the language, but we can't speak it so fluently! Lol

man, one of the things I love so much about Guthrie is his outrageous vocabulary. He hears Zak play a lick that reminds him of a Christmas song and jumps seamlessly into playing the full melody
Man, 22:58 to 23:18 is so beautiful. Sting wasn't lying when he said his great musical hero is Bach, that section sounds like some Bach influenced counter-point. These two are amazing and I hope the new Aristocrats album has some Zak Barret playing in it.
Fabulous! Zappa would have loved to have Guthrie in his band. An amazingly talented player of all styles and genres of music. Can't wait to see him play live again.
Agree and disagree - to talk about him as talented is like to talk about J.S. Bach or W.A. Mozart just as as talented. He as many others were/are so much more than just/only talented.
A lot of music lovers like to claim their favorite guitar slinger is the GOAT. I never step into this messy arena, partly because there has always been many very talented and inspiring contenders, in fact too many to name even just a few. But if I had to pick one myself, it would be Guthrie. The amount of sheer magic this wizard can produce, in so many styles, to me is unmatched. Long live King Guthrie !!
Well - he was already a wizard in the early 2000. As a passionate non musician music lover, I believe he did not change too much since his early days. Maybe a more competent person from the Essex Recording Studios can confirm or contradict (both very welcomed by me) my humble assessment. Guthrie the Blonde -> Guthrie the Gray -> Guthrie the White always a wizard, a true star !
Guthrie. God damn. There will never be anyone better. Seeing him back playing with the beast that is Zak Barrett was a treat we definitely didn't deserve, but did absolutely need. 🎶
@@davidderoux7552 He's definitely not as diverse in his forms of expression. Guthrie can play lines like Mancuso and 10 other legends including Holdsworth and Shawn Lane. No one will ever truly sound like those guys, but Guthrie is way more steeped in the vocabulary needed for every style of music, from traditional to avant garde.
There must be more credit for Zak at this point. He is just as genius as his counterpart. He, the saxophone player, has one major advantage: His instrument never sounds dull on a crappy recording mic. Or maybe it's the camera angle. The sax just sounds much better. I am melting away anyway listening to them. Thanks a ton!
And Guthrie, the guitar player, has several major advantage: He can play chords and rhythm, can squeeze out different sounds out of his instrument fith pickups selectors, pedals and fingers and never sounds like 90s porn music.
Let me rephrase. Calling him anything less than world-class would reflect on that person's ignorance. His technical abilities are a given and indisputable, what he does with them sets him worlds apart from the rest. (RIP Allen H. and Shawn L.)
A true master of guitar. Can't think of anyone who has the pure amount of control over the notes they play like Guthrie. Zak is an absolute joy to listen to as well, what an experience it must of been to witness this live!
I'd like to throw Allen Holdsworth into the mix as well-no idea where he exactly originated from. When discussing genius nationalism and/or tribalism seems to be completely moot and without merit.
29:35 The way he goes into those smooth chords at the end and then, spontaneously finishes the song with The Simpsons' "Gracie Films" outro jingle, is absolutely insane. That one moment encapsulates the absolute musical brilliance and joy in the man's playing. He can just randomly think of something and perfectly weave it into what he's doing. A whole another level.
(I think I) I know what you mean, but maybe "surpass" is not entirely the right word: Guthrie is actually perfectly able to put his extraordinary (if not stellar...) technical abiliities into the service of making inspired and „musical“ music. As there are so many technically brilliant players nowadays who just remain on that "technical" level and have a very hard time to become really musical (in the true sense of that word) players, I think Guthrie’s different quality is quite obvious here.
I can't listen to technical players. Seems they always focus on technique, and skip the musicianship. Guthrie (and Zak) are musicians 1st. Doesn't matter your taste. The music is what matters. This matters.
theres a concert of him in korea you can find here on youtube. On his song Ner Ner he busts out the slide. It's probably my favorite guthrie moment of all time. and that's saying a lot. go check it out.
He just hears a single one in his head before he replicates it perfectly. How is this wonderful creative imagination even humanly possible, what a player!
Guthrie is an absolute magician, a prodigy, whatever you want to call him. I've yet to see another guitarist who knows the instrument and all of its theory better than him. Thank you for posting!
I don't have to talk about Guthries single lines, because they literally speak for themselves, but good god, his comping is on some unheard-of level. And Zak Barrett, tremendous and soulful as always. Incredible complementation and musical feel. Thank you for making me both incredibly motivated and also wanting to throw my guitars out my window but hey, that's the fire, man. Thanks for the inspired and inspiring sounds!
@@EssexRecordingStudios I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in the left hand now for 2 months, can play but fingers are weak, going for a n EMG nerve test friday and doctor next wednesday, I tune a whole octave low anyways so I dont think I got it from playing guitar only....and my wrists are straight when I play: just found some exercises in the net: DEFINitely dont want an operation at this point!!!!

Ill ask the doc about the exercises and wont overdo them... phew just when I found my sound/sounds..., cheers anyway!🤔🤔
Guthrie just might be the most complete guitar player that ever touched the instrument. I really do love instrumental rock and follow the best guitar players but Guthrie, for sometime now, is my personal favourite. You feel that it really doesn't matter what you throw at him, he just nails it in the mos awesome way possible. Truly one of the greats.
Just the gods. The moment when at the end of the thing (29:30) Guthrie changed the chord to the major and everyone in the hall understood this and laughed with the musicians - this is priceless. Wave atmosphere. Magic music. Magic people. Thanks for sharing.
@@EssexRecordingStudios It was ok and I enjoyed the sound. But to be honest: there is a reason professional cameramen have a focuspuller. 😉 I fyou want to know how I got here, It is because I love Guthries musicianship.
Guthrie is an absolute pleasure to listen too. His vocabulary is beyond tasty and rich. The dude has endless options in his ability. He serves music as good as anyone whose ever contributed
12:20 ... That seemingly simple thing right there impress me more than that a gazillion notes on less than a nanoseconf... Pitch perfect and melodically pleasant! WOW!!
THAT is some of the best music I've ever heard. Period. God bless Guthrie and Zak - and all at Essex Recording Studios for sharing this wonderful, WONDERFUL session. WOW!! 🙏🙏🙏
The only definition I can think of for Guthrie is GENIUS, pure genius. He's so inspired and inspiring at the same time! IMO when he plays he'e in the flow all the time
Totally utterly completely flabbergasted.... What a musician. Tastewise I'm not too much into the Aristocrats, but what he displays here is pure magic.
With all the not music related madness, most countries/societies/humanity had to deal with, Mr. Gowan shines like a bright light of hope. He indeed seems to be like a fusion of all the giants that came before him, and I hope he will get the attention of a much wider and bigger audience, not just musicians. The Aristocrats are great, but any band that is in need of a studio and/or live Guitar player should try to book him or at least have him on top of their wish list. As the era of 1970 - 2010 were the years of Allan H. (RIP) the 2000-20xx should be declared the years of maestro GG.
Probably my favourite guitarist. Damn fine Sax playing too. I read it's good to transcribe sax players solos because they are better than most guitarists and it's single line stuff you can learn. Goddamn, Guthrie comes in sounding like horn player. What a player! He has always been one of a kind and tastefully melodic with any amount of facility available to him. Amazing.
To anyone who doesn't think Guthrie has that Soul should definitely listen to some of this responsive Rhythm playing here , he has such a completeness about his style , the Horn playing was off the charts

No doubt!
Like Rick Beato said last day on his channel, whe need more Guthrie on the medias! Genius!!!!
I saw that. Really glad I was able to capture some quality footage, and we all have to give major props to Zak Barrett

Wow!!!! Greasy. And wow!!
As a guitarist I'm very envious of how Zak Barrett can make a single note sound soo smooth.
Man, 22:58 to 23:18 is so beautiful. Sting wasn't lying when he said his great musical hero is Bach, that section sounds like some Bach influenced counter-point. These two are amazing and I hope the new Aristocrats album has some Zak Barret playing in it.
More evidence of Guthrie’s genius. He is the greatest.
It´s like sasquatch sightings
Thank god someone recorded this.
He was grumpy about it despite every woman in the place having their phones out recording. I'm glad Zak got this exposure. He deserves it
Very few people reach the playing ability to play what they are feeling. Guthrie has and its the best.
