Amazing right hand control, seemingly effortless. IMO, Govan is to be admired not only for his musical prowess and dexterity, but also his willingness to educate. Only true masters have the self confidence to instruct others on how they do the magic they do.
Some people just don't know how gifted they are! When he says it's really not that difficult. I took some lessons from Paul Gilbert back before he was famous. I remember him saying to me, "It's just three notes moving up and down the neck". You can imagine the expression on my face when demonstrated 'how easy' it was! God bless their modest and humble souls.
This is really easy, no need for the babies. Just make sure you have have peanut butter on the spoon. Dragons are easy to get by when their mouths are stuck shut with peanut butter!
I'm a drummer and i very much enjoyed watching this, not only because of how incredible the guy is but i like how he calmly talks and tells you what's going on. What a tutorial! I do pick up a six string from time to time, this guy is awesome!
Some people think that 4 guys pushing buttons on a laptop is "art." You know of whom I speak .. Kraftwerk. I do NOT think of them as art at all. These people think that mastery of an instrument is pretentious. They prefer simpler sounds, like The Ramones. Don't misunderstand me, there's nothing at all wrong with The Ramones. But I couldn't listen to three-chord bands all day, no way. I need some wizardry too. I like listening to people like Mr. Govan.
I can play it myself. But guthrie would never compose melodies and use sweeping as good as jason does. Guthrie and Jason are my gods, but jason was better than guthrie because he was younger and mastered all guitar techniques before everyone then
Just 'cause you haven't heard of a "better" one (as terribly unsophisticated and subjective of a term "better" implies), doesn't mean he/she doesn't exist. Though in the public's eye, few have impressed me like Guthrie as well. In terms of musicality in the guitar world, I think of John Petrucci, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Paul Gilbert to name a few. Though, everyone plays so different, I could never say anyone of them is better than another. We can all shine!
this really fuckin hard i can only move my wrist this fast when i bash one out, maybe i could try watching porn while doing this technique, watch this space
+Jack Reilly its not that hard just relax and try to hit only two strings or less its called focus just keep workin on it and anyone who watches this will eventually get it down
For anyone who’s ever fallen back on that tired bromide, “those who can’t, teach.” need to watch Guthrie. Just an astonishing player and a great teacher.
@@hywel4605 Guthrie's not nearly well known enough as guys like Vai or Satriani. For a non-musician regular person like my mom for example, she barely remember who those two are but I'm pretty sure has no clue about Guthrie
The only guitar player whose sense of humour is so strong that he can make me laugh by playing something "funny" - he has such control - just incredible
who on earth can dislike this?😱Guthrie has travelled back in time from some 3000 A.D. to reveal to us his advance discoveries in music... He is a true legend!
..dang GV you make it look soo easy :D , caption for this video is "Do not try this is at home. these stunts are performed by hardcore professional" . best teacher i have seen (y)
iam watching his videos not even tryin to learn something. its just so relaxing to listenin to his voice. Please do some live book reading!!! that would be amazing
Guthrie is a true innovator. I thought new guitar techniques were "done" and that the goal was to be creative with what we have. Then I discovered this cat a few years ago.
This is a great lesson. Strumming is percussive/rhythmic already (even more so on acoustic guitar) and this gave me a path to move even more in that direction. Cheers!
I think personally and from experience of trying to get fast 16th note triplets to sound good, you really need to hone your general rhythm abilities to the point where you can implement that 32nd note burst without thinking about the rhythm or timing too much, because otherwise everytime you anticipate the burst you will lock up slightly. It needs to be as automatic as walking
He is a genius, the most eclectic I know, dominates many styles with definition, I would like to come to Brazil to play bossa nova, samba, swing would break
"Some people think it's triplets, but it's one more innit?" Sounds oddly like... "Well why don't you make the ten the loudest it goes and not have the eleven all together?......Because this one goes to eleven, it's one more innit?" So he likes Spinal Tap too for all you out there trying to find a fault in him and are coming up empty, dude has good taste is movies
René Schermer Guthrie Govan on Allan Holdsworth: "Allan has his own planet - he's really taken everything that's unique about himself and exaggerated it, to the point where he's playing scales that he's invented working over chords that he's invented. Allan's world is very hard to adapt to any other music - he's like this self-contained musical universe. There are a handful of people in the world now who are doing passable imitations of what Allan was doing 30 years ago. And it's obviously taken years to do it, and they just sound like Allan clones: I don't see the point. There are other players where it's easier to borrow some of the things that you've seen them do, and say: that player has shown me the way. For instance, Eric Johnson made me realise that it's okay to try and use this sound and play that kind of chord voicing. And that stuff is maybe easier to adapt into your playing. But Allan...
when he goes really fast his right hand position seems to change drastically! any ideas how/why? May it be time for Troy Grady to start looking at strumming technique?
"it's not that dificult if... you're me"
The kind of attitude that makes you never get better lol
I lol'ed
Just have the right amount of jerks a day
you should be able to play it by now
I made this comment 1k likes haha
Best advice given to any musician "Find one tempo and increase the number of repetitions you can do before you lose concentration."
@@ethereal2706 was this a text to you ex?
Yeah that hits on a different level, at least for where I am currently with the guitar and understanding music.
I can imagine Guthrie wearing a sorcerer's robe
dude my fav youtube comment of this year XD :'D Rofl damn....lol
I've always imagined the Rincewind the Wizzard character from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series looking like Guthrie.
watch the music video of rockall by the young punx
yeeaah
Rick wakeman did.

Opening to the 20th Century Fox theme at 3:10 anyone?
HAHAHAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I PISSED MYSELF HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It's intentional
At 4:11, he continues to play exactly that
ruclips.net/video/TuO3sKCcZbE/видео.html
Ya now I can hear it 😅
I just realized Guthrie Govan's initials is GG.
I wonder if it's relevant.
GG alin?
Chuck Norros
Great Guitarist.
+blastcombatX Guitar GOD
+blastcombatX and there's bryan beller (BB) and marco minnemann (MM)
His control is staggering, he's totally at one with the guitar.

+HUBA BUBA Not true, studies have shown that there is some nature, it's not all nurture.
Then try learning to be as good of a song writer as Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, or Frederick Chopin.
What the funk..
funk off or ill slap your bass
"It's not that difficult...." - Guthrie, 2014
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
He's such an amazing teacher.
His pick might catch fire someday
Haahahahaa
ever heard of the game frets on fire?
😂🎸🔥
He actually replaces them frequently. They say it takes him about a week to burn through his collection.
It's simple, you only have to fight 3 dragons blindfolded with a wooden spoon while protecting 10 paralyzed babies at the same time.
This is really easy, no need for the babies. Just make sure you have have peanut butter on the spoon. Dragons are easy to get by when their mouths are stuck shut with peanut butter!
Take into account the bad drop rate. You might have to do this a few times.
3:10 haha, it sounds like 20th century fox :D
Yeah, I bet he was thinking it too!
Yeah, it was definitely on purpose :)
Of course it was on purpose, he always does that
Is it bad that I thought of the Doors song with that same title?
Matt Podjeski I can actually only think of the doors song, what else is this phrase supposed to mean?
I'm a drummer and i very much enjoyed watching this, not only because of how incredible the guy is but i like how he calmly talks and tells you what's going on. What a tutorial! I do pick up a six string from time to time, this guy is awesome!
"It's one more, innit?"
I love this guy so much!
I think it's 11/4 time signature!
I am absolutely amazed that anyone could press the "vote down" button when confronted with an amazing ability like Guthrie's.
Brett Garsed why I guess for some it's too much :-) You're allright as well by the way ;-)
Some people think that 4 guys pushing buttons on a laptop is "art." You know of whom I speak .. Kraftwerk. I do NOT think of them as art at all.

Holy shit it's Brett Garsed!!
2:03 greatest Spinal Tap micro-reference ever.
:D
"It's one more..."
Hm may not be a reference
"...innit?"
Yep that's a reference
Haha I'm glad someone else caught that.
the funk is strong with young Govan
Anyway must say I've never heard a better guitarist than Guthrie.
one name : Jason Becker
Saucisse Prod Guthrie could easily play Jason Becker stuff!
I can play it myself. But guthrie would never compose melodies and use sweeping as good as jason does. Guthrie and Jason are my gods, but jason was better than guthrie because he was younger and mastered all guitar techniques before everyone then

BooBobly He does have an amazing ear, so it's really no surprise! Still a great accomplishment and nonetheless, he rocks!
this really fuckin hard i can only move my wrist this fast when i bash one out, maybe i could try watching porn while doing this technique, watch this space

FAPMASTER
+Jack Reilly its not that hard just relax and try to hit only two strings or less its called focus just keep workin on it and anyone who watches this will eventually get it down
Yo this comment weird af
How did I miss this?? We want more bedroom guitar lessons, these are the best!
Everytime i pick my guitar and watch a Guthrie lesson, I just hide the thing away and cry myself to sleep.
I go to the corner with my blankie and just shake.
For anyone who’s ever fallen back on that tired bromide, “those who can’t, teach.” need to watch Guthrie. Just an astonishing player and a great teacher.
I had no idea who Guthrie was until today, but im so glad i found him because he is one of the best players ive ever heard
where are you from, the moon?
Listen to his solos on Regret#9 and Drive Home. Wonderful.

I am SO glad Steven Wilson got ahold of this guy.
Love the spinal tap reference 'it's one more innit?'
I just learned about Govans existance and I think he is something special in the brotherhood of guitarists.
"Let's do some normal playing with the pick"
I keep coming back to this video when I wanna hear some great sounding crazy fast strumming.
3:11 20th Century Fox? xD
Agreed. :L
..dang GV you make it look soo easy :D , caption for this video is "Do not try this is at home. these stunts are performed by hardcore professional" . best teacher i have seen (y)
i have no idea why i was laughing when i watched this video.he is too amazing -__-
haaaa. i laughed the entire time. and thought i was the only one.
Dude, all I do is laugh when I see this guy. He's just so amazing.
iam watching his videos not even tryin to learn something. its just so relaxing to listenin to his voice. Please do some live book reading!!! that would be amazing
I am a drummer, but I'm really enjoying this.
Fookin' fast right hand, it's a blur during those 32nd notes. Love to hear him play some distorted thrashy stuff with that kind of speed.
This dude and les claypool would make the gnarliest fucking band.
You are the most understated funny, cool guy on the tube dude. Love your vids
Guthrie i always enjoy your tutorials, your clear and always portray your lessons over extremely well. Thanks man
Lars Ulrich cant do this with his snare drum
+Murat Seyhan He would have to find it first
Murat Seyhan you mean his trash can
Got stolen through Napster
by who? :)
the ghost of nick menza
For the record it's been 10 years since this video and I still can't do this.
I Love this Guy. He is a Freakshow on Guitar. Just Phenomenal.
Outstanding lesson! Thank you for taking the time to explain this and break it down by providing a useful exercise. Kudos!!
very nice approach and well explained.
I can't even pick as fast as he strums
He is the best player ive ever seen.
don't try this with sweaty fingers. my pick is now in another dimension :(
Guthrie is a true innovator. I thought new guitar techniques were "done" and that the goal was to be creative with what we have. Then I discovered this cat a few years ago.
Why on earth do I love EVERYTHING Guthrie Govan does?
God Guthrie Govan, is there anything he CAN NOT do??? Every clip of his video is so incredible
look at the flick of the wrist
Gowan is such a great teacher and player!
Guthrie is so endearing. What an awesome human.
that playing at 4:12 as good as anything - we need that in a hit song!
great prof. guthrie !
Stupendous!
definitely the best guitarist I saw
And I saw a lot
Superb, fabulous and inspirational - true wizard!
That’s much more than lots of practice-that’s a gift.
This is a great lesson. Strumming is percussive/rhythmic already (even more so on acoustic guitar) and this gave me a path to move even more in that direction. Cheers!
That's a fucking machine.. it sounds so equal and machine like 😲
I think personally and from experience of trying to get fast 16th note triplets to sound good, you really need to hone your general rhythm abilities to the point where you can implement that 32nd note burst without thinking about the rhythm or timing too much, because otherwise everytime you anticipate the burst you will lock up slightly.

so damn true
Hammer Super Gitarist! Einfach Klasse!
Cheerrrsss!! i was looking for a tutorial for this trick since a long time ! Thank u
Thank you so much, im searching for Al di meola strumming technique, and this sounds alike
Guthrie Govan is a cyborg created by a race of super-intelligent guitar-like creatures from another dimension.
Awesome playing! Practice makes perfect!
Maestro.....❤️
He is a genius, the most eclectic I know, dominates many styles with definition, I would like to come to Brazil to play bossa nova, samba, swing would break
"it's not THAT difficult if...... you're me!"
20th century fox, tattarataaaa ta ta taa tattarataaaa at 3:10
thats exactly what i thought haha
The ingredient I need to do that is 6 redbulls 😜
+Torn Horizon hahaha LOL
+Torn Horizon alright, make a video of you pounding 6 redbulls and then playing just like guthrie *lmao*...
+Tyler Saunders yeah never..... i would blow up
Torn Horizon nope just a cup of coffee
hold my beer
I've been practicing this for at least ten minutes and I still can't do it. Damn guitar.
please update
Try for a few months every day for at least half hour. Then you will start to get it.
Guthrie is just amazing
"Some people think it's triplets, but it's one more innit?"
Sounds oddly like...
"Well why don't you make the ten the loudest it goes and not have the eleven all together?......Because this one goes to eleven, it's one more innit?"
So he likes Spinal Tap too for all you out there trying to find a fault in him and are coming up empty, dude has good taste is movies
Great job!
4:37 love that rhythm!!!
Great funk techniques.
UNBELIEVABLE!!👏👏👏👏👏
yes form 2007 to till now i am struggling with this strumming lesson 🙏🏻
a great lesson from an epic man, thanks.
Best guitarplayer in this solarsystem, he's incredible.
+René Schermer You should see the guy in the next solarsystem !! cept its a robot so thats cheating
+Jonathon Ashcraft How much more a man can take, Jonathan?
Allan Holdsworth cough Cough...
Allan Holdsworth is extreme good in one area and that's it. Guthrie Govan can play every style at the highest level.

Thanks so so so much, you saved me !
Awesome technique! Love watching him! \|/
Very interesting. I always thought the articulation for alternate picking came from the index and thumb.
That guy is incredible
Not human… in the best way possible ❤️
my mouth has never opened wider :-0 ... my god
Camera can't even handle his normal strumming, let alone super-human God mode strumming.
Guthrie's playing never fails to impress me
He makes it look easy.
He really should be much better known. incredible talent and nice guy. saw him several times with asia.
"Some people think it's triplets. It's not. It's one more, isn't it?"
when he goes really fast his right hand position seems to change drastically! any ideas how/why? May it be time for Troy Grady to start looking at strumming technique?
I think his hand moves just a little to keep the muting consistent. That's what it looks like anyway.
Hipster Guthrie. "Shred lessons are too mainstream. Funk strumming is the new cool!"
that is amazing his RH movement is so fast it's blurred
He's a wizard, Harry!
one word - insane!
