I love how Guthrie held back for 2 & 1/2 bars before starting his solo spot to let the rhythm section establish their grove again and let the listener take a breath. Little things like that are what make me love his musicality.

+Please permit me to speak oh great one: What do we have here? A world class musician, and musician critic? Keep living your miserable monotone life and avoid spewing your sore loser venom on people greater than you.
Everybody was great , but they put Guthrie to improvise in all those chords changes while everybody improvised in riff and I have to say (and that's why he's my favorite guitar player ) he handle like no other would , what amazing ears he have , just top of the top .
Malik nobody improvised in that section of the song , and yes , there a big difference in each one of them , nobody played the same , but extra points to Guthrie that improvised in all those chords and you need to know harmony to improvise in that part , you cannot improvise in that section using one scale , you can use arpeggios , but that chord progression is chords borrowed from different scales so you need to use different scales in most of them .
Malik actually chord changes mean a lot, a great example are gypsy jazz musicians who play arpeggios and give accent on notes which make that chords while improvising and playing, otherwise it would sound dissonant. Melody needs to follow harmony and rhythm.
@@satinrules Well, in Prog Magazine he was voted 4th. The best guitarist of 2020 was voted JP. In 2019 he was also 1st place. But what really matters is just your opinion :)))
@@davidderoux7552 funny this is, good point you're trying to make but really thats your explanation? I think his opinion makes more sense than a guitar magazine ratings. Those are mere popularity contest ratings. Please do check out Guthrie's works lately who knows maybe you'll also be in awe, just like the rest of us :)
@@gothamguitarist so, in your opinion, Govan is the only good guitar player out there. The rest are unskilled, right? Where the hell did you come from because you're so smart?
I was on the bill with Guthrie once in 2010....he sat in front of me while i soundchecked.....hardest gig of my career...that soundcheck was!.he is terrifying and also a lovely guy and ridiculously humble for his level of ability and talent....a true inspiration to any guitarist :)
They are all incredible players...and then there's Guthrie. Jesus. He's the new Humbler, if you ask me. Most of the other players grew up on the neo-classical stuff, and it shows. He's got dynamics and just enough gain so you can tell it's still a guitar. The others, as amazing as they are, all have the same tone to me. Completely compressed and grindy. Guthrie is always spot on with his tone. You can also tell that Guthrie is a jazzer at heart. He knows how to wring out as much musicality from pentatonic scales and blues scales using substitutions (e.g., Em and Bm pentatonic over F# Phrygian) as you can. Without being Coltrane. He's that good. It's that big pentatonic secret you stumble upon as you play, but only if you're rooted in the blues first. The modern generation of shredders didn't really come from the blues. There's a big contrast in approach between him and virtually anyone else playing today. Just astonishing.
I was immediately going to come comment on this asking how you were allowed to upload it... then I realized this is the Dreamcatcher Events account, lol. This week was one of the highlights of my life and watching all of these guys night after night was a real treat. Got to meet nearly all of these guys at the bar upstairs and even hung out with Guthrie into the wee hours of the morning on Thursday night. Thanks again for helping to make this happen! Probably won't make it this year, but perhaps if there is another one the following year :)
Smarty The Pants: personally I liked Andy James opening with a rip blazing solo. Obviously they are all amazing players but after seeing Shawn Lane..even Guthrie has said there will never, ever be another like Shawn. I consider the whole idea that we are comparing them to be rather subjective..
Nobody among them feels threatened, it is not a competition, it's a jam, basically an opportunity to learn from others. That is the real musician attitude
MrNoxxis The event Guthrie did with Vai and Satriani also wasn't a competition, but you could tell Vai was getting a quite unnerved and threatened by Guthrie's playing. Not the attitude that they should have, I agree, but it doesn't stop some falling to non-existent pressure.
@@tomwilliams8591You are correct sir, Guthrie was outstanding at that G3 and Satch and Vai both knew it... But notice here - Guthrie is interested and paying attention to every soloist, no-one else does during. But when Guthrie plays EVERYONE IS LOOK :D
Tosin is a creative genius when it comes to writing and composing music but even he admits to being bad at improvising solos. Someone like Guthrie on the other hand is notorious for his ability to do exactly that. Either way it’s a stage full of talent, that’s for damn sure
We are all gettin my better! Tosin sounds great I think he just needs to work on not shredding so much and playing with the track. We all know he can shred. I saw an interview where he talked about how he kind of ignored vibrato and like the blues growing up and and now he’s trying to focus more on that. Tosin is the man!
I want everyone to observerve Manginis smile and small jump at 7:47 when he and Guthrie improvised those syncopated notes together on the spot. Absolutely fucking brilliant. They obviously found a musical connection, which is something of Guthries speciality; And, may I add, part of why the Aristocrats are so fantastic. They actually PLAY together. Speaking through their respective instruments like were they voices. Which they are.... Speaking and playing. I will hopefully meet Guthrie again at Freak Guitar Camp, where I met him back in 2010. Truly brilliant to be in the presence of such a man. Socially shy and modest to a fault.. Come to think of it, I should really try to find videos of that somewhere on some hard drive.
The only guitarists I know that when soloing somehow never run out of ideas, possess their own language that take you somewhere others simply cannot get their minds to go. The streams of continuous brilliace switching chord changes like swallows seamlessly glide change of direction in air, gibbons fly through trees at speeds cars get pulled over and impounded, or dolphins shimmy on by like its not water. Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, Bryan Baker, Eef Alber's, Sylvan Luc and Guthrie Govan indeed are top tier. Most others all have a stick then go and fingertap in predictable commonality
@@johndkastel7972 If you're talking about improvising, which I take from your comment you are, then I agree. Guthrie Govan just flows in a seemingly unpredictable way. I am sure if I sat down and analysed his licks, I'll bet that he actually does do a lot of particular finger movements that are his favourites, but the way he ties it together is incredibly impressive, and of course he has the most amazing dexterity I have ever seen in guitarist. But when it comes to composing, melody, riffs, tone etc. etc. it's hard to say Guthrie is better than any of the other great players out there. Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, and Govan?? Who's written the best music, inspired the most guitarists, achieved the best tones??
"OMG, the dude on the far left doesn't even know the chords...look at him looking around, trying to figure the song out....his headstock isn't even a little bit pointy - can't wait for some plodding pentatonic shapes from him....epic fail going to ignite any second now.....this is worse than I thought - don't think he even realises it's his turn..............HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, MY FACE IS MELTING!!"
All of these guys are world class players, cream of the crop. But I've never seen anyone handle the instrument like Guthrie. Complete and total control and unbridled sophistication.
Atleast i cn pick all his stuff from beginin til end but man tosin abasi stuff its damn dificult thing lot of eight finger tapping n wierd chord next guitarist john petruci no one on the planet has evr had long time memory as him,u cn check out the time changes too man
are you for real?...waaw,the rest are just ordinary guitar players?...remarcable how Gutrie was looking at Andy James when he played.I don't think Govan can handle soloing at that main rhythm,certainly not like Andy or John. I think that all of them are fantastic guitarists and there isn't such thing like the best player between them.
Guthrie is like a 60 year loving relationship with the most wonderful woman on Earth and the rest of them are crudely drawn boobies on a 6th graders desk
Perfect tritone my ass, it actually got stuck when the rhythmic part of the metal started:))) I think if Govan drops his guitar, you'll applaud him all day😂😂😂
I see everyone here "Guthrieeeeee" so I watched until Guthrie played and man the comments do not lie. This guys improvised like its an old backing track of his lol
Everyone else was just noodling around with a few mistakes here and there like they were feeling around for something unique while Guthrie pulled a melodic masterpiece out of thin air and played it like it was written on paper and practiced to perfection. Can't leave out Andy James on his solo though. His melodic sense is great and his accuracy is incredible.
"Let's give Guthrie the chord change section, can't make it too easy..." TOO EASY hahaha He's on another level. It's cool watching other legends watch him play, knowing he's from another planet. Absolutely unreal ear and technique.
What's more than that, Guthrie plays absolutely best when he has chords to fuck around with. He essentially just outlines the chords when he improvises
I literally had no idea of what Guthrie would do when the backing started, it was so different to anything I heard him play before. Then, of course, the fucker goes on to play probably the best solo I've heard in my life. Don't even know why I'm surprised.
Guthrie Govan's Solo. 8:15 to 8:22 = Andy James and JP reacted. 8:31 = Tosin reacted BEST MOMENT 8:44 to 8:52 when Andy James and Tosin laughed. GG= BEAST
John’s solo was my second favorite solo behind Guthrie’s. Tosin’s solo was just sad... I like his music and composition but he seriously needs to work on his improvisational abilities.
Can compose music but can't improve for good🙄. I see at 5:35 is really fatal they all prof there, why he miss the note, that's just play phyrgan or harmonic minor. Everyone starring on him🙄.
Of course, Guthrie is just phenomenal. While this wasn't even his best improv by far. But the other ones are simply no improvisors.What these guys compose (and play) is outstanding. But in these kind of settings, they just can't show what they are able to do. Andy did a great job! But guitarists like Tosin are lost here. Normally, I'm a "more is more"-guy, but in this case, the "non-improvisors" should have played more melodies and less shred and give Guthrie the most space to improvise.
idk, i have seen Tosin improvising, there is a video of him playin with Nick Johnston in a hotel room (damn that sounds dirty), i think maybe he wass overwhelmed by all this famous musicians, lets remember that AAL is on going since 2009 before that Tosin was pretty much nobody, getting on a stage with all this legends must make you feel dizzy i guess.
Agreed...But listen to John's second solo at the last quarter of the Jam...He was saying "Im your Fatha"..Paul Gilbert have the Ability to shine in these Jams...Not to mention Nuno Bettencourt..
@@RabihSaadguitars John didn't nail the part with the chord changes.. On the one chord metal riff he did great though.. But no one can improvise like guthrie
all jokes aside, I'd like to say guthrie's solos here are the best among them, but if there is anything he lacks it's "theatrics" in my opinion. Not that it's really needed in music, though..
@@gentaermaji191 that's also his ideology of music. All that other fancy bullshit is cool and all but it certainly doesn't have to do anything with music
@@Elemy69 for sure. I feel like anytime any of these guys play together that they are very into each other’s playing.. at least I’d assume just because everyone’s playing and phrasing is a little different and there is always something you can learn from eachother. Unless your Yngwie maybe.. and your ego is just huge...Jk. It’s probly that way for him as well..
Leonardiski123 while everyone was busy praising undeserving musicians Guthrie just kept practicing religiously....everyone else here is a joke...this is the truth my friend...but it's a taboo to speak this way....so u get the point ...
No guitarist here… but guys, as a musician you have to admit seeing those facial expression of joy and happiness from the guys watching Guthrie says it ALL… he’s the master under masters!
I think that is my favourite part of the video! They are all listening and watching him intently then chuckling and shaking their heads at how good he is! It’s wonderful!
Guthrie says in his interviews yngwie is big influence on him. I can see he shreds like Yngwie. More emotional and melodic. I think you should blame more Paul Gilbert'ish players.
@@Kdog-hw6ri i believe he doesnt feel confortable playing live :/ he said that on an interview I saw from Rick Beato's channel, wich is quite sad, cuz man, Graham is a god. He could be playing there with those legends and still improvise craaaaaaaaazy stuff...
I feel Guthrie is the kind of guitarist that bassists and drummers want to have in their band. He plays with the rhythm section, rather than just treating them like a human backing track.
Agreed cos he can do and has done everything and imitating the greats for practise videos along to backing tracks I bet he loves it even more with like minded musicians creating and vibjng off something new
MannnisEi I think it's partially because of the way they record their albums, they always start with drums first. It doesn't give him the chance to accent the feel of everything else that is going on in the song.
that feeling when you're married for 25 yrs and got that chance to date or have a 1 night stand with 3 hot chicks. including your wife, 2 neighbours up close and a crowd watching you do it at a distance.
you fucking kidding right. Mangini is like a god-like legend. Just cuz Sheehan is a bassist in Vai's doesn't mean he's a random talent. Drums and bass are supporting foundations.
@@davidderoux7552 wrong fanboy. Petrucci and Andy James solos sound one dimensional and Metal cliche scale runs with bends. Guthrie was playing out of the box and feel.
@@davidderoux7552 That's why he is a god, because his level of difficulty is so much higher than the rest. That's the reason my friend. If andy and pettruci are one dimensional guthrie is multi
@@mystery6411 I don't give a thing about difficulty,JP is a complete guitar player.But if you are talking about difficulty I recomand 5:27 from this masterpiece: ruclips.net/video/5TIj5l8z8gQ/видео.html
It's probably because they were mesmerized. Honestly, even when I watch it I just simply listen to Guthrie's playing without headbanging or anything like that. His playing sounds so meaningful and passionate that I just listen to him play and get emotional most of the times
Guthrie is so good because his ear is so good, he really knows what notes are in the chords and plays in a very melodic way where he lets the specific chord tones guide where he is heading. He has incredible chops but his note choice is where he really shines.
Mangini was happy to finally see someone who acknowledged his presence as a drummer and didn't take him as a simple backing track. I like Mangini, he's just so enthusiastic all the time, you can see he's here to have fun.
@@Elemy69 hes already an ex member of a virtuoso guitar way better than gg and now hes with dream theater the house of genius by their legacy unreachable by gg Scene from memory + images and words> the whole career of gg
I kept seeing all Guthrie comments. So watched the whole video and man...these comments weren't wrong. He's is hands down the best one there. So damn tasty and effective. Wow.
When you start to transcribe this even just a little you realize this guy is just superimposing all over the place to make this chords sound cool And it's improvised on the spot. Guthrie is incredible
@@tomasvitale5366 The verse (as guthrie played it) is Dbm7(11), Cmaj7(#11), Amaj7(#11), Amaj7(#11), Gbm7, Fmaj7(#11), B7, B7. The other section i guess is something around F# phrygian dominant
I think over the years, Petrucci has lost some of what made him one of my favorite guitarists. He used to write some beautiful solos, but he's become much more of a "shredder first" type of guy lately and dream theater as a whole has lost what made them great. Scenes from a memory was probably his best as far as musicality. Beautiful writing, beautiful songs and beautiful solos. Six Degrees also had some really nice, non shredder solos in it, but it was probably a bit "out there" as far as songs go, for most people. I personally loved it.
@@MAGAMAN Yeah, Petrucci is an eternal mystery. My personal theory is that he's too nice. Hence why he was never able to break free of LaBrie and now Mangini, with their lack of appropriate musicality. However, if I ever feel down in life I usually end up watching videos of him on RUclips, and I think many feel the same, so he's clearly an amazing force for good in the world.
I love how Guthrie held back for 2 & 1/2 bars before starting his solo spot to let the rhythm section establish their grove again and let the listener take a breath. Little things like that are what make me love his musicality.
Vim Fuego should have been on that stage
I'm with you on that. Unfortunately due to the Frilly Pink contract Vim signed, he's got 350 years to go before he can play live again.

There is a good reason to put Guthrie in such a position. He is one of a kind :)
except for rhythmic, there is no difference in them. still playing on the same scale. chord changes don't mean they're playing in different scale.
Which is why Petrucci put him in that situation.
Malik nobody improvised in that section of the song , and yes , there a big difference in each one of them , nobody played the same , but extra points to Guthrie that improvised in all those chords and you need to know harmony to improvise in that part , you cannot improvise in that section using one scale , you can use arpeggios , but that chord progression is chords borrowed from different scales so you need to use different scales in most of them .

cos he's a musician (a great one) and the others are guitar-rapers for fun boys
So this makes Guthrie a god amongst gods? They're all incredible (obviously) but Guthrie just takes things to another level man!
258lemons as usual
A friend of mine once said: „Guthrie is like a sponge in the ocean of guitar players. No matter how high the water level, Guthrie is swimming on top.“
I find the tony macalpine harmony changes very interesting :P But guthrie was listening to it and did it at the end of it's solo hahaha
He borned with a newer firmware in his brain.
Guthrie is like a 60 year loving relationship with the most wonderful woman on Earth and the rest of them are crudely drawn boobies on a 6th graders desk
to me Andy James was the best out of all of the humans. Guthrie is just Guthrie.
Couldnt agree more🤣
Damm right haha
Best comment ever. 😂
Andy is the next Petrucci, period
Well put😂
The drummer influencing Guthrie's solo at 7:40 was such a satisfying moment!
and thats because he is Mike Mangini!
@@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499 Because drummer enjoyed it
They do it twice only not as noticable the second time
Drummer Mike is the most outstanding amongst the most outstanding musicians
I love how at 8:25 you can literally hear the whole universe aligning in harmony as Guthrie plays.
That's the music Bill & Ted had been trying to make.
I also thought I heard the universe aligning, but actually my dog pooted
I enjoyed everyone's reactions when Guthrie hits the perfectly placed tritone at 8:45
For some reason I feel like he did that as a nod to tosin and Andy James like "don't get me started playing your genera MF!" Lpl
Well at 8:20 AJ just shook his head at JP and laughed.....kindof sums up Guthries solo....blew everyones mind
My personal top comment, bro ! Thank you for this on point description
Perfect tritone my ass, it actually got stuck when the rhythmic part of the metal started:)))
I think if Govan drops his guitar, you'll applaud him all day😂😂😂
just looking by his face, i believe, the dude with red guitar is thinking that other guitarist is his enemy
I see everyone here "Guthrieeeeee"
so I watched until Guthrie played and man the comments do not lie. This guys improvised like its an old backing track of his lol
Andy James plays just like JP. Petrucci looks him like "dude, is this how i look like when i'm playing?"
My thoughts exactly!
8:20 Andy + Petrucci's face: - Govan is out of this word
but you didn't notice how Gutrie looked at Andy when he played. Shame on you...
Even abasi
I add 17:25
Just watch JP’s face...
Like wow really to Guthrie
The best solo was of Guthrie 's and Andy 's.... Guthrie took it to different dimensions....
All are great players!!!
@@rabindra.shrestha yeah but guthries and andys are the best suit to the music
It was okay..
By far Andys solo,for me!
i like jp second solo a lot
06:26 Mangini exactly knows how to support guitar properly.
Everyone else was just noodling around with a few mistakes here and there like they were feeling around for something unique while Guthrie pulled a melodic masterpiece out of thin air and played it like it was written on paper and practiced to perfection. Can't leave out Andy James on his solo though. His melodic sense is great and his accuracy is incredible.
"Let's give Guthrie the chord change section, can't make it too easy..." TOO EASY hahaha He's on another level. It's cool watching other legends watch him play, knowing he's from another planet. Absolutely unreal ear and technique.
What's more than that, Guthrie plays absolutely best when he has chords to fuck around with. He essentially just outlines the chords when he improvises
Guthrie's solo is like he's telling a story. I liked the others too, but they felt more like lick exercises.
Damn right……too many tongues and fingers tied up in knots!
Dude you have to check your ears listen to petrucci lol
I literally had no idea of what Guthrie would do when the backing started, it was so different to anything I heard him play before. Then, of course, the fucker goes on to play probably the best solo I've heard in my life.
Don't even know why I'm surprised.
hahahahaha you’re right..this fucker always trying to find way to not sound like himself..my all time fav guitarist
GUTHRIE!!
Do you like a Michael Romeo too???
YES YES YES...I AGREE SO FUCK'N MUCH!!
Guthrie taking notes like no other... damnnnnnnnn
False ! GODhrie..
Randomo!!
8:15 Andy can’t believe what he just witnessed. 😂
Lol, I noticed.....and rightfully so!!
Guthrie and Andy was on the same LICKLIBRARY, as a guitar teacher
Andy's phrasing is OFF THE HOOK tho
Everyone were like "is he a fucking alien!?"
oh god I missed it, fucking hilarious.
love guthrie always wanted to see him play with these guys
7:40 Mangini got pregnant of a little Govan
Guthrie Govan's Solo.
8:15 to 8:22 = Andy James and JP reacted.
8:31 = Tosin reacted
BEST MOMENT 8:44 to 8:52 when Andy James and Tosin laughed.
GG= BEAST
Yeah i see it too.. thats satisfaction
also at 8:45 where he's like "see? I told you man, I told you..."
John’s solo was my second favorite solo behind Guthrie’s. Tosin’s solo was just sad... I like his music and composition but he seriously needs to work on his improvisational abilities.
Tosin was still good.. no guthrie tho
Can compose music but can't improve for good🙄. I see at 5:35 is really fatal they all prof there, why he miss the note, that's just play phyrgan or harmonic minor. Everyone starring on him🙄.
Tosins solo was poor melodically.
I adore Petrucci - but Guthrie - out of this world. Please forgive me John Petrucci 😞
Of course, Guthrie is just phenomenal. While this wasn't even his best improv by far. But the other ones are simply no improvisors.What these guys compose (and play) is outstanding. But in these kind of settings, they just can't show what they are able to do. Andy did a great job! But guitarists like Tosin are lost here. Normally, I'm a "more is more"-guy, but in this case, the "non-improvisors" should have played more melodies and less shred and give Guthrie the most space to improvise.
cant agree more
idk, i have seen Tosin improvising, there is a video of him playin with Nick Johnston in a hotel room (damn that sounds dirty), i think maybe he wass overwhelmed by all this famous musicians, lets remember that AAL is on going since 2009 before that Tosin was pretty much nobody, getting on a stage with all this legends must make you feel dizzy i guess.
Agreed...But listen to John's second solo at the last quarter of the Jam...He was saying "Im your Fatha"..Paul Gilbert have the Ability to shine in these Jams...Not to mention Nuno Bettencourt..
@@RabihSaadguitars John didn't nail the part with the chord changes.. On the one chord metal riff he did great though.. But no one can improvise like guthrie
Guthrie...
all jokes aside, I'd like to say guthrie's solos here are the best among them, but if there is anything he lacks it's "theatrics" in my opinion. Not that it's really needed in music, though..
@@gentaermaji191 that's also his ideology of music. All that other fancy bullshit is cool and all but it certainly doesn't have to do anything with music
Any time tosin and Guthrie play together tosin seems so stoked on Guthrie
He doesn't even bother to play rythms lol 😂
Tosin is extremely humble and nice, he is awesome..
And it seems to be reciprocal. Guthrie seems to be very curious about Tosin's technique
@@Elemy69 for sure. I feel like anytime any of these guys play together that they are very into each other’s playing.. at least I’d assume just because everyone’s playing and phrasing is a little different and there is always something you can learn from eachother. Unless your Yngwie maybe.. and your ego is just huge...Jk. It’s probly that way for him as well..
Skywalker meets yoda level respect. .
Tosin watching Guthrie is hilarious.
2:42 That pick attack, wtf? I literally thought there was a bird outside my window
It’s why John only really shreds on the neck pickup. Cheesy 80’s solos always be shredding in the sharpest sounding pickup
Mark Lowery Certain picks have a real 'chirp' sound to them too, like Dunlop Delrins
Silveral_ ahh I see
literally thought this the second i heard it😂😂
8:16 when andy james stops headbanging an is just listening... :-D
Guthrie Govan how can someone be that good
at neo classical, yes but Guthrie is more well-rounded and creative ..
Loved his clear, concise tone too .. I think I need a V30 Victory amp now!
Mal Reynolds shut the fuck up yngwie copy cat
Ask Greg Howe!
Leonardiski123 while everyone was busy praising undeserving musicians Guthrie just kept practicing religiously....everyone else here is a joke...this is the truth my friend...but it's a taboo to speak this way....so u get the point ...
Everyone comparing the guitarists but no one appreciating the drummer!
raghav dube
me :)
mangini gods 😂
Its mangini dude, he's one of the best drummers alive
For Mangini those lines are so easy that his brain was idle or just day dreaming while playing.
those rolls he does are absolutely burning
Its monster Mangini
No guitarist here… but guys, as a musician you have to admit seeing those facial expression of joy and happiness from the guys watching Guthrie says it ALL… he’s the master under masters!
I think that is my favourite part of the video! They are all listening and watching him intently then chuckling and shaking their heads at how good he is! It’s wonderful!
I was going to say "This is all your fault, Yngwie!" And then Guthrie took a solo...
It's probably not toooo much of a stretch to say that Guthrie is mainly responsible for turning young rock guitarists onto improvisation.
Guthrie says in his interviews yngwie is big influence on him. I can see he shreds like Yngwie. More emotional and melodic. I think you should blame more Paul Gilbert'ish players.
I was implying that GG was by far the best here. His solos are so much more musical...
@@soidayo Exactly
diminished rule!! lol
It would be super awesome if Rick Graham was also there
Start a camping to convince Andy and JP to get him.
Ifkrrr!!!!
I was thinking of that too..rick would be great
Is there any live Rick Graham work?
@@Kdog-hw6ri i believe he doesnt feel confortable playing live :/ he said that on an interview I saw from Rick Beato's channel, wich is quite sad, cuz man, Graham is a god. He could be playing there with those legends and still improvise craaaaaaaaazy stuff...
This video tought me how to give up on guitar
dont
LMAO, ...just put mine in the dumpster
Truest observation bro
Lorenzo Ercoli Dont give up this is just a bunch of fiddling.Play with your heart and soul and you will blow all these guys away.
yeah me too😊
At 8:14 Andy just freezes and is in total awe of what Guthrie is playing
Ya you’d act the same in front of God too 😉
8:00 Tosin Abasi's and Andy James' faces..
Andy's like "Goddamnit, dude. At least I didn't have to follow him."
All star?!?!? Yeah right... I don't see Kmac2021 in there 😠. Only mid tier players...
Rodrigo Gonzalez bitch you don't even know what is the difference between star and legend
Kmac2021 is legend
Meme lord all hail😂
true
Who is kmc21?
Bibhut Khadka do you know what irony is? :)
I love how tosin is just smiling the whole time
@@s1iznc1d34 5:35 miss note
And how at 9:37 he loves aside to give all the attention to the drums. He's a wholesome man
I feel Guthrie is the kind of guitarist that bassists and drummers want to have in their band. He plays with the rhythm section, rather than just treating them like a human backing track.
Agreed cos he can do and has done everything and imitating the greats for practise videos along to backing tracks I bet he loves it even more with like minded musicians creating and vibjng off something new
I've never heard Mangini sound this good... Why isn't he this lively and organic on the DT records?
MannnisEi I think it's partially because of the way they record their albums, they always start with drums first. It doesn't give him the chance to accent the feel of everything else that is going on in the song.
MannnisEi low pay scale?
that feeling when you're married for 25 yrs and got that chance to date or have a 1 night stand with 3 hot chicks. including your wife, 2 neighbours up close and a crowd watching you do it at a distance.
Other sound and music. I like very much how he interacts. He grooves great here. I am extremely surprised how differently he grooves here. Love it!
you fucking kidding right. Mangini is like a god-like legend. Just cuz Sheehan is a bassist in Vai's doesn't mean he's a random talent. Drums and bass are supporting foundations.
Why does Jesus jam's with 4 beginners instead of helping poor people.
When the riff at 8:25 aligned, the drummer literally stood to crash the cymbals. Awesome.
I keep coming back to this video. Time stamp usually is 6:52 ..
Same here
Same here
Same here
that is why my friends, only one of them played with hans zimmer ..
YESSSSS
maybe the rest don't need someone like Zimmer to appear in front of the audience...I don't know...
They're all great...and then Guthrie has his "hold my beer" moment.
haha
I don't think that way. It seems like he is also figuring out the right notes to suit up with the chord changes.
@@Nedwin The music is figuring out the right ways to suit up guthrie lol
@@Nedwin there are no wrong notes for guthrie. Jazz has no "right" notes. You just have to deliver the context.
Rather, they took his beer so he wouldn't get drunk. Maybe he was going to break a string like he did for Zimmer...
The freak in the left stole the show
08:45 I'm a fan of JP, but those faces at the end of Gutrhie's solo prove he's out of this world!! Genius
Sorry bro but petrucci is more exiting for me
always in comments
90%-discussing about guitarists
10%-"why is noone talking about bassist/drummer
Because there are 5 guitarists with only 1 drummer n 1 bassist
I dont think guthrie is happy standing with the people not his level
I don't know why, but I was expecting Smash Mouth....
*sOmeBOdY*
Yeah I thought I was about to watch the best video of the century
AJ is a beast .. but GG is another level ahead of them all 🤘🤘
Guthrie comes down from Mt. Olympus to jam with the mortals, how nice of him!
Andy James and JP solos sounds 100 times better than Olympus guy...
@@davidderoux7552 wrong fanboy. Petrucci and Andy James solos sound one dimensional and Metal cliche scale runs with bends. Guthrie was playing out of the box and feel.
@@thebomontellano4996 it sounds 100 times better to me,I like metal not rock+jazz fusion.Nothing it's wrong...
@@davidderoux7552 That's why he is a god, because his level of difficulty is so much higher than the rest. That's the reason my friend. If andy and pettruci are one dimensional guthrie is multi
@@mystery6411 I don't give a thing about difficulty,JP is a complete guitar player.But if you are talking about difficulty I recomand 5:27 from this masterpiece:
ruclips.net/video/5TIj5l8z8gQ/видео.html
Every time I watch this I feel like Guthrie's solo doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves from the crowd compared to some of the others
It's probably because they were mesmerized. Honestly, even when I watch it I just simply listen to Guthrie's playing without headbanging or anything like that. His playing sounds so meaningful and passionate that I just listen to him play and get emotional most of the times
Right?
Honestly, he doesn't need us mortals to cheer for him. Most of just freeze with awe when guthrie plays.
Guthrie is so good because his ear is so good, he really knows what notes are in the chords and plays in a very melodic way where he lets the specific chord tones guide where he is heading. He has incredible chops but his note choice is where he really shines.
thank you my friend
Crazy how Guthrie is holding this whole thing together he really is the silent master and they all know it
Guthrie is the man...OMG
Guthrie is not from this planet...wow! Notice at the very end - Dave LaRue says something to Guthrie and proceeds to bow. Absolutely EPIC!!!
The drummer influencing the solo made him play with 2x more passion. Absolutely love it.
It’s not drummer. It’s Mike Mangini!!😏
Wait, what!? Lil Wayne was not invited to destroy them all? Lil Wayne creates universes when he plays the guitar!
Kenneth Bolanio lol XD
Hahahaha! And how to make the guitar say neega. :D
He plays within the fourth dimension, we cannot yet comprehend it.
Lame
I like how everyone on stage is so interested in what Guthrie plays
Even mike mangini was fired up by guthrie’s skill. Drummer can feel the difference in live performance.
Mangini was happy to finally see someone who acknowledged his presence as a drummer and didn't take him as a simple backing track. I like Mangini, he's just so enthusiastic all the time, you can see he's here to have fun.
@@Elemy69 fresh comment yay
@@Elemy69 hes already an ex member of a virtuoso guitar way better than gg and now hes with dream theater the house of genius by their legacy unreachable by gg

@@dialecticos6904 retire from life my man
I kept seeing all Guthrie comments. So watched the whole video and man...these comments weren't wrong. He's is hands down the best one there. So damn tasty and effective. Wow.
When you start to transcribe this even just a little you realize this guy is just superimposing all over the place to make this chords sound cool
And it's improvised on the spot. Guthrie is incredible
Hey, what's the chord progression?
@@tomasvitale5366 The verse (as guthrie played it) is
Dbm7(11), Cmaj7(#11), Amaj7(#11), Amaj7(#11), Gbm7, Fmaj7(#11), B7, B7.
The other section i guess is something around F# phrygian dominant
@@tomer107 Amazing, thank you!!
Guthrie’s talent is indisputable, but Petrucci’s sound and musicality is also on another level. Great musicians both!
I think over the years, Petrucci has lost some of what made him one of my favorite guitarists. He used to write some beautiful solos, but he's become much more of a "shredder first" type of guy lately and dream theater as a whole has lost what made them great. Scenes from a memory was probably his best as far as musicality. Beautiful writing, beautiful songs and beautiful solos. Six Degrees also had some really nice, non shredder solos in it, but it was probably a bit "out there" as far as songs go, for most people. I personally loved it.
Yes, I agree 100% 👍👍
@@MAGAMAN Yeah, Petrucci is an eternal mystery. My personal theory is that he's too nice. Hence why he was never able to break free of LaBrie and now Mangini, with their lack of appropriate musicality. However, if I ever feel down in life I usually end up watching videos of him on RUclips, and I think many feel the same, so he's clearly an amazing force for good in the world.
Yes petruci sound unique, for me the rest sound the same
@@othomas1825 Andy sounds very very good too!
Christ! Guthrie served them breakfast, dinner, desert, and took them out for drinks. Wrecked!
It wasn't a competition lol
Definitely a fan of John’s composing and playing.
But when it comes to jamming I can’t help but just bring outstanded by Guthrie’s mastery.
Look man haven’t you heard of Alan holdsworth he copied him
Take a listen jp never copied
