Guthrie Govan, fyi is the single best guitarist in the world, he can play every genre, every style and to this day no one has even come close to his level of mastery on the instrument. As a guitarist he is a massive inspiration to me.
@@wiebenijenhuis1825 Guthrie really is on that level where no one really compares to him, but its hard to say hes the “single” best player because guitar is like infinitely versatile and people can come up with new ways of playing and whatnot and many players are unique. But if u like Guthrie and havnt heard of people like Shawn Lane, Tommy Emanuel, and the newer generation of guitarists like Tosin Abasi, Manuel Gardner Fernandez, Tim Henson, Ichika, Mateus Asato, these guys are also on their own level altho id say Guthrie is better than them overall they are all worth a check.
@@boykidmanboykidman5420 Lots of great guitarists including all those you mentioned, but like you said no one quite touches Guthrie's unfathomable level of skill AND musicality combined, the closest peer I can think of may be Ron Thal (Bumblefoot)
As a HUGE fan of Guthrie Govan, (guitarist), I never tire of performances like this. In the world of music, there is no "greatest", as it's too subjective. Favorites are based on one's taste. I don't particularly enjoy listening to Celine Dion sing, but will argue with the haters all day that she is absolutely one of the greatest singers to ever breathe air, because regardless of my taste in singers, her abilities are staggering. Hans introduces Guthrie to his audiences as "the greatest guitar player in the world." Guthrie would be the first to disagree. But the reason so many guitarists back that up is because we can, at least to some degree, agree. You may have a more favorite jazz guitarist, or classical guitarist, or fusion guitarist, or metal guitarist, or country guitarist, or folk guitarist, etc...but...Guthrie is outstanding at all of those genres and it is simply...mind-boggling! So I avoid saying "greatest" in regards to anything that isn't a measurable metric, especially if it's based in art, but I would absolutely say, he embodies talent, musical vocabulary, ability, discipline, virtuosity, and versatility better than anyone else on the instrument, at least out of the pool of professionals known to the public. 🙌🏻
Lorsqu'on a posé la question à James Marshall Hendrix est-ce que vous êtes le plus grand guitariste du monde ? il avait répondu non, et il a ajouté que Jimmy Page était aussi un bon guitariste. On ne peut pas comparer aujourd'hui des guitaristes. Les styles différent. Mais je dirais que Guthrie Govan a su profiter des autres styles des meilleurs guitaristes de la planète. Parfois il immite Frank Zappa, parfois on dirait Satriani qui joue ou Steve Vai. Il maîtrise la guitare électrique et effets spéciaux, pédale wah- wah. Guthrie Govan is one Best guitar player now.
Every single performance he played that solo *completely* different. And every single performance it was just as in place, just as melodic, just as awe inspiring and just as improvised. If you don’t believe me, find a couple different videos of this song from different venues. Guthrie is the best guitarist on the planet right now, both technically and musically.
Saw Zimmer and Guthrie live last tuesday, can confirm was another magical improvisation. But I've seen guthrie live for the Aristocrats as well in a way smaller venue, and the man is just one improv machine. He'll never play a solo exactly the same.
"There is no such thing as the best guitarist in the world, this is way subjective" *listens to Guthrie Govan* "Okay, this this guys is best guitarist in the world"
Can we have a moment of silence for the bassist who is probably extremely talented and a master of technique, but who will always have to take a back seat to the more sonically present instruments.
To anyone curious the guitarist is Guthrie govan he is one of the best guitarist alive and my personal favorite, he is a absolute monster and is known for doing any genre, having a amazing ear, improvising amazingly, and just much more he’s one of the best of all time for sure
Having been there watching it can we just take a moment as well to respect how perfectly in time those two drummers were with each other made it so anthemic
It would have been cool to be at that concert - considering I was at a concert several days later in the same arena. Would have really enjoyed seeing Hans Zimmer live.
Why ppl keep calling this song "flight"? Is not flight man it is " what are you going to do when you are not saving the world" and the second one is " if you love these people".
It's a job. He's playing OK music - even if most of it is cheesy movie scores - and playing with good musicians. And the paycheck probably keeps his rent current, and allows him to do less-commercial stuff like The Aristocrats.
@@Baribrotzer Agreed. But I fear that his Aristocrats and solo work may be a long time coming when Zimmer pays him a fortune for this, as you say, cheesy stadium rubbish.
@@frednerk8366 But this stuff doesn't take a huge percentage of his time - maybe three months of touring a year, if that much. And a musician on his level can learn music FAST, sight-read what he doesn't know, and fake his way through mistakes. Most of it doesn't sound all that much harder than Pink Floyd. Remember, Zimmer's band has also included Johnny Marr - who has a unique sound and feel, but is mostly a punk rock ear player. Which, for that matter, is Zimmer's strength: as a composer, he definitely has a sound of his own, but it's more about a distinctive way of putting sounds together than an involved technique for putting notes together.
@@Baribrotzer I hope that you are correct, but GG has'nt done anything else (as far as I am aware) since joining Zimmer - and it's been a while now. The prancing violinists only cheapen the thing. As a player, I can assure you that Zimmers theatrical stuff is much easier to play than virtually any Pink Floyd number.
I think Guthrie's honoured to be playing (literally) right next to Hans Zimmer. I love Guthries work with The Aristocrats and the chemistry between the three players just instantly brings a smile to my face time I see these 3 guys together. Guthrie is someone who seems to be doing what he likes. It's not the most technical music he plays here, but he probably thinks it's fun improvising over other chords than he's used to. And to be involved in such a major show. Compare that to 3 guys on a tiny stage. Must be quite a kick for him as well.
I was there and I still cannot get over how good the guitarist was
Guthrie Govan..your welcome.
Guthrie govan is considered one of the best at it mate
@@Thisguy-ff9lo Yh I never heard of him before but the second I got back from the concert I looked him up.
Best guitar player in the world
I know I'm late but all I have to say is "Homles Juses"
Here for that guitar, blew my mind last night damn what a show
He was incredible his solos were amazing

Hans Zimmer was like, “Im putting together a team, of special individuals with unique talents.”
Never a truer word said so much talent
Z-Men ?
Damn, that's a historic guitar moment right there.
Joooo
A new improvised solo every night, btw. Probably why Hans loves watching him go

Guthrie often comes to our local jam night in Essex.Great guitarist ,really nice Guy.
Guthrie isn't the greatest guitar player in the word. He's possibly the greatest musician in the world......
@randy Bet he couldn’t write a post as eloquent as that one mind you

Guthrie Govan is one Best guitar player now.
Guess what,,,, basically you're implying he is still the greatest despite having said all that.... Great
you know the solo is good when the fucking composer himself had to walk out to see it closer. Guthrie is such a legend
apparently he does this every performance, probably to check out what crazy shit Guthrie's gonna do next
Hans also gave clue on when the solo should change keys, it's difficult to count bars when a given time was enormously long
Govan is clearly the current King of electric guitar. His solos are legendary!!! So much emotion in his playing.
The guitarist (Guthrie Govan) nailed it! For me the shift around 3:36 when 'Flight' blends with 'If You Love These People' is absolutely magic
“The Guitarist” is Guthrie Govan. Literally one of the best to ever do it
@@shimahdnb ❤️❤️
That's Guthrie Govan. Closest thing to the best guitarist in the world.
@@rorschach4391 ikr!
@@rorschach4391that d be petrucci
The MOS score is massively underrated, for me one of the greatest ever composed
Agreed!
Yh it’s insane so underrated
Man of steel as a whole is an extremely underrated movie
Man of Steel is a fantastic movie all round, but the soundtrack is something special indeed.
The blend of Hans Zimmer's orchestral genius & Guthrie Govan's musical liberty and crazy guitar shenanigans just makes me so emotional ❤️
Every single performance he played that solo *completely* different.
And every single performance it was just as in place, just as melodic, just as awe inspiring and just as improvised.

Jesus. That guitarist.
Correct
He is Jesus
4:41 That high bend is breathtaking.
Here after Hans Zimmer concert. This is goddamn mind blowing stuff. This guy is god of guitar.
"There is no such thing as the best guitarist in the world, this is way subjective"
*listens to Guthrie Govan*
"Okay, this this guys is best guitarist in the world"
Can we have a moment of silence for the bassist who is probably extremely talented and a master of technique, but who will always have to take a back seat to the more sonically present instruments.
I'm glad Hans Zimmer is introducing new audiences to Guthrie Govan
Incredible! I can’t wait to hear him in Manchester tomorrow.
Enjoy! It's so good I was tempted to see if there were any tickets left for tonight 😂
To anyone curious the guitarist is Guthrie govan he is one of the best guitarist alive and my personal favorite, he is a absolute monster and is known for doing any genre, having a amazing ear, improvising amazingly, and just much more he’s one of the best of all time for sure
Having been there watching it can we just take a moment as well to respect how perfectly in time those two drummers were with each other made it so anthemic
Hans is so into that solo!
"The Guitar God"
Hans is like "that's so amazing" but also "how the f*ck are you doing that?!"
goosebumps every time. guthrie govan is the best! an alien
As a Guitarist myself I was blown away seeing his solo live 😍
Guthrie Govan. A true gifted genius. The guitar god.
Wish I could have seen this.
Fantastic show. I loved every second of it, so glad I was able to be there myself! Great video!
It would have been cool to be at that concert - considering I was at a concert several days later in the same arena. Would have really enjoyed seeing Hans Zimmer live.
Thanks for this video! I was there but my phone died before I could record this. Amazing stuff
I mainstream like guitarists such as Joe, and Steve and their likes but Guthrie.. he is in another dimension.
It's nice to see miss trunchbull finally picked up the bass
Super guitarist
Man Guthrie is so fucking good.
It's not "Flight" actually. It's "What are u going to do when you are not saving the World"
Hooooooooly crap this solo is insane. Even Hans Zimmer almost headbanging there :)
Guthrie is amazing wow
guthrie !!!!!!
Awesome. I'm seeing it tonight. My favourite soundtrack. What time did it finish?
Guthrie Govan y García Herreros 😮 que locura
🔥
Why ppl keep calling this song "flight"? Is not flight man it is " what are you going to do when you are not saving the world" and the second one is " if you love these people".
Who is that bass player? Guthrie of course is out-of-this world talented, but am not familiar with who's putting those low notes out? Anyone know?
Juan Garcia-Herreros is playing the Electric Bass :)
It's not "Flight", it's "What are you going to do when you are not saving the World"
I think the song title on 2:51 is "if you love these people so much, you can mourn for them" not Flight
The flight theme was the first theme that played
Well you need a superman for this!! And guthrie is the real world superman!!
do we have a HD version for this?
6:18 GUTHRI-
GUTHRIE GOVAN, yes
Pls come to hongkong also
Bravo！Is that piece from Zack Snyder‘s dc movie？
Yes, it is!
Guthrie. Possibly the best.
I didn’t know Jesus could shred the guitar 🤣
He can, but he's nowhere near as good as Guthrie...
@@IANSPA yup, definetly!
@@IANSPA lol!
my last name is guthrie
This version isnt as EXPLOSIVE and as grand as the live 2016 version. That guitar solo was amazing though and made up for it.
Henry Cavill :(
This is good, but it's not replacing the iconic Superman theme.
No lo reemplaza, lo supera
GG must be paid a lot to appear with overblown rubbish. He is too good to spend his time with this outfit.
