@@3shguitars819 I know right? I've never understood this kind of comment. I may be light years away from Guthrie, but watching him play inspires me to play and improve.
@@osalbaro it's a joke, GG has inspired pretty much ALL of the modern metal/rock scene. Every djent band back in 2010 had him as a God and from that it escalated pretty quickly to what we have today. The bar is pretty high all because of him, which is a good thing.
I'm humbled by the fact that I've been lucky enough to catch a few of his lectures of about this size. It's truly jaw-dropping how talented this man is and the way he speaks about everything is just as entertaining as his playing. Absolutely a consummate professional.
I found this video of this live performance of Ner Ner a while ago here on you tube and I've listened to it about 500 times. It always gives me chills down my spine! This guy is so incredible all his music does. I remember him in one of the guitar magazines many years ago ( can't remember which one ) in the hometown hero's section. Just so awesome I can't stop listening to him!
It's his brain dude. He sucks up music theory and just reads it like we read language. The fret are is just notes for him and not positions like for the rest of us.
At this point he has fused with the guitar itself. Every single pick, articulation, note choice, etc., comes natural and requires minimal thinking. I've seen a lot of good players but this guy is really something else.
He said in an interview his whole life he has had only the goal of being able to manifest the sounds he hears in his head. He just gained skill until he could flow and play his brain as the primary musical instrument.
at 4 minutes is when it gets really good. i dont play the guitar -- i know nothing, formally, about music. but listening to him is incredible. i have all his records. he plays in a way that is energizing and relaxing all at once.
Je pensais savoir jouer de la guitare... Guthrie Govan lui, il pense guitare. Tout est prétexte à une explosion d'harmonie, la plupart improvisée et fulgurante. De loin selon moi, un des meilleurs guitaristes de ces 10 dernières années, il a mis la barre très très très haut. Je suis à chaque fois un peu plus terrassé devant tant de maitrise, de naturel et de flamboyance. Wow
@@matt-770 i beg to differ, I think his creativity would be inspired or at the least the same. It's usually the lazy ones that lose inspiration after getting recognition, and Guthrie is anything but lazy.
I am pretty sure his fellow guitarists recognize him for his undeniable talent and musicality. If the general masses never hear him that’s on with me! I paid $35 to see him with the Aristocrats a couple weeks ago, and managed to be 4-5 feet from the stage. His style wouldn’t work terribly well in an arena setting.
They're showing the students from behind because their faces have all melted. Honestly, I don't think there is any guitar player that has ever lived that is better than Guthrie. Not to say that 'he's the best', whatever that even means, but damn... It just doesn't get better. He is playing a different game to the rest of us.
I've been listening to amazing guitarists for a while, this guy is the GOAT. Feel, technique, musical vocabulary, philosophy and humour. Insane, just incredible. The musicality is there, so any music lover can enjoy this.
Whenever I see GG playing guitar I believe I'm watching God just having fun with string instrument. Thank you for video so happy to see that he doing very well
I watched The Aristocrats (Boing - live) while cruising down an acid trip; was chillin in my bed, headphones on, & this XL iPad was big enough to draw me into the screen. All I was getting (in every psychedelic way you can think of) is that Guthrie Govan, Bryan Beller, & Marco Minnermann are the “gods” of their instruments, achieving a level beyond mastery: at unity. They are literally demi-gods (if you consider a “god of music” enveloping each instrument and style too) among us. There are the greats who are prrrrretty darn amazing at their art, but there is a clear distance between them combined and Guthrie alone. Another ridiculous demi-god that popped up a couple years ago is Harry Mack (Ultimate Freestyle Rapper / Poet / Improviser / Realtime Story Teller) … fuuuuuck, I’m baked 😶🌫️ … anyway, if you’ve read this far, thanks for holding on with my trip 😂 … Adios 🚀🔥💀☯️👻
Yep.. always great to see Shawn mentioned as he was without a doubt the craziest player that ever lived..no one will ever play like he did but Guthrie brings something else to the table that no one has.
@@teeple1877. True Guthrie does has it all rhythm, dynamics,feel,technique, improvisation,speed . All in one.. In my opinion Shawn is indeed a myth but Guthrie is Godthrie 🙂
Electric guitar... Govan Holdsworth McLaughlin Metheny Shawn Lane... take your pick for 🐐...all answers acceptable. Next level just below would be Hendrix George Benson Schofield Connors Di Meola Stern Coryell
Haha yes, I should have made sure to make my mark back when we got information from perusing bookstores and libraries. This digital age will locate every prodigy within days now, lol
Truelly remarkable player...flawless technique matched with imagination and adventurous out there atonal stuff always coming back to melody,astounding virtuosity...crikey,where to next??
Guthrie is (to me) on the top rankings of greatest and most advanced guitar players of all time PERIOD! Never EVER have I seen someone play like that before in my entire life!
I had no idea who he was until last night when I heard Man of Steel live at the Hans Zimmer show. It was the highlight of the evening, simply stunning.
There are at least a dozen guitar plays on YT that are stunning. Govan is certainly one of them. I'm not skilled enough to rank them, but he is a great one.
Dude throws riffs on top of a riff that's already in a riff on top of a solo that's already in a verse and then just when you think it's gonna be a chorus there's a solo with a riff and then the riffs just turn into the real solo And after that maybe a bridge with a little breakdown so we can all catch our beath before the main solo
Govan's a genius. Think about it for a moment. What this guy does is so far off the grid that it has reinvented the grid. He may not want to be famous but he really does deserve it.
There's a spiritual saying that says even if you're not practicing the instrument but if you are still considering and watching and learning, it can still be as if you were practicing the whole time!
I’m learning guitar on a 20 year old dreadnought, and i put heavy gauge strings on it so generally my left hand is exhausted and my finger placement has to be spot on or else everything buzzes. When I went to guitar center and tried out the flamed maple Guthrie Charvel with low action, jumbo stainless frets, perfect neck angle and factory strings holy shit my fingers were flying, I could do Gilmore bends and three fret chords were a breeze. I understand this notion that focusing on gear over technique is the wrong thing to do but, I would highly suggest getting comfortable on a heavy gauge acoustic primarily and not just “whatever you feel is comfortable”, in order to accelerate growth because something easy on the hands fundamentally is going to be a slower learning curve, almost like you wanna train for the Olympics but never increased the weight you were lifting or possibly even learned the wrong technique because the weight was so light. After I realized this, I thought I still may be far from Guthrie, but at least I can see the path for growth! If I keep practicing, scales, chords, song repertoire, jazz progressions, learning solos, on the heavy gauge acoustic it might take 5-10 years but I can see how someone could actually get close to Guthrie’s level of technical proficiency. Just developing that hardcore strength and muscle memory on the left hand. So just my two cents for anyone actually thinking about quitting or feels like they are at a plateau, theres no shortcut but the more you suffer in the beginning the easier the complicated and “showy” stuff becomes in the end. Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah everyone!
Its fairly commonplace to complain that GG is still workshop demo-ing his Erotic Cakes tracks from 2006. But given that in every single case, they are made new, and really, just as vivid and bright as the originals (if not more so sometimes), its really kinda fun. Like meeting an old friend who's had a whole makeover and re-invented themselves - in good ways. And I think that is because when you hear the EC originals, the interplay between the thematic material and the improvisations is so fluid and natural, when you hear a completely different take on the same tracks and its just as fluid and natural, you (well, I) just give up and say, well that's Guthrie for you.
I'm just wondering, since he can obviously compose songs on the spot, why does he only have one solo album? He could be bashing them out left and right, but he doesn't seem interested whatsoever.
@@cheesofile666 I know, its really been a frustration for his many of his followers. I couldn't begin to answer on GG's behalf ... but would guess its a mixture of my observations above - that he still gets new things out of the old - with exacting standards re the composition element, and of course he is still writing regularly within the Aristocrats framework (where as I understand each contributes a third of the tracklist).
@@JacarandaMusic I suppose with his ludicrous inventiveness, nothing gets truly old haha. He's certainly been prolific, it's just surprising that he hasn't attempted to leverage his godlike talents into a full-on solo career. He seems to prefer being part of projects and collaborations.
@@jinjalord I’ve already showed this to a friend who only listens to rap, he asked me for more, he couldn’t believe how seamlessly this man transitions from one sound to another and still playing 1 coherent song. I only wish this was an actual track on an album
I don't think any other guitarist can touch Guthrie when it comes to technically advanced playing that is still deeply soulful and expressive. When he shreds it always sounds like he has something to say, not like he's just showing off chops.
He's got to be the best guitar player alive. He also has to be a prodigy when it comes to music. BTW, that clapping was so underwhelming compared to what was just played.
Shawn was good but not as accessible as Guthrie , but too many notes played for me with Shawn, but still very fluid. Good player. Guthries more versatile for me as well.
A prodigy? He can't write music though, he's more of a novelty act, a guitar nerd if you like. Enrich yourself, there are far more tasteful players out there.
There isn't a "best" guitar player in the world because music is art and it's all subjective.. and then there's Guthrie ❤️
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Truly. :D
seriously, he makes being super skilled look easy, a lot of hard work and long time dedication pays off for sure
I like to use the phrase "most complete guitarist"
if hendrix was an inspiration for the people to start to playing guitar back in the days, now, this must be an inspiration for the people to quit playing guitar... immediately, of course...

How can people still say this? This guy only inspires you to pick up your guitar and practice nonstop.

Crazy to think that he's improvising probably 90% of this. He's completely out of this world good
You know nothing
@@jordanrinella8118 i think he's talking about the solos, and he's correct
@@jordanrinella8118 Yes, but if you listen to the song, you will realize that most of the passages are improvised, it is not difficult to listen to it
It's his brain dude. He sucks up music theory and just reads it like we read language. The fret are is just notes for him and not positions like for the rest of us.
Do you think he is as good as Jimmy Page?
At last!!! - I can finally claim to do something the same as Guthrie Govan.
…in that we both own the same guitar strap!
I have a similar pick..
That’s half the battle.
I love how he develops a melody and then returns to it throughout the piece. Just an incredible work of musicianship
At this point he has fused with the guitar itself.
Every single pick, articulation, note choice, etc., comes natural and requires minimal thinking.
I've seen a lot of good players but this guy is really something else.
Yeah, what the hell aye.
*no thinking whatsoever
He said in an interview his whole life he has had only the goal of being able to manifest the sounds he hears in his head. He just gained skill until he could flow and play his brain as the primary musical instrument.
Thought is the enemy of flow... Vinnie Colaiuta
@johnpower2018you haven't heard enough Guthrie
Even the term Genius is an understatement in Guthrie Govan's case !!!
I don’t think the creator of the guitar ever imagined that someone would ever be close to this high a level of playing. It’s absolutely stunning. Wow
He designed it.
@@joshcastaneda539 I don’t think he meant this actual guitar. But the original inventor of the guitar

Playing aside, Guthrie’s guitar tones are my favourite. So varied and rich
Guthrie really is free just to play whatever he hears at any moment
That just melted my f$%@$^% face off. Can't wait to see him in Vegas this summer.
Workshop or concert in Vegas?

love his blues rock feel while shredding as well as anyone i have ever seen. and if it got better, my listening abilities could not tell.
It was fusion
That guitar is one of favorites ever
Fantastic demonstration!
Everything about Guthrie makes me want more ❤
There are at least a dozen guitar plays on YT that are stunning. Govan is certainly one of them. I'm not skilled enough to rank them, but he is a great one.
The guitar was made for this man, and this man for the guitar.
he really is just different. always love his touch on bends and pinches
And when I thought there wasn't any better version of Ner ner than those I already know of, this comes out... He really gave it all on that one.
The audience after its finished:
I KNOW KUNG FU!
🤣🤣😂
literally the God of electric guitar

Incredible playing . I can hear hints of Vince Moore in this tune .
True! Also Steve Vai
Be honest, we all go to the Guthrie masterclasses for the free solo album track play throughs
Solely the bending at 0:36 speaks tons about his skills.
Yeah, his playing is so beautiful.
I like to think there is a monty python sketch going on in guthries brain. Spectacular
That's really made me laugh!
There would have to be Graham Chapman going "this is too silly" midway through the solo😂
Outstanding 😎🤟🏻
Flow is power.....👊 And Everything else is literature....

Ouch those fast four fret hammer on and pull offs with just his first three fingers
hello professor Guthrie ypu are very good
Where can I go to see him life and kick his ass to make an other album like that? I love that so amazing!
02:17 that's why i love this dude
He's a wizard . That was something special .

I'd love to see guthrie and buckethead together. That would be omg.
WTF the harmonic thing he did at 4:57 - shut the fuck up that was amazing
💥 That Pretty Much Covered The Neck 🎸 What Else You Got💥
WTF he did 1 million tricks and techniques... and had a whammy / floyd rose system... and he didn't use it. Guthrie is INFINITE.
BRUTAL
I would pee in my pants if I was there 😂
I Heard Guthrie say the Fractal FX8 made more sense to use than anything Else for Traveling and Stage
Pls upload the rendezvous backing track again pls thank u
95%..3 finger
5%...4th finger
Pretty good
Guthrie was in Wiesbaden, and I had zero clue?? FML :(
4:45 to 4:50 run is just insane!
