Paul is such a cool dude. I love how welcoming and encouraging he is to Guthrie. A lot of players would feel threatened by a talent like Guthrie. Paul's got the right spirit. Mad respect!
Yeah a breath of fresh air in a world of pissing contests.
paul seems like a real chill guy. he's got nothing to prove either. he's been eating people for breakfast since the 80s.guthrie and him make sweet sweet music together.

Dude, it's Paul Gilbert anyways so a guy is like "oh snap, he's battling Guthrie... oh wait"
Paul has always been a glowing soul. His instructionals were both informative and insanely entertaining.
Art of Guitar!!!! Love your channel!!!
@Jimmy Alvin Sounds like you don't trust yore girlfriend, but you want to still hang on to her like a sap.
@Evonne Pulkkinen Why do YOU want to hack into Jimmy's girlfriend's instagram account?
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Benedict Skyler instablaster =)
Paul gilbert deserves HUGE respect. he is such a friendly and awesome guy.
Also gets credit for developing his Sig Ibby Fireman. Great guitar
I am a huge Guthrie and Gilbert fan. Its awesome to hear them jam!
Though it sounded like a terrible mess.
I was fortunate enough to receive a few lessons from Guthrie when I was at music college, and can honestly say the guy is an absolute genius. In my opinion he's the finest guitarist in the world. Doesn't matter what you ask him to play he does it better than anyone else. From note selection to clarity he's second to none. Not my favourite guitarist of all time, but definitely the best.
Actually I'm not a great fan of Guthrie's music at all, but can recognise his immense talent. And how does attending some masterclasses make me a groupie you fucking imbecile? He did some masterclasses while I was at the Institute of Contemporary Music. Hundreds of world class musicians have passed through there over the years, both as students and as teachers, therefore I was merely stating fact. Another fact I'm happy to state is your jealousy is clear for all to see. Now away and get some kind of life you stupid wee boy. Go look for pubes or something
+Mark Ryan Dude. There are psychological studies of trolling. Is usually a form of narcissism based on insecurities. They're usually middle aged men with frustrated lives or teenagaers that don't know their emotions. Don't feed the trolls.
+Mark Ryan Kiko Loureiro and Andy Timmons can travel any style too
I love Andy Timmons Pavan he's a fabulous player, and a lovely humble guy as well.
Take a look at some guys like Stochelo Rosenberg, Joscho Stephan they play over the top. Guthrie is one of the best though.
Look at them watching each other and just ENJOYING the music they're making. Why can't everybody here just do the same? They are both amazing talents. Enjoy it. Music is not a competition.
Oh, it is.
Tim, because in the comment section, they think forget that they are just bed musicians, and don't realise they are comparing professional musicians out there.
i'm with you my friend
Paul seems to know how to treat and interact with other guitarists very well.A very class act and genuine character.
This interaction between Guthrie and Paul is much more enjoyable to watch than other videos of Guthrie with Steve Vai on the stage.
Paul is more accomodating to Guthrie and lets him finishes his licks, and their volume are quite even. Moreover, Paul is enjoying their jam, you can see it on his face.
Vai never lets Guthrie finish his licks.
Right dude
Wasn't that terrible. Vai wouldn't even smile back at him. He was Clearly feeeling Dethroned, and Jealous of Guthrie.That was sad to witness.
@@JayTheLane I think Guthrie hurts Steve Vai's feelings to be honest , or is it that deep down Steve knows he can't hang with Guthrie and it bothers him.... and he really can't hang with Guthrie, there's always someone better than everyone, even Guthrie ! tho I haven't found that guy yet ....
That's why the perfect g3 is Satch Paul and Guthrie! Make that happen! People who only love playing. The egoless g3
What chemistry between the two! When two humble, immensely talented minds meet. Brilliant stuff.
That bassist and drummer though. They nailed the backing for Sevens just based on what directions Guthrie gave them on the spot. It's obviously not the regular Sevens, but nothing sounded out of place, they're a real class act.
They are very good but even they seem barely coping at times, especially when the two leads venture outside of the usual scales about halfway into the performance.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy how well organized it sounded for an impromptu, unrehearsed performance. The only really issue I had with the song is the one specific guitar solo where the drummer was slightly overpowering when compared to the album release, but even then, the drummer was kind of on fire.
That's Rodney Holmes on drums. he's a high level player-Santana, Randy Brecker, Steve Kimock.
I met Paul many years ago around 1991 after a Mr Big concert in the U,K i was a shy kid and huge fan, he was really kind to me i will always remember that, and this was when MR Big were selling out shows everywhere ,he did not have the rockstar ego at all and told me to check out Pat Travers. This is the way he is, both humble and kind.
Paul is awesome, always with a big smile on his face. Guthrie is from other planet BTW
Desafinados jajaj el de otro planeta recibió una lección de rock-blues en este video
Desafinados eres un Master Man con la guitarra
You mean he's an alien lifeform. But he looks surprisingly human.
@@gustavorojas8813 Gracias Gustavo jaja!
Guthrie has a fucking incredible vocabulary and ear, as he demonstrated here so many times!
Dude. That's an incredible ear when it meets remarkable training.
and Paul has the feel......
Quinker you think Guthrie doesn't have the feel?
Both have unbelievable feel...... :)
@@quinker6569 Guthrie has better feel than Paul but both are awesome
So at the end of this video I realized the whole time I was smiling from ear to ear and my goosebumps have literally sprouted wings and migrated south for the winter
I had the exact same reaction! I loved it!
To play 'Sevens' with absolutely no rehearsal requires a stellar top-notch band. Good on ya bassist and drummer!
That version of Sevens was amazing...not sure I believe GG about the zero rehearsals. It's too intricate and too polished to not rehearse.
@@JohyeahM remarkable playing but they've clearly checked out the tune beforehand.
Its possible that Guthrie was being honest when he said they didnt rehearse. Guthrie probably gave them a heads up weeks/months prior to this gig, letting them know to learn the song. Its testament to their ability as musicians to then go and play it live first time! They were really good and the drummer especially nailed it. At the end of the day, its no different and theres no problem with this drummer imagining he's doing "his take" of this song, as if he was the guy in the studio when it was originally recorded... considering they had 0 rehearsals!
Either that, or they had a semi/patchy rehearsals backstage or whatever, not a proper one with a full play through of the song before hand!
Whats the drummers name btw? Anyone know?
The bass part cant be that hard for a sessioned pro
No rehearsals doesn't mean they didn't learn their parts beforehand, just never played it together until this moment. I've done gigs like this.
I was lucky enough to be there and I can tell you these two really got along... it was such a cool vibe and it was many times more impressive live... the whole group were such cool people... we literally hung out with the whole group all week just sitting around talking... and I can promise you these two are very very sharp individuals outside of hust guitar/music...
I’m definitely jelly, I need to see em both live asap
Love Paul’s tone here! Plus clearly his musicality is second to none. 🎶🎸
I can't believe no one is noticing that amazing drummer! He's super good!
Drummers sit on their ass everyday. 😛 he is really amazing drummer.
His name is Rodney Holmes.
@@Monsterdrumma THAT's who it is, thank you. Thomas Pridgen was the only name coming to mind but I knew it wasn't him.
"a guitar conversation" very well said statement
God! that "guitar conversation" stuff gave me goosebumps! This is one of the best 22 minutes of my life EVER!
the amount of talent on that stage. That stage will never be the same. faces were melted.
9:15 is one of the grooves things I’ve ever heard. Been stuck in my head for days!!
Paul is a great person to everyone he meets. That how he is in everyday life. He loves playing guitar and wouldn't hesitate to help give you guidelines with your playing. But he's encouraging just as well. He never says this is how you do it. I do it this way and it helped , it may help you I don't know but give it a try. He knows his theory. He played already but went to Musici Institute which was called Guitar. Institute at the time. Since then he's taught many lessons there, written many articles for guitar magazines and still even if doing shows around the world takes time from his schedule to give online lessons or tips to playing. He's lost a great deal of hearing esp on the high end that's is why he where's the headphones while playing so everything can be adjusted to his hearing. Paul is a extremely warm hearted soul who still to this day is learning and practicing new things or going back relearning things he's forgotten over the years. How many people of his stature admit to watching youtube to see how a song is played? I've never heard anyone say it except him. Like he'll tell you were always learning it never stops.
Great players.. shows Paul can hang with anything. Love his passion for other players too. He digs the hell out of great phrasing when other players play it and it inspires him.
Amazing! Guthrie has for a long time been my favourite player, but these two are a match made in heaven, legends.
Hi, the bass player is Kelly Lemieux and the drummer is Rodney Holmes.
Thanks!
One of the best jams between a guitar hero and Guthrie - Gilbert has surprised me in recent years with his openness stylistically, his obvious passion for continuing to learn the instrument and his fantastic, fun-loving stage presence and absolutely fluid and seemingly-endless riffing, makes for a perfect 'conversation' with Guthrie, who ... well, nothing needs to be said.
Bam! I agree.
Racer x was mind blowing...and he’s just continued to improve. Love that guy
So true! I’ve loved seeing some of the slide stuff he has been doing.
when you reach this level there is no "better" its just preference
indeed my friend
most definately
peaceinstead If they invited buckethead on stage then there would be the 3 best guitarists ever
@@Person-cv9dj Buckethead LOL I love your sarcasm lol
@@TDE-76 well if you think that i am being sarcastic then your favorite guitarist is probably dog crap at playing guitar. Seriously he played something that shawn lane said is impossible to play
That has got to be the best rendition of Cheap Sunglasses that I have ever heard anyone but ZZ Top do it justice.
Two phenomenal guitar players just jamming. Pauls has awesome stage presence.
Guthrie is a genius there’s no doubt about that but I love Paul’s playing over a lot of artists bcos he plays the traditional rock n roll and no one does it like Paul.
I think both players are excellent. At this stage you cant say one is better than the other. In my teens I used to listen to Paul, Yngwie, Batio. Then slowly turning towards Greg Howe, Ritchie Kotzen, Brett Garsed etc. Now I listen to Allan Holdsworth full time. They are all good in there style. PG comes from a Neo classical , Heavy Metal ,Blues background. Guthrie is more from Jazz ,Jazz Fusion and plays every style possible invented. Paul has kept his style were Guthrie is constantly evolving. Both of my main inspiration to practice. There both amazing in there style and are super down to earth.
Nick Le Guern it's nice to see richie kotzen getting recognition :)
+Nick Le Guern You're having a hard time with the word 'there'.
*They're* both amazing in *their* style.
+mano a mano they are all different words... 'there'=place; they're= they are; their = possession.
Miguelitsss
Yeah, dig it. But don't tell me; tell Nick LeGuern.
Yup. Well said.
Two amazing guitar players ! Thank you Paul Gilbert and Guthrie Govan !
I was there and it was BEST NIGHT EVER !!!
I was right behind uu.. It was phenomenal..
Lucky dogs..
holy fuck! I envy you my friend. In a good way...
paul has a genius way of phrasing! just superb
I totally agree...his phrasing is like chatting...but guthrie's phrasing is like arguing😂😂
guthrie playing with steve vai and joe satriani doesnt go well together but these two guys are made for eachother man
Best guitar tandem.
Your comment was spot on! I'd love to see these guys play together more.
Hell yeah. Both have a clear focus on the groove and dynamics. They obviously shred to hell but it's not the be all and end all.
Its because Gilbert is humble and not egotistical like Vai. Paul is actually trying to enjoy the music and jam the way music is supposed to be
Brian Dos you should check out Vai a bit more, he's not as bad as you think, he's actual quite humble which surprised me.
To all people thinkin who's better, i say this: Paul Gilbert's prime time was late 80's and 90's. By then, every guitar player in the world immediatly recognized him as an out of this world prodigy. Probably the best. I'm pretty sure Guthrie looks at him as an idol and grateful for the experience. It's Guhtrie's reward by achieving a seat at the guitar gods table. I'm sure he feels it as each one of us would. Guthrie is a breath of fresh air and a consolidated beast amongst shredders, you may say he's the "flavour of the month". But my god, don't forget your roots and heroes when you're climbing your guitar journey. Guys like Gilbert, Petrucci, Vai, Satch, EVH, Slash, Malmsteen, B. May, have decades of awesomeness combined and inspired EVERY single rising guitarist ever since.
Well said
Perfect my friend! Perfeito meu amigo!
Totally agree😎🤘
The force of Guthrie and Paul performing together is enough to bend space and time.
I know it's not a contest and that both are top-tier, but Gilbert has a better sense of time and playing in the pocket that gives him an edge. Fun video for sure--thanks for uploading it!
Clearly enjoying jamming and talking together, great to watch two masters have fun
I've had the chance to see both Gilbert and Govan playing live but with their respective bands. Seeing these two monsters together onstage must have been mind-blowing, especially showing they are, at least apparently, such nice guys. Thanks for sharing!!
Paul is such a good soul and a joy to listen to. His excitement has stayed with him
He was known as the guy who could steal all your licks with relative ease and then play it back to you cleaner in his way..
He has a huuuge repository of licks in his head to make up for his shredder sense... That's why he's always so confident at improvs, always quoting other player's licks..
Even though he had to use 2 handed tapping for Lane, he could still copy Shawn Lane stuff...
He has all that stored inside him
1-800-BAD-ASS!!!....Best jam I've seen in years!.....You can't ever post too much of this Music Church!
That was seriously awesome. Neither was trying to show each other up, and they were just having FUN. That's what it's all about!
They should make an album together. It would be the ultimate masterpiece!
10:43 is where it's at.
So ur back again
You just can't watch that without a huge grin on your face.
As Wayne and Garth would say, “we are not worthy”. Guthrie is a guitar god…
hands down best improv 'guitar battle' I've seen, period :D
Two amazing artists playing together! Both of these guys are next level in talent and humility.
Wow not an unintentional note. Guthrie's playing gave me chills a few times, his phrasing is insane
This may well be one of my favourite renditions of this song. Listening to Guthrie and Paul "converse" so well back and forth is absolutely tremendous.
The level of fluency of these two guys across styles combined with such hyper technical ability is just jaw dropping. I love Govan's zen like personality contrasting with Gilbert's enthusiasm which is also represented in their playing.
Paul Gilbert has a lot of emotion in his playing and he seems to enjoy playing. I like that. I use to listen to him in the 80's and 90's with other guitar heroes like Toni McAlpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joey Tafolla, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Vinnie Moore, Steve Morse, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen. Good times.
Why does it have to come down to who's better? Paul certainly at the end of the day has had more commercial success than most shredders. He's an icon, and Guthrie is simply other worldly. I love the world in which I love, having them both as an influence.
+Jonathan Hesbol Ego always has to point out what it believes is not enough because it never considers itself enough. It's always searching and never finding. Is automatic and only awareness and love stop it.
One of the best guitar conversation I have ever heard..
It's fun to watch specially when you can see that they both genuinely enjoy playing with each other and the other one not feeling inferior or insecure of Guthrie's godly guitar prowess. I know it's Paul Gilbert but Guthrie is just on a different tier.
Holy Sons of Lemmy !!!..one of the best ...if not the best video i have seen in a long time..... !!!! that first conversation took me a long time to get over (4 repeats)
The musicianship of everyone on stage is stellar!
I don't know what rock I've been living under, but I need more of this in my life. I can't get enough of either of these guys. Really cool that a couple of master shredders are serving the groove and showing great taste and restraint, no toes getting stepped on. That, to me, is what musical greatness is.
Listening to Guthrie is a treat every damn time.
Two of my favourite guitarists since ever. They are on the top of the guitar chain. And what awesome attitude by Paul to give some time to Guthrie to play his song. It would be awesome to be there and to actually meet those guys while they're enjoying beer. The chemistry was awesome and they had loads of fun while jamming.
That drummer and bassman I would take on the road anytime... Stellar musicians 😍
All the heads that I see in front of
me. you’re living my dream. I watched this as a uni student years ago and it still inspires me :)
2 humble guitar gods.. with the highest skill level... :)
I found this video and every musician in it to be enjoyable! What a pure pleasure to see people having fun on the stage and playing such intense, brilliant music.
Thanks for posting. Really enjoyed this because you can tell they really still find joy in each note. Also, nice to see the class of both as they complimented each other instead of trying to out play one another. Finally, really enjoyed how they took it "out" just a little near the end with the note choices and away from the pentatonic notes.
That was a great night....each night of the camp the band was doing their "amazing thing" what a delight to hear them all. I attended the dress rehearsal for WAVES and it was one time through the tune- Guthrie crouched down for the "piano" sections to give Rodney Holmes (drums) and Kelly Lemieux ( bass extraordinare) the cue to play softer. This was a great event.
that transition paul did from 9:35 - 9:55 was so smooth
One of the most enjoyable guitar moments to watch and hear. Both musician are so great in their own style.
La frase de govan del 9:15, wow y más wow, hasta Gilbert no se resistió a ese groove y empezó a bailar.
What a cool little bar gig....Portland, maybe? Great attitude onstage.
Guthrie is on another level
Back again 2023 . Lol love to see these two guys jam again.
This is just incredible stuff..Paul Gilbert and Guthrie Govan in the same room jamming..wow
omg, two of my favorite guitarists in one stage! This is absolutely amazing! love their tones!
This guys have an endless inspiration!..... and a super cool talent! They're geniuses👏👏👏🤘🤘
Just WOW my guitar heroes!!!! What a treat I wish I could find myself in these situations watching two of the most iconic guitarist of all time
Well, I've been lucky enough to meet both these gentlemen a few times now and seen them play many times more, and I can say for sure that they are two of the most intelligent, creative, interesting & also for the record pants-wettingly funny guitarists ever. The respect they show for each other by actually listening before playing should be a great lesson to all, in particular young musicians who are about to start playing in a band. Yes, it's true, Listening actually makes you rock harder! :D
Man that guitar convo was so much fun to watch
Two of the very best. Paul's feel is breathtaking, as is Guth's technical/fun prowess.
Love Guthrie's bends. And Paul Gilbert's enthusiasm... always looks like he's having a great time!
Paul's tone is just sick..Those single coils on that Ibanez i tell ya..
He rolls back the tone on his guitar like all the way, I swear haha.
This is the musical version of what I must imagine it would be like if two ultra geek scientists were privately showing off their most geeky treasures and discoveries to each other... I absolutely love two people geeking out on each other :)
Well you ain't seen nothin' yet. There are numerous other guitarists who light years way better than these two. And Paul G is no geek. He just plays blues rock in ultra speed.

I'm terribly tired of the useless critic lurking around every turn online. Paul Gilbert has a wonderful sense of musicality, his much-lauded technique aside. His phrasing is great. His rhythm playing is world-class, and I think it's perhaps his most interesting quality as a musician. Guthrie is a masterful player who never took a formal lesson.
What defines a 'geek'? There are 'jazz geeks', as an example, but a lot of jazz is too frenetic to be comfortably listenable at length -- and I say that as one with an open mind, broad interests, and yes, excellent taste. You could push a piano out of the window of a penthouse jazz club and it would play every note it's capable of producing once it hit the pavement, but would that qualify as 'jazz' or music of any kind? Some douchebag 'geek' would likely call it progressive and great.
"There are numerous other guitarists who light years way better than these two. And Paul G is no geek. He just plays blues rock in ultra speed."
Okay. Name the "numerous", and while you're searching to compile a legitimate list, spend some time listening to the Classical 'rip-offs' that Paul has included on many of his albums of "...just blues rock in ultra speed."
In the final analysis, it's ALL about subjective taste, and tasteless assholes are entitled to their opinions. As Duke Ellington said, "If it sounds good, it is good."
I say geek lovingly, enjoy music subjectively and view it and all opinions surrounding it as merely the feelings of a person being expressed (we're all just people), and see absolutely no point in trying to rate musicians. Its as silly as arguing, with bullet points, why green is a FAR superior color to stupid, stupid purple :)
I like what I like and love seeing people love what they love... to me, thats geeking out... And Paul and Guthrie WAY geek out on each other :) We're all just lucky enough to watch and listen... If you're watching and listening for that sort of thing, of course ;)

Guthrie Govan is the only guitarist I've ever seen that could go toe to toe with Buckethead. Gilbert does seem to rarely venture out of blues/rock/metal these days, but he's just doing what he WANTS to do, it doesn't mean he can't play in other styles, if you've followed him, you'd realize he's veeery diverse himself.
Govan and Gilbert - both are amazing guitar players. Nuff said.
Love these two guys . Too much fun , great attitudes always and blazing face melting guitar playing .
Paul’s lick at the 12:27 or 12:28 mark. Gosh what genius and incredible musicianship.
Great playing from both here! But that’s a fairly simpel diminished (octotonic scale) lick. Always works if you run out of ideas ;-)
Excelent guitar players !
Man, Paul is so good at these jams. He's perfectly clear with when he lets other play, and when he takes the impro stick, and most of his lines are relatable musically - you can hear it really well around 10:30 where they exchange lines which start on the similar note. He creates a conversation, and it's a great listen. I only wish he would include the rhythm section in the impro.
TWO OF MY MOST FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy fucking shit im drinking beer tonight!!
nice username, im a huge fan of xmen myself..if you know what i mean.
***** your mom made that up? lol
i envy you bro, i really do.
+the TRUTH hahahaha. what a comment.
Man this guitar battle will last all night with all these different licks thrown at eachother each one being better than the last.
They are the 2 best to ever exist fullstop. Paul just takes it for me but probs helps that he let me play him a bit of "curse of castle dragon" and "into the night" on his pgm after the gig i watched him at in Bristol about 14-15 years ago 🤯🥴
this recording is very valuable!!!!! my favourites guitar players in the world!!!!!! PLEASE REPEAT IT!!!!
Great to see the humility of two of the finest modern guitar players of our era. There is a joy of playing and sharing that is a good example for all the cynical wannabees from hell that feel they have to make a snotty remark on your to "sound good" :)
I totally agree and subscribe to what you just said. These two folks are true gentleman's are an example of how humble guitarists should be. Along with, for instance, Andy timmons those guys can really do useful and instructive teaching videos rather than showing off their skills like Yngwie Malmsteen did in one of his vids. Amazing performance
You are missed asimcangunduz. Rest in peace
I can watch this video over and over again and learn something new with every viewing. Amazing players.
Damn, every minute gets better. The use of dynamics, modes, harmonizing shit on the spot, this is true musicianship at it's finest.
This was top notch! I really dig both Paul Gilbert and Guthrie Govan and it was great to see them together. ZZ Top is one of my all time favorite bands so the song selection was a real treat too.
Love the Miles quote by Govan at 9:30. It worked perfectly.
PixxyLixxx It ought to be added that the song is Jean Pierre (so that non-Miles fans can have an excuse to check out some new stuff)
what a low key legendary evening for the audience
:)
You legend.
+Paul Gilbert lol, only you... You should come to dinner at my place sometime, my fiancé's a pretty darn good cook, and you can tell me what its like being a guitar god lol
+Paul Gilbert Paul you probably don’t remember me, we had lunch with Ian Campbell and a few other musicians after you did a guitar seminar up in Litchfield county back in July of 2008. I am pretty sure I mentioned Guthrie Govan to you back then , this was just before he became well known. We were talking about amazing players that I would watch on You Tube. It’s great to see two of my favorite guitar players doing this on stage together.
+Paul Gilbert YOU SUCK!! No wait a minute, I forgot, I'm just really really jealous and realize that I could never ever be as good as you are. So, I take it back, you don't suck, I'm just really insecure.... ;-)
No one has a conversation in G with Guthrie and gets away with it.
I am sorry Monsieur Gilbert
I been playing guitar for 20 years and my mouth is still open watching them play
Paul gilbert was the first player that inspired me.
Guthrie is real talent and paul is great
Gotta love these comments saying this is boring. When I watch this, I see two musicians on stage working off of each other, exploring things, and having a lot of fun. To me, that's beautiful.
Learn to listen to the blues, kids. Then come back to this video. You'll appreciate it a little more ;)
