- We are very pleased to be allowed to show you this trailer from a new documentary which is in the latter stages of completion. The subject is primarily vintage guitars and good old Guthrie is seen playing a few beauties throughout the film. We asked for a version that we could host on our TH-cam channel which had a good chunk of the Guitar master at work. We also have had the honour of contributing to the musical side of this fab film with tracks from our JTCGuitar.com shop.
Spot another of our contributors in the film, Guitar Techniques Editor Neville Marten. Neville not only being a fantastic blues guitarist and world respected magazine editor, he is a walking encyclopedia of guitar history!!
Many thanks to Stephen Nugent who directed this film and graciously allowed us to host this sneak preview at such an early stage.
If you are new to Guthrie Govan please check him out at.....

yup, i know what you think..came here just to see Guthrie
jesus fking right
tooooo right, best guitarist of all time!!!!!!
Guthrie, from monstrous tapping arpeggios to delta-blues slide playing, Unbelievable.
I've never heard Guthrie play slide before.. There's nothing he can't play. Probably the best all around guitar player living.
Oh my goodness. No matter how many times I see Guthrie play, I can't help but love his "soul" the most. What an incredible player. I'd love to jam with him one day!
Guthrie doesn't play guitar. He has a conversation with it.
Jason Jasniewski i know him . I went to music college with an Ian Stronage -He was the best and i thought i was great . And then came Guthrie...I love him to death but i do like him playing vs Alex Hutchens as they both the new breed of ultimate ENGLISH guitarists as history will testify . ( god bless Gary Moore)
Guthrie Govan is just from the outer space... i have no words, he's absolutely the man!
That gibson at minute 7:10 is so good!! and the player is a guitar god!
Wow, that blues solo on the Les Paul .. holy sheeeet .. I'm not a "blues" fan per se but Guthrie can take something old and make it his own new thing
@checkoutthisblues Guthrie was using a 1966 Fender Princeton with an Analogue Man Sun Face Fuzz pedal in between. The amp was miked up next door and you are hearing the sound coming through the studio monitors with a bit of delay and reverb added at the desk. This is all being picked up by the mic on board the camera used to shoot the sequences. Incidentally the SG Junior is from 1961 and has a badass bridge fitted only for intonation accuracy. The original bridge is tucked away in the case!
So much absolute tosh. These men are guitar salesmen not musicians. You will notice how guthrie (the best player in the video IMHO) doesnt say anything.
he doesnt need too, he kicks too much ass.
hey folks!! Isn't Guthries slide playing at 8.32 absolutely amazing?!!?
Guthrie is a bluuuuuues guitarist now
Totally digging Guthrie on the Gibsons.
Tone and feeling was freaking amazing!!!!!!!
I hoped this video would never end :(
Slide job at the end is great!
I always wonder if that SG is his old SG he mentions so much
It's not, look up his "Stormy Monday blues lesson". That's the one :)
Thanks Greg!
Guthrie is fucking awesome... I dont need to say more...
This is awesome! Thank you for this!
Yeah , I wish he would record a blues session , we deserve it !
The phenomenon of vintage tones also applies to other instruments like piano and organ. No matter how the technology of synthesizers has evolved, most of keyboard players still looking for organic nature of pianos and organs, even that being through the samplers.
PS: Guthrie Govan always stands out from the crowd, no matter what style is.
Govan is a great bluesman. He should record a blues album
cheers buddy!
It sure is. If you visit our sister site JTC Merch you can order it from there with worldwide shipping.
Cheers
When Guthrie is playing the blues with the Les Paul notice how physically hard he's playing.
The notes just pop out cuz he plays with such force or at least that's what it seems like to me.
He's just plays everything so well I can't even believe it. I'd do anything for skills like that lol!
Timeless!
5:40 starts some crazy 1, 4, 5. outstanding!
Great idea
I could listen to Guthrie play that 355 all day and night.
Guthrie Govan is sublime.
love the Stormy Monday type blues on the Les paul.
What's said from about 7:36 is misleading
In 1954, a Fender Stratocaster retailed for about $250. Accounting for inflation, that would be about $2200 today
In 1959, a Gibson Les Paul retailed at about $265, while a Les Paul Custom retailed at about $395. That would be about $2100 today for the Standard and about $3100 for the Custom. A case would be $350 extra
These instruments weren't cheap nor readily available. It's more accurate to compare them to boutique guitars than production guitars
Yeah, they asked shawn lane to play on this documentary, but he couldn't do it because he's dead and all.
Guthrie, 6:35-6:45. I can't enough of his style
I saw this DVD & guitar tab book on eBay. Such cool vintage guitars!
Guthrie Govan knows slide? My god he became even more awesome
The real question is if there's something I can't do 😂😂😂
Guthrie is amazing , he can play whatever he wants!
awesome to the max
@LfunkeyA i'm glad somebody said it!
love it
Why do they forget to mention that Guthrie plays none of these guitars as a working musicians? Doesn't that kind of sum it all up for us?
first They're just keeping the mystique alive; as someone else said, they are salesmen, and for them, inflated old guitar prices mean a bigger pie for them to take a piece of. The guys in this video don't seem to know too much about actual guitars and guitar playing, but they have a strong agenda to convince us old=great and new=crap, but that is utter nonsense. Some old instruments are nice, others are crap, none are the holy grail, and in general, guitars made today are better.
The one dude lost all credibility early on when he made the idiotic remark that there are no real electric guitars anymore. The other dude lost it when he made the analogy between old violins and old guitars, to support the idea that you need an old one to get the special mojo only old guitars have.
I call bullshit on the writer, and everyone but Guthrie who appears in this pretentious mockumentary.
In English?
The SG jr is his guitar. (I am pretty sure at least, he has mentioned it before)
And he should start playing these types of guitars now because he has never sounded better!
came here just to see guthrie..when i first saw this documentary, i only like it because of the guitar playing in the background, but it all make sense when i came to know man behind the guitar was Guthrie..
@MiniDaab
thank you for the "govan-timing" !
I would REALLY like to see Guthrie and Derek trucks both using SG's and a slide. Same guitars, but different styles. Except the world would split in two from massive amazing-ness.
That 335 with guthrie... just wow.
I want to hear Guthrie playing more in Jimi's style(that intro with the univibe is super)
Put GG on thumbnail, I'll click on it.
good govan
great video
Essentially, if you want a guitar that is as good as those original early 60s strats and Les Pauls and others... Just go to a custom builder and have them make you a guitar that fits your hands for around $3-4K. Now, going by that one guy's estimate, you have $16-17K left over to finish your rig, buy backup guitars, etc. Fair deal to me. I know, I know, the older guitars have mojo. Whatever. You'll get more mojo from a refinished early 60s strat that's had parts replaced (I.E. has been played like hell) topping out (Absolute maximum) at $7,000 than from a pristine once/week practice instrument from some old fart's collection.
Yep! So all the people that complain that Gibsons are to much money can shut up. They cost exactly the same now as they did then.
Guthrie is a true master
1:32 KICKASS what a sound !!!!!!
The statement with Violins regarding Tone is so bullshit. Guitars do not have a free vibrating top like violins. If you don't play a violin for a while you definitely hear the difference in digression of tone massively. Is pure physics.
I hate Guthrie when hes playing, he makes me feel dumb, inclusive he's intentions is oposite. He is so humble that is umbulivable...that is what attract me from him......!!!
@awemedinade no guitar made from the woods available today is great sounding. average sounding at most. it was before the guitar became easily available to the masses that wood could sound 'great'. it was when trees were left alone to grow and mature enough before they were cut, giving the wood its superb tonal characteristics. you can't sound like that nowadays, except if you have an old fireplace to use, like brian may did.
I don't feel that this video was made to be taken seriously but I do own a 67 strat and a 73 jazz master but I mainly play a $99 Ibanez from guitar center. Why? Because i don't have to worry about it getting dropped, stolen or people constantly asking about it or wanting to try it lol. But there is something to be said about that old tone. The wood and pickup windings just seem to get better and better as the years go on.
Like someone else said a good amp is where's it's at. I've played lots of Mexican and korean strats that played just as good.
It's a Fender Princeton from 1966
Man Guthrie can really play bro.
It's funny how they insist on the point that if you want to sound like #### you should have a guitar from the year ### and then you will get it :D
The tone is in the artist that plays the instrument.
Give Hendrix, slash, page, or vai a modern good quality guitar and They will make it sound amazing.
A good instrument is like a good car, its amazing by itself but in the right hands makes wonderful things.
The technology in shaping overall tone has not changed. You should read about the Stradivarius instruments to understand how vintage instruments can have what many professionals consider a "better" tone.
@pazzmodium you got what i said wrong. what i meant to say was that the wood from a tree being cut at 10 years of age is gonna be vastly different than wood from a 100 year old tree that was left alone 90 years to mature enough. wood sources in the old days were not the same as today. ever heard of fast-wood plantations? of course there where bad sounding guitars back then, that's because the locale plays another role in wood sound quality. luck is in there too. many factors..
just came here for the guthrie playing...
I challenge Guthrie Govan to play Classical Music!
Guthrie is the Zeus of Guitar Gods!
@awemedinade guitar quality is far better than what it used to be, yes that is true. but trees are cut too early due to massive demands and this affects sound character. wood maturity changes its cellular structure and thus its acoustic response. just like playing the guitar for many years along with it aging naturally changes the frequency response. its all on google, search it up.
@SkinnerSG
yes, it mostly is.
@toxicdooney Guthrie's friend Phil Holborne (himself originally a classical player) told me GG found he couldn't do classical. The lack of finger nails would be one problem, I would guess his tendency to outrageous spontaneous improvisation might be another. He certainly doesn't need anymore talents to prove his brilliance.
I've never seen Guthrie play a Les Paul before.
@brendon jefferson Its not a documentary on guthrie its a documentary about vintage guitars
"you couldnt buy a bad fender or gibson at THAT time..." :)
Watching GG again and again and thinking he's actually an alien ...
@voiceofreason79 I can see your point, and from a purely historical angle these guitars and tones are important for modern music, but I also think I know what upsets your 'friend' LfunkeyA so much - the observation that vintage seems to win the upper hand over proper musical ability. There are so many mediocre bands around that brag about the old equipment they used for their boring records, and sometimes it seems to be more important who plays the rarest guitar than who's innovative.
What does technology have to do with it? It's a musical instrument, not a computer
@LfunkeyA And who might you be? Nobody "should" or "shouldn't" do anything. If a person wants to lust after vintage gear, let them. It isn't pathetic; it's their personal taste. I agree that music should always be fresh and constantly recreated, but the tone used to create music is the preference of the player. Nothing for you to question, because everyone has different tastes. Respect that.
Old people trying to understand young people... Just don't. You'r time is passed and its ours now. We'll do music with the tools we have(technology). And it'll be great you'll see. And when i'm old, my IIbanez will have become vintage
I repair guitars and I have seen instruments that are anything from 20 to 50 years old. The problem is if you play any guitar for that length of time the wear and tear builds up. If an electric guitar of any age has not been regularly serviced it gets to the point where it is almost unplayable - worn out frets, finger nail divots in the fret board, all the metal parts get corroded and rusty and the electronics are unreliable. When players buy old guitars they usually need a complete rebuild, with parts replaced with new and a re-fret to make them playable. At one time in the late 60's it was perhaps true that if you bought a guitar from the 50's (only perhaps 10 years old) it would probably be better than the then current instruments. That is not the case now.
woahhh lick at 6:36 is insane
@sepultribe666 There's some really great-sounding Ibanez guitars out there, and good guitarists using them for a reason. Not the cheap stuff, though.
@sepultribe666 Quite the contrary, actually. A tree's a tree, and most of the kinds of wood available 60 years ago is available today. In addition, modern technology and materials have made guitars more reliable and great sounding than ever. Well, unless it's the really cheap stuff.
What was he using for overdrive with the hollowbody after the LP?
I really wanna know what amp he was running through! That LP was beautiful!
8:27 - 8:30 .. best statement in the whole video....
I understand the value of a vintage instrument and I'm not claiming they are better .. I've played an original Rhodes mark one keyboard for example, and wasn't crazy about the sound... but I understand the overwhelming value of that piece of instrument now a days and why.. I just think there's too much people thinking vintage is good while modern is just bad.. that's a big generalization
Fuck those guitars, I want Guthrie's hands and mind :D
It will out for sale on DVD in the next few weeks. Including transcriptions too. We will announce here when it's available or alternatively, sign up for our newsletter at jamtrackcentral.
@pazzmodium you can call this bullshit all you want, thats ok. not all people have the same sense of perception or the same hearing capabilities after all. gl2u
I love the guitar on 0:53!!! Its a killer! By the way, which amp is Govan using??? Sounds just amazing!
When will this be out? I have watched this a few times since release and wonder if it is actually available yet?
Not to mention the awful 7.25 radius on vintage fenders. You can't beat the mojo of an old guitar though :)
haha is that guthrie doing an ameican accent at the beginning?!?
I honestly find it hard to believe old guitars are better than those made today. We have more knowledge and better technology than we have ever had. Yet you still cant make a guitar like a 59 les paul. People are insatiable. What is more likely, its impossible to make a guitar like they used to or people have over-hyped to kingdom come? The latter would explain the insatiable part. I suspect its nothing but sensationalism.
@voiceofreason79 Caves were the very foundation of modern housing, but I'm very happy that we have moved on a bit, because I like my house a lot. The thing that annoys me most is that you claim that virtually every musician replicates the tones of our peers. As a guitar player for more than 30 years, I can assure you: I've never tried to replicate 50s or 60s music, because I neither liked the songs nor did I like the guitar tone, and since this is my taste it's nothing for you to question.
do u know what model gibson guthrie use at 7:05 ?es 390?
@voiceofreason79
i don't know, you tell me.
Dang so derek trucks
Whoever wrote the script should rewrite it. The electric guitar that was in commercial production in 1932 is only around 60 years old? That sure is good news for people born the same year, that thought they were more like about 83. I'd take out some of the pretentious nonsense too, like the part about people mistaking guitar necks for genitalia; sorry but that never happened. What you meant to say was guitars get used as phallic symbols, a fact that isn't worth mentioning even if you had said it correctly.
The one at 3:16 sound alot like Bonamassa.. But maybe it's just the genre
Guthrie looks and plays like a guitar Jesus.
Derek Trucks :D
Hi , is this documentary out yet ?? thanks very much
the thing is when wood ages after it has been cut it seems to sound better, why do you think really old violins are really really sought after because the wood has been vibrated and "broke" in some violins from over a hundred years ago cost as much as or more than most peoles houses, cellos are even more
