I shared a beer with Guthrie a number of years ago and was pleased to share his wit and humour! Great person and wonderful musician. I appreciate him taking up the trade!
That he can pull this off live is just incredible....
The Trick...Is to see the entire Neck as just one scale and they ALL CONNECT! All Phrasing and Scales and Techniques!
Such amazing control over the instrument
Annoying, isn’t it?
And he’s been playing like this for years, beyond amazing.
I was there haha. It was awesome 🤘
I was not there🥲but it was awesome 🌝
I don't usually buy into who is the best guitarist on the planet (too many styles with great players in each), but if I did, he would get my vote as its hard to imagine any one can do what he does any better!
Shawn Lane!
What do you guys think of Max Ostro and Matteo Mancuso?
Their hero is Guthrie Govan.
@@rowglider231 I actually think Matteo has an edge on him
@@gregdemeterband he said himself no one is better than shawn
Thats what makes him so interesting. There are certainly masters of different styles but guthrie is able to seemlessly switch between them and blend them together. Hes a musician first and one of the most technically skilled guitarists ever second.
Out of this world. I saw him live in a pub about 10 years ago. Such a nice and humble chap.
It's that picking hand that's magic and omg the bending 🤯 absolutely insane
Masterful, melodic, this is the joy of music.
Mesmerizing!
So amazing
Wish he would do more with Steve Wilson. Amazing player.
Magic is an apt word for his playing.
A flowing, sprightly melody masterfully delivered. If only sound quality were better.
Remember Allan holdsworth talking about funnels and describing how his approach to what he was doing,how he used his instrument.He explained that he thought of the word the same way you could talk about a surgical instrument,something like a tool that you could use precisely to produce a very defined outcome.It’s about the music and the sounds and the instrument is the vehicle.The same way you might use a pen to write a love letter,it’s not about the pen.Guthrie seems very like that.The technical virtuosity is so complete that he’s thinking only about sounds.The how to is a given
hey now .. ! ..
Stop with all this bullshido; He cant do anything that Vai, Satriani, Yngwie, Holdsworth etc cant do. He’s just last in line, thank you

Get a grip; this guy just came through the ranks yesterday; the other guys were masters and doing this sht in their teenage years; hes no virtuouso fanboy; just a regular run off the mill; heck we have teenage youtubers playing his genre; wake up to some reality; theres a body of work by these masters this guy can barely get a look in;
@@krillinroshi9312 you’re a bit of a silly billy aren’t you.Steve vai and joe satriani don’t ask you to tour g3 if you’re a nobody
Just on a different level !
Enjoyable to listen too !!
genial wie immer!
Love his tone, and his vibrato.
Do You Play as well??
@@gregdemeterband hell no! Just someone who appreciates fantastic playing, creativity, and ARTISTRY!♥️
He`s fucking brilliant !!!!
Number one.. Guitarist star.!
I've been playing 2 months and my grandma says I'm great, I can take this guy
I briefly met Guthrie at a winter NAMM 06 just hanging out at the suhr booth down stairs no one else around. Had no idea who he was or how well he played. Nice guy! talked about Suhr guitars for a brief minute then he plaid some riffs and I was blown away! Funny thing is he plays and looks the same now as he did back then.
👑👑❤ u rock
wow
КРЕПКИЙ МУЗЫКАНТ, БРАВО!!!
Guthrie is off the charts good. He can play anything and a real nice guy as well.
went to Moscow to see him life. My back then 11 yr. old kid now has backstage picture of him with Guthrie and the rest of the crew - Gergo Borlai and Anton Davidyants - hanging on his wall.
Once in his childhood he had fallen in the bowl full of guitar practice. Since then he dont need to do it anymore!
Same thing as happened to Obelix
I mean, to put that all together?! Wow!
God level 🤘🏻
And even alive Steve Vai, & EVH from beyond the grave...Both shed a tear.
He is astounding and always musical - such a shame he is wasted in the instrumental genre where few people will see or hear him play. If he had been in a band permanently, doing songs, he would be massively more appreciated.
Holy fuck this guy is amazing.
Maestro ... and that's it
I can hear EVH's Jump in it.
Brilliant stuff.
oh yeah, nice catch!
The best so far
I'm 60. Dude is amazing.
I’m 30. Yeah he is awesome. But why does our ages matter?
@@donnaillingworth2311 age? Guthrie has a wide age range of appeal. Still love my Di Meola, Hendrix, Morse, Schenker, Beck, etc...
The best of the best.
Haha what a joke.
Mancuso eats him for breakfast:)
@@davidderoux7552 Nah
Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! he really gets into it \o/
String bending and dexterity on another scale!
One of the best. I really dig this guy. Maybe thee best. He slays
Like this guy is a Living Guitar 🎸 Legend 😨😕🤦🏻♂️
This is not magic!! This is a direct result of hard work and determination!! This musician simply made a decision to work on his craft long and hard and wise enough to execute a performance of this level skill ……….🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😳😀
dude, it's obviously not magic, but he's not the only one who put in the hours. If that was enough, there would be a lot more like him.
@@martinpaddle
I’m not taking anything away from anyone and yes of he has peers as do all musicians.The point is there is no mystery or magic just hard work and focus.
Lol according to Guthrie he didn't practice a lot
Holy Crap, First of all!
But, Wow! I hear so many Fusions he must be welding a Great Magical Mirror of Melodic Funk!
That's all for now, Folks!
Guthrie has left the rest of humanity behind a long time ago.. it's possible that he's Jesus🤔
hes just a person playing a musical instrument. lighten up bruh
@@truescotsman4103 lot's of folks play musical instruments..but not like that.. he's transcended beyond the realm of us mere mortals 😉
@@shredphreek still hyperbolic. he has a lot of talent and is very skilled. lots of players play like him or near. im super impressed but you have to allow yourself to see him as a mortal and what he does as just another thing humans do or you're making it impossible for yourself to reach your full potential. learn from him and try to grow as a musician rather than idolizing him and making it seem like what he's doing is impossible or a feat of magic. hes' amazing im a pro player i get it. he really inspires me to work on my legato and my stretches. other players make me want to do neoclassical sweep picking. take a look at Igor Paspalj, Max Ostro, Tom Quayle, Panos Arvanitis and Cesario Filho. Be prepared to be compltely blown away.
@@truescotsman4103 I think maybe you're taking my original comments a bit too literally..there was an ounce of humour involved you know😉 and yes, Max Ostro is on another planet as well😬
@@shredphreek i see the humor its hyperbolic. just offering advice. i used to worship eddie. hes a person. i got over it.
I agree . I think in time Guthrie is the best technical guitar Player . Buts not all . There are soo much Others who can Play with only one tune and Note a really great Performance
Saw him with ASIA....MAGIC !!
He broke the high E string at least five times here and changed it on the fly. Did you notice? Guess not, he`s just too fast.
Lol good one 👍 👏
Ha, you didn't even notice that part when he held the new string taut in front of the pickup between his left hand and his teeth, achieving pitches by varying the tension of the string before it was even attached to the guitar and adding cascading harmonics using his belly button outie. And still it was so musical!
@@MarsHalekGuitar gyg
@@bobbyggardner4985 gkxvdkbd
Bit of Marty Friedman in there too @1:53
My Katana sounded bad earlier in the day. Glad it jammed then and not now. And just who am I going to listen to after this?
He's opened his own Christ Consciousness Pineal Gland. ANYthings possible after that. As long as fear is dropped & Truth sought after. It ALL correlates to any kind of creativeness, or Musicianship. People that R stuck to their negative stored egos cant create very well-or not at all, only manipulate. Time to move it on up in Higher Consciousness if anyones going to chase this calibur of Player.
He can certainly play a bit that's for sure! No1 in my opinion
What a Guitar Monster! The tragedy about this is, if this were the 80's Guthrie would have been a "Guitar God & Virtuoso"... and he is, for sure... but most people I mention him to as a personal guitar inspiration say, " Who?... Who the hell is that?" What a tragedy... an absolute tragedy for talent such as this to go virtually unnoticed, for the most part.
In an effort to describe MOST "rock" guitarists these days I will simply say this, " Hey kiddies... learn to strum or bang out only 4 chords and yes, you too, can be a "Rock Star!" THAT, is why players such as Guthrie Govan go nearly unnoticed while guitar hacks who nearly fall off of their fretboards when given a solo section (which is why solos have been nearly non-existent since the early-nineties) are acclaimed as the best and "coolest" "players" on the planet today.
Guthrie is not only one of the greats, he's one of the most expressive, surprising and unique guitarists to ever play. I know great guitarists are not so great, popularity wise, because very few of them write pop/rock hits. EVH was one of the few who did so and maintained his image as a virtuoso and his originality while becoming popular in the "Hit World" at the same time.
If Guthrie were to do this today he wouldn't have a chance in hell... no matter how great a chance he had at writing a hit. Why? Because no one gives a d@mn about really good players anymore!
Would-be "musicians" want instant gratification that requires very little practice... and non-players want, for the most part cheap, easy and irregularly-fashioned verse (doggerel) they can hum to, sing along with, or something they feel would be easy to accomplish for them should they choose to go the route of an attempt at "Rock Stardom."
Anyone - even the least naturally-talented who should not ever even attempt to pick up an instrument - can learn to slam out 4-5 chords and pretend they are rock stars. But few and far between can master their craft and truly dazzle and entertain like Guthrie Govan and the few others with the talent he has.
The man is a "Monster", and a total thrill, at least for me, to listen to... no matter what he's playing or who he's playing with.
Wtf... you like to hear yourself talk me thinks
I totally agree. I remember in my playing days refusing to use a wha wha pedal as I felt that I wasn't good enough to use one. I see many guitarist soloing using their wha wha in ordor to compensate for their lack of technical ability. Learn to play properly first then bring out all the rock star sh!t and effects. Unfortunately today no one can tell the difference between noise and brilliance. Guthrie is a freak.
@@davekguitars No... but apparently some people have very small, as in "tiny" little attention spans... anything beyond the word "DUH" confuses them! Sound like anyone you know?
I know it's very difficult for some to concentrate more than the time it takes to post 9 complete words... and that probably wears them out!
Some people actually think before responding through life... others, well, others simply wander through life pretty much aimlessly... Me Thinks!
@@4GuitarTrance lol.. you are on TH-cam. Not writing a thesis . Don't assume because I think your speech is overkill that I have short attention span. It's called a time and a place. Lol.
I'll see your Covan and advise you of a wardingham replacement ; ) I like seeing good stuff
Maybe its just me but i hear some Marc Bonilla influence in some of his statements he makes in some of the runs and just odd licks he throws in there. Obviously he has more than 1 influence but i got the feeling of some Marc Bonilla style in there. Majorly outstanding performance indeed! 🤘 🤘
It's a shame we don't have radio airplay rap and MTV, took that away from us!!!
I am Not a rock guy, but I appreciate when the rock guys use compound meters. Nice use of 7
No idea if you're aware of it, or not- The name of this tunes is, in fact called "Sevens". He does another, equally brilliant one on his album "Erotic Cakes" called "Fives". Here it is: th-cam.com/video/-yPEewaalik/w-d-xo.html
@@RandyOLeary very musical.
The best guitarist that Megadeth have never had ( yet )
How do you remember all that every night??
When you give guitar to the witch
when a witch sweeps but not with her broom lol.
What amp is he using here?
great excp for the audio..
STOP PRESS: Extraterrestrial lands on the White House lawn and shows us the future of guitar playing.
If Carlsberg did guitar players.
why?))
The Paganini of our era!
Ever listen to Roman Kim?
@@stevenvinson1615 nope
The In between Melody was not there....The Electronic Medly is amazing...The End was ALL THERE! Blaster Master!
He should have stopped at 3:52 and said ''Sorry, you only paid for 8,000 notes. Good night'' then walked off.
Why does Guthrie have a sock or something around the guitar neck at the nut ?
It’s a neck wrap!! It mutes all open strings and makes tapping easier so the strings don’t ring out!!
His guitar needed several cigarettes after that.
Didn't he started as D cord child ?
Awesome axefx2 not 3🎸😊
So what you are saying is AXF makes the player and not the player makes the AXF
I think I am hearing a lot of Genesis in all of this dont you think?
He nicked those riffs of me.
Steve Vai ver 2.0
I gave this a thumbs up ! He obviously is a prodigy and I've listened to his instructional videos! But I.ve seen 17 year old guys in music stores play as well, (makes me want to sell my guitars) it's just a bunch of scales and arpeggio's played by a prodigy!!
Wow what the hell is that
That’s effin guthrie man
A complete master of his guitar.
Take a Minute and Figure It All Out....It's Not That Hard...If You know how to be Crafty and know what that is>>>>>>
It's ALL about how you MAKE the Guitar Cry, Sing, Express emotions...I can really Feel all the TOGETHERNESS
not boring ? ok !
D string is a little bit flat…😂
Thanks 👍🇸🇪😘
A thousand Tiny Nat notes reaching to????
Sounds like Steve Vai!
Steve Vai, albeit a fine player, does not connect on the same level. Govan is not a wanker, his phrasing starts and ends in perfect harmony. Vai on the other hand tries to show how fast he van play and comes off as a bit conceded.
....technique doesnt 'move ' ya...only form n feel.....
Alot of people seem to like American Idol and The Voice .. but the guitar IS my voice.
I don't play guitar, but to me I think playing with feeling is better than being technically perfect. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.
GG does both
Why not both?
Do you think he's not playing with feeling just because of his technical mastery? Do you lambast classical musicians with the same standard? What a stupid fucking perspective.
I can't feel anything,he made some wierd noises...
@@davidderoux7552 of course with your low IQ you can't... Stop trolling every Guthrie video with your hate.
great fingerstyle ..huge fingers to be jealous of as a struggling guitarist.. great concepts ..but guess what ..I wouldn't wanna live next door hearing the practice
I hear ah Ted Nugent influence
Great playing .
1/2 of his style you can thank EVH
I think R.Akers might be deaf 😂
It's embarrassing that people are comparing Max Ostro to Guthrie, he's ripped off his technique to the point it's not even original.
Technique wise he is there and give the 17 year old a little time to expand on his craft
Not embarrassing at all. Max is a monster. I think Guthrie would agree.
@@RudyJunior7 there's no point comparing players like Max Ostro, Mateo Mancuso, or Guthrie... they all have more skill than what they'll ever be able to put to good use, and it's silly to think of one as better than the other. Whether you prefer one or the other comes down to taste. What's important though is that they all can improvise... there are some very technically adept players out there who are not good at that, and that makes their playing less impressive
I agree they are all amazing players. Technical ability is the least impressive attribute to being a great musician but when you can improvise and have technical brilliance on top that’s what sets these guys apart. Shredding and saying nothing with it is boring.
It’s OK I suppose.
He is very good, amazing player. But when does the melody start?
when he starts hammering at about 1:10. its a pretty good one too.
When you get a new pair of ears
@@retire4444 don't be rude! Govan is a good guitarist, he even has some good solos on Steven Wilson's songs and River of longing ... but that's really boring...
@@davidderoux7552 Ayee even I have the same nickname man xD
To your point though, I really wasn't trying to be rude, it's just that Guthrie is one of the few players you can't call boring unless you have a very different musical diet or if you are unfamiliar with the fusion-esque musical landscape. He strives to keep things interesting all the time and that shows. But of course, music in itself is super subjective. But I'd say that I honestly wouldn't want anyone to give his music up until you've explored most of it.
Try the Culture Clash album by his band The Aristocrats
@@retire4444 no, I don't like The aristocrats...for me bands like Pink Floyd, Porcupine tree, Dream Theater...etc... are the real musicians. They wrote masterpieces that will remain in music history. I like every kind of music but it has to sent a message, emotions.
Ohhh my ears,,, oh noooo, please please don,t play again
Acrobatic but he can't create a melody.
He's a Steve Vai clone!
Steve's good, Guthrie left good and entered something completely different.
This man is the best guitarist I have heard.
Better than.........and them too.
@@christophersleight19 I cannot disagree.
Tumeni notes. I don't get it. Sorry, I would put my ear plugs in and go to sleep. I know this will piss people off. Guitar Olympics I guess.
He needs a bloody hair cut, seriously have a look at him...is he the best?
I dont know?
They come and go like seasons,
Can he sing? Write songs? Is he the complete package or just a lead guitarist?
Hmmm!
pity about the truly awful sound quality. I'll bet he is really good, but I can't tell from this.
Sorry to be a spoilsport but this is not pure magic, I would call this pure fret w..nk.
