Greg Howe is a genre pioneer. He is a huge inspiration for many in the fusion scene and has been doing it for many many years. Guthrie is offcourse a genius and Alex one of my fab.
Love all 3 song much!! Just think Alex and Guthrie grew up listening and learning Greg! Greg is the true innovator, I find his style the hardest to play.....Alex my favourite guitar tutor! Guthrie was my fave educator for years! His feel is awesome taken every style and made it his own 💯Thank you all 3 guitar masters for your love ..Love you all

Guthrie has figured out the notes most appealing to human and with his unparalleled left hand technique while maintaining style is just god tier. How can someone be so good?
These you bucks are inventing techniques that Guthrie has never used. Not saying they're better, but we have to assume that the following generations will always produce new and innovative guitarists. It's not like humans get worse at creating art. It certainly isn't a contest, but in terms of shredding, I'm sure you'd agree that guitarists were not sounding like Guthrie at all -- we had to evolve to reach that tier of excellence. Tim Henson and Marcus King being total opposites but amazing. And the Asian Invasion of shredders is over the top insane.

Guthrie is on another level in my opinion. Few manage to remain truly melodic at speed yet he finds ways to insert these wonderful phrases in blisteringly fast runs. Other 2 are obviously outrageously good but Guthrie has a way of making my ears smile they can't match!
Have to agree... the musicality on Guthrie's playing is a step up on the other guys. The others are super talented for sure, but in terms of this particular shootout video GG wins hands down IMO.
Guthrie is much more emotional and fluid and on time. A great player also reacts to the drums and other players in a more dynamic way than just blasting through scales that aren't even that interesting anymore.
Yes, these are some good distinguishing qualities of GG for sure. That said, whose music is most impactful to you as a listener, overall? I would certainly say GG has created some beautiful music, but I think Howe's catalog is a lot deeper than GG'S and filled with some very beautiful music. For example, the "Introspection" album.
@@a.s.2426 I know what you mean. I listened to Guthrie's music for a bit and then moved on and haven't really gone back too much. I discovered him through his work with Steven Wilson, who isn't particularly a guitarist and has a catalog of beautiful music that I would is pretty impactful on me. I'm into all sorts of prog rock and jazz that is adventurous both cognitively and emotionally. I haven't listened to Howe very much at all but i'll definitely give him a listen.
@@Ritual_Gaze That is an interesting point. Thanks for sharing. I will have to check out Steven Wilson. I also have rarely come back to GG's music after the initial binge listening period of a few weeks. In that regard, it doesn't seem to be very timeless art, despite being technically impressive. It's still pretty good, of course.
Very distinguished. Absolutely with their own approach. Great pleasure to see them all! Guthrie - more phrase-oriented, Alex - I like his chromatism and whammy work, Greg -silky smooth lines. As for chrom …. I like them all!:)
How are the harmonics at the end of the Govan solo played? Is that a difficult technique? I can't understand how it's done. How are the notes being plucked or how is the string making a sound I only see him sliding the edge of his right hand. Is the left hand doing artificial harmonics? Are they all on the third fret?

When I listen to Alex I can see influence of Frank Gambale (sweep and econom picking technique style), Steve Vai (melodic, legato, tapping), maybe also a little bit like G.Benson, Y.Malmsteen, and other. Plus Alex is most musical guitarist, his playing is great mix good technique and nice melodies. For my ears is better combination, than rest guitarists. Imho.
govan is always the most musical melodic shredder. no matter at what speed he is playing. everything he does is so musical and beautuful to the ear. one of the very few shredders that dont bore me at the 3rd song. Govan always plays tasteful music , most shredders only show off nonsense.... imho.
"govan is always the most musical melodic shredder" - talk about bias and inability to judge objectively. You should judge based on what you hear not your knowledge of who is playing.
Greg was doing this stuff from the early 80's when there were no resources, no internet, no complicated gadgets and no gizmos. Such a pioneer to the Jazz Fusion genre. ❤🙏
Alex hutchings is always on fire when interms of improvising and playing live he mastered gambale's sweeping, progressions and phrasing! Guthrie Govan a wizard on guitar The Aristocrats band released all of his mind blowing skills! Greg Howe the innovator! you can see Alex and Guthrie's influence to Greg a very unique guiter hero in this modern times!
Technical skill ranking (how difficult it is to learn to play the same lines as cleanly as they are executed by these guys): Govan, Hutchings, Howe. Emotional impact of music (i.e. compositional skill) ranking: Howe and Govan (very slightly in second), Hutchings (very distantly in third). In the final analysis, I think the latter category is much more important than the former.
All three is a guitar God, if you looking for: Blues-Rock (funny licks) kinda style listen to guthrie Funky-Rock = Greg Howe Jazz-Rock = Alex hutchings It's all about your preference and musical knowledge, if you are rare to listen to jazz music ofcourse you won't listen to Alex, it's that simple
From a guitar mastery perspective - technique, timing, phrasing then AH is by far the clear winner. Faster and cleaner than GG and rips outrageous 6 string sweeps (GG's sweep picking is very limited). From an influence perspective - GH takes the win and has been a rock/fusion legend since the 80s. For a uniqueness perspective - GH wins again. From a fanboy perspective, gaining plaudits because just assume he's going to be the best and so are operating out of prejudgement and expectation - GG wins.
For me its greg howe, hes about musical expression with class, Guthrie is in 2nd place and my god he is good! Alex is also great player but he just doesnt do it for me. if i had to sit back and listen for a few hours, it would be greg every time, guthrie i can listen for a while and loose interest. alex i might go a track or 2. im afraid that at the end of the day its about the music.
Obviously Guthrie has won guitar but there’s no shame in being an honourable runner up. Rumour has it that Guthrie’s music is played on repeat in the elevator that takes you to the pearly gates.
Alex has tasteful and amazingly clean sound, which is a big deal. Also his improvisations sound more "complete" compared to many others in this league.
Yeah, my opinion as well. His phrasings are always so solid, he has an enormous feeling and musicality. No one sounds so pleasing to me like Alex. He is my favorite.
Vejo três feras indomáveis na guitarra, com estilos distintos. O Greg só de ouvir eu sei que é o Greg. Não ouço muito os outros dois mas tbm acredito que quem curti pode ouvir qualquer um tocando que vão saber quem é. 👏👏👏
All three of them have spent years perfecting their licks and inventing their unique sound and style. Greg is Senior in terms of having innovated so much of that Fusion style even before those Proto Cosmos days. Hutchings is brilliant in his legatos and jazzy voicings. He IS awesome indeed. Guthrie, what do i say :( He aint human to begin with. He knows the fretboard and what notes would pull your heart out n jaw drop even without you knowing it. i end here. No set of words would serve enough to speak about him lol!!!!!!!!
Wow comparing these 3 is a real tough one. All 3 can do it all. Guthrie is very unique, as are Howe’s phrasing and note choices but Hutchings is my slight favorite bc his playing is so exciting.
I have always loved Greg´s music. I recently discovered Guthrie who I find to be an upgraded version of Greg. They both use similar scales and choose similar paths, it´s just that Guthrie seems to know more of everything so he can add more variety. He´s played some lines I have never heard anywhere else. Also, Guthrie´s pinky is more active than Greg´s (Sorry Greg you are amazing too, I keep listening to all of your records you are a genius!) Yes, it´s true, Greg´s groove is freaking out of this world!
Both Alex and Guthrie have amazing skill. I follow Alex more, I've followed him since the early days for the Boss demos he's done. Guthrie I respect but feel like sometimes he is a little too scales based whereas Alex, similar style but his phrasing is more exciting to listen to and watch.
I understand your viewpoint and I like all three guitar players. However, I suggest if you watch enough of Guthrie’s videos I hope it will change your mind that Guthrie isn’t really just scales based. He has video lessons about breaking out of scale boxes and is a master improviser when soloing. Otherwise that’s just my 2 cents and all are phenomenal players.
Different style of songs so we cannot use these videos to "compare" who had the best frasing/idea or melody developed. Check out videos of Alex Hutchings playing jazz, smooth jazz, pop, country and many more. He is such a master on each style, playing with the appropriated "accent".
Tough call! Although Guthrie is a 'guitarist's guitarist' Greg's technique started me down my tapping path many moons ago! I've gotta tip my hat to Greg!
These are my 3 favourite guitarists ever, with the exception of Jimi of course. i have had the honour of meeting Guthrie and talk/comment regularly with Alex on YT about his videos and music. They are just beyond amazing. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸✨✨
Greg Howe, all the way. He didn’t just play a flurry of notes. He played with soulful groove, ‘feel’ & …wait for it …’musicality’. Guthrie was second. Very technical & melodic. Alex ….meh. Acrobatics for the sake of acrobatics, with no ‘soul’, or sweetness.
I never compare Alex, Greg Howe and Guthrie. They just mastered their own style and techniques. These three are such great musicians. Love them all.
right. but for my ears, Guthrie's guitar is too planky, mid- and bassless, Howe's video sucks bc of the recording equipment
😀So many opinion here well i love them all but just as you all have your own favourite guitarist, mine is allan holdsworth and shawn lane.... 😁

Different style of songs so we cannot use these videos to "compare" who had the best frasing/idea or melody developed. Check out videos of Alex Hutchings playing jazz, smooth jazz, pop, country and many more. He is such a master on each style, playing with the appropriated "accent".
GOATHRIE HANDS DOWN
that's nice?
Ron Bumblefoot Thal?
Cara,isso não merece competição...os cara são monstro,
Os caras são muito feras mesmo.
Greg Howe is the best
GG!

I just put them in alphabetical order .
So
Alex wins
Greg Howe all the way....
Yeah, but can ya dance to it
Tough call! Although Guthrie is a 'guitarist's guitarist' Greg's technique started me down my tapping path many moons ago! I've gotta tip my hat to Greg!
I always say Guthrie, but damn, I had forgotten about Greg Howie. Greg is incredible.
Melodic Guthrie
Hutchings is impressive. Howe is groovy and impressive. Govan is EXPRESSIVE.

Greg Howe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Greg is Unic!!!!!
Greg Howe for me.
Alex........His phrasing is fucking INSANE...
HE does NOT get the credit he deserves
Govan wins!

Greg Howe
These are my 3 favourite guitarists ever, with the exception of Jimi of course. i have had the honour of meeting Guthrie and talk/comment regularly with Alex on YT about his videos and music. They are just beyond amazing. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸✨✨
Howe.
Greg Howe, all the way. He didn’t just play a flurry of notes. He played with soulful groove, ‘feel’ & …wait for it …’musicality’. Guthrie was second. Very technical & melodic. Alex ….meh. Acrobatics for the sake of acrobatics, with no ‘soul’, or sweetness.
HOWE
