Joe Elliot! He was there for my first and only panic attack in the 35 years of my life lol! I had him for Jazz workshop at MI and sucked at Joe's "connecting game", I ended up putting so much pressure on myself to be better at it for the final that I had a legit panic attack sitting in a room 1-on-1 with Joe. It was really embarrassing.
Managed to get tickets lasr minute to the Manchester Hans Zimmer gig. I was looking forward to the Lion King and Pirates of the Carribean segment. Also love the Man of steel theme tune, so I recorded the main part and stopped just before Gutherie's guitar solo. Let's just say it ended with me kicking myself for not continuing and dropping a few f bombs. Gutheries solo blew me away (and I'm not a guitar fan). I loved the rock elements and have a new found respect for that genre and Gutheries musicianship. I left with my favourite segments being Man of steel.

@@guitarspeakpodcast1383 You must go next time if you haven't already. It was amazing to see Hans and so many musicians who have mastered their talent on one stage. They were all so talented, but like I said Gutherie blew me away as I wasn't expecting it to be a show stopper. The final climactic note of his already powerful solo was awe inspiring. I don't know much about him but am surprised that he's not a well known household name. The Last Samuri (which also featured Gutherie) was also beautiful and took you on a wave of emotions. I had to take a deep breath at the end. It felt more like a concert than a show and the Manchester crowd were lively and cheeky (which I think Hans liked). 😜
Hi Matt, thanks for the shout out. It raised a cheer in the workshop., on this dreary monday morning. What can i say, we've listened to everyone of your podcasts. Keep up the great work. Congratulations on reaching 200 episodes. All the best to you in the future. Ray, Adam and Dave the Vampire.
Agree, top of the list, but there are other guitarists that could be a close tie. GG would be remiss if you left out Steve Vai. I'm also thinking Steve Morse, Buckethead and Yngwie. Also, there are a few pioneers that may not be shredders, but were amazing including the man Les Paul, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Jimi Hendrix (who else can make a strat sound like a war zone), Chet Atkins, and a few others I can't think of at the moment. Just my 2.4 cents worth.
Good question and I should have asked Guthrie why he went that way. He did say that he thought the bridge was the main cause of tuning issues, so locking it there makes sense. I know some players prefer the string tension without the locking nut. Some prefer to avoid the hassle of the hex wrench. Guthrie has locking tuners with staggered posts so the only potential danger zone is the nut. Most luthiers will say a well cut nut of quality material will work well. Can anyone else chime in here?
@@guitarspeakpodcast1383 I can't remember the source- but I think I remember him saying the locking nut design would scratch/cut his hand occasionally when he would slide back down to the lower frets. If I remember I'll post a link where I heard/read that. Thanks for this upload! Great interview! Edit: Here's the video th-cam.com/video/3dq-G5qzf8Y/w-d-xo.html
@@TheRealBenJammin Hi Ben - ah thanks, I see where you mean. What Guthrie actually says at around 4:50-ish is "everything else is a pleasant luxury, but it's not necessary". By "everything else" he is referring to visiting/sightseeing/pubs! in the cities in relation to his enjoyment of playing music with the ensemble and for the audiences. That's really the context he is sharing.
"Guitar, I kind of know, to some extent" - Probably the best guitarist ever
Yeah...the guitar is the interface \m/
Awesome! The world needs more Guthrie podcasts
Thanks Sean! I agree - the more Guthrie, the better :)

Great interview Matt. We listen to your podcast at work. Keep up the great work. From Ray, Abam and Dave the Vampire from Dudley in the UK
Thank you guys - really appreciate it! What kind of workplace allows nerdy podcasts?? ;) Much love from Australia
@@guitarspeakpodcast1383 i work at headstock distribution in the UK. We set and repair Ibanez for the UK market. Keep up the great work sir
Hey Ray - the Headstock crew got a shoutout at the end of this week's episode www.guitarspeakpodcast.com/e/david-agius-gsp-199/

Guthrieee!!!!!
Greatest guitarists of all time
Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane and Guthrie Govan. Period
Three transcendent players right there!

Finally someone who understands Guthrie's TRUE talent of his voice.
Thanks Joseito!
What are the benefits of not locking the nut? You alluded to them but didn't elaborate.
Good question and I should have asked Guthrie why he went that way. He did say that he thought the bridge was the main cause of tuning issues, so locking it there makes sense. I know some players prefer the string tension without the locking nut. Some prefer to avoid the hassle of the hex wrench.

I'm afraid that GG Charvel's model cost is far above ordinary fan !

?? Hi Ben, I don't see how your comment relates to this interview.
@@guitarspeakpodcast1383 Listen @ 4:14
I think Guthrie meant that exploring the cities is not necessary to his enjoyment of the tour.

@@richardhunt809 Hi Richard, yes that seems to be the crux of his comments there.
