Five guys on a stage are all thinking " Oh God have I got to play in front of Guthrie...."
I thought exactly the same!
Guthrie giving improvisation classes ... The elite of the guitar ... The rules of Govan.
Derek M. Nah....
Smarty The Pants: personally I liked Andy James opening with a rip blazing solo. Obviously they are all amazing players but after seeing Shawn Lane..even Guthrie has said there will never, ever be another like Shawn. I consider the whole idea that we are comparing them to be rather subjective..
Guthri is good also as a new rising guitar hero today style is mix with fusion thats make him sound defrent. But just simply as that..
Blue jeans on the left, black jeans on the right.
Yea man.
blue won!
The drummer isn't even wearing pants!!
Blond hair on the left black hair on the right
here i am,
stuck in the middle with you
You know you're good when John Petrucci plays rhythm guitar for you
John still the best👍 for me
He played rythm for everyone
@@Geerladenlad its a joke
@@NurseryCryme Humor, yes I have it too.
you know you are good when you play rhythm for guthrie
Guitar Jesus strikes again!

6:52 is your button. thank me later
I'm thanking you right now my friending
Thank you
Even Andy & John saw him in dibelieve
Guthrie is the man, but Tosin had all eyes on him at 6:00
Guthrie Govan [noun] - a guitarist who improvises at levels which most wish could compose.
Still a child in front the Guitar God JP
@@aluandcache7336 nope
@@antoniskata9033 In All round playing even 2 centuries in future YES..
@@aluandcache7336 no bröther. The musicalit, of guthrie is unmatched
@@snipestyl In few techniques I agree but overall not even close to Guitar God..
They're all great...and then Guthrie has his "hold my beer" moment.
haha
I don't think that way. It seems like he is also figuring out the right notes to suit up with the chord changes.
@@Nedwin The music is figuring out the right ways to suit up guthrie lol
@@Nedwin there are no wrong notes for guthrie. Jazz has no "right" notes. You just have to deliver the context.
Rather, they took his beer so he wouldn't get drunk. Maybe he was going to break a string like he did for Zimmer...
Aside from Guthrie solo, I really liked Andy James solo. It fits in the mix perfectly.
Look at Guthrie, peeking at the others playing. I don't think he feels threatened, he just want to learn from others. Dude's got such a nice attitude.
Nobody among them feels threatened, it is not a competition, it's a jam, basically an opportunity to learn from others. That is the real musician attitude
MrNoxxis The event Guthrie did with Vai and Satriani also wasn't a competition, but you could tell Vai was getting a quite unnerved and threatened by Guthrie's playing. Not the attitude that they should have, I agree, but it doesn't stop some falling to non-existent pressure.
@@tomwilliams8591 true people on youtube comment make it like a competition
MrNoxxis
Subconsciously it is a competition, that's why these set ups always sound shit musically, and they're always cringy to watch.
@@tomwilliams8591You are correct sir, Guthrie was outstanding at that G3 and Satch and Vai both knew it...
But notice here - Guthrie is interested and paying attention to every soloist, no-one else does during. But when Guthrie plays EVERYONE IS LOOK :D
I love how Guthrie held back for 2 & 1/2 bars before starting his solo spot to let the rhythm section establish their grove again and let the listener take a breath. Little things like that are what make me love his musicality.
Vim Fuego should have been on that stage
I'm with you on that. Unfortunately due to the Frilly Pink contract Vim signed, he's got 350 years to go before he can play live again.
WarriorOfGhengisKhan
You talk about musicality, he's crap though, he can't write music, he just seems to want to try and impress all the time with preconceived exercises.
Please permit me to speak oh great one check out "waves" or "erotic cakes" or "wonderful slippery thing" you would have to be either too stupid or just not listening to say that those aren't good songs, and great songwriting aswell
+Please permit me to speak oh great one: What do we have here? A world class musician, and musician critic? Keep living your miserable monotone life and avoid spewing your sore loser venom on people greater than you.
Tossin`s and Andy`s faces during guthrie`s solo are priceless...
thats what you called resprect :)
They paid attention
8:20 Andy + Petrucci's face: - Govan is out of this word
but you didn't notice how Gutrie looked at Andy when he played. Shame on you...
Even abasi
I add 17:25
Just watch JP’s face...
Like wow really to Guthrie
Mr govan is the man. Not a single note wasted. no show off. pure genius.
Indian 😂😂
@@aluandcache7336 ?
@@aluandcache7336 Yeah fuck off.
@@cmhardin37 Foodless
U ok?
While TA, JP and AJ hit the gym.. Guthrie stays at home and plays guitar haha
hahaa that would be a perfect explanation other than he's no human 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No ur wrong... Guthrie goes to hair salon to smooth her curly Lol
He actually says while touring he never practices ..he says he doesn't even touchguitar while others are practicing reallyhrd 😅😅😅
@@pragyannath also he doesnt warm up before concerts... He has stated that so many times and at this point i do think he's not lying lol
Very true, but the only problem is that TA and AJ definitey don't lift
Guthrie's solo is the only one that has a beginning, middle and end. He is simply the best.
th-cam.com/video/yfsU5KfF6LE/w-d-xo.html
are you for real?...waaw,the rest are just ordinary guitar players?...remarcable how Gutrie was looking at Andy James when he played.I don't think Govan can handle soloing at that main rhythm,certainly not like Andy or John. I think that all of them are fantastic guitarists and there isn't such thing like the best player between them.
@@funfgesange7656 Thanks, dude. I wasn't looking for it, but I'm glad you made me find it
And so are the rest..quit your being a fantard. grow up
cos he's a musician (a great one) and the others are guitar-rapers for fun boys
I want everyone to observerve Manginis smile and small jump at 7:47 when he and Guthrie improvised those syncopated notes together on the spot. Absolutely fucking brilliant. They obviously found a musical connection, which is something of Guthries speciality; And, may I add, part of why the Aristocrats are so fantastic. They actually PLAY together. Speaking through their respective instruments like were they voices. Which they are.... Speaking and playing.
I will hopefully meet Guthrie again at Freak Guitar Camp, where I met him back in 2010. Truly brilliant to be in the presence of such a man. Socially shy and modest to a fault.. Come to think of it, I should really try to find videos of that somewhere on some hard drive.
The best part of the whole video!
YES!!!! This.
The only guitarists I know that when soloing somehow never run out of ideas, possess their own language that take you somewhere others simply cannot get their minds to go. The streams of continuous brilliace switching chord changes like swallows seamlessly glide change of direction in air, gibbons fly through trees at speeds cars get pulled over and impounded, or dolphins shimmy on by like its not water. Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, Bryan Baker, Eef Alber's, Sylvan Luc and Guthrie Govan indeed are top tier. Most others all have a stick then go and fingertap in predictable commonality
@@johndkastel7972 If you're talking about improvising, which I take from your comment you are, then I agree. Guthrie Govan just flows in a seemingly unpredictable way. I am sure if I sat down and analysed his licks, I'll bet that he actually does do a lot of particular finger movements that are his favourites, but the way he ties it together is incredibly impressive, and of course he has the most amazing dexterity I have ever seen in guitarist. But when it comes to composing, melody, riffs, tone etc. etc. it's hard to say Guthrie is better than any of the other great players out there. Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, and Govan?? Who's written the best music, inspired the most guitarists, achieved the best tones??
playing close with the drummer is where the real music happens
The drummer influencing Guthrie's solo at 7:40 was such a satisfying moment!
and thats because he is Mike Mangini!
@@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499 Because drummer enjoyed it
They do it twice only not as noticable the second time
Drummer Mike is the most outstanding amongst the most outstanding musicians
All of these guys are world class players, cream of the crop. But I've never seen anyone handle the instrument like Guthrie. Complete and total control and unbridled sophistication.
Kingding6 I've always been a big JP fan but I have to agree with ya. Obviously they're all class of course but Guthrie is very special.
Atleast i cn pick all his stuff from beginin til end but man tosin abasi stuff its damn dificult thing lot of eight finger tapping n wierd chord next guitarist john petruci no one on the planet has evr had long time memory as him,u cn check out the time changes too man
I like your comments. For me GG is the best. Very humble. I always want to be like him.
GG genius
Complete and total control and unbridled sophistication. That bore repeating!
I enjoyed everyone's reactions when Guthrie hits the perfectly placed tritone at 8:45
For some reason I feel like he did that as a nod to tosin and Andy James like "don't get me started playing your genera MF!" Lpl
Well at 8:20 AJ just shook his head at JP and laughed.....kindof sums up Guthries solo....blew everyones mind
My personal top comment, bro ! Thank you for this on point description
Perfect tritone my ass, it actually got stuck when the rhythmic part of the metal started:)))
I think if Govan drops his guitar, you'll applaud him all day😂😂😂
just looking by his face, i believe, the dude with red guitar is thinking that other guitarist is his enemy
I love how tosin is just smiling the whole time
@@s1iznc1d34 5:35 miss note
And how at 9:37 he loves aside to give all the attention to the drums. He's a wholesome man
Tosin is a creative genius when it comes to writing and composing music but even he admits to being bad at improvising solos. Someone like Guthrie on the other hand is notorious for his ability to do exactly that.
Either way it’s a stage full of talent, that’s for damn sure
Maybe cuz guthrie played since he was 3 and learned everything by ear.
@@raz0rcarich99 whatever, but this is infinite times better than G3, which sounds ear pain to me.
It wasn't a bad improv, though! It had it's hiccups but I still liked it.
5:35😂
We are all gettin my better! Tosin sounds great I think he just needs to work on not shredding so much and playing with the track. We all know he can shred. I saw an interview where he talked about how he kind of ignored vibrato and like the blues growing up and and now he’s trying to focus more on that. Tosin is the man!
I like how Guthrie observes and listens to them while playing.
No guitarist here… but guys, as a musician you have to admit seeing those facial expression of joy and happiness from the guys watching Guthrie says it ALL… he’s the master under masters!
I think that is my favourite part of the video! They are all listening and watching him intently then chuckling and shaking their heads at how good he is! It’s wonderful!
The drummer influencing the solo made him play with 2x more passion. Absolutely love it.
It’s not drummer. It’s Mike Mangini!!😏
What I noticed is guthrie is timing his solo with the drummer.. he's playing with the band. The others are playing in front of a band.
Tosin also tried
Is it Mangini on the drums?
8man yep.
They all did that... that's kind of obligatory.
Yes, the drummer looks n feels hype when Guthrie play
GUTHRIE!!
Do you like a Michael Romeo too???
YES YES YES...I AGREE SO FUCK'N MUCH!!
Guthrie taking notes like no other... damnnnnnnnn
False ! GODhrie..
Randomo!!
At 8:14 Andy just freezes and is in total awe of what Guthrie is playing
Ya you’d act the same in front of God too 😉
to me Andy James was the best out of all of the humans. Guthrie is just Guthrie.
Couldnt agree more🤣
Damm right haha
Best comment ever. 😂
Andy is the next Petrucci, period
Well put😂
So this makes Guthrie a god amongst gods? They're all incredible (obviously) but Guthrie just takes things to another level man!
258lemons as usual
A friend of mine once said: „Guthrie is like a sponge in the ocean of guitar players. No matter how high the water level, Guthrie is swimming on top.“
I find the tony macalpine harmony changes very interesting :P But guthrie was listening to it and did it at the end of it's solo hahaha
He borned with a newer firmware in his brain.
Guthrie is like a 60 year loving relationship with the most wonderful woman on Earth and the rest of them are crudely drawn boobies on a 6th graders desk
I love how at 8:25 you can literally hear the whole universe aligning in harmony as Guthrie plays.
That's the music Bill & Ted had been trying to make.
I also thought I heard the universe aligning, but actually my dog pooted
When the riff at 8:25 aligned, the drummer literally stood to crash the cymbals. Awesome.
Guthrie is so good because his ear is so good, he really knows what notes are in the chords and plays in a very melodic way where he lets the specific chord tones guide where he is heading. He has incredible chops but his note choice is where he really shines.
thank you my friend
Andy James plays just like JP. Petrucci looks him like "dude, is this how i look like when i'm playing?"
My thoughts exactly!
"OMG, the dude on the far left doesn't even know the chords...look at him looking around, trying to figure the song out....his headstock isn't even a little bit pointy - can't wait for some plodding pentatonic shapes from him....epic fail going to ignite any second now.....this is worse than I thought - don't think he even realises it's his turn..............HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, MY FACE IS MELTING!!"
Literally laughed loud at this! 😂
Lmao
I was just about ready to throw down at first there😂
😂🤘😂
I bet by that after listening to 7:00 to 9:00 you had eaten your hat. GG = Guitar God.
I keep coming back to this video. Time stamp usually is 6:52 ..
Same here
Same here
Same here
8:16 when andy james stops headbanging an is just listening... :-D
I see everyone here "Guthrieeeeee"
so I watched until Guthrie played and man the comments do not lie. This guys improvised like its an old backing track of his lol
Everyone comparing the guitarists but no one appreciating the drummer!
raghav dube
me :)
mangini gods 😂
Its mangini dude, he's one of the best drummers alive
For Mangini those lines are so easy that his brain was idle or just day dreaming while playing.
those rolls he does are absolutely burning
Its monster Mangini
Guthrie comes down from Mt. Olympus to jam with the mortals, how nice of him!
Andy James and JP solos sounds 100 times better than Olympus guy...
@@davidderoux7552 wrong fanboy. Petrucci and Andy James solos sound one dimensional and Metal cliche scale runs with bends. Guthrie was playing out of the box and feel.
@@thebomontellano4996 it sounds 100 times better to me,I like metal not rock+jazz fusion.Nothing it's wrong...
@@davidderoux7552 That's why he is a god, because his level of difficulty is so much higher than the rest. That's the reason my friend. If andy and pettruci are one dimensional guthrie is multi
@@mystery6411 I don't give a thing about difficulty,JP is a complete guitar player.But if you are talking about difficulty I recomand 5:27 from this masterpiece:
th-cam.com/video/5TIj5l8z8gQ/w-d-xo.html
Any time tosin and Guthrie play together tosin seems so stoked on Guthrie
He doesn't even bother to play rythms lol 😂
Tosin is extremely humble and nice, he is awesome..
And it seems to be reciprocal. Guthrie seems to be very curious about Tosin's technique
@@Elemy69 for sure. I feel like anytime any of these guys play together that they are very into each other’s playing.. at least I’d assume just because everyone’s playing and phrasing is a little different and there is always something you can learn from eachother. Unless your Yngwie maybe.. and your ego is just huge...Jk. It’s probly that way for him as well..
Skywalker meets yoda level respect. .
Guthrie Govan how can someone be that good
at neo classical, yes but Guthrie is more well-rounded and creative ..
Loved his clear, concise tone too .. I think I need a V30 Victory amp now!
Mal Reynolds shut the fuck up yngwie copy cat
Ask Greg Howe!
Leonardiski123 while everyone was busy praising undeserving musicians Guthrie just kept practicing religiously....everyone else here is a joke...this is the truth my friend...but it's a taboo to speak this way....so u get the point ...
I feel Guthrie is the kind of guitarist that bassists and drummers want to have in their band. He plays with the rhythm section, rather than just treating them like a human backing track.
Agreed cos he can do and has done everything and imitating the greats for practise videos along to backing tracks I bet he loves it even more with like minded musicians creating and vibjng off something new
Every time I watch this I feel like Guthrie's solo doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves from the crowd compared to some of the others
It's probably because they were mesmerized. Honestly, even when I watch it I just simply listen to Guthrie's playing without headbanging or anything like that. His playing sounds so meaningful and passionate that I just listen to him play and get emotional most of the times
Right?
Honestly, he doesn't need us mortals to cheer for him. Most of just freeze with awe when guthrie plays.
Guthrie's solo is like he's telling a story. I liked the others too, but they felt more like lick exercises.
Damn right……too many tongues and fingers tied up in knots!
Dude you have to check your ears listen to petrucci lol
No mention of the great bass work of Dave LaRue? He's awesome!
Bass players should be heard and not seen!! . Haha only kidding bro.
@@PhilWilkinsonMusic hahahaha!
really
@@88omair ...and Satch! ;)
and Magini 🥇
I literally had no idea of what Guthrie would do when the backing started, it was so different to anything I heard him play before. Then, of course, the fucker goes on to play probably the best solo I've heard in my life.
Don't even know why I'm surprised.
hahahahaha you’re right..this fucker always trying to find way to not sound like himself..my all time fav guitarist
That Andy James solo was sick!
Measuring by who do you least want to play your solo after, having Andy in the pole position, is not going to happen again soon.
7:12 you know Guthrie is the most interesting/best guitar player there based on the fact that every single player stared at him INTENTLY to see what he'd do.
did u watch other players and how GGs reaction to them!!
Wrong boring🥱
Everybody was great , but they put Guthrie to improvise in all those chords changes while everybody improvised in riff and I have to say (and that's why he's my favorite guitar player ) he handle like no other would , what amazing ears he have , just top of the top .
There is a good reason to put Guthrie in such a position. He is one of a kind :)
except for rhythmic, there is no difference in them. still playing on the same scale. chord changes don't mean they're playing in different scale.
Which is why Petrucci put him in that situation.
Malik nobody improvised in that section of the song , and yes , there a big difference in each one of them , nobody played the same , but extra points to Guthrie that improvised in all those chords and you need to know harmony to improvise in that part , you cannot improvise in that section using one scale , you can use arpeggios , but that chord progression is chords borrowed from different scales so you need to use different scales in most of them .
Malik actually chord changes mean a lot, a great example are gypsy jazz musicians who play arpeggios and give accent on notes which make that chords while improvising and playing, otherwise it would sound dissonant. Melody needs to follow harmony and rhythm.
Tosin watching Guthrie is hilarious.
When Guthrie and Petrucci played, It was like living in a new whole world.
Sometimes you want to jump into light speed, and Andy can do that.
I honestly have been returning to this video for years just to hear guthrie's improvisation
06:26 Mangini exactly knows how to support guitar properly.
Guthrie Govan's Solo.
8:15 to 8:22 = Andy James and JP reacted.
8:31 = Tosin reacted
BEST MOMENT 8:44 to 8:52 when Andy James and Tosin laughed.
GG= BEAST
Yeah i see it too.. thats satisfaction
also at 8:45 where he's like "see? I told you man, I told you..."
07:00 The Best is here...
GUTHRIE GOVAN we can see reactions of others guitarists, what a man ? you are very special!!!!!
8:15 Andy can’t believe what he just witnessed. 😂
Lol, I noticed.....and rightfully so!!
Guthrie and Andy was on the same LICKLIBRARY, as a guitar teacher
Andy's phrasing is OFF THE HOOK tho
Everyone were like "is he a fucking alien!?"
oh god I missed it, fucking hilarious.
Everyone else was just noodling around with a few mistakes here and there like they were feeling around for something unique while Guthrie pulled a melodic masterpiece out of thin air and played it like it was written on paper and practiced to perfection. Can't leave out Andy James on his solo though. His melodic sense is great and his accuracy is incredible.
Crazy how Guthrie is holding this whole thing together he really is the silent master and they all know it
How can Guthrie be just so much better than simply everyone else?? The level of confidence when he improvises... it's like he has a huge library of ideas for every possible progression you throw at him and these are not simple ideas. I refuse to believe he comes up with all this stuff on the spot.
It's because Guthrie doesn't restricts his playing to one music genre. He is a very curious musician so he used to practice literally everything he could hear, whether it be rock, pop, funk, or even jazz. Not to say the other guitarists don't do that but to a lesser extent, they'd rather narrow themselves to metal, and focus their practice on fast notes and shredding. Guthrie studied a lot of jazz which is the best genre of music for improvisation
@@s1iznc1d34 That's an acquired taste. Some people, as they grow up, usually steer away from the ultra distorted processed sound that doesn't sound like a guitar anymore. It's a less commercial sound for sure. Take for example Petrucci's tone. It used to be amazing during the first DT records when he was with Ibanez. Now it's just too much, but it sells better. They need to sell music to kids who are still in the extreme metal stage, not to their old fans who are likely to have moved on to modern jazz. Guthrie's tone is just more mature. Less effects and more wood (if that's even a thing).
you should see a Scott Henderson Trio live
@@palonazo What would you say about Steve Vai's tone? His pickups are still extremely hot, but I would argue his phrasing and choice of exotic chord progressions has become far more mature, and his hot-rodded-but-creamy neck pickup tone works with that altered aesthetic instead of against it.
That said, I'm barely in my early twenties, and I already find the change you describe occurring in me.
what the first guy said and the fact that Guthrie is literally a genius when it comes to language, he went to oxford for english before he left to focus on guitar. Hes said many times he thinks of music similarly, as a language with rules that can be learned followed and appropriately broken. Consequently hes also brilliant at explaining guitar/music concepts in a universally understandable way which others struggle with.
I like how everyone on stage is so interested in what Guthrie plays
"Let's give Guthrie the chord change section, can't make it too easy..." TOO EASY hahaha He's on another level. It's cool watching other legends watch him play, knowing he's from another planet. Absolutely unreal ear and technique.
What's more than that, Guthrie plays absolutely best when he has chords to fuck around with. He essentially just outlines the chords when he improvises
Seeing the simply guitar commercial before this. The contrast is out of this world.
At 8:20 AJ looks at JP and just shakes his head at the greatness...sign of respect among amazing players.
Now THAT"S the Mike Mangini I remember!
So true!
Who is here for Guthrie Govan?
th-cam.com/video/yfsU5KfF6LE/w-d-xo.html
I'm here for Andy and JP. Excuse me please!
@@satinrules Well, in Prog Magazine he was voted 4th. The best guitarist of 2020 was voted JP. In 2019 he was also 1st place. But what really matters is just your opinion :)))
@@davidderoux7552 funny this is, good point you're trying to make but really thats your explanation? I think his opinion makes more sense than a guitar magazine ratings. Those are mere popularity contest ratings. Please do check out Guthrie's works lately who knows maybe you'll also be in awe, just like the rest of us :)
@@gothamguitarist
so, in your opinion, Govan is the only good guitar player out there. The rest are unskilled, right?
Where the hell did you come from because you're so smart?
Did anyone else notice how at 7:37 he overbent and it resulted in that note (that by chance sounded good), which he instantly hit afterwards? This dude can't cease to fucking amaze me.
Damn, I didn't notice that. That's amazing!
No he just bent one note to two different ones, I do that too, I think he knew what's he was doing lol.
It's funny though I thought something around the three minute mark was what you were talking about, I can't hear him him going back to the weird note either, also it's not that weird a note, slightly obscure technique perhaps not like when people do it to a random note, more like bending to next scale degree or something to my ears.
Holy shit lmao yeah he pulls the E off the neck and then incorporates in into the solo
08:45 I'm a fan of JP, but those faces at the end of Gutrhie's solo prove he's out of this world!! Genius
Sorry bro but petrucci is more exiting for me
Show starts at 7:00
Guthrie is today's Shawn Lane.. Simply unmatched.
100% agree. It's about as close to perfection as there is currently. IMO only here, no haters please!
Exactly!
Tosin brings such a fresh harmonic flavor to the group
It's refreshing to see all the guitar gods smile and gush like us normies when seeing Guthrie play.
Dave Larue is so pro.
It would be super awesome if Rick Graham was also there
Start a camping to convince Andy and JP to get him.
Ifkrrr!!!!
I was thinking of that too..rick would be great
Is there any live Rick Graham work?
@@Kdog-hw6ri i believe he doesnt feel confortable playing live :/ he said that on an interview I saw from Rick Beato's channel, wich is quite sad, cuz man, Graham is a god. He could be playing there with those legends and still improvise craaaaaaaaazy stuff...
I love how Tosin’s head nods with Guthrie’s groove from about 7:52, then Guthrie’s hits the next chorus with that insane run and Tosin’s head goes into a 32nd note shake
Guthrie’s talent is indisputable, but Petrucci’s sound and musicality is also on another level. Great musicians both!
I think over the years, Petrucci has lost some of what made him one of my favorite guitarists. He used to write some beautiful solos, but he's become much more of a "shredder first" type of guy lately and dream theater as a whole has lost what made them great. Scenes from a memory was probably his best as far as musicality. Beautiful writing, beautiful songs and beautiful solos. Six Degrees also had some really nice, non shredder solos in it, but it was probably a bit "out there" as far as songs go, for most people. I personally loved it.
Yes, I agree 100% 👍👍
@@MAGAMAN Yeah, Petrucci is an eternal mystery. My personal theory is that he's too nice. Hence why he was never able to break free of LaBrie and now Mangini, with their lack of appropriate musicality. However, if I ever feel down in life I usually end up watching videos of him on TH-cam, and I think many feel the same, so he's clearly an amazing force for good in the world.
Yes petruci sound unique, for me the rest sound the same
@@othomas1825 Andy sounds very very good too!
love guthrie always wanted to see him play with these guys
I've never heard Mangini sound this good... Why isn't he this lively and organic on the DT records?
MannnisEi I think it's partially because of the way they record their albums, they always start with drums first. It doesn't give him the chance to accent the feel of everything else that is going on in the song.
MannnisEi low pay scale?
that feeling when you're married for 25 yrs and got that chance to date or have a 1 night stand with 3 hot chicks. including your wife, 2 neighbours up close and a crowd watching you do it at a distance.
Other sound and music. I like very much how he interacts. He grooves great here. I am extremely surprised how differently he grooves here. Love it!
you fucking kidding right. Mangini is like a god-like legend. Just cuz Sheehan is a bassist in Vai's doesn't mean he's a random talent. Drums and bass are supporting foundations.
Petrucci is in another level
When you start to transcribe this even just a little you realize this guy is just superimposing all over the place to make this chords sound cool
And it's improvised on the spot. Guthrie is incredible
Hey, what's the chord progression?
@@tomasvitale5366 The verse (as guthrie played it) is
Dbm7(11), Cmaj7(#11), Amaj7(#11), Amaj7(#11), Gbm7, Fmaj7(#11), B7, B7.
The other section i guess is something around F# phrygian dominant
@@tomer107 Amazing, thank you!!
Guthrie...
all jokes aside, I'd like to say guthrie's solos here are the best among them, but if there is anything he lacks it's "theatrics" in my opinion. Not that it's really needed in music, though..
@@gentaermaji191 that's also his ideology of music. All that other fancy bullshit is cool and all but it certainly doesn't have to do anything with music

Guthrie seems to fly above everything haha! His fast playing technique seems so articulate, not a mistake, and contextually musically perfect. Wish I knew about him sooner! His improvisation skills equal Petrucci's composition skills, goddamn!
love how twards the end andy and tosin are so in awe getting to see their hero john solo-ing away in person. what a dream must've been
Even in a room like this that is full if guitar Gods, Guthrie is in a league of his own.
Guthrie is the man...OMG
GG is a biological channel through which infinite music transits, without any limitation.
A real Wizard... just amazing!!!
That was one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen on this website.
man at 11:40 John's 90's style started coming back out. I always loved his lead playing during that era. There's just something unique about it that helps me to relax and calm my mind, especially when I'm having extreme waves of depression like right now. Something about his playing always manages to lift my spirits and make me feel better. These guys are all phenomenal. Hopefully things will work out so that I can make it to 3.0!
Perry D John is such a healer..
That exactly right my man
That's what am trying to put sense to kids out here who is blind folded follow Guthrie ignoring master himself petrucci.
You wrote down my thoughts verbatim. John's tone is also one of the best there are.
The best solo was of Guthrie 's and Andy 's.... Guthrie took it to different dimensions....
All are great players!!!
@@anushrestha6157 yeah but guthries and andys are the best suit to the music
It was okay..
By far Andys solo,for me!
i like jp second solo a lot
10:05 man Guthrie is just outstanding even from the little noise he makes
And Abasi agrees
7:40 Mangini got pregnant of a little Govan
I kept seeing all Guthrie comments. So watched the whole video and man...these comments weren't wrong. He's is hands down the best one there. So damn tasty and effective. Wow.
8:00 Tosin Abasi's and Andy James' faces..
Andy's like "Goddamnit, dude. At least I didn't have to follow him."
Guthrie packing the lunch for the kids and taking them to the park. Man's not human.
Guthrie has a touch of blues, jazz and diminish? That's why he's so amazing.
OMG.. John's tone and playing is always too perfect!
But unfortunately lots of guthrie fanboy here simply they don't know what tone is but keep praising coz he is fast versatile shredder ..
john thapa it’s all about tone for you isn’t it. I agree that John was legendary as usual but Guthrie........he was prolly using half the gain than the others were which meant that we could easily make out any mistakes he did but his clarity is on another level. His improvising is a lot better than anyone on the stage because of his versatility and his a ability to play any genre of music. So you need to ignore the tone for some time, ok. Also what about andy James? His improvisation was insane as well, right?
@@smitapawah4236 WTF? The career of John stalled guitar solos with little gain and is one of the guitarists known for being very neat in his technique. By the way, Guthrie is not that he uses little gain, only that his sound is overwhelmed at mid frequencies, which gives an impression to the ear of having little gain in his set up.
AJ is a beast .. but GG is another level ahead of them all 🤘🤘
8:21 - John Petrucci and Andy James looking and each others "Woow , Guthrieeee" . I just love how Guthrie improvises❤️
13:28 John took some of us into the sky. Greatest guitarist with a lot of creativity.
