I like how Guthrie observes and listens to them while playing.

[@mrbullseye]

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.

[@zizimxD]

YES!!!! This.

[@johndkastel7972]

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

[@zx7-rr486]

@@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??

[@suba474]

There is a good reason to put Guthrie in such a position. He is one of a kind :)

[@ragilmalik]

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.

[@cpamiseso]

Which is why Petrucci put him in that situation.

[@fabiomoreira5150]

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 .

[@suba474]

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.

[@suprchickn7745]

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.

@@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.

[@aneilaseyiekeretsu]

Gotta give a good thumbs up to the bassist for being able to stand up alone and strong against five of the top notch guitarists. Without him the universe would have been void. And to top it off his progressions and mastery in guiding the forces is really amazing. Hats off to you sir.

[@palopo-t3v]

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.

[@Elemy69]

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

[@palopo-t3v]

@@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).

[@dionysisdaras1289]

you should see a Scott Henderson Trio live

[@bakarenibsheut12]

@@palopo-t3v 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.

[@ianleonard3264]

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.

[@davemustafa4844]

Guthrie’s talent is indisputable, but Petrucci’s sound and musicality is also on another level. Great musicians both!

[@MAGAMAN]

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.

[@Mywheel]

Yes, I agree 100% 👍👍

[@legatrix]

@@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 KZbin, and I think many feel the same, so he's clearly an amazing force for good in the world.
