Blues Jam- Joe Satriani, Tosin Abasi, Mike Keneally, Guthrie Govan and MORE!

The instructors at the G4 camp in California take the stage to trade solos over this classic B.B. King tune.

[@zombiemachinery4868]

Is anyone going to applaud the bass player? Because holy shi*!

[@ivanisrael4442]

Bryan Beller yeah…show the man some love🤛

[@avoidingpuffins5577]

Rhythm section got heat 🥵 🔥

[@raymondjaquet4766]

Brian is the very best. I've seen them over 7 times in the Netherlands and the Aristocrats are one of the bands with the most chemistry. And very nice guys on top of that. can't wait to see and hear them for the 8th time!! Keep going, GG, BB and MM!

[@deadwoodhoney7486]

Guthrie Govan is like Paganini. Not many knew who he was until he was well into his career. Now he is gaining the widespread attention he always deserved and is obviously one of the finest players alive. A level above the previous iteration of megavirtuoso talent

[@thefog7067]

I first became aware of Guthrie when he worked for guitar techniques and used to transcribe solos and play demos for new gear, guitars and amps ect. He was frightening then!

[@TimsTunes]

Having the Aristocrats as your jam band can only be a great thing. Each of the guitarists who remained on the stage are supremely gifted in their own right. Mike and Tosin are mutants, Guthrie is in another league all together and Joe, is Joe. It started looking like a free for all, once Joe bailed though.

[@nzbradmorgan]

Satch's tone is always so full and lush. Guthrie's phrasing and vocabulary is otherworldly. What a cool lineup. Great video.

[@Gabriel-if1vg]

Love Gutbrie. You are the best.

[@owelguitar]

Guthrie is an alien. Tosin is a great guy enjoying the show, great spirit.

[@kalorakalora]

Guthrie is the best technical player to ever live, seriously. I had no idea he's the 2nd best slide player too after Trucks. Wth, this guy is just on another level of talent. Endless practice and playing isn't enough to allow one to master literally every technique known to guitar. Guthrie is the only player I've ever heard of who apparently has mastered them all

[@James-hh1lq]

Songwriting doesn’t come close to what satriani has done tho

[@kalorakalora]

@James that's your opinion man, cmon don't go stating that as it it's fact. I think Guthrie's songs are far better than Satch's. There's no right or wrong answer here, you can only objectively discuss technical ability. Ask another person and they'll tell you neither Guthrie or Satch compare to One Direction in terms of songwriting.

[@Cameos0]

@@James-hh1lq I guess you don't play guitar.

[@rodrody533]

It's never a good conversation to say someone is better than the other one. But I do find guthrie more appealing and I think he is better than most legendary guitarists both in song righting and technical aspect. But obviously satriani is a legend too. But still listen more guthrie solos , both his own band and with others like Hans Zimmer and Steven wilson etc.

[@gavinsnyder5627]

Guthrie is definitely in a class of his own. In my opinion his strongest characteristic that sets him apart from others is his incredible fluidity with improvising. But he does have a great deal of techniques at his disposal as well. There's certainly techniques that others may surpass him in a sense, but overall he is an incredibly versatile player. In otherwords, there are definitely players who are ahead of him with a particular technique, but the when considering the sheer versatility of his playing it's not often matched. Btw, Sonny Landreth is an incredibly skilled slide player. I find his playing better than that of Trucks. But that's just me an my opinion. Check him out if you haven't heard of him. ✌️

[@Shkun]

Love how The Aristocrats are makin eye contact with each other the entire way through lol. It's insane how incredibly locked in those three are.

[@barrettflorida]

Guthrie is the man. Listening to him talk everything about guitar and music is like listening to a Physicist talk. Way, way above anything I could understand, but I can listen to him for hours. Also, super cool dude. Joe is also amazing and a nice guy.

[@ChicTumshy]

Guthrie's just a GEM. So cool and yet so meek, modest and considerate too.

[@brentbartels9254]

To be there and hear this live would’ve been a jaw dropping and awe inspiring experience

[@satchsatch33]

Mike Keneally completely nailed it !

[@KingKull1971]

I miss B.B. King😢

[@wrigleyx]

People think it's easy to play Blues, but here, only Joe can do it . They all play great anyway, it's a fun jam :)

[@Ghi365]

Only Joe, Guthrie has shown various demonstrations in various videos.... 👍

[@Irma_Girde]

Ah dude Guthrie can play the blues. I've seen it.

[@tOxIc_TrEaSuRe]

that's almost an OD on amazingness in 15 minutes. Everyone kept it tasteful and with So many different flavors and amazing dynamics and clarity. Dude at the end topped it off with the HD blues vocals.

[@adrianherrera5360]

Satriani...💎🎸👽

[@olivierblandin-ed7fb]

Me too Satch !❤

[@uliwagemann8399]

Saw Vai, Satch and Guthrie live this year. Guthrie live was an eye-opener !

[@qattanadel]

There is no one who gives it like Guthrie

[@bootsy_davrot183]

its hard seeing abasi here, heres such a quality player in his own realm, he doesnt look comfortable!

[@71JohnLee]

Joe Satriani is perfect blues musician!

[@robinwatson4282]

Good grief, no.

[@tOxIc_TrEaSuRe]

when Guthrie slows it down it's like, oh, you wana see slow........

[@samueldias6562]

Ibrahimovic bom de futebol e no bass também

[@renensalmero5362]

Guthrie is different level unique

[@wreckoningday]

Satch has such a strong sense of melody, it separates him. Him and GG both do. Lots of players have amazing chops but melody is king. What's with camera shutter interrupting solos?

[@JohnDoe-qw4gc]

Badass

[@nomotage9797]

that bend by guthrie at 3:09 never seen anything like that.

[@duander1]

It appears to be a 2 tone bend

[@SimonsBand1]

lo you serious?

[@ianglastonbury5044]

I didn't know that Jeff Bezos can play guitar. He is pretty damn good

[@daviguitar607]

Govan é o gênio da guitarra. E esse baixista mds 👏🏼

[@lucioastordonascimentocorr5984]

@igo, se todos tocarem igual não terá graça ...Tosin Abasi tem o modo dele, deixe o cara, mané.

[@darksunwithin]

Loving Guthrie's 'eye contact' with Joe in the beginning! Also, could you possibly end your part any cooler than 4:55 😎

[@iridescent9667]

Guthrie is always fighting his hair with his face...🤣

[@amziadi]

Is it me or was Guthrie at times “playing tribute” to Derek Trucks? So amazingly cool!

[@MrWopwink]

I saw Guthrie on tour with Hans Zimmer.

[@musicaspararelaxar5478]

Satch is Master

[@jfrbcelloguitar]

👍👌🤝

[@bobbynoe1]

Aristocrats plus!

[@armandoaraujo6128]

Mestre Satch faz os outros colegas parecerem amadores no blues.

[@duander1]

True

[@BrunoGarciaMusic]

Guthrie Govan amador tocando blues? 😂😂😂😂

[@alinack69]

Who's guy who comes on with Satch's guitar half way through?

[@stevesmulski1462]

I’m wondering if it might possibly be his tech(?) 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rewajamir9190]

In my opinion no one beat joe among modern player with blues genre... but technic wise Guthrie win here and over all joe.

[@merlin5420]

BB would blow them all away with one note!! 😎

Lmfao

[@KingKull1971]

​@@mtlman906it's true

[@johnlemon874]

I mean yeah whatever is happening in this video, it’s definitely not blues oriented. Actually, it encapsulates a lot I hate about modern blues if I think about it.

[@user-mp2ht1ci5d]

Wow gosh! Guthrie is going on the sky with that!

[@James-wx3tp]

It really showcases the on the fly improvisation capabilities each person has . Very surprising. Not where Guthrie's concerned

[@iSOULS]

look how Joe just leaves the stage after Govan solo at 7 minutes. Gives the guitar to some random guy backstage and just quits for the night.

[@bobbynoe1]

Just to take a look at two guitarists on stage (Marco on drums and Bryan on bass, fantastic as always): Satriani is good, but his playing mostly follows well-known paths. Guthrie always finds a way to combine classic blues playing with appropriate innovative ideas. And come on, listen to his slide solo again (7:15)!

[@robinwatson4282]

Yeah, Satriani is completely outclassed here. Guthrie is untouchable - he just feels everything going on around him and taps into it like a champ. Meanwhile, JS hides behind his shades. Yeah, nice one, Joe; like, you're really connecting with everyone - not! Just doing your own 'cool' thing. You've heard of Joe Pass? Well, here we have Joe Fail.

[@danle3181]

@@robinwatson4282 You are just the "my father is stronger than yours" type of guitar player, aren't you (if ever you play the guitar) ? If that's the way you think, you understand nothing...

When was this?

[@L3onardo84]

The person who after Joe entered destroyed an already beautiful composition...why did Joe have to leave🤦

[@robinwatson4282]

I think he needed to adjust his glasses.

[@jfender8023]

interesting Tobin couldn’t play through the chords. Definitely wouldn’t be apt to play bebop and confirms most new players can’t swing instead go for the dissonant patterns that do sound amazing percussively but not musical in a melodic sense! The few cats onstage playing out of key are a different animal all together 😂

[@jublaim]

"Out of key".

[@Hubblereach0]

I feel like guthrie hates joe satriani hahaha

[@tOxIc_TrEaSuRe]

can some fine person please pin a post identifying who is who, tiime, etc.

[@fourthlayer]

12:22 who the fk is that???? Dude knows shit!

[@frankguitarr]

Tirando o Satriane o resto eu na minha humilde opinião não estava entendendo NADA kkkkm

[@SuperHotrod4]

They are all great in their own music, but Guthrie is just a freak alien beast!!! Just toying with these guys. He made Joe sound so predictable and basic, probably why he took his guitar off. The guy he gave it too was awful. Tosin is out of his element. Mike sounds like that dude struggling at local blues jams. Again, Guthrie is on a different frequency than all these guys.

[@geragamo]

baldy satriani disappeared and then returned a new satriani, same sun glasses but with more hair and the same guitar level ja

[@frannyp46]

Poor Marco who actually hates the blues.

[@deadkiss5426]

Why joe satriani running 😂😂😂?

[@DRSHobi]

Joe is a legend, it's impossible to fight a kid 

[@Nitromessiah]

This is a video that should be MANDATORY for all guitar students to watch! It's 99% what NOT to do. Just because you CAN play a bunch of licks, shapes, riffs etc does not mean you should. What a bunch of sterile noise this is.

[@tommyh763]

Its ok. We all understand what you mean. Most of us watching this cant play like this either..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@nilssmelteris7845]

Guthrie solo is best. He have interesting ideas! Guitarist shame is 05.03 min. 08.30min is noise. PS i agree

[@sigmamale3945]

Pensé que nadie lo diría por mi! 😁

[@BobbyJardine-vs8yc]

Guthrie is no Petrucci, Frusciante,or Navarro nor even close to Sartriani,Vai, Mike Stern or Eric Johnson but with about another decade of practice he could potentially wind up pretty good.

[@bm3410]

lol, Frusciante and Navarro... LOL are you kidding? Is that a joke? Guthrie has more chops than any of them.

[@psychonautpupildiallater7734]

🤡👍

[@fernando9026]

I can tell for sure you haven't watched or listened any of his improvised solos and songs. Have u listened toThe Aristocrats? I dont think so. Frusciante is hell of a player, no question. but you can't compare them lol .. Guthrie is in another level of playing

[@someonesomewherewithsometh9604]

Jp is overrated asf

[@overcast2018]

Yes petrucci, an overblown and annoying alternate picker

[@SuperHotrod4]

LOL after watching this entire shit show, go back and watch Guthries first solo. Wiped these guys up so easily.

[@rhivv1]

Guthrie just eats them all in every dimension for breakfast. god

[@gyl_0837]

Guthrie only need to improve his guitar tone, technique and all else is top notch.

[@GeorgeKam]

He had good tone back in the conford suhr days..

[@igo2054]

Tosin Abasi has zero idea how to play blues, I respect him he has crazy legato skills dont hate me but thats the situation here

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Please u got no chill off this. No chill

[@rodrigoheden]

coitado do SATRIANI.... kkkkkkkkkkkkkk meche com casa de abelha não amigo...suas pentatónicas não vão valer de nada perto desses monstros!!!

[@duander1]

Tá por fora, pelo jeito não conhece nada sobre o satriani, estude 10% do que ele sabe e depois volte a comentar

[@podcastplano]

as músicas do satriani são as melhores.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Govans tone sucked

[@Earthling327]

Not like SRV blues!!!

[@MisterPoppy-sc1sj]

Govan is boring, he don't have style or personality

[@DRSHobi]

😂

[@acajoom]

You miss so much.

[@neastguy]

I stumbled upon this clip.. kinda boring.. JS was straight up predictable pentatonic blues... Guth did some interesting stuff.. its supposed to be fun so cant really pick it apart

[@gs35]

Govan is the most creative of all. The others play like idiots while Goven shares and directs the sound. This jam is painful, I think.
