The thing about this man that astonishes me the most is not his versatility or musicianship, but his ability to always keep it fresh, to be innovative and original in ways we've never seen. Is like if Guthrie had multiple personalities, but all of them are genius musicians and can be chosen by his demand. As a huge fan myself, the only thing I'd do if I saw him would be saying "thanks", simply because I feel he's the type of guy that truly understands pure gratitude.

Guthrie is basically a musical savant

1400 views on this?? OK, so the background noise is appalling, but guys, this is live and a private session of one of the brightest music genii the western world has produced, counting times since Mozart. Thank you Guthrie for making the universe a better place!

[@itsCheezeh]

Guthrie Govan is the Bob Ross of guitar

[@jasonjasniewski5925]

Agreed Jana. This guy's brain just works on a different level than even most extremely talented musicians. I still theorize he isn't from this planet. lol!

[@EricMetalhead]

He's a fantastic musician but his songwriting is nowhere near the level of the best in history

[@EricMetalhead]

Best guitarist of all time I do agree to that

[@eldrinpaulgok-ong3450]

Music is subjective but indeed he is the best for my taste. songwriting and playing ability :)

Guthrie ticks every fucking box. amazing human

[@brunosampaio2399]

I´ve never seen a guitar player as confident as Guthrie Govan. And he has good reasons to be so confident.

"Let me see if I can manufacture a primitive click." *Manufactures an unnecessarily involved click. What a dude!

[@HoldsworthGovan]

Guthrie knows theory but he's so low-key, and his way of explaining is very modest and friendly He doesn't seem like: "Hey look i know complex theory, i'm so genius, different and hip, screw blues and pentatonic are for newbs" unlike many prog/tech-shred metal players i've known :P

[@grandmaitredesmarionnettes1038]

progressive contemporary dark prog/tech-shred experimental new wave acid-jazz avant- garde metal.

Oh, and also, pentatonic is for noobz, and rock/blues music is stupid.

[@jazzylei143]

Exactly

The missing link between jazz blues prog rock... it’s always fascinating see him explaining

[@sourcefield5651]

He just went from Allan Holdsworth (7:05) to John Mayer/BB King (8:04) so effortlessly. Dude is a chameleon

@@austinhamilton122 see, im a fan of guthrie and i think he is one the most monsterous guitar player ever, but also do notice the genius mind and technique of john mayer,he may lack what guthrie can do in terms of improvisation and complexity but john mayer does have the upper hand in composing good music that sounds good to people(outside the music circle) and it is also important to know that he is one of the very few artist who still keeps guitar culture alive in todays mainstream music scene.

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

Hello, i love you Guthrie... =P

[@adriangel143]

ok, sOOoo [I'll try to put this in written form]...since the bass riff is going 4/4 then the guitar riff can be grouped as 6 quarter notes in triplets in 4/4. [or at least that's the way I understood it and the way Guthrie counted from 2:39-44]...meaning that both instruments pulses are at the quarter note; it's just that Guthrie is grouping the quarter note in triplets.Following that path...basically, I guess, I don't understand how he sees it as 4/4 [bass] over 6/8 [guitar]..Need help to understand this one guys :(

[@jonathanguete5083]

Luis I think he's actually going 12/8 with the bass and the guitar riff it's in 6/4. This 2 share the quarter note (12 quarter notes per measure), they group them differently. In the 12/8 you have 4 pulses of 3 quarter notes each, and in the 6/4 you have 6 pulses of 2 quarter notes each. This 2 time signatures fall together in the first pulse of each measure.Hope you understood, ask if didn't :)

[@alejandro52612]

Or you can just think of the bass and guitar being in an 3 over 2 polyrhythm

Burlwood body? You could build a Russian-Orthodox cathedral out of the lumber this guy alone probably owns.

[@1n35pbso]

Very impressing and precise. The only complain is the sound quality. They should have recorded using not just a camcoder mic with poor characteristics, but some advanced equioment. Any good stuff can be totally destroyed with awful recording.

[@shreddiestreams]

I love and truly appreciate Guthrie's playing but I was just wondering if you guys think that the band around the strings is cheating? I want to get one but whenever I see one I feel like it's an unfair advantage.

[@rafaelsg7964]

Shreddie Herger cheating? Imagine if someone said "using an amp is cheating, like you should only play acoustic guitars". Or even "using 7 strings is cheating, the standard technique dictates the use of only 6", or maybe "using a guitar is cheating, real musicians should be able to whistle their solos"... The question is, do you care about music, ie the results? or aren't you really interested in some silly imaginary game?

[@abhinav1690]

How is it cheating ? It is used to cut out the extra noise lol

[@alexjackson8841]

it’s not like the fret wrap changes your playing ability lol. it stops the minute quiet ringing of the other strings while you play. You don’t use them all the time just when doing really technical fast shredding stuff

[@bardsamok9221]

@@alexjackson8841 no it doesn't. If I'd did that then open chords wouldn't work. It stops headstock string noise. And no it's not cheating. Is a guitar strap cheating?

[@alexjackson8841]

@@bardsamok9221 No my friend, It does what i said it does. Guthrie is playing open chords because he isn’t currently, hence why it’s behind the nut not in use. The fret wrap only does what it’s supposed to do when you bring it down past the nut so it can mute the strings, and when you don’t want to use it you just keep it behind the nut where Guthrie is keeping it in this video. Literally google it, youtube it, or ask anyone…

[@lightvox6152]

what is that on the nut of the guitar?

+LightVox Either a sweatband for the wrist or a bobble/scrunchy for the hair, I actually should know which exactly having been up close (real close) to his guitar lol.

[@YaoEspirito]

+LightVox Hair-scrunchie, for damping open strings; a lot of guitar wizards use them. Watch some Greg Howe; another genius who uses them.

[@Leo_Safko]

This guy looks like Aqualung....is that wrong?

[@MarceloKatayama]

[@philtrem]

what's the guitar model?

[@puppylinuxer]

His signature Charvel

[@philtrem]

Ok thanks.

[@philtrem]

Oh wow, decidedly it is quite expensive. I found a Jason Becker signature guitar by Carvin which seems cool, I think I'd go with that latter one.

[@puppylinuxer]

Philippe Tremblay Carvin Guitars are excelent, but why would you prefer a JB signature model over your own custom??Carvin Custom shop isn't that expensive and you can really tweak and have a guitar built to your specs.

[@philtrem]

I really wouldn't know what to choose. I don't know much about guitars, although I'm an experienced player. I do pretty much like that guitar as it is, though.

@@dogzzen1520 yeah, but he only uses a considerable ammount of gain once in the video, and it's for less than a minute. He plays clean for most of the video, so I don't see why you would make such a statement when plenty of the video is him specifically NOT doing what you're claiming he is.
