Final Jam G3 (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan) @ RockInRoma 2016

[@MAFiA303]

Guthrie is just taking what satriani throws at him and does it with a twist. he has instant pick of what satriani is doing. raw talent

[@ScottD44]

Throws At Him? What Does That Mean!

[@akhileshsonawane8828]

​​@@ScottD44 its a phrase for saying whatever he plays. Guthrie is quick to pick up whatever is going on and translate it on his fingers. With a twist as always

[@malai-kwainewschannel3302]

"its a conversation" :)

[@ccs624]

1:00 GG, responds with a "musical" 8 finger tapping version of what Joe did... Without even looking at the fretboard. Plays it in two separate phrases, the notes within, and ending note of each phrase makes perfect sense. Bryan smiling at MK as if to say "just toooo good!"

2:53 Vai Challenges Guthrie, (watch Guthrie prepare to respond) then Satch diffuses the situation by using his teeth on the Guitar as a way to make Guthrie laugh and forget about destroying Vai on stage

[@MrLennonson]

I feel that Vai is abit rude here, he's never let Guthrie finish his solo...

[@EnthonyStevie1000]

[@placidbomb6654]

that sounds like my acid trip.

[@georgetzathas9002]

That was probably just to let Guthrie know they're switching the solo time to half a bar each, y'all drama seekers are reading way too much into a fun improv 😂

[@andychips]

Steve Vai never lets Guthrie finish!

[@Snoopy-xi9ci]

That is right

[@vacant4]

Keep in mind that sometimes Guthrie is actually playing into Steve's bars, although you are correct Steve sometimes jumps the gun.

[@andychips]

True

[@TheOfficialBragi]

respect to steve and satriani but they've got nothing on the young blood. The fact that they dont let him finish shows their intimidation and the aggressive need to establish themselves as superior, whereas guthrie is more innovative, creative and fun

[@mariusvin8466]

[@watikiks]

it's annoying to see steve cut into Guthrie's solo not just once but many times (in other videos as well), which i felt was intentional and a clear indication of his insecurity playing with another virtuoso.

[@newguitaryngwie]

Sad to say, Stevie feels a bit threatened here..you gotta realize, this guy was/is a guitar god and has the ego to got with it. It's hard to let go and realize that the up and coming talent is pushing the envelope...All in all, I love to see the chemistry with the past meets the future....

[@UroboricNate]

This seems to be a common misconception in the comments, they each kinda start as the other begins, often times Guthrie was still soloing when it was Vai's turn.

[@minimoogle3335]

couple of guys saying they are following the 4/4 beat.. But I think Vai should have respected Guthrie's flow.. some might argue Vai sneaks in to keep the transition smooth.. But i mean come on its Guthrie that we are talking about here..that man surely knows when to pass on the riff even when he is asleep..Guthrie is genuinely humble in his playing so I think he knows when enough is enough.. Vai as a musician to the other should have the feel for music of his co-virtuoso the beat can follow through on that..

[@MirkoFustinoni]

No disrespect to Satriani and Vai, they're both legends...but honestly every time I watch this video I'm amazed by how effortlessly Guthrie just blows them out of the water.

[@fernandes5986]

Yeah, quite so.

[@jordandangelo180]

Yes absolutely

But I don't really know what his own personal style is because I heard him play all styles. Without effort (investment?)

[@chhangte_anp]

With due respect to Guthrie and Steve, Joe is on another level.

[@javierschiefelbein4084]

@@morten1 really? i actually think he has a very distinct style. he plays in often unpredictable patterns full of wacky slides and insane bends while closely following the key notes of every chord in the background, also throwing some chromatic notes for flavor. as an example, when listening to "have a blast" by periphery, you can tell PRECISELY when guthrie starts soloing because of this unique kind of playing.

Vai looks and plays like a Las Vegas magician...the David Copperfield of guitar, demonstrating tricks that amaze the audience yet tricks nevertheless. Guthrie looks and plays like an actual ancient wizard who was created to play the electric guitar by an order of Magi amidst the boulders of Stonehenge.

[@KickflipGnasty]

Guthrie sites Vai as is biggest influence. And he actually celebrates the exact thing your criticizing Vai for. Guthrie has said in interviews that he likes guitarists who aren’t trying to impress but to entertain, and that’s a big part of Steve’s style. Be that as it may, it’s not just tricks. A lot of what he does is very difficult to do especially if you’re trying to improvise over chords. Easy to criticize someone for the way they overuse certain techniques, when one tries to implement that into one’s own playing it becomes apparent how much talent it takes to pull off said tricks.

[@KickflipGnasty]

@Dr Diablory This also is not Vai’s most inspired playing. He plays way better by himself. I’ve never thought of Vai as “boxy” at all, he’s actually one of the top players I’d describe as having a very loose and free approach, but I agree Guthrie is amazing at doing that.

[@realtruenorth]

I have to say after watching the Hydra video, Steve Vai is the true wizard here, and I don't even like the guy or his music. I don't see Guthrie playing an entire studio simultaneously. Just keepin' it real Guthrie is amazing no doubt.

[@beautifulgirl219]

They are all individuals, I think it misses the point to rank one above the other. Having taken that position, Joe is such a melodist, along with all his other virtues, and it doesn't even occur to him that there is a "competition" in that sense, he's too pure and secure for that type of thinking / playing. I love all three of them, each is a blessing from the Ultimate Guitarist.

Vai and Govan are great players but musically speaking Satriani is (and has) always something more, something better... He's not just a technical virtuoso. He's pure magic with his tone and feel. That's why he always leads in the stage and it's always the other guys who follow his riffs. His musical aura is just all over the place... Overall he's the best electric guitarist and composer of all time IMO, there are plenty of reasons for that.

In fact as you can see, the crowd is reacting more in the positive way when Guthrie finishes his solo. And people like me are watching this video just because there’s Guthrie in it.

[@gil84rs]

I guess the people that were complaining about Vai and Satriani being afraid of doing a G3 with Guthrie are the ones now saying that Guthrie is on a different level than these guys. Well, in my opinion (please note I'm not a music critic, nor a reference for anything, just another person on youtube), Satriani and Vai earned their right to be on any music stage and have earned the respect way before anyone else, particularly Satriani. Without Satriani there won't be a Guthrie, he was the blue print that many followed. Whether you like his style of not, you have to respect that. On a side note, Guthrie is amazingly proficient technically, but doesn't have a voice of his own, if you were given this audio without the video, I'm pretty sure you would recognize Satriani and Vai's playing, but Guthries you might not.

[@Kvele]

I'm pretty sure you could recognize guthrie. He has a very distinct sound to him just like vai and satch.

[@gil84rs]

It could be my friend, I think he has inspired many kids to pick up a guitar and play which is a rarity nowadays, so his contribution is immense in that sense. Fortunately KZbin showed us how good he is, he should have been there with all the 80's shredders, but for some reason he wasn't. I still believe he doesn't sound unique, but that's again my opinion, glad you can hear the difference. Take care.

[@jacksankellerammot1364]

gil84rs just haven't listen enough of guthrie. I can recognize Guthrie's playing just one hit of a note.

[@yesandno6834]

i would recognize gg's playing on a first note. it's not a problem of spotlight or else. Yes, maybe you are right that satch and vai have the blue print or whatever you called it. But that doesn't mean that you can be disrespectful to guthrie. So if Hendrix still alive, i can say the same to satch and vai? because hendrix was playing before them, and he had the master of the blueprint that many followed?

[@Antrobrebb]

What a line-up.

[@b-sideplank]

About the Steve cutting off Guthrie comments... I have to admit, it sure as hell sounded that way to me too. Then I restarted the video and started to count beats. My conclusion is, and anyone else's would be too if they carefully listen and count, that Guthrie comes in a bit late and everyone plays over the equal number of bars - 2 bars or 4/4. Steve does not come in on Guthrie's designated place. They start to play one bar at around 2:53 mark. Other than that you could say Steve cut off Guthrie only once (I think around 1:30 - don't wanna rewind again). But the rest of the time Vai was coming in on exactly where he was supposed to and it sounded off only because Guthrie came in a little late, not starting on one. As for people saying Vai is not as good as Guthrie, you can fuck off. Vai play over a rock structure, rhythmically - all 4/4 stuff., because I wold presume that is the reflection of his time. I personally prefer a more jazzier rhythmic foundation. So, from that perspective you could say I like Guthrie more. But if you don't hear the brilliance in Steve's notes and composition and playing, you are deaf or don't understand music.
