Fives - Guthrie Govan, Gergo Borlai, Anton Davidyants. CONCERT IN IRKUTSK 2019.

[@jobert1991]

That high school band intro. Lol

[@eriklarson9137]

I guess I am too simple. It never improved from there in my opinion. It is hard to listen to this.

[@greypeterson628]

@@eriklarson9137 It’s not intended to be an easy listen.

[@drinks-your-water]

​@Erik Larson that was the point

[@skierpage]

​​​​@@eriklarson9137this is a crazy version of the song. I'm familiar with the album version of "Fives" on Erotic Cakes, which starts with 15 seconds of weirdness, but here they're all over (including "Meet the Flintstones" and the original Mission Impossible theme?) before dropping into the song proper at 3:17.

[@roba1899]

God, the way Guthrie pretended to suck for the first 30 seconds was brilliant! And then he improvises, The Flintstones, meet the Flintstones!

[@roba1899]

Take 5 at 3 minutes in .. he's genius. THEN FIVES.

bro he even sounds amazing when he tries to play bad, wtf

[@hermesperseus8586]

Guthrie is the only guitarist i've ever heard with this level of technical ability but who sounds actually amazing

[@billwhitman4125]

Usually when a guitarist shreds this fast it winds up sounding like a mosquito in my ear. Not Guthrie ...

[@gwul4373]

Never haard of JEFF BECK? 😂

@@gwul4373 - Jeff Beck is a legend, and was a great influence for Guthrie. However, he is from an earlier, simpler era and doesn't hold a candle to Guthrie's technical skill.

Those are my top 2 t00. How weird is that? For me personally no one can beat Timmons' phrasing and note choice but I think Guthrie objectively has the best note selection of all the guitarists.

Does Guthrie play these sort of gigs in the Uk and we just don't hear about them? Or just in the depths of Russia? I like the fact he doesn't just play for making money, athough we knew that already, but I'd like to see him close to home smh.

[@kutyuvadi6858]

Look for the Aristocrats on KZbin!

[@TheAiket]

If I'm not mistaken Anton Davidyants who plays bass here and brought Guthrie with Gergo in Russia. He said that it's more profitable for fusion guys to play in Russia, because people here are hungry for this stuff

Max Ostro and Guthrie Govan playing together : that would be awesome. And both look like Stranger Things villains (even though in English Max sounds more like a Harry Potter villain). Let's get them both together.

[@MetalheadNation]

Couldn’t agree more! Max is a one in a billion talent, and to be so skilled at the instrument at only 18 or 19 means that he will continue to grow and develop as a musician for years to come. We have yet to see his best, and he is already one of the best electric guitarists in the world. Hopefully someday the two will play live together

[@11calman]

Fuck, his Fast

[@gimmeagig]

They have to go all the way to Irkutsk to get a gig. That's how unpopular this type of fusion is. LOL. But seriously , it doesn't matter how fast you can play and the chops you have on your instrument. You still need compositional chops too. This music doesn't do anything for me. I listened to a bunch of his stuff and there is no feel. no groove, no vibe, no pocket no melody, no interesting chord changes, nothing memorable about it. I don't see the point.

[@premium3429]

Completely agree!! As a player, technician he's a monster, but as a composer? It's uninspiring music.

[@gypsyfromthesatelliteoflov5425]

Its fine not to like it. Not seeing the point sometimes is the point. Music is relative and personal... you wont connect with every piece of music but when you do, thats what makes it special :) This one in particular was my first time hearing an Am to a G# Lydian to C# Lydian in a 5/4 time sig mind u... that in my book is an interesting composition but i get that thats not for everyone Also their recent duckling US tour was sold out :)

[@Migler1]

Tempo is a little bit too high but good job.

[@Igorguitarful]

In that tempo, "good job" is a bit of an understatement

[@Migler1]

@@arthurv8905 no I mean it’s the band I’m saying that they are playing the song a bit too fast, but Guthrie nails it flawlessly every time

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

Guthrie is a great rock guitarist. However, he is trying to play fusion and he lacks the improvisational skills for it. He is mostly shredding, no harmonic exploration and no rhythm (in context of phrasing). Improvising has nothing to do with what he is doing.

[@rayjones5157]

He plays this song different every single time. Check out some of the other takes.
