Guthrie Govan / demonstration lydian dominant scale

1:56 Nice❤

[@kojam1]

0:00 to 4:34 -> SICK!!! 😱😳

[@teddypantelas]

His groove is so strong! Right in the pocket! He means every note that’s for sure, by the way he plays. I also dug how he swung at the end of the solo and showed that part of himself in this great funk groove solo. He is a great player! So musical all the way!

[@ernestdenov3599]

Just to be clear, the lydian dominant scale is the one he's using on the second chord. And yes, Guthrie is an absolute monster! Perhaps a few other guitar players can match his speed, but who else can play the crap out of virtually every musical genre?! I've heard him play country, jazz, rock, fusion, blues, etc... flawlessly! Besides being a master improviser with unlimited chops, he plays with a lot of heart and soul.

[@habatone]

If you consider music as a form of expression, he has a vocabulary of Shakespearean proportions

[@emerycomputer]

... in three different languages.

[@ZillianZilch]

I would say it’s more like the vocabulary of a particle physicist. It’s highly impressive and he’s clearly on another level but I have no idea what he’s going on about. Which is why most people prefer Brian May or Dave Gilmour. They’re very articulate in a language that people understand.

[@Jamsessionroom1337]

Funny u mention shakespearean because he was a lecturer for writing at oxford or something, dude had a comfy gig at a prestigious school and was like "Fuck it, i like this music thing more".

[@cheesofile666]

@@Jamsessionroom1337 he was a regular student at Oxford and dropped out after a year, at the age of 20, to pursue music full time. But yeah, he's obviously a very smart guy.

Never really gave Guthrie time before… that was mesmerising.

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

I watched many of his videos and I've yet to find a solo that is up there with the greats.

[@sourcescience]

In the era of ridiculous numbers of strings, extended range instruments and never ending sustain I much prefer someone using tone, attack and melody to get results.

[@keenanlarsen1639]

I agree. That's a good way to describe it.

[@modelcitizen1977]

His phrasing is just insane.

[@lucianoguitar7755]

hermoso, como para escucharlo todo un dia entero sin parar

[@brandonmoore7797]

I can't comprehend the musical ideas here (the dude's a genius) but I do know that between his bending and his whammy work, that's about as close to the sound of slide I've ever heard someone playing with their fingers make.

[@SuperXtoon]

You should listen to Michael Lee Firkins. He's an amazing player who can also imitate the slide sound with the whammy bar. His playing is quite bluesy but combined with more modern shreddy techniques.

[@brandonmoore7797]

​​@@SuperXtoon, I don't know how I didn't know about Michael, but thank you sincerely for turning me onto him. His playing is wild and is definitely very much like Guthrie's when it comes to that slide without a slide effect (or should I say Guthrie's is like Michael's). Watching his Hot Licks video is great because of the pace and camera angles. Specifically the way he hugs the tremolo with his pinky, then dives before playing most of the slide-like passages, and then adding the vibrato at the end (which happens to all the strings just like with a slide). Definitely demystified it a bit for me. Being able to duplicate it may still be ellusive, though. Edit: as I watch more of that Hot Licks video, he pretty extensively covers the technique. Pretty cool. Lots of other gems in there too. Thanks for giving me another rabbit hole to go down!!!

[@SuperXtoon]

@@brandonmoore7797 No problem. I think he plays in the song "Meet me in the morning" from the Jason Becker album "Perspective". I always thought it was Jason playing, but judging by the way it sounds, it must be Michael. I had never listened to him before until someone mentioned his name on the comments from that song on KZbin. You should definitely check that song out.

@@danflak6363 I was going to reply with the same comment. Guthrie is one of the best to do it but he is far from the only one.

[@evolagenda]

All glory unto him

[@mmarcheto1]

Its impressive how you can just come to youtube, type Guthrie Govan anda watch ANY of his videos.... and have the feeling of how supernatural this guy is and how can someone playing such beautiful music ... I love Satriani, Vai Petrucci, Morse, Van Halen, SRV, and the list goes on ... but sometimes I kinda expect what is coming next in their playing, eventhough they are genius .... but Govan, is different ! you never know what is going to be the next lick or sound !

[@CruelSun7319]

He made a mistake at 3:18 proving he actually is human.
