Guthrie Govan demos his "Dotted Eighths" TonePrint for the Flashback Delay pedal

[@JohyeahM]

"For a slow Blues player like myself, this is invaluable..." Ah, Guthrie...

[@Robstafarian]

It is always good to see Guthrie.

[@Nicksmix97]

0:47 "slow blues player" lol

[@viniciusmarcilio3194]

I love how honest Guthrie is.

[@chazbono5991]

Vinicius Marcilio he called himself a slow blues player, that’s about as dishonest as it gets, lol

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Love this Guy. Fantastic ( and humble ). Phenomenal Guitar Player.

[@ryanllewellyn3472]

I studied music performance as a guitarist in college and one day Guthrie took one of our lectures...my mind was blown with his musical knowledge in 2006 and still is 15 years later 🤯

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

"legendary Guthrie Govan" (shrugs). GG is such a nice laid-back guy.

[@invin7215]

It's funny how other guitarists like Malmsteen are in their leather get ups and covered in man-jewelry with walls of amps behind them, soaking up the attention as guitar gods, while Guthrie has the best chops of all but sits there in a t-shirt and blue jeans going *shrug*. I love it.

[@capturethelife]

Invin Guthrie seems like a dude who took a guitar, sat down and play for fun. He doesn't dress up flashy, he's Guthrie. A guy who plays the guitar really well. He is a no nonsense guitar virtuoso.

[@richardaaron4454]

Hey he's playing with Steven Wilson or at least he was last time I saw him. Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani and all those guys don't play in many songs you can name or sing. I remember when the guitar virtuoso thing was big and I was just like yeah but can you write a memorable song?

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Even Mr. Govan tweaks his knob until it feels right.

[@shatteredsquare]

hahahaahahhaha

[@2145mikey]

that at the end was beautiful...

[@Cablespelaonica]

Slow blues player? Yeah right.

[@1007antoinefull]

Of course ! The slowest of all xD

[@tmjvtxtmjvtx]

Ikr

[@sansui901]

"For bonus points" gotta love this guy

[@DrPekulier]

This guy... He's more comfortable playing then speaking. Outstanding natural talent.

[@Renhjarta]

I always think of a young Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) when I see Guthrie and hear him talk. Cool guy!

[@JohyeahM]

He gets that a lot.

[@illuminoid22]

Volume swell stuff is so cool...

[@Chris_Mann_2020]

WTF. I just finished a 30 minute tutorial on 8th note delay. Who knew you could just dial it in like he does here. 30 minutes vs 30 seconds and I feel like I get it after the 30 second explanation

[@Empathy37]

"If you're a slow blues player like I am..." LOL

[@Scias]

+Empathy37 Lol I was like "Lol u such a comedian Guthrie"

[@toneseeker87]

Dotted eight notes made easy thank you Guthrie!

[@michaelsnyder1492]

"And the delay will say, oh you mean this many seconds" I didn't know guitar pedals talk!

[@midilica]

you must be fun at parties

[@Guireles2007]

Always that humbleness... ; )

[@nicholaswoolfenden5254]

Very interesting thanks!

[@totalbullion5882]

Most importantly Guthrie taught us how to dial it in ourselves!

[@francissavage2070]

I love what Guthrie is doing here but I am struggling to do the same with my Flashback II. First off there is something I do not get this video is for his Dotted 8th Toneprint, which I have banked in Toneprint position 2 of my Flashback II, but in this video he does not appear to be using it per se. Either that or there is video trickery afoot. So Guthrie says he using his Toneprint but when you watch the video and you look closely at his pedal, the Selector Switch for Delay effect to me appears to be pointing to 2290 setting (see 1:30 - 1:35 of video). Granted it most likely is that the dotted 8th trick Toneprint is nothing more than the 2290 setting mixed with tweaking the Delay and the Feedback knob. That said according to the Video the settings for this trick should be irrelevant of Flashback I or II. Anyhow if I have understood according to the video it should work as follows with the settings at: Delay. set to the tempo of the song you are playing adjusting the knob as he does until you lock into the 8th note feel Note Toggle Switch: I cannot tell from the video but I assumed it would be set to the dotted eighth setting but it is not really discussed? Feedback: Appears to be set to approximately 12:00 Level: Appears to be set approximately to 12:00 Delay Type: 2290 or Guthrie Govan Dotted 8th Toneprint (again see above)? Sorry for being immensely thick on this but I just am not hitting the groove with what I have tried so far either with the 2290 or Guthrie's Toneprint and before I give up I just want to doublecheck if it is my own limitations or if I actually have something out of whack on the settings I am trying to work with. The exercise has hardly been in vain mind you I have discovered some pretty smacked out other delays going through all this. Any assistance/clarity/confirmation is welcome here. Thank you TC, I have been both a Flashback I & II owner and really get some phenomelanl use out of both delays. -F#

[@ERRTRADIO]

Cool stuff thank you for sharing

[@vikfm8655]

2:38 kinda blew my mind. Sounds like a viola

[@davidwantsahug]

Such a clever man.

[@TrevBec]

Last Exit to Nowhere t shirt!

[@stratmanuk]

I have just started buildingmy first board and I have the Flashback mini, can Toneprints for the full size pedals be used with the mini versions?

[@DennisCameronMusic]

Didn't Eddie Van Halen do this on Catherdral in 1981?

[@851852093114208513]

1:37 - lol was that Paul Gilbert's Blue Orpheus

[@theultimaterockr]

Sure does sound like it

[@Slears]

"..bla bla with none other then the legendary Guthrie Govan"..Guthrie is like "huh?! ME?! ahaha

[@ZanturA]

Is this the kind of pedal Ewan Dobson uses in the song Time 2?

[@caerulemusic]

it doesn't matter what exact pedal it is. any delay pedal will do this, all you have to do is set its parameters correctly. paul gilbert, van halen, buckethead, and the likes have all done the same effect using different pedals

[@ZanturA]

Alrighty, thanks!

[@caerulemusic]

sure thing, it's great fun to play with the dotted eighth delay :) oh yeah, i forgot to mention ... this is one of brian may's very own signature sounds too, although he tends to use it slower. he used to do this on tape delays using multiple amps, i think! what a guy

[@DavidJohnston_deadhat]

Nice guitar, nice pedal, nice guitarist, but what on Earth is that wallpaper?

[@MrKain789]

+David Johnston I'm sure it is 'Lincrusta' wallpaper. Hope it's not to late, and now you know this :)

[@DavidJohnston_deadhat]

I will put some up in my house and see how my playing improves.

[@necroyoli08]

I'm sorry ... I didn't quite get the "slow blues player" part ... so let me hear that again Gut

[@lastdaysguitar]

How many of us stopped and said "huh?" when Guthrie referred to himself as "a slow blues player"?

[@durhamduck836]

Let’s do an interview while the fire alarm rings in another room?!?!!?

[@tcelectronic]

?

[@durhamduck836]

TC Electronic skip to 1.44 and? if you’re young enough (to hear the frequency), you’ll hear a high pitch alarm

[@ehoc42]

"A slow blues player like myself" lol what a troll

[@thatmg]

2:40 holy fuck

[@franzbaggang264]

Waaaw

[@brooksharris3231]

Did Guthrie just use the word "slow" to describe his playing...?

[@WybjornVR]

SLOW blues player! SLOW! Guthrie, if you're "slow", then what the hell is "fast"?

[@Dylanmccoy442.]

He looks like scrim from $B

[@ale0605]

Only playyyyyyyyyyyy Caralho,,,

[@HyperspeedMedia]

Playing at 250BPM is SLOW to GODTHRIE GOVAN

[@chrisharringtonguitarist]

Slow blues player, haha humble as ever

[@ishmaelgeoffrey]

Lol if you're a slow blues player, then what am i? A snail that plays guitar?

[@Guitareben]

Slow blues player ahahahaha
