Guthrie Govan - Donna Lee v2 (Charlie Parker Bebop) w/ tab

[@jasondesjardins7371]

My guitar is going to make a fine coffee table.

[@davidjulian4575]

had me burst into laughter, thanks mate!

[@psubba17]

Hahahahaha

[@EvilSean62]

I too burst out laughing ... cheered me right up thanks !

[@StuntmanJake]

Exactly how I feel when I hear Guthrie.

[@RobotChampionSC]

LMAO

[@reimass9244]

The nicest guy among guitarists and the nicest guitarist among guys.

[@davidjanson9900]

it was the best of quotes it was the worst of quotes dont shout just whisper

[@guitarttimman]

Nice? Sissy? Curls? Come on man! I want to see this guy loosen up, get a mean ass rock band, and just go out there and KICK ASS! I WANT TO SEE GUTHRIE NUGENT MAN! GUTHRIE NUGENT! :-)

[@reimass9244]

Little stiffed, ha? Check out my channel, I am the baddest there is, there was and there ever will be. I play 14 instruments at will and am a bass virtuoso and composer by birth and a violinist by education. If you want to see a tough guy listen to David Oistrakh. There are only a few real men in rock music, especially with long hair. Check out the Bhrams violin concerto if you think you have heard what is heavy weight and stop fooling yourself with all the rock sissies there are. And if you're still crying, Chicago Transit Authority can help you overcome the pain of no real men. Terry Kath was a man. Today manhood is so endangered that being like Guthrie Govan, nice and easy with no hate in your eyes means a great thing, so like I said: The nicest guy among guitarists and the nicest guitarist among guys. But your comment is very funny and I consider it to be a joke or something like that, you seem nice also. So don't worry, just think about other things too. Cheers!

[@guitarttimman]

I don't care if you play the skin flute man! I LIKE ROCK! Nili Brosh is my favorite YOUNG guitarist right now because at LEAST she can rip the shit out of some rock tunes and doesn't stand their trying to show everybody HOW MUCH BETTER SHE IS THAN EVERYONE ELSE! I DO NOT CARE IF YOU CAN PLAY A MILLION INSTRUMENTS! I LIKE ROCKING COOL HIPPIE TUNES! :-)

[@bobross372]

Guy is absolutely incredible. He can play any style almost effortlessly. Very melodic and soulful as well. Full package.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

what I like the most from Guthrie Govan is the sense of joy that he brings to his playing

[@zomesargentina]

absolutely! he never miss the chance to make you smile with his playing!

[@valberbrito6795]

fantástico!

[@nickburmanmusic]

I think that's the best thing he does.

[@markredford84]

I have a smile on my face everytime I watch him...Maybe cos he's nearly always smiling.

[@kaspafischer]

I'd have a sense of joy too if I can play like he does... LOL

[@kodyarocho4618]

I don't understand how this video only has 25K views. Govan is the type of musician that only comes around once a lifetime

[@tokyohotel13]

most people get too sidetracked by Lady Gaga and Beyonce and pop music in general to appreciate the real artists. and well to be frank you can't be an artist without suffering and most artists die without ever seeing their work reach the top

[@jamieflexman]

Those two are 'real artists', and world class with it. Guthrie is at their level in the guitar world, so there's nothing really to complain about.

[@craiglacour8887]

Thank you mentioning that. People in one category always putting down another, which is silly there so many styles of music.

[@ansem6167]

Guthrie is a wizard like gandalf he there as a force of good to influence the people he doesnt need the super recognition he is fighting evil behind the scenes loool

[@akimiltuban]

There's also Matteo Mancuso... They've got something in common

[@Wheelly1]

2:44 B.B. King 3:04 Wes Montgomery Not only notes, but also their sound is in his hands. I'm shocked.

[@jinkhorberrett9737]

He sounded like albert king at point too

[@amitaygeyer3287]

he sound nothing like wes

[@stuartweissman7306]

@@amitaygeyer3287 totally agree. GG is a fine musician, but he is not a jazz player. this statement is not a criticism nor a put down, nor meant to be competitive. He plays some nice diminished arpeggios and some fast phrase which skirts the changes, but he does not have the jazz syntax. He is an amazing musician who brings musicality to whatever he plays. But in this language, he is conversational, not fluent.

[@Coldcloves]

@@amitaygeyer3287 he does sound like wes.. listen closely..

[@amitaygeyer3287]

@@Coldcloves I’m sorry, but using that guitar with that sound, you just can’t say he sounds like Wes.... Wes is a lot more than just notes!

[@topdroog]

Guthrie is one of those players who makes me want to either A) go home and practice my butt off or B) go home and throw all my guitars in the dumpster.

[@SenatorBanana]

and its so hard to criticise him in any way. he shreds but he's also immensely tasteful when he wishes. he has jazz chops but he doesnt shove them in our face and go all ornette coleman on us. and then he just nails some country because fuck it, why not?

[@alifzahir3933]

That's definitely me rn 😂

[@arthurverlaine6434]

@@SenatorBanana Never truer words has been spoken about the man, not only you know it in general because of the videos out there, but also this one as well, ends on "Soo, lots of different ways you can do it"

[@julzcdg4880]

Everytime someone asks me who's the best guitarist out there p4p, string by string, fret to fret, it's always this man Guthrie Govan. Then they ask me why, i show them this. Everyone can shred that's given but to be this articulate and creative and humorous all at once and gives alot of wisdom when teaching is one of a kind.

[@biscobisco1882]

And not everyone can shred like Guthrie either, only a handful can hang with him truthfully.

[@neilb5305]

Never heard country picking in Donna Lee love it !....one of the best players to come out of the UK since Holdsworth.

[@Watzline]

The Best, Superb Be-Bop, loved the double stop country section, then I knew what he was up to, then Blues, awesome Metal Legato, big smile, joy to watch, not arrogant or look at me, though he knows he is the man, and finished up with Wes Montgomery octave thing, like rounding third base, after hitting a Home Run. Which he always does. Wish he would make more instruction videos, I could only scratch the surface.

[@theaustralianhulk]

that dude is at a level so far above anyone else its unbelievable!

[@caratcranker5874]

You got that right! , both GG, and RT, have got it SO FAR above the cloud of just great players....... Ron Thal that is.

[@commonsense1766]

well classical guitarist are surely above GG in their style.Check out Emre Sabuncuoğlu he's beyond GG,But saying that anyone can learn any style.

[@profd65]

They're better than Guthrie only at CLASSICAL GUITAR, which is the style they specialize in. But Guthrie is highly competent to virtuoso in many styles.

[@reimass9244]

That is true but there it is a similar case with Brent Mason in the US. Check out the Hot Wired album. He is also eclectic and about same generation and if Guthrie wins in shredding then Brent wins in even more tasty Jazz and Country licks and definitelly in the tone department. Guthrie sounds body-less as a plectrum sound producer, very pointy and unpleasant au contraire to his appearance. Not glad about it but just have to pretend that he sounds good when he does not in fact. Sorry. :(

[@sumoblues]

*Jack Pearson* Check him out.

[@joemrda84]

Probably the most complete guitar player of today! Long live Guthrie!

[@nogoogleplus]

His country pedal steel feel on this is great!

[@manningtreeosteopathicclin7108]

Met Guthrie a couple of times at the Army & Navy as it was then in Chelmsford . He was just chilling watching a few bands.. What a smashing bloke he was too. But Christ just when you think you've heard all of his skills another KZbin vid pops up. Stunning stunning player the most rounded on the planet... A pleasure to listen too.

[@bryan3dguitar]

Obviously one of the best guitarists in the world. Very melodic. So many music genres and guitar styles. So much virtuosity. Every note is golden. No mistakes. Like Tommy Emmanuel.

[@experimentalelectronica5016]

never heard vai try this, and for that reason.. long live Govan as the chief of all guitar gods..Thanks for showing us some some gainless shedding Guthrie..fan for life!

[@xxczerxx]

experimental electronica Watch them at G3, Govan totally embarrassed him, blew Vai out of the water.

[@zomesargentina]

i was looking for some similar playing to what Guthrie does on Steve's hands and yet couldn't find any jazz like phrase, at least not that obvious; yes GG does it all! Greatest musician ever!

[@zomesargentina]

in all of them or one in particular? could you give me one link please, it'd be fun to watching it, thanks

[@holliswilliams8426]

Steve Vai is not close to Guthrie Govan's level. When they were on stage Guthrie blew Vai out of the water.

[@MrMjp58]

A display of such brilliance, that one doesn't come across very often.

ah now to my ears and sensibilities he is shining in a form of music that suits someone of his ridiculous immense skill and talent. I struggle with wank outside of jazz flamenco and Indian classical music but I appreciate it's a free world.

[@benmurray-smith9650]

Thought he was still playing the walking bass line once he started the lead break. Slowly realised, not even Guthrie could maintain that bass and play those ridiculous runs. Still what a unique sound every time.

Hi, my name is Donna Lee, just like the song here, and not long ago within the same day I met two people one named Charlie, the other Parker (lol) and I joked about that saying hey yeah Charlie Parker, and now I'm looking at a picture of the Mona Lisa in my livingroom and Guthrie Govan is wearing a tshirt with the Mona Lisa in this video too ...this is too funny (lol) And I like to play guitar so I'm going to subscribe.

Guthrie is legit in ever style he plays, not like many other players that noodle over tunes without regard to the right touch and approach.

[@fretbuzz59]

+tonepoet Yes, he can legitimately play over changes. And he's digested enough jazz & country, and has the chops, to imitate the styles. But he lacks legitimacy in that he can't swing to save his life. His jazz and chicken pickin' is really stiff.

[@sayanorasonic]
