Guthrie Govan | Interview - Live Setup Guitarspot.Gr #5

[@Jase.Manley]

I wish this guy all the luck in the world man, he's a genuine down to earth guy and a fantastic guitarist

[@Pleasum]

"No one is going to give you a job in music just because you would like one." So true. This guy is freaking amazing.

[@cacophonyguitar]

Ive never seen a guitarist being so humble and eloquent. Now I've seen more videos of Guthrie talking than playing.

[@proc007]

Wow, Guthrie can really be inspiring when it comes to playing and getting better. I've been playing guitar for about half of my life and it's people like him who truly make learning the instrument and theory look awesome

[@gernotfrohlich6978]

as i expected - he is as developed in mind as on his guitar ;) genius!

[@paulmyfinger]

So pleased he chose guitar over English lit

[@88omair]

Sounds like he chose both tbh

[@shredtilyurdead]

IKR It really also shows much confidence in ones ability.

[@FlavioCastro81]

One of the world`s greatest guitar players with a humble setup!! It makes you think...

[@maximumbay]

guthrie is just a delight to listen to. so refreshing to hear an articulate guitarist.

[@ChrisHaspeck]

Gotta love a guy like Guthrie. He doesn't hide himself in a tons of sounds and pedals. Pretty much the basics and lets his playing speak for the rest of it. Truly a God in waiting !!

[@Jez1963UK]

I don't even play guitar and yet I love this man. I love his music. To me his comments about leaving uni with no career path and trusting things will fall into place, is a very spiritual way to be and live. Whenever he speaks I listen and learn.

[@tetra3000]

oxford to mcdonalds to professional musician, wow thats quite a swing

[@JamesRussoMillas]

I'm greek and a huge Govan fan. this is great stuff

[@HectorJulioSanchezInda]

Great Master!!.Gracias!(Héctor Julio Sánchez Inda.Professional Bass Player From,Berazategui,Buenos Aires,Argentina).

[@StratsRgreat]

Seems like a very nice guy and certainly a very skilled player. As a yank in SoCal I have always liked the GT mag and wish it had been available when I started.

[@CharlesAtcherson]

Great interview! Its good to see humble guys thats all about music.

[@vincenzoforte66]

Che piacere averlo avuto a monteroduni al nostro festival,grande maestro e grande anche il nostro mitico EDDIELANG.

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Great interview, clever questions for a change.

[@Stratblooz]

What a great and humble guy !

[@verty87]

What a truly interesting, articulate and modest guy. I saw him with Asia and he blew me away. Briefly talked to him at the end and he was just as convivial as he is here....phenomenal guitarist.

[@raito59490]

Realy cool to know that guthrie is not realy endorsed by Charvel, and he has a lot of project for the next year ! New studio album for the aristocrats, and solo album project ! Sooo good ! Ps: You can pre-order the live CD/DVD of the aristocrats on amazon, it will be disponible the 10 december exactly .

[@matthewcross]

I love the tone on that mic. So rich and crisp. Charvel should make a GG signature mic!

[@ANDYB1478]

Guthrie is such an interesting character; I could listen to him talk all day.

[@DerEchteBold]

Search for "The Aristocrats - JazzFestival in Germany", it's a whole concert from October 2012!

[@RoboRocker69]

Yes. The head is a Marshall JVM 410H to be exact.

[@gibsantho]

I agree with you I just think that the presence and brilliance offered by Suhr correspond much more to his right hand attack.

[@josody]

THAT IS SO AWESOME! YOU AND STEVEN WILSON!!!!!!!

[@antistres1]

Yiorgos Fakanas is the Greek bass fusionist mate..check him out ..he has some cool collaborations with big fusion names ....

[@bbnatedogg]

Wood might make a SLIGHT difference in ELECTRIC guitars, but nothing that can't easily be adjusted for by the amp's EQ or one of the tone pots of the guitar.

[@SoreEyeMusic]

'Maybe someone who was being secretly greek' xD Brilliant

[@RONDOC68]

That guitar looks awesome!!.....kinda has a Reb Beach surh model vibe to it.....nice!!!!!

[@VitorDuzarte]

This guy is simply amazing.

[@beano1eye]

it's a good interview you did a good job!

[@gkkes]

I watched Guthrie play at a small venue locally with Phil Xenedis (Greek) Phil X and the Drills/Bon Jovi

[@josue.guevara]

Actually, I found your questions pretty smart and insightful. We got pretty insteresting answers from Guthrie.

[@RandyLott]

There were some great questions. Guthrie is an incredibly humble person. I guess that's why he's so damn good.

[@baloons4satanists]

Why are all of Guthrie's guitars so beautiful? I know he has an endorsement with Fender/Charvel now instead of Suhr. BUT ALL OF THEM ARE GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL

[@nandoholgado3050]

I listen to a lot of interviews of this man and i find this one particulary honest and maybe a little edgy? In any case, he remains ultra wise and never out of place... What a dude!

[@Stratmahn]

Great interview Antistres1! You tactfully hit on Guthrie's 'paradox' that he loves to play 'live' to 'communicate' yet wants to edit fans' vids posted on KZbin. The truth here? Guthrie, YOU are is The Man, go with the live stuff! We'll all forgive you if by chance a 'challenging note' surfaces. I'm only 1/2 Greek but was raised with most Greek tradition...love it all! Also thanks for letting us hear that Guthrie is playing with Steven Wilson's Porcupine Tree this year! Very very cool!

[@luckmark71]

What a humble guy...awesome!!!

[@leckal]

Thank you very much, kind sir!

[@antistres1]

apart from the bad habits which is a pretty cool question and will be added in my arsenal ,and the general interests that i am not really sure about,all the other stuff u mention are in the interview in some way...gear tour may be dull to you but is very interesting for most guitar players..and also seeing a guitar logo in the headstock doesnt mean tha u get all the specs of ones guitar by looking at it...so i must disagree with u i that!thanks for your input anyways..its been very helpfull...

[@shredtilyurdead]

I like how he just made that metronome sound on his guitar XD Gotta love this guy!

[@Fsuholley]

Was a great interview! Add a touch of compression around the pig introduction. Wow, that pig was loud. Haha.

[@launiz]

Talking about his SG, I swear, he was about to get a bit teary.

[@tomkaytube]

Great interview.

[@sunnyjim98]

damn i knew the charvel pro mod necks were good, but i never thought it would be good enough to get guthrie to swap out his Suhr neck!

[@rahulpage]

Sweet Child of mine on neck pickup showoff 13:39 and hes a slash fan You Rock Guthrie!

[@cmcculloch1]

i met him once and had a smoke with him - i swear i wanted to haunt him - he was just as he is on these vids which is wonderful , cuddly and the greatest guitarist on the planet

[@bcjaliu]

What a great player, with a great attitude and sense of humor...and he sounds just like bloody Sean Connery! Close your eyes and listen!

[@thodorisnastos]

great interview!!

[@rengelgabriel]

Pure awesome speech. AWESOME.

[@thecharlesmacdonald]

YAY NEW ITERVIEW!

[@Lunarte.]

look that simple pedalboard! and what a great sound he gets!

[@mickenilsson]

Only a god of no measurable vast can be this humble.... =) You really want to listen when he talks... If I've had him as a teacher in school I maby had been better at grammar... =)

[@markwilkinson508]

Guthries such an intriguing guy. I t's hard to tell if he's being serious or just taking the piss at times. Such a dude.

[@axeman14]

9:09 just when you think he can’t do anymore he mimics a metronome perfectly 😄

[@zbarneyz]

When he said ''You could be living in a fishing village in the north of Norway'' I freaked out...I'm living in a fishing village in the north of Norway. I feel special now

[@VoopsyDoo]

Guthrie is really amazing in many ways!

[@311superfly]

ANYONE KNOW ABOUT JORGUS? OR HOW TO SPELL IT.GREEK FUSION.?GUTHRIE IS FANTASTIC.

[@timo-jaakkokuusisto9925]

Such a nice chap.

[@SSVplus]

And the RENTED Marshall JVM behind is pretty obvious. An amp, cab and speakers will affect your tone as much as, if not more than a guitar change.

[@nikosfragosofficial]

Super !!!

[@Diegosaurio]

"This amp has like 12 channels and I don´t understand any of them..." lol, so Guthrie.

[@antistres1]

well...thats the case with most interviews up in youtube...though i had a firts exclusive inside on his new guitar(in all propability)...that has to count for something...also if u check the comments below u will see that a lot of people still dont know how they came up with the name aristocrats...so thats news also....but i would love to have some suggestions for future interviews...what would u like to know that is not been answered in a previous interview???i would like your input on that...

[@CAGED1702]

Guthrie Govan: the most distinguished guitarist with a rock attitude...you just gotta love him :-)

[@tarquinshred]

i thought guthire recently started using Axe Fx? he was in one of their adverts recently...

[@sacredgeometry]

To be honest gear reviews are pretty dull, find out more about him as a person, his learning ethos, things he remembers as a child that really helped him learn....eureka moments, favorite guitarists for their phrasing and how they influenced his playing style. If there are any bad habits he struggled to remove or still has as a musician/guitarist. What his other interests in life are except english and guitar. His favorite books, songs, artists at the moment and how they differ from ones ...

[@endrizo]

best PEOPLE are humble

[@brandon5pennies]

FUCK I live in Nashville and didn't even know they tracked here.

[@extasis1111]

he's a freaking gentleman. !!!! the gratest!!!

[@prsfrank]

Love anything with GG

[@AraoftheFunk]

The drummer, is that the same "TAKE IT AWAY MARCOOOOO," Marco?

[@1642poltergeist]

best musicians are humble

[@user-q9j7n]

16:44 I love that sound he made, he never sounded more hilarious than that ever

[@wackyoneone]

That Charvel is stunning.

[@BarberForCatholicTalkingHeads]

22 minutes of recent GG footage yahhoooooooo!

[@pez---]

You did a great job :)

[@SixStringHarmonies]

I love the comment about "....Technical Monsters springing up." Brilliant analysis of a disturbing trend.

[@MrCoolhandLucas]

He is such a great guy#!

[@antistres1]

i still to this day dont understand why people juts waste their time commenting me....wtf??? criticism is very useful if u point out the weakness in someones work..still most of the people that say i didnt do a good interview 1)say nothing about why its not good and 2)have never tried to do anything similar...still i am not supposed to be on the spotlight here..regardless of my poor english u all understand what guthrie is saying...and that is all u should ever focus on....thanks pushkar!!!

[@candrelsrosa]

"[C] [U] [N]ext [T]uesday"... Brilliant!

[@sacredgeometry]

throughout his playing career/life. etc I dont know, you are the interviewer. Surely you do extensive background research on what hes been asked before and what people want to know before your interviews. Isnt that part of your job description?

[@aaronvernon8804]

Anyone know what amp he was playing through back there? Looks like maybe a JCM 2000 or 900 or something?

[@MRESL57]

what model of charvel is that? its beautiful.

[@sunnyjim98]

yeah i found that out, must be a recent endorsement!

[@leckal]

Who is he mentioning in the beginning? The fusion guy? Can't make that out

[@HektorInfante]

what's the name of the greek guitar player he is talking about in the begining of the video?

[@icedtorres]

sorry, i didn't mean his band. i meant the band he first played at that venue. yugosh or something?

[@TheGodlessGuitarist]

He was speaking to you of course! ;o)

[@ylcn77ylcn]

very nice great

[@torkee69]

i don't get that part.did he means that he doesn't liked to be filmed during clinics and gigs?

[@MultiSpinners]

what brand of guitar is Guthrie Govan holding in the begining?

[@PWalden762]

It is!

[@kyliewhillier]

Man what a cool dude Guthrie is

[@antistres1]

well,since I AM the guy thats doing the interview,i have to inform u that the whole point of the interview was not me laughing at his jokes,but squizing some questions in as much time as the gave me,and watching his manager all the time making signs telling me time is over ,and me trying to get some unique informations.i would love to have all the time in the word to chat an laugh but sadly,i didnt!!! but still i got the exclusive inside on guthries new guitar.that should count for something

[@MultiCarlio]

That voice... *.*

[@BradleyJohnHunt]

that Charvel is gorgeous

[@bubsadoozy]

There's nothing wrong with what the top # musicians are doing in regards to profit and advertising. To be able to do music for the rest of your life is a dream not many can accomplish. You need to cash in. You do not however need to sacrifice your musical ideals. Some don't, some do. Who gives a care.

[@gibsantho]

It is a matter of taste but the difference in sound is obvious
