Guthrie Govan live 2017

Live near Venice

[@LyonLevi]

The better I get at guitar, the more I understand what a monster Guthrie Govan is at it...

[@rifflife]

Dude is on a completely different level of guitar playing than anyone.

[@FatPankakes101]

Certainly within his genre.

[@rifflife]

Blair Holmgren Seeing that he plays just about all of them, I would agree.

[@jeom0498]

Blair Holmgren what is his genre?

[@84furqan]

Blair Holmgren I’m sorry you’re disappointed that GG doesn’t play Miley Cyrus covers. But if he did, even those would be incredible. So shut the f**k up and appreciate his genius, if you can’t do any better yourself.

[@FatPankakes101]

howlinwolfkillinfloor why are you bringing up Miley Cyrus?

[@tobes9074]

It's so nice to see some footage not filmed by a potato. In 5 years all videos will be like this!

[@beerandbarrechords8035]

people will still hold the phone the wrong way around

[@TripToTrappist1]

every time i hear guthrie's solos my head turns into a potato

[@michaelireland7239]

the morew i watch guthrie govan the more i realise i know nothing about guitar , im giving up tomorrow never to play again ,, guthrie govan i tip my hat to you sir the best ive ever heard

[@DCSeraph]

A living legend. Best guitarist on the planet rn.

[@gevamaor4908]

Have to agree on that one

[@111chazz]

It's hard to believe after all the Guthrie clips I've seen (I've also seen him live) that he is as fresh as that first encounter and ceases to amaze me. There are many but he is thee ONE. No need to impress just does his thing and enjoys every second of it. Guthrie and the guitar as ONE. Fantastic quality clip, feels like I'm there, thanks.

[@SuperJacknyc]

Zappa (if he were alive): "kid, you're hired."

[@GM-cf6jv]

On the 8th day of creation god resigned and Guthrie took over. Hallelujah!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Super nice, humble guy and an Absolute Freak-Show on Guitar. I have not been this Amazed since Mr. Allan Holdsworth ( R.I.P. ). Guthrie is truly one of The Best on the planet.

[@mrpepre]

best version of the inspector gadget theme i've ever heard

[@mrpepre]

@3:44 i honestly deserved more likes for this reference lolol!

[@jonpitt8504]

Guthrie shows us the past, the present and the future of the guitar .... all in one solo. Brilliant!

[@stephenhall3515]

A great way of expressing this man's astonishing talent and creativity.

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

He's just recycling other people's ideas though. What is he doing that's original?

[@ekimmj1]

amazing video, amazing sound , amazing guitar player, thanks.

[@dreamguitar555]

I could say - one of the best in history

[@worzel7]

I've had the pleasure of listening to Guthrie lots of times , and he is a charming bloke, and a rapid little player, with that layed back feel, easy in the ears, minus the crunch.

[@rowshan.rafiul]

Thanks for the amazing quality video footage. feels like I am present there. And Guthrie never ceases to amaze me.

[@canalguitarrasemcontrole2040]

Sou fã desse genio.

[@johnc7801]

I feel bad for Guthrie's guitar...he kills it every time he picks it up. : ( That was some badass bass & drumming too!! Great video alexduke. Thanks!!

[@sawdust6968]

the BEST EVER!!!

[@blesseins4658]

Just let the duck have is fun ...next ...ask him for a little sweet song , so simple , so ...sweet tears blossomed !!

[@TheMetalslayer100]

His improvising skills and invented fill ins are amazing... We can hear that on this Bad Asteroid- Version for example, he plays that Song different everytime and everytime it sounds absolutely incredible, because he plays everything with such an exactness, just wonderful!

[@BustinBoarders]

Awesome as always! Song: Bad Asteroid by the Aristocrats. Cant believe so much talent can be in one band!

[@ForceIII]

couldn't have given this video a better name mate

[@firstnamesurname6550]

'... Please, Don't Clap ...' (Man, If My Daughter hunts a Guy like Mr. Govan, I will be The Happiest Father-In-Law in This Planet.)

[@TarnTarn-zv6cp]

2:48 best mouth organ EVER lol🤘

[@dlees8432]

improv mastery. the one and only

[@rtrooperw8115]

This guy is so damn good!

[@hlawnthuan7952]

you are the best

[@ShredHeadJHJ]

Interesting to see 6 people still struggling to play Nirvana riffs.

[@vacant4]

hahaha was that inspector gadget!? 3:45

[@jada90]

If you look at other live performances he likes quoting it in that spot :)

[@carylee7118]

Nicole

[@JIMKUltra]

Well spotted! I read somewhere Guthrie and Ron Thal used to play bits of tv show themes to each other for a laugh

[@augusttwosix8477]

So much genre and technique perfectly mashup in one guitar solo.. What the Helll....! OR AM I DRUNK..? Please tell me.

[@tezen6190]

I think it's both.

[@gavleo6303]

VENEZIA! I missed it! GG is unbelievebly good

[@mkilner]

...Genius!! 👏🏻🌟🇬🇧🎸

[@huskvarsm]

this guy is a genius when you see him behind steve vai or paul gilbert it only means one thing these guys really like his playing praise from cesar.

[@mattgarcia9687]

BRAVO!!!!!!

[@Alexamdern]

He knows the guitar like the universe knows itself.

[@joeyhoule6335]

This specific version is so fucking sick on my god this intro right into that lick

[@Scias]

Main man Guthrie strikes again, new guitar sounds nice

[@perhakangrotli7478]

does anyone remember catweazle a television series from the '70s. Guthrie Govan he looks identical pillemarisk out as ¨catweazle¨ . I loved the series .This is not the slander of his person, but it's a wonderful combination. Guthrie Govan champion of champions . He is not the 1% he is 100% . Do you agree with

[@leetattoo1976]

Brilliant!

[@vaanff1942]

Maravilloso

[@bytton]

Paul Gilbert, Satriani, Friedman, Eddie.... but Guthrie belongs to a far away planet.

[@chiefprimo5827]

guthrie Govan is an upgrade geetar God

[@3vadguitar5645-._AzZa_.-dAna]

😍😍😍

[@imeverywhere3969]

I tried learning that song. He surely makes sure no1 can play what he is playing

[@DavidPurviance]

I find it interesting how he sings along with each note.

[@guitarciaaleon5900]

💎🏄🏻‍♂️🥳

[@marstudios7879]

Guthrie real master.

[@guncex73]

Black Knight, deep purple.

[@parengjec2755]

My Guitar God !

[@haweesanaqi3620]

[@fastguitars4380]

Exceptional

[@Rodge948]

OMG!

[@gunnerturner903]

"All right... here we go"

[@stitcha123]

He’s a brilliant guitar player but if I hear him I just feel like I’m buying a bathroom in Milton Keynes.

[@Jeepjones85]

I wonder where this was filmed at? I see guitars in the background. Guitar Center or a Hard Rock

[@alexduke71]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp_UaZyOhJJ8fcU

[@carlosescudero9845]

where are the rest of the crew, Brian and Marco?

[@nicklee5610]

Miles ahead of Satriani and Vai

[@VeganSemihCyprus33]

Started funny, end up being awesome :D

[@26310129]

what is this song call?

[@pedromuniz3217]

He reminds me Erick Johnson mix whit steve vai 🙄

[@professorellisaki]

MR. GOVAN is the GO MAN , kinda' like the Energizer Bunny " He keeps going & going & going !

[@gonuts55]

amazing!!! what's the name of this song?i'm sure i've heard it

[@irena7777777]

gonuts55 Bad Asteriod.

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Black Knight by deep purple I believe.

[@eldub7191]

Amazing playing. Weird looking gig.

[@stevenjohnston2263]

he is very, very skilful. His playing doesn't give me goosebumps though.

[@denholmrobert528]

listen to his piece "remember when" that'll fix that problem

[@OhJHS]

Drive Home!

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

I've heard a lot of his solos and none, even the Wilson one, have ever done anything for me. For all his efforts in playing fast he definitely lacks feel and finesse in his playing.

[@pzdipuing]

Guthrie govan is God....you can check out bumblefoot same as him

[@pissboy8006]

why aren't him and Victor wooten best friends

[@mousehead2000]

He is such a geek.

[@ryanblabla0909]

catweezle shreds

[@robertbrown1778]

Yes. I've been thinking this for ages. Have they ever been seen at the same time? I think we should be told.

[@aryzBulo]

Totally Crazy...!!!! Behind words!!!!!!

[@teruyaguitar]

God…

[@sakules]

I think Guthrie surpassed god by this point

[@Egeruk]

What that song?

[@jada90]

"Bad Asteroid"

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Black Knight by deep purple.

[@freedomyang5536]

牛b

[@ahmedguemour1194]

mes cheveux ce dresse hhhhh 💪

[@markko812]

Steve Vai tone 100%

[@rafaelsuhendra4954]

New Modern Steve Vai...

[@CHIG5748]

Love this guy but a perfect example of scales vs. feel. Listen to Robin Trower. I know it's a different genre but it's the emotion you pull from the guitar. Scale & feel see: Paul Gilbert. Guthrie is a master no doubt. Just an opinion. In his defense, I've seen him better.

[@faaizali1]

Paul T. LOL

[@joseluisviverosaranibar793]

Pure theory and zero feeling.. when he plays I only here the scale that he is playing I don't here the song ..

[@naelz1114]

He reminds me of a mama croc who can gently carries her babies in her mouth and use that same mouth to demolish a poor innocent gazelle :| #NotFromThisPlanet

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

A mess. Worst version of Black Night I've ever heard.

[@mickm8028]

If Guthrie is the best player ever? Where are all his massive hits, where is his packing out stadiums ? Jack of all trades master of none . Yngwie is master of neo classical , Guthrie learnt it from the master , psychedelic dirty blues Hendrix was master . Goes the same for any style , how is it possible for him to be the best at guitar encompassing all styles? He has a huge talent but he is not the be all and end all off guitar , each player has his own nuances it should be this that makes you individual not copying everyone elses nuances .too sown up in showing off to write a nice slow melody that has emotion and substance rather than technical drivel .

[@codymarkley8372]

mick m I think the point you are missing is that he seamlessly blends the aforementioned styles meanwhile injecting his own personality into them, and vice versa. I don't think it's an innapropriate estimation to say that he is by far the most complete Guitarist to ever have any sort of decent exposure. is he a master yes, is he perfect no. As I mentioned before his "seamless," integration of most major musical genres would place him above any living guitar player in the know, as of now. I think the next "Govan," won't be better, they will just expand what he does with none of the background.

[@robertbrown1778]

You are forgetting what he has over most other 'rock guitar gods' - his ear. Malmsteen, Hendrix, Vai, Eric johnson etc. have/had their own shtick, but would all drown in a real jazz fusion improvisational environment for example, and in fact, any real improvisational environment. That's Govan's most comfortable area - interacting, flying by the seat of his pants in any genre.

[@krlosvitev]

El problema es que pensamos que todo es una copia de todo y lo mejor ya pasó, si valoramos a cada individuo tendremos una perspectiva diferente y podríamos apreciar lo que cada músico hace.

[@SoreEyeMusic]

Sorry, not gonna explain, i expect of you to find out why i'm writing this on your own; but you've missed the point of Guthrie all together. Happy hunting

[@JyriSalonen]

mick m So, Ringo Starr must be the best drummer ever?!?

[@steinetakorgroovy]

Can not even compare him to an average jazz player. His frasing is completely predictable- and completely boring for a jazz player.

[@sqizz10]

I'm pretty sure guthrie fall into the jazz fusion category. So no. He is not your average jazz player.

[@sqizz10]

And his "phrasing" is awesome!

[@agustinares930]

You are the definition of envy dude

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

I too think his phrasing is poor, he's shifting his fingers too quickly with this sliding finger thing he likes to do.

[@dsvet]

Greg Howe blows this dude away.

[@dsvet]

Richie Kotzen blows GG away as well.

[@Erkki_Mela]

dsvet Grow up.

[@oroluia2070]

Greg Howe about Guthrie: ""Our definition about who is the greatest ever needs an update. """

[@SixStringChannel]

Greg Howe would disagree.

[@dsvet]

Yawn! Of course he would, and does. Otherwise people would treat him like they do Yngwie. He'd be considered an egotistical jerk. I'm not Greg and I can see Govan is just an imitator. I mean Tosin Abasi, yeah that dude is original. Govan is just attempting to do what has been done before.
