There are video and audio tracks for you to watch/listen and study, accurately transcribed TAB/notation for you to analyse and master as well as backing tracks for you to practise every lick to, and jam out your own solos! We've even included some text notes to help you really get these parts down!

Guthrie, in my mind, is the greatest guitarist alive. He's a guitar super computer. He has the skill to play anything, the phrasing and taste to play what needs to be played at the right time... he's the greatest I've ever heard.

[@mmm091000]

Definitely the best ever ! like he’s been in solitary confinement for 20 years playing nothing but his guitar 😅

[@Tremblay343]

I love how this video and the hendrix one, even 7 (almost 8!) years later, are filled with people who can't read. These are advertisements for the backing track, he's not playing in the style of B.B king -- he's playing in the style of guthrie to a B.B King backing track

[@Tremblay343]

***** Yup one of the best guitar players alive, probably couldn't play strictly blues if he wanted too. You're so right

[@karlkanner3467]

+Tremblay343 BUT HE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE . no shit he's Guthrie Govan

[@nicolasmann8770]

Actually he uses some b.b's licks.

[@lopezb]

So true. Rick Beato explains that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXycnIqEmMSKjpo

[@rickygallagher1677]

Finally someone says it.

[@marinooliveira4204]

Who needs to write solos when your phrasing is impeccable

[@phallystorm]

Every once in a while a Monster like Guthrie comes around. All the haters, and skeptics.Shame on them, The Man did his homework, and plays ridiculously well.He is not just shred! The Man knows Tone, and has tremendous feel.Sure, maybe a handful here can mimic his style, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Guthrie is a MONSTER!!

[@philipsummers9682]

He's very gifted 😊 but also very humble, how can anyone be skeptical , or haters , he has the innate talent to play guitar! It's music for everyone! The proof is the soulfulness of his playing

[@pablohanc]

great playing as usual by Guthrie. For those criticising, it's the backing tracks that's in the style of BB King, not the solo.

[@clotterdotter6253]

Exactly, you know how to English

Now they know.😁

[@havardstre4269]

@@petedavid5127 lol what

[@DrewElGringasho]

Exactly. But even then, for all the haters, if you listen Guthrie incorporates isms and feels from every respective artist on their respective backing track

[@sduke39]

I'll bet B.B. loved Guthrie's work and would smile that big old smile listening to this. Miss you B.B. And thank you Guthrie.

[@mediastarguest]

sduke39

[@michaeljamsmithband]

Truthfully, this would not find much love among the blues community. But you would be correct in this. I think BB listening to Govan play one of his jazz-oriented composition, that would knock BB out of his chair. BB loved great guitar playing. But this particular cut? No. BB would say, "Be you".

[@idk9637]

tbh i doubt he would like it

[@TiNO77711]

the backingtrack is amazing (too)

[@jasondesjardins7371]

I used to think I could play guitar.

[@Andrewkafp]

Guthrie must have a large brain. How could anyone remember all those notes and phrases.

[@michaelkimber6203]

Absolutely fabulous. Guthrie's talent knows no bounds 👌

[@MightKillDawn]

He’s like the one guitarist there’s no controversy over. He can play, period.

[@jto541]

When you can both melt peoples faces and make them cry in the same improvisation, all while being a humble and funny gentleman, it's near impossible to find any criticisms.

[@JonnyRollin]

Guthrie is the new King

[@demonCleaner8472]

just amazing !!! rhythm and control of this guy is top notch ... doesnt matter if you like him or not - there is no question about him being a great guitarist! instead of arguing here ... why dont you haters post some videos of your playing and let us see what you have to bring to the table ???

[@PauloPereira-wg5rr]

Thank you Gruhtrie 🌐🎶🎵

[@iggydisalvo]

This solo is absolutely phenomenal

[@back2backband1]

@Ljupcheeee we can smell and love too bad we all can't play it!! lol guthrie is one of a kind, no one is that fluid but him! ! guy is a genius over sized brain!!

[@NisseEricsson]

Incredibly clean and smooth yet so fast. Very nice melodies as well. Guthrie is great.

[@srvgravesdime]

thank you for being a mature individual, keep it real

[@cookingnotes]

This guy is really great and the Guitar is a Carvin also one of the best guitar's made and made here in America I have two of them for life .

[@joeleke64]

@kmboling a piece of genius who knows what else he's got up his sleeve.. his bag of tricks is practically endless

[@petiethepitt]

I agree,Govans fluidity,amazing phrasing,vocabulary of styles,and lick arsenal is second to none.Ive been a a Vai hard,satch,Petrucci,etc for yrs and Govan is a little of everyone combined.I look foward to the future with Govan setting a new bar in modern instrumental guitar music.He is hands down the most well rounded player Ive ever heard period.Just my opinion of course.

[@gitarmats]

It's just crazy how good he is.

[@jeffhamula]

I like the licks best at the beginning that show how much head room he has - meaning, when he holds back, but you know he can shred.

[@Zimbabweland]

Even when he plays slow, he give it so much soul and imagination. And he uses so many interesting and colorful notes combined with impeccable technique and blindingly fast runs, it's just... wow. Awesome.

[@rolandhorvath6604]

Damn! Insane! I like the playing from Guthrie!!!! One of the best players alive! Strange Style but i like it so much

[@ChrisCunninghamGuitar]

He makes me so happy.

[@huolevi]

those octave- and fast legato-licks are played with emotionally charged fingers! :)

[@GonzaAnt93]

This video isn't called "Guthrie playing in the style of B.B. King," it's called "B.B.King style track." Big difference there for all of you complaining he didn't play in King's style. Everybody knows that no one else can play like King.

[@W4Rnerv]

I can listen to this all day...

[@wrensongmusic]

Leaves me breathless...

[@ckalas]

I've watched this so many times and it still amazes me

[@IcarusNadir]

He did bb's style in the beginning, added his own in the end

[@Makumazahn77]

Just brilliant playing. Love his right hand techniques as well! 🎸💪

[@petiethepitt]

Ya know what,I never looked at it that way before.The way chromatic's work with Jazz/fusion formats your 100% right.Thanx for helping me see it that way because I would not have if you had not mentioned that.Also thank you for keeping this a good insightfull discussion.I always keep an open mind because guys that let themselves be blinded by there opinions miss alot when they dont listen to other points of views.Well done and looking at it that way does in fact validate what you are saying.

[@MrUggy10]

1 of the top guitarist in the world,any style you want this man can deliver!!!!!!!!

[@score_1337]

the transition right at 1:06 is the best thing i've heard in a looooooooooooooong time. this one note changes everything, so simple but just genius! replaying it for 10minutes now.......

[@darrellart]

@Bo Deanicus: I understand your comment about noodling on this particular track, even though Govan is one of my favorite guitarists of all time. But he has written LOTS of stuff that is extremely interesting melodically, in tempo/syncopation, and technically. Familiarize yourself with more of his work (after all, he's just extemporizing here) and I think you may raise your opinion of him. Lastly, with Govan, even the noodling is special; more like hand-made pasta from the Abruzzo region of Italy. : ^ )

[@ParkerAntoine]

this is beyond great playing

[@GeneralGuitFiddle]

My bro walked by my room and said, "That sounds like a shreddy BB King."

[@geocip1]

Good stuff for sure!

[@DanielGrozdanov]

great improv!!

[@gordodls23]

I love this one! And to think I would have never known about this guy if my cousin never showed him to me! I love it when he throws in those jazz octaves at 1:23! I myself am a bass player, but I could watch this guy for hours!

[@Shadolf]

wonderful soulful playing ...

[@Stormchaser335]

Wonderfully described.."maintains the message of the music beautifully...." is spot on. Wish I'd thought of that one..! I like to think that I play FOR myself. But most of the time i just play WITH myself (guitar that is.....)

[@Y.S.777]

it's so beautifull

[@Ibanezguy2007]

Im crying now..its that good.

[@Hardysamnin]

@Fender52604 - Not only that, I think it's pretty safe to assume he is just given these backing tracks, and asked to record solo's over them, with no "This is a B.B. King style backing track" it's just a track. If they had been labelled as such, you can guarantee the attempt at recreating them would be spot on.

[@charliehustlenflow]

its amazing that someone playing some cool music and expressing themselves in a real way for once can piss you off that much

[@azngreenteas]

that is one sick tone.

[@NameSupplied]

@Hardysamnin Point i'm trying to make is, i feel some people that play instruments tend be attracted to certain musicians more so on there technical talent. Having been into technical stuff in the past, i found i was blown away more by the brushes used then the painting itself. perhaps you guys like the painting more than then the brushes, which is good, but i'm sure there's many that like the brushes more than the painting, which is the wrong balance.

hes not trying to be, he is. deal with it. and listen to his work its every bit as emotional and soulful as any player hes just also technically perfect and tight. and very rarely with out flaw

If I could play a solo like that over a backing track in the Style of B B King (note the solo is not in the style of B B King - just the backing track) anyway as I was saying...er...if I played a solo like that I'd take the rest of the day off.

[@molina21000]

INCREIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,GOVAN

[@genin8562]

Great solos and great player! The only thing is that I don't see any "BB King style" here... However I love Govan!

[@genin8562]

Ah ok, sorry for the mistake!

[@AFFIXIATION1]

***** Why the fuck are you such a moron?

[@wrensongmusic]

Ah yes, all of the players you describe there bring something fantastic to the table, and the future looks very exciting indeed with all of these brilliant guitarists paving the way.

[@BuddhaPrime]

Stop thinking that the improvisation is in the style of B.B king, it's the backing track that is in the style of mister King. Gutrhie just promote this backing track. And god what a damn perfect promotion. Govan you're my god!

[@femunu]

cool improvisation.

[@devota]

it's nice he can play so incredibly fast, and still make it sound good and melodic. Not just scales up and down! :D

[@mike7able]

omg ppl!! it says BB king style TRACK! its the track that resembles BB king not necessarily the playing of Guthrie. Anyhow its amazing and Guthrie reigns!!

[@ccledman]

great one man! amazing! it's look like SRV too.

[@deadzior]

perfect feeling

[@GabrielKai]

What kind of awsomeness is this? Rock Chicken Picking? it's out of this world, Lovely :D

[@blurginouliz]

the secret is in how we see and face the process, and not in the process itself, I know this because I've played another instrument since I was a kid, and the process of learning was as natural as learning to walk for me, and now I can say I have great proficiency and skill at playing it, then I started to play the guitar, and as I watch ppl like Govan in youtube, I get a more conscious perspective of it, and it kind of feels like tht's my curse.. learning is unconscious.. thts it guys =)

[@milleribsenalbeefan]

0: 44 the only guitarist that can bombard you with enough perfectly synchronized notes to the extent where when he throws a killer double tone bend it sounds like dramatic silence...

[@blueleadguitar]

great guitar tone, love it!

[@cheapguitardude]

Awesome!

[@KnowKnot]

0:41 to 0:44 is the purest example I've ever seen of how to take a technique that is virtually ALWAYS a clump (even if a very good, fluid, beautiful clump) and BREATH into every note. Unbelievable.

[@mike7able]

this makes my morning every day:)

[@RenatoSalamun]

Magical!

[@Kingding6]

@vazon69 you do have to understand though that this is not a song, and he does not try to make it one. It is a demonstration of what can be acheived over this backing track. He can play slow, listen to his album.

[@godwit7777]

technically brilliant and soulful. the word 'perfect' shouldn't exist in art, but it doesn't get much better, in my opinion.

[@duanehankins7077]

[@tomcurly8944]

They can't. That's what their problem is.

[@matts15]

1:22 to 1:26 amazing, great technique, incredible track.

[@Scias]

What I did was I watched a lot of Guthrie videos! lol. Blues is my favourite style to play as well. If you listen to guthrie enough you'll start to realise how he just imagines his favourite note that would come next and then play it. Hope you can understand :) I was stuck for a long time but its only temporary

[@111chazz]

As refreshing as a cool summer breeze.

[@cookingnotes]

Look at the headstock how its cut thats a Carvin , also look at the tow knobs in the back there are two toggle's you can barley see .also the ribbon edging that is around the guitar fender has never used .

@deadithink there was an old bluesman called mel brown that said he does not want to be famous. he wants to be able to go to his favorite bars and walk peacefully down the street.

[@wesmatron]

Good one.

[@SandbrycMusic]

you're not getting what i'm saying....it's a solo....which in my opinion is a musicians way to express what they are feeling through they notes they play on their instruments.....it doesn't matter what notes they play only if what they are feeling at that moment gets out to the audience
