Guthrie Govan: Professor Shred #4

[@breadsanta6414]

"you might wanna check if you can do that" Guthrie I don't need to check

[@robbiedickson5296]

Same thought man, same thought

[@mikemoran7036]

Haha yeah I checked just ro confirm that I can't

[@plopperator]

I've been working on a technique where I use my nose as an eleventh finger

[@BrunBacken]

I have been working on something similar! As the human capo

[@egSmith-sp9gl]

I use my bird !!

[@renatoarauz7784]

Check out andre nieri a tune called oceans ;)

[@Loathello]

*searches for the LOL icon*

[@ashishvivian2224]

😂😂😂

[@SD-ng4gm]

Erotic Cakes is a masterpiece. It’s the pinnacle of fusion guitar creativity and precision. The only other album that comes close in the genre is Powers Of Ten by Shawn Lane. This whole masterclass was eye opening

[@BermsideProductions]

I love how he does his demonstrations clean and not distorted. Not too many people do that.

[@capoman1]

He is so good, and so good at explaining how to use things as well. Guthrie really is a wizard!

[@ianwheeler8764]

I not only love Guthrie's playing and writing, but also his dry brit sense of humor.

[@ianleonard3264]

I agree with Ian

[@pppantazis1]

what an intresting and inspiring teacher......he leads you to love...to need the instrument in the most natural way, he convinces you that if you want it seriously...you can do it......

[@TheNeverendingfire]

socrates once said: the more I know, the more I realise how little I know! Guthrie is living proof of that! every one of his videos opens up new possibilities for me! thanx for your generosity Guthrie! long live the king!!!

[@MedalionDS9]

This guy must love Jazz music...every lesson I hear of him, I hear jazzy touches in his playing

[@irritatedmushroom2]

I've had the privilege of meeting Guthrie on multiple occasions, he's such a great guy, really willing to share his knowledge of guitar technique and ability. Great video!

[@1992OGW]

"Bit of a tap-dance." See what you did there Guthrie.

[@TomTaucher]

That sound, its so bright, spacy and wonderful. Thank you Guthrie, for this marvelous lick!!

[@TheJasonEstes]

This guy is the only guitar player I can watch the whole lesson videos for. Captivating...

[@still2weirdfoU]

When he started playing the suspended arpeggio, I just smiled.

[@BKGuitarAF]

Every video by this guy sparks my creativity and gives me something new to add to various songs. What a great teacher! More please!

[@glennhorvath879]

Geez, this guys command of English is almost as impressive as his guitar virtuosity.

[@gibidelbarrio1937]

***** I think he was an English major - something I heard in an interview.....

[@petrosmalik]

+GiBi del Barrio at Oxford (the dark place, speaking from a Cambridge viewpoint :P )

[@butdontaskme5345]

Idk man that's probably the most beautiful playing I've ever seen and heard then again...

[@tonyrobertsguitar]

I've thought the same! ;)

[@hairball337]

Exactly I was thinking the same thing. He's a very good teacher. And a very good player

[@ozzeedaboss]

the way Guthrie explains things, man...that stoic calm and patience...priceless, I'd love to be his apprentice :D

[@L33tP1ckL]

Hey Guthrie, thank-you sincerely for your time performing these highly informative segments.

[@EkinDurdag]

I love this guy

[@invin7215]

"It gets a bit hairy there," *mass of curly hair hanging around the fretboard*

[@cantstopmike311]

"Basic technique"

[@richardfloyd4029]

basic does not mean simple or easy... Its a base of a certain technique and if the technique is difficult then the base will also be pretty difficult

[@maxxhaste]

2:37 I can't imagine the emergencies he must experience

[@Thompaam]

Amazing stuff. Love these Professor Shred videos

[@danspitalnik]

Such a beautiful set of notes.

[@Elodius2]

"And you are doing this \m/ the whole time which is always fun" You are my hero

[@TerryTresner]

I love this guys lessons,he does them so well and they're always killer licks.This one is beyond me though,very alien to me.I sound like a first yr player trying this one:-)

[@DethReaperMoleRat]

You are a god my good sir, excellence is not enough to compliment your immense talent

[@scottpotter7559]

Love his techniques, their awesome and inspiring.

[@eragon2121]

God's joke at our expense

[@BenDewhirstMusic]

+eragon2121 I think I died a little

[@trustno1481]

SO MUCH MASTER CLASS FOR FINISH DOING A THING THAT ISN´T ROCK. GOVAN DOESN´T DO ROCK. STOP CALLING ROCK WHAT IS NOT ROCK!!

[@ysteineriksen6405]

what is rock?

[@GreenwayOo]

1:05 Jenova? FFVII?

[@JohnGuitarSolo]

By far my favorite guitar world lessons

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

That arpeggio from sevens is kick ass. Guthrie Govan, saviour of the masses.

[@xXTiberiusXx]

i'd like to say that they're both great and that there is no better, i like them for their respective styles.

[@TalMK]

index finger as a damper + other fingers on fretboard + taping with different fingers ... now that's crazy discipline

[@callumrocker1]

I was given a lesson by Andy James once and he told me Guthrie was better than all other guitarists he has seen, and yes, I did say 'even Gilbert, even Vai'.

[@JohnGuitarSolo]

As always thanks for sharing the guitar world video John

[@liliIiliIilil]

Honestly the string dampener is the biggest part of making tapping parts work. There is a technique to making strings ring less but it helps so much.

[@ChainsawVsGod]

@museken What are you talking about? He has written an album. He's also appeared on other albums and toured with big name musicians. He's also known as one of the best guitarists of our time.

[@GetBackinBlack03]

Clicked Like before I watched. I've read the column and was waiting for this lick!

[@ezekieljarek7705]

No one comes even close to Guthrie when it comes to musical diversity! This maniac plays everything from Jazz, to Ballet 😁

[@HeavyMetalVagabond]

@mistermoshpit101 2.5 years is not a long time. youve barely scratched the surface of how good youre going to get, have patience and keep learning, listening and practicing

[@DrewHendersonGuitar]

kinda sounds like the beginning of Street Fighter 2.

[@Doyle251]

As soon saw this my day was made....

[@ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

@rollandrock99 It's the backing for Waves from his solo album 'Erotic Cakes', the same song that has the insane harmonised run that's also in the intro.

[@757mech1]

"It get a bit hairy there" "But let me show you how I can play it perfectly" lol This guy is amazing! One of my favorites!

[@manojkrishna8839]

Your videos are really good! Very useful! Thank you!

[@Grindgodgrind]

He's an absolute hero.

[@Loathello]

"... especially with this rubbish finger...3-1/2 fingers on each hand..." Dying over here

[@yragoner]

Great lesson from a teacher that shares... thanks

[@themindbusterator]

this guy is genius

[@geoboy333]

@leckal it's his track, waves (including the mind melting shred in the beginning) although this is the backing track version as the solo continues on top of that.

[@whiphid437Official]

God dammit .. literally the first 16 notes he played melted my face

[@StuntcatTV]

That guy is a genious that wants others to be able to thrive and improve on the knowledge he gathered and created. Talk about a rare individual

[@Rony7067]

He is just amazing,even more than that !!!

[@richardwilliams3497]

When there might be an emergency and you need your pick haha

[@guitar6934]

your very good on that guitar though wow

[@kostaVHjovanovic]

just glad to be here :)

[@headlesssoldier]

pretty good stuff. But if you go back the tapping stuff from the "Sheehan" solo from the "sink your teeth into that" by Talas, Billy sheehan does this idea. He holds the chord with the left, but simply taps all with the index finger. He can't get the staccato effect, but very close to the same idea.

[@syntheticskull]

This guy is amazing! Gonna go look up some of his music now :)

[@roathripper]

@marcussilvamgs Dr Govan is credited with discovering the Laws of Shred.

[@SantomPh]

@TheBeardedBundy oddly enough you can search on youtube and find a lesson by Guthrie about 'pirate scales' or something like that.

[@kevheeley83]

What a bloke!!

[@Jan_von_S]

1:20 he's playing a japanese scale called hirajoshi... very cool!

[@deadithink]

I like how he actually explains the music, otherwise I wouldn't know what the hell he's playing.

[@satriani03]

Sounds like the capcom sound in street fighter 2

[@papriikaNL]

I love Your work man! Keep playing!

[@pan00liz]

pure guitar geniusness

[@ipivot157]

@MrClaptonstrat same here, I love this guy!

[@MhStrat]

I'm way not good enough to play this shit, but it's just fun to see him talk and be awesome..

[@Guitarplayerbothell]

Really cool stuff

[@snozbarry]

Anyone know where that suspended part starts? ...sounded so nice.

[@11yearoldscene]

Your son is going to be one hell of a guitar player

[@joerectifier]

That lick is simply delicious and would fit so well in a spacey science fiction….let’s say Logan’s Run. I then label the “Logan’s Run”

[@XavSch]

@MorganRNReid he didn't... he just said that he doesnt play metal OR shred... so i think he implied that guthrie is a shredder (which he is) :D

[@rudicci]

@FusionRoots1 The Middle section of "Waves" from his "Erotic Cake" Album :)

[@rasmusandre]

That... is.... so.... clean!

[@fencore]

@Maxmaxz Waves, from the Erotic Cakes album

[@OneNoiseMusic]

hes always trippy to look at

[@AcousticBeaver]

he's amazing

[@mrbulletsforme]

i dont understand how can someone dislike this video... seriously wtfff?

[@danjohnson7270]

***** he also does lectures at the ACM which is another music college, which I'm going to later this year. Hopefully he'll be back soon haha

[@srx1977]

This sequence sounds reminds me of the smashing pumpkins 'Cupid De Locke' off of melancholy and the infinite sadness.

[@granthuston7585]

Can someone tell me how the hell he taps those with his right hand pinky? seriously what the hell...

[@mynamehereforsure]

Practice

[@AentikDranikan]

+Grant Huston watch Michael romeo Sea of lies Demo and the other ones as well you will feel even more depressed about tapping if u though you were good XD , but all in all yeah Practice and with metronome still practice and experiment try it for a month and u lll get at least some advance.

[@granthuston7585]

Lol thanks.. I've turned to a different kind of tapping.. Watch my videos on my other channel! If you just type in my name they show up, its a different channel

[@SirRiffalot123]

lol at 4:50 "That's mine, you need to come up with yours!" What a legend!

[@metalvocalistwanted]

great lick! :D

[@golfdom1987]

Amazing!

[@Mrguitars1000]

@museken ummmm are you talking about Guthrie? He does unleash... on his Erotic Cakes album which he wrote. I suggest you check it out it's mind-blowing.

[@EugenMick]

He's the best of th best in modern our time=)

[@MrCecilbag]

he is an alien im glad he jams holy shit

[@gejugfeguug5623]

:30 sounds like the little ditty at the beginning of street fighter when the capcom logo comes up!

[@leeder92]

He is such a lovely man 😊

[@Scias]

Brilliant comment, I know what you mean. His voice gives you a great feeling just like his music does

[@Taurex]

Sounds exactly like the Super Nintendo Capcom intro theme hahaha!

[@osobnipodaci]

Please come back to croatia as soon as possible.

[@vinceparilVIII]

Wow! your son is a very very lucky guy!

[@MisterQuidditch]

WHAT A FUCKING LEGEND, FUNNY AS HELL AND BETTER THAN MOST.. BY FAR!

[@fabi507714]

I LOVE YOU GUTHRIE!!!!!!! :-)

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

He would make a sick harp player.

[@JMaSsA11]

this should be weekly

[@Enkiguy]

Oh Guthrie, you are such a mad man! He's an alien, look at those eyes and goofy facial expressions! /:D
