Guthrie Govan - Rhode Island Shred

[@user-gh3dh4ee4g]

this guy is the best, nobody is as versatile as him, no matter what he plays it's never boring

[@frenchyman77]

In a different style,try Marcin Patrzalek (Poland)

[@glenndavid8725]

He isn't as versatile as my guitar teacher!

[@kkona3429]

wow guthrie is the bassist two, i gues this is just proof of how fast he is

[@arieldiaz3105]

IT_Garfield he's Seth Govan, Guthries brother

[@pedroandersontenkobmx1812]

Hahahahahahaha É o irmão dele ^^

[@pedroandersontenkobmx1812]

Mas foi uma boa piada.

[@6stringstorulethemall967]

Lmao

[@Jackiejackjac]

It's his brother I guess. Or maybe he's just a video effect!

[@A10011]

What an absolute master. So great.

[@gregmaland5318]

Just when I forgot that I suck at guitar, this comes along.

[@dougnulton]

Greg Maland Ironically enough, I first saw this video in a compilation video called "Guitars Suck" during KZbin's infancy lol

[@Staypuft1981]

You either lack discipline or are just not good. You obviously have low self esteem. Practice yourself better.

[@fourthlayer]

I've checked all my guitars and none of them have that many notes! He's playing a trick guitar!!! Yes, that's it!

[@halcyontools]

are you still alive

[@snizzake1863]

🤣🤣🤣

[@snizzake1863]

@James Black Think the comment was in context to being in absolute Europhria and hes now died from its shear power and has returned to Elysium🤙🏾

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Well technically he's using a trick pedal, an octave pedal.

[@BatteryRock]

Chicken pickin' technique....Rhode Island Red is a type of chicken.....always have loved Govan's sense of humor.

[@cristinaleguizamon7712]

Nice observation! now that you mention it., the fretless guitar wonderfully played by Bumblefoot´s in the cd version, kinda sounds like a chicken as well, (in my ear´s opinion).

[@Wysewolf]

@Unfiltered Reality This song is finger-pluckin good, and Col. approved! :)

[@truescotsman4103]

add sh here ya go!!

[@DeanOMiite]

I'm from Rhode Island and was like wait wtf why is someone naming his song after my state? Now I get it lol

[@trjb1767]

Good catch on RI red. that went right past me!

[@Heisenberg8307]

1:07, this will now be stuck in my head for a while....thanks Master Guthrie

[@ParkerPPipe]

Best guitarist alive. Hands down. Probably best ever

[@punishr36]

Ya him electric and Tommy Emmanuel on acoustic could take over the planet.

[@danvincent2600]

Max ostro now aged 18. Check him out. Blindingly good!

[@leeder92]

Totally agree 👍

[@cdeangelo1]

Not even close!! Check out Matteo Mancuso!! He is truly the best

[@charliebarber7682]

I can't tell you how much I LOVE 1:58... the way he slows down and plays intentionally sloppily on the tapping part and then the hilariously horrific chords... just genius, makes me laugh every time And that's not even mentioning the bend at 1:46

[@jns77ytb]

thats the bit that stuck out for me too :D

[@unusualbydefault]

same, had a big smile already but lost it at that point

[@truescotsman4103]

what about the muted stacatto runs? never seen anyone that articulates them like that. crazy!!

[@holobolo1661]

It's a ring modulator pedal I believe

[@janneboman8573]

I think this is what Guthrie refers to as "playing irresposibly"

[@MeatyWhack]

1:45 - 1:47 are the greatest notes ever played

[@jeffersonbanse5168]

1:45 is sounds like horse

[@Winstonrodney6989]

Whammy pedal I’m guessing.

[@lewisbirkett4428]

Those chords at the beginning and end are so beautiful I've got to transcribe them

[@sayanorasonic]

What chords are they?

[@isiahbuda9479]

Clarence Alfonso Only Lewis Birkett can know...

[@420protoman]

ahhh so many notes. how the heck does he not fuck this up

[@anettehaxholm4829]

When you get this good you ear is so well developed that your ear guides you

[@420protoman]

Anette Haxholm it's more than just his ears doing that... his brain, and skill, hand eye coordination. but yea it's all in his ears.. he must be an elf hybrid

[@TomWGuitar]

Well I have a feeling that he actually messed up on the first go through of the main melody, so he ended up having to improvise the rest of it. He's so good that his fuck ups are barely noticeable!

[@joecool415]

He practiced

[@mycustomyoutubechannel2539]

it's mostly memorizing scales and improvising off of those in the vein as he originally composed the song

[@roba1899]

At :50 when he starts palm muting, he's playing so clean and so fast, it sounds like he's only playing every other note against a delay pedal !

[@roba1899]

On a side note (pun), at 2:29 when he stares at the ceiling for a few seconds while STILL hammering away the fretboard, I lose it .. Holy 'Alien-like' Competence, Batman!

[@divymodi7207]

yeah lol

[@0megalul309]

he can do edge covers without delay.

[@woobi4739]

Its amazing to see him struggling at some points. He is indeed human.

[@panathasfilologos3597]

21th centurys most completed guitar player

[@brenlouissurio2404]

Then you have fools saying John Mayer is the father of every guitarist under 30yo lol

[@umpygoodness2369]

I'd have to say Bumblefoot beats Guthrie in literally every category.

[@Daantjer]

I do get why people name John. It's not skill but influence. John Mayer is in a unique position to be the most famous of em all because he's a famous pop/singersongwriter, but one who is still known to be a guitar player more than anything else (and doesn't just stick to playing pop music). Now if you look at the past 20 years and you'd have to say who the most influencial guitarist is, John is miles ahead on anyone else. When it comes to influence, John is the Hendrix of our time. Skill wise I'd have to say Guthrie is the best to ever do it in an all-around package.

[@Gerymorearmy]

Its so beautiful . Full technical. Note blues .and shredder . That's amazing

[@bradhienzachary]

One of those rare solos that can make you laugh.

[@holidaytrout5174]

I laughed literally while reading this

[@rustyfuzz470]

He nearly dropped the ball at 0:40 but improvised through it like nothing happened. Mad

[@owar47]

Thats why the best improvisers are called 'Cats' .. they always fall back on their feet !!!

[@Wysewolf]

Nice ear. I didn't notice that on the first couple passes. You can hear a tiny misstep, and then a damn awesome recovery. Well spotted.

[@donaldunal7039]

Awesome every time..🤩🤩🤩😍

[@lyteschhangte8498]

0:51 almost sound like it has a delay effect

[@BoomerBends]

I know. Shows how crazy accurate his timing is on those muted notes.

[@tamasc8703]

it's not? OMG

[@michael18276]

I think the album version really had a delay

[@runeer]

This is better than the studio version and other live versions too, perhaps the best.

[@RealSoundNow]

That was just fun .. 100% fun!!

[@ColocasiaCorm]

this is the kind of music i listen to on repeat

[@ScarredRomeo]

The applause by those who witnessed this live in response to what he just phenomenally played was so severely lacking.

[@northernbrother1258]

Best guitar player in the world...maybe ever? C'mon!

[@bienvenidovelasco6834]

Other than incredible skills hes got humor all over

[@stevenjohnston2263]

Christ. He's a bloody magician.

[@willsketchesmusic]

He's fluent in so many styles

[@NimrodRT]

The amount of shred

[@jacoscofield5150]

Holy Shit !

[@davidsailo4802]

There will be no more technical difficulties than this style of picking❤️❤️Gg

[@infinitesimotel]

I'd love a proper decent Deliverance movie remake where GG encounters the banjo prodigy and blows HIM up the creek in a duel. That would rock.

[@ariehandoko6806]

This song remind me Steve Morse's Pride of the Farm 👍👍, Guthrie, what a genius ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@unabrazoatodoslosbuenos]

That is absolutely bloody ridiculous. What a beast.

[@ViniciusFigueiredo19]

Guthrie is absolutely impossible man, such a monster

[@masurius123123]

The Bass Player is Seth Govan - Guthrie's brother! It must be a pleasure to play along with ur bro'! :)

[@thrutheveil74]

Speechless.

[@vonmilash823]

i was always a mediocre rhythm player. Then I decided to grow my hair and beard exactly like Guthrie and the shredding just totally fell into place within a few months.

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

This man are an alien.

[@duckydrummer6331]

At 1:07 sounds like he learned those descending notes from Eddie Van Halen. Ed would play that little descending run alot in his solos.

[@MetalliBunny]

this is in my top 3 songs on Guthrie's 2006 solo album. such a fun track >=:) looney tunes!

[@Flornmonk]

His tone was so good when he had his Suhr and Cornford.

[@nomnom112]

I'm drooling over that suhr

[@Steve-nq8jc]

Practice mate. I'm complete dog shit on the guitar but to just give up without trying seems silly. I'll play on regardless. It's like comparing myself to Usain Bolt. Fuck it chop my legs off I'll never run as fast! If it makes you happy then indulge. find your own voice and play the shit out of that guitar. Remember that you are you. No-one will sound like you. Just play the stuff you can and progress from there.

[@WizardsMagic007]

True. I sold a bunch of guitars, but every now and then I find one at the pawnshop and decide to give it another try. lol

[@roba1899]

find your own voice and play the shit out of that guitar. Love that philosophy .. keep fighting the good fight because it's fun. It shouldn't be like "a Dragon you gotta slay" ..
