Guthrie Govan String Bending Masterclass - Part One

My favorite is Joe Satriani because he got that rare mix of extremely high technical ability to play the guitar and he's been and still is fantastic at writing melodies and songs.

[@junodonome700]

I have been following Guthrie since the early 2000's and have watched him grow as a teacher and guitarist; even then I knew that Guthrie was the best in the world, even though many guitarists would disagree. Guthrie can not only play and sound like himself, but he has the unique ability to sound like anyone, Satch, Vai, Yngwie, Steve Lukather, Pat Martino, Derek Trucks, Robben Ford...you name it. A very rare and beautiful gift. The man can read, transcribe the hardest music on the planet, and put it into laymen's terms so that the rest of us can grow as guitarists. He is well spoken, articulate, humble, and always willing to teach and share what he knows with the world. He is the all around best player on the planet and if I had a vote he would get it. Thank you Guthrie for all of your work, and for your sincerity. Adam

to me this is much more interesting than those "20 complex-hybrid picking-fusion-shred-legato licks" lesson videos I've found on many popular youtube shredder channels these days. Guthrie is one of the few modern super-technical guitar virtuosos who are still carrying the blues flag (along with Alex Hutchings, Richie Kotzen) equally proudly

[@vincenttuckwood]

Stan Smith Paul Gilbert is flying that flag too - more so as the years go by - check some of his more recent video lessons.

[@TheLordofCarrot]

+Vincent Tuckwood Agreed - but when i say modern, i mean guys who were born post 70's or 80's like Guthrie and Alex, but Paul seriously could throw down on some tasty blues too

[@vincenttuckwood]

+Stan Smith Yup. To be honest I lost interest in notes-per-second, how-many-scales-can-I-rip players a long time ago (I was never that into it anyway) so I couldn't really comment on more recent players. I do think there's a cutover from technique to taste that happens for most players - one of the things I like so much about Guthrie is his taste (it's in note-choice, phrasing, and as much about what he leaves out) - I never tire of Erotic Cakes, even though its some of the most virtuoso playing recorded.

Min 3rd, 7, 4. all good to do that 1/4 step bend and sometimes blues players DO release it back (mostly on min 3rd or if they are doing a full bend). Guthrie has fingertips of concrete. He could prob bend the little E off the top of the fretboard.

To start with the internet is a very bad place to develop your playing. It creates sterile, soulless clones.
