Guthrie Govan String Bending Masterclass - Part Three

[@ForViewingOnly]

Guthrie's string bending masterclass has seen a huge increase in the sale of individual G and B strings!

[@Thennecan]

Hahahahahaha!!!

[@TotalCha0s1]

RIP b string =/

[@vn_1]

Wow🙊

[@RobGutmann]

hahaaaaaaa

[@an_38kitkashyap]

How about the first e string.

[@rossbulcock552]

"Surely this madness has to end soon" my all-time favorite Guthrie Govan quote.

[@realitities2]

Guthrie -** _plays impossibly complex, beautiful, perplexing, sonic-acid-trip of a chromatic scale guitar lick_ Guthrie - "You know, just have some fun" Me -** _hits guitar with stapler_

[@an_38kitkashyap]

Don't torture her. Give her to me.

[@sweatyboab]

Thanks Guthrie, it feels like your best mate giving you advice, then you suddenly realise your best mate is soooo much better than you are. But he doesn't want to rub it in, Guthrie honestly looks like he just wants us to enjoy the guitar as much as he does. That rarest of people, an accessible legend! Inspirational!

[@markyboo]

"It's uncomfortable and demeaning . . . " I love Guthrie's sense of humor.

[@seanmarkowitz4216]

"Back to a more dignified posture" lol

[@elvisjsax]

"Sorry, that happens sometimes" YEAAAAH, IT DOES

[@kunai1362]

Guthrie is the most relatable guitar god

[@headunits]

Guthrie and Paul Gilbert are probably the most entertaining guitar instructors ever.

[@cabbage9398]

+headunits - absolutely agree! Both great communicators.

[@aimfuldrifter]

And probably the best too.

[@dimetriusrasul]

headunits agree

[@johnc7801]

Agreed

[@mustafarmonnasmonnas4716]

AJS2001 agree......

[@Alexander-iq5yq]

1:53 Ive never noticed that before...That sounds really cool.

[@ARTIFICIALFAITHOFFICAL]

He is like a standup comedian for guitarists. Knows his music theory inside and out.

[@davomontgomeryda3rd]

Mr Govan's got some seriously strong hands... man that dude can play! and the guy can really communicate guitar wisdom well, and not all great players are that great when it comes to instructing others.

[@anandutsavkapoor]

Took a break from studying the beats in physics and came here, dude spoke about the unison bends and the beat phenomenon

[@chadschoening4352]

Mr Govan is not just the undisputed king of guitar at the moment, he is also WILDLY intelligent. I didn't understand this until after watching a few videos. How he speaks, and his choice of words are as well thought out beforehand as the notes he plays. He is ALWAYS thinking ahead, and I think that is key. I truly and fully appreciate how much thought he puts into how he teaches something, even if it isn't obvious at first. The words he uses are as perfect as the notes he plays for that very reason. Thank you Sir Guthrie. I have never understood something as clearly as when you took the time to lay it out for us with the proper words and sentences.

[@chraffis]

Coolest (best) guitar teacher/instructor/Sensei I’ve seen (heard) yet. Exhibits perfectly proportioned and (endearingly)diametrically opposed personality traits: frazzled, wild-eyed geek + cool, comfortable confidence. Top level guitar skills/knowledge + simple, clear, not-too- long winded or too quick lesson. Earnest and enthusiastic + deliberate. Ugly + Sexy.

[@Ralphyssh666]

7:03 that attention to detail - mentioning challenges of live performance vs theory - he is truly a master @ craft AND teaching

[@vidiac2012]

1:45 Damn! I never noticed that third note that you're not actually playing and is going down in pitch...

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

I heard that ghostly 3rd note and I will never unhear it now lol. I've never noticed it until now. Guthrie is a genius.

[@tox1cfuse347]

“The fret, beyond which you do not go” That’s got a nice ring to it

[@beckoningoblivion739]

Some people just have a natural knack to teach others so fluidly and effectively. I wish my calculus teacher in High School was half as articulate and cohesive as Guthrie. Would have saved me a lot of hours.

[@mattkirkhamm]

From all the guitar lessons I have seen Guthrie has to be no.1. He gives you advice, shows you how to do it, how to think about it. Makes you feel okay that maybe you can’t do it that well. Then shreds and makes you feel like wow that’s possible? Let’s try this out.

[@chuckyinges]

3:35 That's the biggest motivation I got all week.

[@areyouavinalaff]

1:37 I love playing with that dissonance where there's a cancellation of frequencies. there's like pops in between the ringing of the notes on the two strings which I call the helicopter effect. listen to someone speaking into a mic while in a helicopter with the door open, the changing air pressure gives a certain vibrato, a pulse, to the voice. you can do the same by speaking into a fan. and the fun thing is you can change the speed and duration of the pops with very subtle changes in bend force.

[@orbik_fin]

You may or may not find it useful to know that the phenomenon you're referring to is known as *intermodulation* Basically when the sum of 2 frequencies f1 and f2 is distorted by a stateless nonlinearity, the result contains not only multiples of f1 and f2, but also multiples of (f1+f2) and (f1-f2). The dropping low undertone at 1:53 is (f1-f2) as it approaches 0.

[@TommyAyalachannel]

that ghost note, this guy chnaged my life once more

[@PCLoadLetter84]

Seriously! I've never heard that until now, in spite of doing that exact unison bend a thousand times in my playing.

[@Hack3r91]

5:30 I was thinking about the very same melody there! That's amazing when stuff like this happens

[@PolarBimbi]

a vibrato masterclass please.

[@RK-pw2hu]

Not from Guthrie and not from Gilbert. Both vibratos aren´t good.

[@tenkotv3470]

[@SuperXtoon]

[@raulrgh]

@@RK-pw2hu I think they are quite good, they work, but they do seem awkward.

[@freeelectron8261]

Wow - what a great teacher. Well paced, precise and detailed. Obviously a very intelligent man.

[@mattfleming2287]

Great, great video~ I love your teaching style. One thing you don't mention is if the bending is near impossible, to get a lower string gauge. I played 10's for over 30 years (metal!!11!) and saw a video about who used 8's and it was an epiphany. I put 8's on the top strings and low and behold all my bends are practically painless! It's like if you run with weights on your ankles and take them off. Just something that I think a lot of guitarists don't even think about. Thanks again, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar. And a badass.

[@bmurphy616]

Guthrie is the man and theses videos are beyond awesome. Love these!

[@reijerlincoln]

Teach me, Master. Minute 05:30 LOL!

[@MikeLeed]

Learning from Guthrie is pure joy,. The chromatic bending at the end blew my mind.

[@donald-parker]

I could listen to him all day. So articulate, clear, unassuming, humble and helpful with a wonderfully dry sense of humour. Pretty good guitar player too :)

[@mehlliont]

11:31 holy shit that's insane

Whoa hells yah it is

[@1dabirdman68]

Huge Huge fan of Guthrie,the guys a real modern day minstrel thats just as at home in this modern time as he would be wandering around the ren fairs of the middle ages shredding on his Lute....And that british gentlemans tenor in his speaking voice is practically screaming to do some voiceover work..

[@danielespatara2614]

You're my favourite guitarist ever👍 I love your style man

[@user-yo3dt5uf8c]

Cheers, Guthrie! Ira here-we met backstage (in Orch) after Hans Zimmer concert in LA at The Shrine! I am simply aghast & drooling at your Stellar playing!!! I had never heard of you prior. Hans was playing guitar & Johnny Marr's son, so...then you played, and not since hearing Allan Holdsworth in NY in the 70s with Soft Machine have I literally drooled (unfortunately in NY, I was in Balcony...so shouts from below!). Your playing is NOT just shredding/chops! It is Highly Imaginative and Emotional and Unpredictable! You are also kind & FUNNY! Your voice/demeanor reminds me of Ian Anderson. So, with Gilmour (met them all & hung out with during Atom Heart Mother tour in NY-interview on tape very funny), your bend in Brick goes up 2 whole tones. Having played it and seen live many times, I believe "the bend" goes up 5 semi-tones. So, not say E to G#, but E to A! Stopping along the way from E to F#, F# to G#, and finally G# to A! Then D to root. By the way...I heard from reliable sources that...he did not Play the solo on the record! I am a Recording Engineer/Composer/Guitarist (1 millionth as great as You!) and worked for Chick Corea at Mad Hatter Studio for years. I ran into the awesome Lee Ritenour there and asked him if it Indeed was him!!! He smiled widely and said: "Yes!" Lee is kind like you, Guthrie! Dave....not so much.

[@michael1]

Ian Anderson kind & funny? That'll be news to his bandmates...

[@japanesemaplepruning]

Not only as he a master guitarist, gifted teacher, he’s also hilarious

[@XgamersXdimensions]

He bent up a Tritone for that chromatic example- hitting every note on the way up and also on the way down. Holy shit that’s insane

it was only a fourth. "only"....

[@ricks7665]

Oh Guthrie, with your fancy vocabulary and old world accent it makes the lesson infinitely more interesting ,well done I learned alot

[@domb0]

Such an awesome lesson. Think David Gilmour actually stops at three pitches during that bend in ABITW solo( a final 1/2 to end) I know coz I’ve been failing to do it smoothly for about six months.

Meu amigo! Esse cara é incrível , surreal 🔥🎸

[@martinh1277]

You have a ghostly third note. If you don't want it, make the deep frequencies away, it disturbs. You can also make the high frequencies away, the deep note will stay. Suddenly there is a guy with a guitar and tones beyond a bass. I tried it, it works, with special equipment. I imitated a string bass in Folk.

[@bestboy897]

absolutely fantastic lesson

+Guitarist I don't think you will get in trouble just for playing a single phrase.... you are not playing the whole song nor getting profit out of it or are you?

+nomis onidnas Sadly, yes. That happen's a lot in my channel. Even a little phrase can put you in a "copyright trouble".

[@mrt445]

+Bruno Mello I find that hard to believe considering the countless number of cover songs on youtube.

[@clabemetal]

+mr t Well, it can stay there as long you don't active the monetization. But, if you activate it two things can hapen: 1. KZbin can block your video 2. They will give the monetization rights to the autor of the song There's a hole of copyright rules you have to follow. If you still don't believe it. Upload a video and see for yourself.
