Guthrie Govan - Suhr Demo 2011

[@furryz666]

“Mumbai in August” that sounds like a jazz standard

[@hugowasalreadytaken]

Ozone killing toxic gas of doom sounds like a metal song

[@Diax1324]

His fucking musical humor absolutely kills me every single time. Sweet child o mine made me die.

[@sigurd2498]

''Hi i'm Guthrie from the UK'' Understatement of the century

[@SixStringChannel]

Haha ikr. Would've gone better with "I am the danger" BB

[@Larriex97]

I think he was a little bit tired 😂

[@ilikezappa3268]

Well ,he is British , and " Hi . You know who I AM. THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE WOOOOOOORLD " ,would be a little vulgar .

[@aguspullol5297]

This guy can play everything, I don't know if it's more frustrating or inspiring !! haha Amazing as always

[@hegeliantriad3549]

So gifted yet so normal. A very rare combo for a genius.

[@mackhomie6]

yeah. well, sorta. sure

[@hcs5mgl]

I mean, he looks human

[@mattgarnettlondon]

that Sweet Child 'o Mine bit made me spit coffee all over the computer, lol

[@thorhbar1255]

No, it didn't.

His warped quotation of sweet child o mine is one of the single best things I've heard

[@mackhomie6]

loooololol

[@zeldax3kid]

I just love hearing him talk about and demonstrate things in such an intelligent way...he's brilliant. Just brilliant.

[@PRCMGP]

OMG, the way he played Sweet Child o'Mine's intro was... well... genius!

[@xprophet9]

"All of that nonsense..." you have to love this prodigy. His toss offs are better than the best of most of us arrogant/insecure wankers.

[@2skyland]

"it's not a pretty maple top, it's just regular maple......tree colored."

[@richardwaterman1625]

Amazing guitar AMAZING player. Such a genuine guy too, not even remotely cocky or showoffy.

[@joesatriani1200rulez]

He can just sound so good no matter what he's playing, i mean he's going through that orange amp and the tone is just incredible!

[@Genoc1deP7]

"Ozone killing toxic gas of doom" - Guthrie Govan

[@MrMaXRisK]

i realy like the way how he xplains him self, such a nice personality and what a nice guitare player (one of the best guitare players), respect from MOROCCO ;)

[@ChrisCorleyMusic]

Great player and the variety of sounds from that guitar is fantastic.

[@AgusGonzalez1998]

I love how Guthrie just seems to sound amazing with any amp, you can put him in front of a suhr, cornford, orange, whatever and he stills sounds great!

[@b-sideplank]

Not to counter your point but that Orange Rockverb is actually a quite decent and powerfully able amp.

[@AgusGonzalez1998]

Saqib Saqib I know but that's the point, gotta know how to dial in the guitar

[@b-sideplank]

Agus Gonzalez Yeah, thats true. He would sound outstanding playing through my 35 watt solid state orange practice amp too. I have to go practice now. :)

[@deadasfak]

Toxic gas of doom :DD I love how this guy talks!

[@andreslh90]

and I kinda like how he plays

[@Malc180s]

***** gay!!

[@monkcapo]

Malc180s Being Gay for Guthrie is quite natural

[@ManyThingsSeem]

Your noodling is better than most players achieve in a lifetime... your theory is spectacular and exciting... my favorite guitarist by far. Everyone who has discovered you is grateful for it.

[@Josephferrari7]

this guitar with this amp, it's a very good mix, sound amazing !!!

[@kreatos10]

Ok lets be real. How the hell is Guthrie even allowed to be this good! Its insulting for even the guitar gods of this world XD Always love to hear this guy play.

[@andybungert]

gaaaah that quick button for the lead bridge is awesome!

[@wavyatdarootz]

this man is such a versatile guitarist...

[@beefysinglecut]

He's omnigenre

[@elishaabarquez755]

8:16 why did i laugh so hard at this

[@AlfVidarSeen]

You just got to love this guy!!! It is pure joy comming out of his fingers and face when he talks and play! What a musician!

[@smoovegittar]

Dig this cat more and more. Never mind the chops; he's got a keen ear and great sense of humor. Thanks for posting.

[@cfmill74]

There's an incredible amount of technical exercises here to master. Probable old practice friends of Guthrie's.

[@dracorl3]

4:01 Sweet Child O' Mine intro

[@jornvallis8051]

I could watch/listen to Guthrie play/talk for hours. He's as charming as he is talented on the guitar. I hope to own one of his Charvel's one of the days.

[@chuckyinges]

Guthrie seems to excel in everything. He even talks intelligently in every interviews. It is like he is born to do all this...

[@scotty]

superb, not only the playing but the info and the entire demo.

[@11jupitercowboy8]

God damn. I just discovered this guy 2 nights ago and I'm falling in love. I can't get enough!

[@ericstever1574]

5:40 "all that nonsense" :-)

[@grandmaitredesmarionnettes1038]

all that nonsense every mortal guitarist dreams to be able to play x)

[@xeroblade012]

it's really amazing how he can explain things so much in detail. so much in detail that he can make a picture in your head out of every word he says. :S

[@torgnolesetgaudriole2957]

Could listen to him all day

[@ricksto87]

I love the depth of knowledge Guthrie has. He's a genuine wizard with words and can explain every nuence of detail so well.

[@dreddingdeath341]

Absolutely amazing guitarist. Awesome chords too.

[@EOS44]

I was capable of recognize almost 17 different styles and genres of music and playing... Awesome Guthrie....

[@LukesVintageRC]

Guthrie gots skills! Love Suhr guitars!

[@Irviemonster]

Such a humble guitarist, and respected musician, gilbert, cooley, and loomis are all great, but he's just something else.. Anyone who gives up normal things like never learning to swim or ride a bike just to dedicate it to guitar deserves the reward of the passion they put in.

[@wayfaerer320]

Ello it's me again....Guthrieee...

[@motorhead3759]

..another greatly underrated guitar genius....

[@Narada65]

One of the best guitar players on the planet IMHO. A true master of the instrument, he can play literally any style masterfully.

[@000MidnightSun]

this guy is a huge inspiration for guitar. not only is he an incredible guitarist but he seems so nice and personal!

[@zapzap36]

I could listen to Gutherie all day whitout getting bored. Fantastic stuff

[@slametal]

Wow!.. in this 8 min demo of the guitar.. all I got was things that I couldn't imagine one person play so effortlessly!

[@cohenj45]

String resonance is affected by the materials to which they are anchored, as is true with pickup performance. Case in point, I have a solid swamp ash tele and a mahogany thinline tele. Both have the same pickups (Dimarzio Area T Noiseless, for those who care) and the same circuitry, same setup, etc. They sound radically different. Put both through a spectral frequency analyzer and you can visualize the difference in wave patterns and EQ. Of course, once you crank of the gain and add effects, most modern player's tone will be far less distinguishable when swapping guitars. I'll add to this that these differentiations matter mostly to the player, but not at all to the audience.

[@CRANKYONE100]

Christ your good for the the TOP shelf vid's of the best player known to man!..Keep em comin Spicer!

[@Cantstandtherock]

Yea, Guthrie’s the real deal! As good as it gets and he’s an amazingly cool dude!

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

I work at the factory that "roast the maple" pretty much all tone woods have to be kiln dried. I personally do the wood for Fender, Ernie Ball, Washburn and others. So basically I have held that exact guitar.

[@Scias]

@GreenDistantStar It still plays a role though. What do you think about Jazz Guitars such as the 355 what difference do you think the F-holes make?

[@astahlemusic]

this is very effective advertising...i really want a suhr now

[@maximvolodkin6809]

this man pleases me greatly :)

[@TSchellhous]

It's from his solo album, the song "Slidey Boy"

[@eldrinpaulgok-ong3450]

I love how he's painfully honest towards the suhr :D

[@OutsaneInBrain]

Only just getting into Govan, sounds awesome!

[@stevegrierson]

Not only a brilliant guitarist but a sweet and funny guy.

[@NoobTuber1995]

I just love this guy! "There's a lot clarity *Shreds Incredibly fast* for all that nonsense." And I agree with him completely on both parts, clarity and mindless fast scale playing is nonsense.

[@Scias]

@GreenDistantStar Different woods have different hardness and reflect different tones. I mean literally reflect those tones, back onto the strings. You are obviously aware that the acoustics are not directly detected by pickups, but the type of wood will reflect different frequencies back onto the string and hence through the pickup. Those vibrations travel better through solids than through air so they get back to the string easily.

[@maxolydian9115]

Ozone Killing Toxic Gas of Doom Amazing band name

[@xHighPotencyx]

@giuseppemare Roasted maple is when they stick it in a vacuum oven for a couple days at a moderately high temperature and in a near-vacuum. It apparently alters the cell structure in the wood and reforms it to be more stable. Also gets a nice caramel color to it.

[@aleksandersucharski]

listening to new clips, with this guitar.. i think it sounds even better than previous signature model.

[@HedOnFire]

I saw someone else make this comment but I agree: watching Guthrie play for 5 minutes is like constantly changing channels on a tv, you'll get a variety of everything...except in Guthrie's case, it's always excellent.

[@JeanPaul-Godtier]

Funny, and interesting stuff ... I love his little "classical jazz solo" !

[@rlevitta]

Torrefied maple (what he calls roasted) is used in lots of woodworking applications where stability is a consideration. It's very interesting stuff. It's putting wood in an oven where it would burn if there was any oxygen - but there isn't - so it doesn't.

[@mrbullseye]

Guthrie is the most talented guitarist on this earth. There is not a style he doesn't master. He is also very pleasant, if a bit unassuming and modest, to be around. I hope I get to hang around with him many more times.

[@ohvnaq]

2:57 his hair doing natural harmonics

[@AndrewMorgan]

whats most impressive is how he knows what to play based on complimenting all the different distortions, but he's obviously a music genius

[@UR2Compliant]

God, I love this guy...

What a massive ammount of knowledge.

[@petergedd9330]

I like Guthrie he reminds me of my 60/70's art college days with erudite types floating about being very arty and cool

[@ArtOfRuin75]

What's the advantages of having a bolt on neck compared to a straight through? i've noticed bolt ons tend to be cheaper...

From the description, it is "The Suhr Guthrie Govan Antique Modern."

[@geoffduncanmusic]

haha "all that nonsense' he just throws out a lick that I couldn't play if I tried for 100 years haha. Guthrie is the mellowest, coolest guitarist, such a cool vibe.

[@willeng84]

@giuseppemare No they actually roast the wood in an oven, probably something like a pizza style oven or possibly something a little bigger. It pulls just that last bit of moisture out of the wood basically just making it harder, It is just a maple neck that they treated to make it tougher.

[@LLLGuitar]

@Geborren That isn't actually a chord. It's just a note with an octave :)

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Basswood + maple top = Holy Grail in tone. According to Suhr website. I agree. Now what neck wood would work with tight agressive pickups?

[@anyday82]

amazing guitar player wow
