[@axeofcreation]

Anytime I start to feel good about my playing, I listen to Guthrie. Puts me right back in my place.

[@chilenazote]

axeofcreation dont be a loser my friend

[@michael_caz_nyc]

No don't feel that way. I used to feel the same when I saw: E.V.H., Al Dimeola, Guthrie G, Allan Holdsworth or Tommy Emmanuel. Now, I just go at my pace. I'm working on my Fingerpicking during lockdown and expanding chord inversions. Music is not a Competition. Think about the guitar-mastery of David Gilmour. They all motivate me.

[@breakingbrad2129]

I met Guthrie once. I told him I can't play as good as you, but I am proud of myself, because you couldn't play as bad as me if you tried. He laughed at it, so there's that. But you do what you do and enjoy guitar, that's what it's there for. Rock on my man :)

[@PartialS]

That might be a good thing in order to get better. When Guthrie could play perfect 32nd notes, knew every note on the fretboard backwards and upside down he (probably) kicked himself up the arse to do perfect 64ths and learn all the notes inbetween the fretted ones. He never patted himself on the back for learning a D chord. I'd imagine that he never played in order to be impressive to anyone but yesterday's version of himself.

[@sergiodifranco4380]

In a way, that's a good thing. But you got to put things in perspective. Guthrie does this for a living; and i don´t know you, but i play guitar in between lots of thing that sum up my life nowadays; so i don´t (can´t) give the instrument the amount of time needed for that quality or at least a step up. Use him as an inspiration and enjoy the instrument and the music.

[@samdepaepe6534]

My life as a guitarplayer: 10% of the time practice 90% watching Guthrie Govan play the guitar...

[@gabimeredith1]

I can relate to this too much

[@bienvenidovelasco6834]

You have the wrong mindset, just play & don't aspire to be like him, it will only frustrate you

What an absolute genius improviser. There seems to be zero latency between his creative mind and his hands. He's one of a kind!

[@kevinrixmusic]

I've been playing guitar for 35 years. I'm currently at .005 percent of his ability. If I can bump that up to .05 by the end of my life I'll be happy:)

[@NateSassoonMusic]

He is the BEST guitarist on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I love every aspect of his playing, you are a true virtuoso in every sense of the word, hands down my favorite guitarist of 52 years of life !!!

[@vette6600]

Damn! My favorite improviser to listen to. Sounds like he’s always on the edge yet never loses the arc of his lines. Amazing creativity and control

[@FSMusic86]

Nice description, exactly how I feel!

[@unusualbydefault]

Indeed, perfect description! Usually, I dont like impros too much....the artists tend to get lost. Not Gurthrie, he always turns it around :)

[@jimbobshambles]

That’s a badass guitar for a badass player! Mind blowing stuff!🤘

[@milankotevski1663]

Virtuoso par excellence.

[@mesabman]

One time I was watching G3 with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and of course Govan. After Satriani and Vai soloed for a while, Govan started playing with his super-human abilities, and then Joe & Steve's faces were struck with awe and they stared at each other as they watched Govan solo! They were both amazed and even humbled by how extraordinary this guy can play. While he's not my favorite player, he's arguably the best player of all, including John Petrucci, Vinnie Moore, Michael Angelo Batio, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Paul Gilbert.

[@stu73ke]

True, but I would put Jason Becker above him.

[@chris33513]

That‘s the way i like Guthrie the best. Those JTC tracks with killer licks covring everything from Blues, Fusion, Shred, etc. I prefer that over the Aristocrats releases.

[@valeriocesarini5661]

I've spent weeks of my quarantine studying "the top" musicians out there, from Gambale to Jason Richardson, to then again remember there's Guthrie. There's no point in studying. He's so ridiculously, uncomprehensibly better than anyone.

[@frannyp46]

The mans out there on his own.Self taught but sought after by music colleges and the like. I saw an interview about influences and he mentions cartoons and ice cream vans emulating them by ear as a youngster.

[@valeriocesarini5661]

@@frannyp46 Only thing I have in common with Guthrie (passion for beer aside) is that we're both self taught. Hope one day to get close to his level!

Richardson is no joke 😶😶

[@maxjudge020]

i think jason becker is at the same level.

[@Gregorypeckory]

Guthrie is awesome, but I know he recognizes that Allan Holdsworth was beyond him, and I believe he also agrees with me that Shawn Lane was as well. But that doesn't mean he isn't one of the greatest; he's inhumanly great!

Guthrie..or......Sir Govan...dude, this was the absolutely best thing I have seen on the internet like....forever. If I did more than strum an acoustic Martin twice a week, I would aspire to be you. Now, here's the lesson: please put out any and more videos that give players and fans more good feeling because your SOUL is GUITAR. And the thing I was thinking throughout this videos and your past ones is: How would my guitar heroes from long ago deal with your style? No mentioning names, but they would be certainly be lagging behind indefinitely. Awesome sauce! Cheers Guthrie!
