[@nextgenfootball69420]

People keep saying that he's the best technical player, but seriously tho, I legit think he's the most melodic player ever, there's literally no one else who has such great melody and variation while playing

[@dxmcomitan8495]

Maybe Rick Graham or Tom Quayle are the only ones that are close to him melodically and technically. But you can notice that Guthrie is way ahead of every guitar player nowaydas.

[@laminebaazi4376]

[@reecespence1758]

Its driving me crazy how much this riff resonates with me, it's the best thing I've ever heard, it's so nostalgic it reminds me of a good time when I was little with my parents and sister on the beach when times were better, I pray to touch someones life like this when I finally make a song

[@laminebaazi4376]

you love it

[@NoCokeOnlyIce]

I’m jealous. Just when you think you learned a good version he improvs one that’s 10x better.

[@omeraktash]

I hate it. the only true guitarist to his songs in my opinion is John Petrucci, he delivers live what you hear on the records and then he improvises, that's what I like. Govan is more like "let's rewrite the song" :D

[@EDOCALOFI]

Meeting him once holds the top stack of my bucket list!

It takes incredible skill for an artist like Guthrie to make this live performance seem like a youtube recording. Most live performers are stuck in 3d, but guthrie can make himself flat like a screen so the audience feel they're not really there but watching it at home on a screen. Incredible. Even the logo looks overlayed on top.
