Guthrie Govan - Wonderful_Slippery_Thing (LGI Show 08)

[@Emmanuelle_Neo]

for me , this is the best live performance of this song

[@RahulBasu6886]

exactly

[@RenanBeltrao]

+Emmanuelle de jesus I really like the Jamcentral one too.

[@KX5Kat]

Tied between this one and the one in Seoul.

[@AraGuitar]

Best guitarist on this planet... technique and emotion perfectly intertwined. No one is better, I'm convinced.

[@PeanutButterGamer]

I like this sound.

[@TheSpoonman00]

Just wanted to say, I also watched this video 10 years ago and if I had known you were a Guthrie Govan fan, I would have subscribed to your channel faster. Stay awesome, Peebs 😎

[@Owtyg23]

Wow and 11 years later he's a massive KZbinr. Crazy to see

[@rickariche]

3:27 I love how he hints the drummer to play louder, both with his guitar and his face! :D

[@FredonMaylor]

always different and never desappointing

[@LeckWare93]

It's a Guthrie Govan video, almost everyone is a musician here :)

[@Ledones]

The most technical guitarrist I ever seen... Easy to say..

[@Chelsey9]

Absolutely love his style and that jazz groove he's got going there. I like how he incorporates so many different elements and it just flows so smoothly . . . mad skills

[@robjackson2731]

13 years strong and still remains my most played youtube video. This set was amazing.

[@AntiThe1stGuy]

I would love to see him live, it looks like such great fun to be part of that audience, I hope he comes to Ireland soon.

[@LeckWare93]

Who would win? It's music, not some sort of game or sport.

[@GuitaristOnWheels]

I have had the pleasure to meet this guy!! I did a guitar course in Cornwall and he came down to do a master class! He playing this song and "Waves" to us, I now have a signed copy of "Erotic Cakes", amazingly nice bloke and not bad for a self taught guitarist! (hint the UNDERSTATEMENT!) amazing bloke! Taught me loads!

[@Sperzel]

I can't fucking believe that he nailed the tapping lick at 01:55. Had I attempted that live it would've sounded like a dog taking a dump. Guthrie, you truly are God.

[@Harlot2004]

I love this guy, he cud just shred the fuck and own everyone but he still goes slow at time with feeling, accentuating his faster runs even more...wow

[@sernathal]

guhtrie and ron thal are the most complete rock guitarrists that i ever know! they kick ass like nobody, they are guitar genius!

[@afroshredder]

same when i saw him recently i could not do anything but stare at the awesomeness!

[@Fushpud]

Man, I really dig seeing these live versions of the tunes. I'm paying attention to the lead lines so often when I'm listening to the studio versions that I forget how funky the rhythm guitar is. Oh, and the drums and bass.

[@adamcraneguilford6236]

Guth is just so cool and versatile one of the best fusion guitarists I have ever heard

[@The1westone1]

My son just turned me on to this guy! That is some seriously sick guitar playing! He may have already made it to my top 20!

[@Sxrule]

Guthries hands just make him look like he was actually put on this earth to play guitar, they just seem so be the perfect hands for playing the guitar,

[@vajranurse]

I love the way he uses his body as an extension of his own guitar!!

[@eddthrasher]

I love this track and his playing on this performance. Soo expressive...

[@kenminerva]

I love them both! PG is the reason why I still keep playing guitar because he is so inspiring! GG is my new hero!! so both win!!

[@rockledge11]

i agree with you mate, hes class, i was there and he palyed in like 3 different shows, immense drummer!

[@guitaralbert0]

i think this guy's got an edge on vai, man... he's really unique, and can even play vai to a tee. he's insane. and he should definitely be considered for G3!!!!!

[@fretbored1974]

i'm totally humbled by this guy. AWESOME blokes! Cheers!

[@AlexiLaiho6]

the live version is great it but i wish i could hear somewhere guthrie playing this song exactly like the album version.... this song has an AMAZING album version

[@Moviegod37]

his versatility astonishes me.

[@OZRIC1985]

Guthrie is great! His playing reminds me of Greg Howe, who is another amazing player. :)

[@yngvaibucketrucci]

...the reason I find it dull is that I prefer something that you'd get up and rock to rather than sit back and appreciate. just personal preference really. and i'd get up and rock to guthrie govan any day! hes the man

[@alibatal7284]

How would anyone give thumbs down for this guy?!!!!!

[@KRGE41.3]

Guthrie Goven and Ron Jarzombek were the 2 people that has connection in their techniques and styles.. and the common attribute of their playing is also one of the greatest.. Vai..

[@simms75]

I used to have lessons with Guthrie when we worked at McDonalds in Chelmsford together.. He is amazing - I still suck - not his fault though, he tried to help me!

[@Katzuma_]

If they're both jamming together on stage then it's no question who wins...the audience.

[@MultiRiffer]

more i see him,more i think hes the best or in the very very top level with only 3 or 4 others.... And its a pleasure to see how he enjoy what hes doing......

[@FairyLeviathanS]

Amazing, amazing. So much feeling. I like this so much.

[@allworldguitars]

love Govan and great channel!!!

[@ThinkMink15]

There are many paths to get there and the journey is the most fun part. I'm a piano player fighting the same tendencies. A good way to get going would be to intensely practice your altered scales and start getting that hammered into your subconscious. Put that together with a strong focus on chord substitution and you'll find your ear opening new avenues up to you.

[@roho_guitar]

probably the best performance of this song by him.

[@KevinC.2023]

I really enjoy the part of the tapping and then the bending at 1.57 It's so amazing...

[@danyangelobatio]

2:49 - 3:04 after hearing this phrase im able to leave this world in peace!

[@immortalsoloist]

MR.Guthrie Govan has got technique,feel,and immense Virtuosity

[@jazzeritto777xd]

GG is my favourite guitar player....is magic...fucking magiiiiccccc!!!!!! I love this sound!!!great melody,great sound...bravo!!!!!!

[@roho_guitar]

gutherie is just amazing . i liked it !

[@tollandy]

People have been waiting centuries for Jesus to rise again....... well people he has and he can play the guitar, he is my favorite guitarist i reckon he can blow anybody away!!!

[@sabar_sabendino]

I love steve and joe..............before watching your finger dancing on the guitar. You break my heart, mr. govan.

[@philippaps44]

well i expected nothing less from guthrie govan he is indeed a guitar genius i think a collaboration with greg howe would be the real deal

[@Sperzel]

I would like to thank Yagooor for posting these awesome vids! Very good quality and filming!

[@StadiumArcadium1234]

this is the first ive seen of this guy...DAMN so damn funky!!!!!

[@MarkAndrewMusic]

he just seems like such a genuinely nice dude!

[@mulotwo]

He's really wonderful !!

[@bskkid4eva]

wow, guitar slap, tap, wow just wow, speachless

[@ReedDNB]

i love this guy

[@thegreatgarry]

really... I think this is the most unique song in his album.. So fucking great..

[@69cohonas]

that is true, i am a greg fan to, but i think that one of the great things about guthrie is not only his technique, but his understanding of rythm, which very difficult in general, but then try and imagine how it is in his shoes.

[@FaizalJiwaMusic]

I haven't heard him play the same thing twice... ever! Every time he plays this song, it's completely different. It's ALL improvised. Holy crap.

[@wonekawa]

The real deal! Thanks for posting this sir!

[@Gmanrushfan]

Ha ha...okay... you win. I am a huge Guthrie follower/fan by the way.

[@Gregorypeckory]

The miracle is dedication, good practice habits (focus on improvement goals, rather than playing what you've already mastered), periodic reflective self-examination, a little guidance now and then, jamming, etc. Don't be too hard on yourself; if you're improving, that's half the battle. Playing should be fun, even though you're never as good as you want to be.

[@youngun550]

This guy is so great!

[@thegreatgarry]

yeah... Guthrie is capable in all kinds of music style just listen to his whole album

[@dennoow]

Exactly! Both of them are on the same extremely high level and here it doesn't matter that Guthrie can pick faster or Greg's tapping is more awesome. It's all inferior to the wonderfull music they create and their endless source of creativity in improvisation. I heard that solo, very very pretty! GH's latest album "Sound proof" features a song called "Child's play", one of the most exciting solo's I've heard in my life! Can't wait untill Govan's new album comes out too!!

[@xRisingForcex]

the quality on this video is excellent

[@DeadSton3]

he's amazing

[@metallicasf]

Yeah man! True. I think that's why i like this

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

exactly. his knowledge of theory is ridiculous as well. and he NAILS chord changes. And writes very good music with great changes and great melody. if you havent watched the "fives" video than you are really missing out on the greatest living electric guitar player!

[@SalvoVecchioGuitar]

Amazing musician, he's one of the best now...

[@godak]

OMFG i can't wait to get my hands on this album!

[@1000watts]

Brilliant!

[@edward10004]

Truly high grade skills and Interesting music.

[@lizsa12]

awesome! amazing! legendary!

[@Quikfingers]

I think the important thing to remember, love or hate, is that Guthrie is in guitar magazines, and putting out albums and playing shows for people that love him. and you are on youtube arguing.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

I think that thing he does at :20 (then giggling afterwards) does it for me. He's the new great guitarist, an insane benchmark.

[@simms75]

I believe he now runs workshops etc.. But back in the day I used to go along to his house in Chelmsford (when he still lived with his parents) up to his bedroom and just learnt - If I remember correctly in the space of only two lessons he completely redefined the way I played and learnt guitar over the previous 3 years. I still have the tab exercises he wrote out for me in my kitbag. I think he charged me about £10 an hour. LOL. I haven`t seen him in about 3 years now. Lovely fella though.

[@fanqueen]

This guy is incredible

[@alejandrobedoya666]

wonderful shopery thing ;) so cool

[@DatAnydex]

This is my favorite GG KZbin video!!

[@SonsOfThunder229]

Hes having fun with an original. he can do what he wants.

[@rockermetalhead1200]

Such amazing tapping technique

[@ToinoeCompanhia]

this guy is the best

[@mrselfdestruct009]

Guthrie kicks so much ass it shouldn't even be legal. Everything about his playing is top notch. Groove from hell, great rhythm playing, fluid lead playing. He's the dream session guitarist.

[@gearofgratte]

Very good feeling !

[@octavapalomita]

Muy Bueno!!!! M e gusto bastante, me hace bailar =)

[@dennoow]

"Joker's wild", "Dance", "Stringed sanity" and "Direct injection" are other insane solo's by master Greg. I favour him too, his choice of notes and phrasing next to his groove and incredible technique are just exactly the way I want to play if I was that good! Both seem to be able to play anything that comes to mind, and that's why the're technically that good, what sets them apart is their creativity with those licks.

[@LJLiveLV]

soo awesome

[@proteoid]

I agree Dennoow :P Guthrie and Greg Howe are equally amazing. Different styles, but both are musical genuises. The music they create is what matters. I personally favour Greg because he just has that awesome groove - its infectious, and he seems to be able to combine several techniques effortlessly. You're Right - Child's Play has an unbelievably awesome solo, but one of my personal faves from Greg is on 'Bottom Line'. 'Found Unwound' also has some of the best playing I've ever heard.

[@Jerkoffkid]

the little riff he did at the start was unreal

[@suihkubad]

@Guitareben i saw an ad in guitar world or something adverising rotosound(not 100%) strings with Guthrie and there was the numbers of 9's string set

[@JoseStev]

Like the strumming rhythms

[@freeko55]

guthrie is awasome

[@MalignantSelfLove]

oh my god! he do slaps in his guitar!!!!

[@Gregorypeckory]

No problem; The advice is as much for myself as you. Personally, I take comfort in knowing there are players like Bill Frisell, Adrian Belew, and John Stowell, who blow me away with their ideas without having super speed (which I'm not really built for). They remind me that you can make exciting music without having Holdsworth/McLaughlin/Guthrie speed chops. (Not that I'm remotely as good as those guys; but it seems more attainable; and just as musically valid.)

[@francisco444]

for all of you asking. I think he is using an EHX Bassballs effect. I have it n is very similar to his tone. Is not a wah wah is an envelope filter btw

[@martinisbutik]

@xstevenguitarx 1. Tone is in the fingers. You gotta be Guthrie. 2. Top of the line Cornford Amp 3. High end Guitar 4. Plenty of mids, compression and just enough gain so it slightly overdrives

[@DeadSton3]

Guthrie Govan es un genio !

[@TheAdamWallace]

@xstevenguitarx I think by tight you're describing the sound compression imparts on the sound. A "tight" tone is achieved by using a compressor. It evens out the level difference between highs and lows and makes picking a lot more even and tight. A good, and not too expensive, compression pedal is the BOSS compression pedal...it's blue.

[@renatobverissimo]

Rhythm is wonderful

[@mikegenova3274]

GREAT GOVAN!!!!!!

[@Cantstandtherock]

Amazing dude!

[@RandyLott]

@Tzachi076S Yes, strumming is tighter due to more resistance. Light picks get floppy and kind of drag over the string.
