Guthrie Govan Part 2

[@Jez1963UK]

I'm not even a guitarist and I find myself entranced by this guy - I simply love listening to him talk and love his music.

[@roystonito]

"Paul Gilbert can play jazz now. Lets all be very scared". I love how much he respects other people.

[@Weewokk]

"Wow, Paul Gilbert can play jazz now - let's all be very scared." Another reason why Guthrie is so great is just how much respect he has for his fellow guitarists. He has an attitude that we can always learn from each other, even when we get to a level, such as his, where we are very accomplished. Phenomenal guitar player and guitar theorist.

[@Modes9]

In addition to being a great player, Guthrie has a talent for giving clear, concise, and useful answers to questions. I'm sure he gives great clinics. Paul Gilbert found out how difficult it can be to weave a coherent line through a challenging chord progression. Sometimes I wonder if things ever really got better than Charlie Christian and Django...

[@sam31]

very cool interview! Guthrie rocks. Love the talk of Trucks, Holdsworth Thal etc

[@guitaristforfunn]

To Loud Guitars, thanks for having a kick ass interviewer.

[@GameJazzer]

Well Guthrie himself is G3.. He is Guthrie. He is Govan. He is Genius.

[@CrazyCow500]

"They haven't played with other people, they haven't played standing up, they haven't played loud"

[@MrMurens]

Nice interview!!

[@mkilner]

great interview, i will checkout softmachine now! cheers!

[@rdicko86]

Its funny hearing Guthrie talk, its like his words constantly fail him when he tries to describe the thoughts in his head. Guthrie neeeds the guitar to express his thoughts. And LOL "and Paul Gilbert can play jazz now? lets all be very scared" haha... awesome guy

[@jenko701]

A real pro ,nice to see .

[@superdog797]

broseph you know you love it

[@JahJahBruh]

I wish i could meet him once.

[@Gorbyrev]

"Wow, Paul Gilbert can play jazz now! Let's all be very scared!" Got to love Guthrie's turn of phrase.

[@roystonito]

SECOND SOLO ALBUM PLEASE!!!

[@W4Rnerv]

Totally got a huge smile when he mentioned AAL!

[@roystonito]

Good lad, get on the Opeth. Do you like the later albums only or have you been also dabbling with pre-Blackwater Park albums too? Although Still Life is a masterpiece and maybe their best of that era I think the aesthetic, heaviness and lyrics of My arms your hearse is truly unique and maybe my all time favorite.

[@JeremyPringsheim]

literally had to pause it and tame my goosebumps when he mentioned AAL - that was exactly who i was thinking about in terms of brand new ground being broken TODAY.

[@capturethelife]

Wow he just mentioned AAL, interesting! I want to hear his thoughts on Tommy Emmanuel, Scotty Anderson, Bireli Lagrene, Chet Atkins, all those monster players.. it must be very interesting to hear.

[@michelthegreatable]

i AM one of those young kids who's never played with anyone else before. it'd be easier if i knew anyone who played with as much passion as i have.

[@mattjones1950]

HE MENTIONED ANIMALS AS LEADERS!!! :OOO

[@IronMonkee]

Guthries crazy and exhausted lol

[@t3tsuyaguy1]

"Paul Gilbert can play jazz now?" (eyebrows merge with hairline) I love awesome musicians geeking out over other awesome musicians. :)

[@AlexPriceMusician]

Get yourself out there man, go to gigs and introduce yourself. Start a KZbin page that you can tell people about and have them be impressed. My efforts on KZbin have opened so many doors for me in the local area and at college.

[@FrumpyPumpkin]

I think that's a pretty astute observation. I guess the think to take away is that at it's core the pursuit of music should be for the creation of music. But yeah, I can't even imagine the years Alan spent locked in a closet perfecting his playing.

[@fernandomoreno7753]

the interviewer sounds like an old guy who doesn't like the "bedroom shredders". darn kids! slow down! haha

[@alex30yw]

like if as soon as you heard animals as leaders you dashed to the comments

[@800pieds]

One thing we can be sure of: Paul Gilbert is who he is because he did a lot of struggling. And maybe he's not struggling like a beginner would, but if he's been thinking in pentatonics and major scales his whole life, maybe he's fighting hard to gain a respectable level in another style.

[@maxomilian]

The thumbnail looked like the last supper

[@capturethelife]

this man is way too humble

[@fastlaneprofits]

dude Paul Gilbert is from GIT and he could play any style but he was from his era metal rock and that was his identity not becoz he cant play jazz or fusion.Guthrie is a different breed,he already presents himself not a s a shredder but more to fusion,blues n rock

[@ninjasbar]

Paul Gilbert is learning to play jazz now?!...now thats something!!...waiting to hear that stuff... :-)

[@Rcbquark]

Tosin must be aware of the impact he has made on the music world.

[@guitarreilly]

3:12 hit home so bad im desperate to play with others and just find it either so hard to approach people and to play in front of anyone

[@superdog797]

we can go together right

[@JasonARevis]

Sorry if that came off as arrogant... I guess what I got from Guthrie's comment is... if you have talent, share it... you may be an inspiration to someone else... If you don't want to share... that's cool too. Seems to be an old question... if no one sees it (or hears it)... is it art or is it exercise?

[@czzham]

Guthrie reminds me of, like, an English David Torn (no musical comparison intended) 40 years after David's Ithaca years. No offense intended: I fully appreciate each in their own. Peace

[@goran2608]

I want Guthrie Govan,Paul Gilbert and lets say..Buckethead live 24h channel,just lock them in a house with some guitars and amps and -ACTION!!

[@CharlesC2024]

I have the hugest man crush on Guthrie Govan. What an interesting man.

[@KainVKail]

Tosin would be baffled that he mentioned "Animals as Leaders". Just goes to show the Recognition that guthrie thinks certain artists should have.

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

preposterously busy haha

[@1bol1]

Click (show comment) to go on an adventure.

[@JeremyAltsman]

Its funny a couple years ago I seen an interview with Misha Mansoor of Periphery talking about Guthrie, he said hes a "freak of nature'. Now Guthrie acknowledges Animals As Leaders as the modern meat, and the wheel keeps turning.

[@NeoGodHand]

Guthrie seems to acknowledge all the bedroom player's willingness to get good, though he only wishes they'd put their hard work into actually initiating, creating and playing music rather than hone skills and play along in a metaphorical silence to their favorite tracks. The interviewer seems to chastise them for what they do and how they practice, then belittles them for not comparing to Holdsworth, essentially saying they haven't put a dent in skill and never will. Perspective.

[@superdog797]

it's hairy funny

[@superdog797]

you wanto go get high youre saying maybe...come on you know you love it

[@czzham]

Scared, indeed!

[@wilfeatscheese]

0:00 pretty brutal scars on his forearm !

[@oilkills]

This is slightly inaccurate because Paul has been learning jazz since mid 80's when he became great friends with Shawn Lane. just sayin...

[@Grimm1337]

Hard to watch with such a funny camera angle

[@moonjelly84]

5:04 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@superdog797]

are you hairy or not

[@superdog797]

why dont you help me are you hairy or not

[@scottfree6]

is it my imagination or is one of his "toofers" moving up and down....yikes!!! serious chopper work needed :) but we still love ya guth...great guy, great guitarist :)

[@superdog797]

Guthrie Govan isn't very hairy
