Some Brilliant Guthrie Govan Moments - Compilation #3

[@pievancl5457]

His sense of melody is what I envy the most. Almost everything he plays fits, makes sense, is interesting and serves and elevates the song. That kind of ear is something that can’t be taught.

[@Sansflapet]

he started playing at the age of 3

[@japanesemaplepruning]

His phrasing is excellent

[@Henrix1998]

Playing guitar for Govan is as natural as speaking for us

[@chronoparticle]

Or breathing

[@hdehelly]

Or crying in self loathing

[@robosing225]

Funny because thats exactly how Shawn Lane envisioned one should be when playing the guitar: so fluid and well versed that it becomes as natural as speaking.

[@MRLBadSanta]

Guthrie is better at playing guitar than I am at speaking.

[@Jaehyun_Ryu]

definitely better than my eye-blinking..

[@TranceSFX]

DEAR LORD that solo over "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" blew my mind

[@CrazyHenkie777]

The fretless stuff was amazing! First time I heard someone play it that well!

[@vibonacci]

So hard to play

[@ironikaika]

I thought the same thing 😮 I then had the realization that all the classical string instruments are fretless. Maybe it has something to do with hearing blues type slide guitar played that way. Guthrie just has a way with the guitar that is so beyond yet so easy to listen to.

[@sergioibarra3461]

Fretless bass players and Guthrie here are the proof that electric fretless guitars could sound very good, but chords are very hard, in classical string instruments double stops are one of those medium-advanced techniques to do masterfully while in fretted guitar they’re one of the easiest techniques, the way Guthrie plays in tune is absolutely amazing

[@Grahfx]

He is the only one in my knowledge that can play fretless guitar properly. Even excellent guitarists sounded poorly on this guitar.

[@Jonjzi]

I always believed the source of Guthrie's powers was in his ears rather than his hands. His intonation on the fretless neck is a perfect example of that I think.

[@johnhancock9573]

The Hendrix flurries were really beautiful and the shine on you crazy diamond backing track was amazing!

[@HuyHoang-gb5hb]

He is a person who understands the laws of nature according to Buddhism. He learns music just like we all learn languages. Freedom + love + passion + discipline is key here. He also travels to expand his musical ideas. His parents must have understood life for which we should be grateful because the music in the family inspired him to study music. So now we have Guthrie, guitar’s God We can all be gods! By understanding yourself and consciousness.

[@ThisCreepingLife]

He is just a master in every genre and style. No comes close to Guthrie, this guy is like a fantasy, I can't believe he is real

[@farshidkarimi6786]

Listen to Buckethead and you will see this guy is just a dim-witted apprentice compared to the Grand Master (Buckethead).

[@drinks-your-water]

John 5? I believe John 5 is close!

[@farshidkarimi6786]

John 5 is good@@drinks-your-water

[@farshidkarimi6786]

Thank you for your comment. Have you ever listened to Buckethead's "Coupon"? if not, I suggest that you listen to it@richardharrold9736

[@alfredmawuntu842]

Jewish man always the best ❤

[@GTASynch]

Guthrie is to be enjoyed, as well as he is inspiring. He just emits awesome. Thank you AMV.

[@uberjava]

It seems like an age ago now.. and it probably was nearly 20 years, but I got to listen to Guthrie play live at the side of the stage with Richie Kotzen, and both of us just looked blankly at each other at the sheer brilliance of Guthrie's playing.

[@talsophos]

Guthrie that Good Richie made him play at the side of the stage 😂😂😂

[@1729abhishek]

Second solo was mind-blowing, shine on you crazy diamond, more complex but still simple enough to enjoy…

[@fernandodossantos6976]

Ele nunca repete ...há sempre algo novo nas suas apresentações!!

[@amvandmusic2169]

00:00 - Fast strumming demo 00:19 - Solo on a Shine on you crazy diamond backing track 01:25 - Hendrix style demo 02:12 - Waves with The Aristocrats 03:29 - Bluegrass related to bebop ? 04:43 - Fretless guitar solo

[@user-iv5wn1su4c]

Hmm. Sorry I think it is not bebop. In my opinion, it is shuffle with blues. Bebop or swing in that tempo (fast) usually uses equal rhythm (1/8).

[@petezah4597]

The pink floyd sounding backing track is shine on you crazy diamond

[@JayTheLane]

Legendary.

[@davidsparks6146]

That last fretless guitar was amazing... he made it sound like a slide guitar but with speed runs... more of that please!

[@g-love6507]

Guthrie is just off tha scale !

[@uke500]

I sometimes forget what an outstanding jazz guitarist Guthrie is. I'm sure he would have no difficulty playing standards or Bebop. He seems to have an infinate vocabulary.

[@daoyang223]

Im sure at some point, if it hasnt happened yet, he will put out some kind of jazz record.

[@MoreHeartThanScars]

@@daoyang223 All I want in this world is another Guthrie record

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

I don't think he would make a very good jazz guitarist, he just doesn't have that 'sound'. When he plays that style he just sounds like a metal guy playing jazz, which ultimately he is.

[@danielnery4054]

​@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 Guthrie metal guy? Haha. The sound you are referring to probably has to do with the type of guitars he uses compared to the hollow body type, which sounds very different

[@Davisolved]

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504look up the video of him playing Donna Lee and it might change your mind :)

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

never heard a cleaner fretless solo omg

[@javiermartinez-ub1qj]

I Can’t stop listening to it

[@511dydy]

I love Guthrie i think he is the best, but bumblefoot is a tad better on fretlesa

[@DavidleeBergeron]

Yeah, pretty effin dope

[@javiermartinez-ub1qj]

@@511dydy this is 100% improv though. You think bumblefoot can keep up?

[@deliacolquhoun2845]

Cuz the neck is made of steel so you don't need a slide. The neck is the slide.

[@shemueltannak4799]

A GENIUS!!!👏👏👏UNBELIEVABLE!!!👏👏👏UNIQUE!!👏👏👏INCOMPARABLE!!!👏👏👏GUTHRIE IS PHENOMENON!!! PHENOMENAL!!!👏👏👏

[@Souza895]

Anime and Guthrie Govan, your channel is very specific I'm really a teenager looking for your channel

[@HeavyProfessor]

That one at 0:21, the beginning of the solo, just amazing with just a few notes

[@butterflywing61]

Wonder what Gilmore would have to say about that one!

[@HeavyProfessor]

​@@butterflywing61 would he appreciate it

[@OFFICENEIS]

Belleza De Music ...

[@gimzoso]

I love Guthrie's phrasing. A few long felt emotional notes to get you feeling good and then a burage of notes in seamless scales to slap you in the fac e to ensure you are paying attention. Like when a magician does a perfect trick and you are sitting htere stunned thinking, what the hell just happened?

[@FeistyLeviathan666]

Guthrie's one of those guitarists that stares at you while he's playing, but he's the only one that's not a flog while doing it

[@justinludeman8424]

Guthrie on fretless reminded me of Sonny Landreth playing slide like a demon. Smashes everything with class.

[@MadDog-dn5st]

I'm glad I clicked on that one cuz this guy has got the feel and technique down pat and just blasts through it all with ease...a true player's player!

[@johnnywlittle]

Always amazing- luv the fretless at the end

[@unabrazoatodoslosbuenos]

The dude is a beast. 😮

[@ericrabaey2889]

A great talent!🎼🎵🎶🎸

[@satyakidas7045]

Keep posting dude

[@bimochitarrista]

Scott Anderson, Guthrie Govan, Alex Hutching, I never tired hear this three Guitarist!!

[@marketherton2296]

Next level playing. Not many players out there that can play like Mr G…

[@Radio-sb5cv]

#3 was sick

[@TheOfficialTLM]

The fretless proves how much he knows his stuff

[@Ihadthismate]

What I love is he is using every tool and making the most of the types of phrasing the fretless allows for. Pure brilliant

[@josenoelzepeda4769]

Great guitar 🎸 player👍👍👍

I love The Aristocrats, go see em live if you can. Chemistry!

[@Silverlining1111]

@0:21，what is the event? It’s so 70’s psychedelic. ❤

[@magicalspoon799]

Never fails to impress

[@hulldanfan]

stunning !

[@OTahDah]

02:14 Chon probably took some inspiration from Guthrie.

[@Souza895]

Thanks bro

[@Jonjzi]

"E is a big country" is a great quote.

legendary

[@pc1chas]

He is the GOAT!

[@stevestephens8925]

if govan ever meets up with nuno i'm going to hide because they might just light the world on fire.

[@StopPanakinAnakin]

i wonder where that fretless guitar is that he violated is nowadays.. gahdamn i love this dude.

[@theavenger3363]

Stunning

[@ELISEUGUEDESGUITAR]

O melhor da Atualidade!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

He is Scary-good. Love Guthrie = absolute Beast on guitar.

[@Tezzmeuster]

The vig fretless is by far the most impressive thing ive seen

[@pjcouture9944]

I dont know man, I think Guthrie might be the greatest of all time!?

[@marcos_c_m]

True

[@pk6221]

0:56 this is sth what David never could, but history shows, that you needn't be a master to become a history

[@miky8788]

so damn great

That fretless piece was just brilliant

[@seymourceikemusic6699]

I just F--N LOVE THIS GUY !! Absolute MASTER 😊😮😊With a kiss ass attitude as well.

[@bornindissonance]

Never seen anyone shred like that on a fretless guitar before

[@jovinthatcat]

Do you have the link for this videos? Especially that Waves live . Thank you very much,great video !

[@amvandmusic2169]

Glad you enjoyed it ! The waves live is from : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6urkmx6bbyUoNk

[@MikaTarkela]

There's also a funny and awesome clip of the Waves live loop where he explains how he composed the song and someone actually tabbed it and made the whole thing into a video! If you search gutherie govan waves loop tabs it should appear. It's so much fun!

[@zdeneklojkasek1841]

Guthrie Govan 🦁🌋⛲🔊 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 GENIUS ....

[@fenderbender5746]

He is so amazing. If you haven't heard Regret #9 take a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5KrY3Zohspsbbs I know it is orchestrated and a large production piece but here he is. Guthrie on a strat with bends and vibrato that develop the most tension possible in a guitar solo. This is Guthrie somewhat restrained by a fender stratocaster but by the end you know he wins. This video should have included this moment hands down.

[@jeffbrodie42]

Genius #1

[@7guitarras326]

What a master...

[@555pontifex]

He's gone fretless now, this god of the guitar. Where will it end? Is he going to discard the guitar altogether and telepathically beam his solos into our brains?

[@SOLDbyYOU]

Aqualung plus guitar?

[@Tebbs31]

I really don’t understand how people can suggest Guthrie has no feel or soul to his playing… Blows my mind…

[@humbuccaneer84]

Thats more of a ginger joke, wich holds a certain truth when it comes to the mental state. And this does come from being a little different. Don't you just love people and how they accept eachothers differences especially our dear children. But the underlying truth funeral music does not sell.

[@GreggOliverBass]

He doesn't miss

[@michaelireland7239]

what a demi god on that guitar oh my lord he is the master end of story

[@mccloysong]

Some shred and it's just scale calisthenics. Guthrie does and it's always musical.

[@ScreamerpipeL337]

Yesh!! Yesh! For Yazz!

[@jimgreenside4506]

Kinda Beck- like, bit of Gilmour, bit of Van Halen This guys fun to watch

[@Tonysmithmusic]

AI will never take over the world while humans are capable of this inventiveness.

[@shredmaster300]

I asked AI to explain me some govan's playing or phrases in his style. And it gave me something))) So....

[@fabiofmetal]

Alien... He's from outher planet!!!

[@rodrigomaia501]

Guthrie is from the another world

[@Reptile61]

Guthrie = brilliant = Period!

[@SixStringHarmonies]

It became the standard diatribe for a while there - starting in the mid 1990s - for the guitar ecosphere to try and drive home this paradigm where "you don't need music theory", you don't have to learn the technical scholarship of "music on paper". Thankfully that has subsided some in the past decade. Guthrie is evidence, as are Vai and John Mayer (and any Jazz guitarist) that in order to truly attain the "next level" you need to understand how chords and scales relate and how to use them. How to play music with color. Not to down simple music, ie Nirvana, RAtM, or Green Day, etc. It has it's place and is very good. However sometimes a power chord just doesn't provide the level of detail you get from a sus2/4 or a m7b9, a #11th, etc., etc.

[@kianooshakram3169]

He's a MACHINE

Holy shit thsi solo from Waves, does anyone know full video?

[@ironblud]

Needs to tour with Bumblefoot

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

I think his right hand moves faster than the speed of light. I'm only half kidding.

[@mwyatt222]

The trick to seeing great guitar players is seeing them live in the span of a few days. l saw the Aristocrats at gas Monkey in Dallas and was blown away but the next night l saw this unknown guy at a seafood restaurant l was eating at that was better lMHO named Marbin or Danny marbin. lve seen great players tho going back to the early 70s.

[@FunkadelicPancho]

That was Dani Rabin. He's awesome, but he's no Guthrie

[@SkepticalLlama]

If Guthrie got his hair cut he’d lose all his powers.

[@apbosh1]

I taught Guthrie how NOT to play. Thats why he's so good.

[@CHTB182]

🐐

[@evanpujols]

how

[@sansubr]

Its funny how some people in the comments need to start comparing guitar players and who's better - it seems they have grown up in an environment that cannot accept the fact there can be multiple amazing things at the same time without one being better than the other. Like all the 5 basic elements have the same value. Nothing is greater or better than the other.
