Guthrie Govan Live at the TC Electronic Booth

[@Fulltondano]

Please Guthrie...let me cook for ya....we need ya here for many more years!

[@spicecrop]

He is on a strict diet of cigarettes and beer.

[@freeschaeffercox1640]

Looks more like a vegan

[@BeeZhar]

1:13 to 1:19 I love how his right hand hesitate to tap somewhere but his left hand is like " Wait ! I Got this BRO" Guthrie is the man.

[@guitarpaul3645]

There's not a better player on the planet. It's great that Guthrie is getting loads of richly deserved visibility on youtube

[@ytsephill]

Man I love seeing the reactions from random people as they walk by. They're like: "Where are these moon beams and rainbows coming from?"

[@Tacoguitar]

Ive heard this song countless times but every time i listen to it, i am as equally bown away as the first time i heard of Mr. Govan.

[@JazzzRockFuzion]

Best tone I've EVER heard from him....so woody!! And his tone was already stellar. Just amazing.

[@Neogeofanatic]

My God... Govan rocks !! xD

[@tcelectronic]

@Neaniscuo Yes he is fantastic, we are happy to have him onboard! tcelectronic/jens

[@cdemarcomusic]

whoever said shredders have no soul never heard guthrie...I could listen to him over and over and over and still be surprised by the phrasings he is able to produce...GODDAMN I wish I was that good

[@RandyLott]

Listen to the dynamic and tonal variation of each note. He is the articulatory master! Every pick stroke means something!

[@zzlong55]

Vai and Guthrie are my favorites of all time! Both guitarists express themselves with great skill, feeling and musical idealism! Thank you GG and Vai, (even though this is Guthrie's video, Govan was inspired by the genius of Vai's playing and technical prowess).

[@bbieye]

Thank you! I didn't know this song is Guthrie Govan's one.

[@WoWintosh]

I love Guthrie's style, his playing is so fluid, I get the feeling that his guitar is "alive", that it's much more than just some pieces of wood with some pickups bolted in. I feel as if his guitar is singing, he gets that incredible vocal-like sound.

[@jbeTV1]

Once again G.G. just amazes. Such a wonderful feel for the instrument. :)

[@MrLivingCartoon]

Guthrie never ceases to amaze me

[@KenjoMendez]

1:19 - 46 is simply one of the best guitar sounds I have ever heard in my whole life...x__x Amazing Guthrie is amazing...xD!

[@tim11elliott]

he is so modest also,, he is my fav right now...

[@wvClifton]

All guitarists starting out are created equal; but some are created more equal than others.

[@Despond]

Guys the man in the audiences reaction @ 4:38 is what it's all about. Pure joy and respect, he smiled/shouted and I am sure Guthrie loves that honest exhilaration. I know I was smiling! Fantastic player and just seems to be clean on any set-up.

[@Syntraediace220]

@VikingPowerlifter fascinating. this booth was one of the more crowded ones. and it was only when Guthrie was there.

[@Scias]

He's had a solo album out for like 6 years, had several albums out with the bands Asia, GPS, The Fellowship, The Young Punx, The Aristocrats, and more, ALL containing original material. :P

[@zezuntxiduntxi]

Guthrie is really one of a kind.

[@awesomejohnnet]

great tone!!!!! great player..

[@flyingsquirrel73]

Love how he uses the hair band to keep the tapping clean..usually you only see people do that in the studio..kinda cool to see it done live.

[@hcasting847]

Unbelievable guitar player !!!!!!

[@jellytroid]

he reminds me of jason becker. looking like a nice guy while being extremely skilled and also soulful in the playing.

[@chaggo21]

@BleedTheBlind this man is the answer to that question dude

[@guthriefan777]

4:23 - putting the tc-pedal to the metal :) I love the zoom into his face it reminded me of Vai's FTLOG video. "Waves" is definitely Guthrie's "For the Love of God".

[@RoccoPezzin]

one of the best guitarists around today, this guy is amazing. it's just me or he looks a lot like ian anderson of jethro tull back in the 70's?

[@CinemaVeriteSNM]

Guthrie sos lo mejor que le puede pasar a una guitarra!

[@hman7419]

His is insane and so much feel!!!

[@paulnoah5]

guthrie and greg howe are sick the way they shred these guys kick@$#!

[@DerEchteBold]

This is Original Music of His!

[@AZIARGROUS]

his shirt, so much win

[@xRisingForcex]

@idolfrets i'd agree that it's not the guitar that makes the player, but guthrie is VERY particular about his sound

[@frannyp46]

@Deanosius Thank you. I should have added that I would whisper softly to him what time would he would like his breakfast bringing up in the morning and what newspaper would he like with it as well.

[@zappafile]

Wow that tuner is amazing. Hear all those in tune notes? Thanks TC.

[@samgam69]

guthrie is the man!

[@haseoxv]

simply amazing..!

[@Kingding6]

@VikingPowerlifter ahaa wtf The man is a genius. Ner Ner, WST, Eric,Waves, Slidey Boy are all masterpieces. These people are there to see one of the great guitarists of our time.

[@coltsuperocean10]

Thanks Ali G

[@frylocdub]

no one can touch this guy

[@Jeepjones85]

Just amazing :D!

[@pastelitoblues]

They all those who were there, when they came to the house put in sale his guitars!

[@yamitanomura]

spectacular !

[@TMoody]

There is a glitch in The Matrix.

[@kanis999]

Craziest shredding at 4:30. They don't show it! How does he do that ridiculously fast run up the octaves? String skipping?

nice, lots of smiling faces

[@DanIbarcena]

Sevens awesome song!!

[@MrGul]

The guy headbanging at 4:40 is awesome!

[@1Dave0Mustaine1]

Fkin awesome t-shirt Mr. Govan

[@superhossenpheffer]

Also, at 3:05 or so... he starts playing the song "Fives" until about 3:38 or so.

[@christophercarrasco6478]

Es una real inspiracion para mi

[@Overture2152]

the tapping part starting at 1:19 O_o good jesus was that awesome.

[@DrEightBit]

i found a new hero!

[@metalmouth13]

Guthrie put out a new album already!!!!!!!

[@nezmaster1]

@frannyp46 This is the single most phenomenal comment I've ever seen.

[@Kingding6]

@Guitareben It really is natural talent though...Look at Shawn Lane, he started playing when he was twelve, worked on tecnique for about 2-3 years, then only worked on music. He never worked on his tecnique again after that. He also never had to develop his speed, it was just there, he just had to clean it up. Lane, along with Govan to an extent, is the definition of natural talent.

[@fabinhovieira]

EXCELENTE ! O MELHOR NA ATUALIDADE!

[@jereibanez]

4:35 Look at that guy!!! I think he said:God!!!!Thanks for give live to guthrie govan!!!

[@Gregorypeckory]

Listen to the blond woman at the end; she knows whereof she speaks!

[@Explosive184]

@Guitareben If you talk about guthrie's technique, it is true that even though he has awesome technique many people can match him because technique is only a matter of practice like you said. BUT The expression natural talent in relation to guthrie has nothing to do with his technique but with his musical ear, sense of rythm, and creativity. These are indeed improvable traits but reaching guthrie's level demands profound natural talent.

[@dlowrie290]

Well my pride just took a swift kick to the side of the head. Guthrie is at the apex of modern guitar playing. He'll either inspire you, frustrate you, or both. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to practice...a lot!

[@Despond]

The guy shaking his head is disbelief @ 4:40 always make me smile and laugh

[@LeandroGarat]

the bends at 4:04 like he was doing a scale amazing...

[@frannyp46]

@nezmaster1 Thank you for your kind words Sir.

[@cerelilqt]

@idolfrets Yeah, but you need to take into account some amps such as solid states dont handle dynamics properly, and no matter how soft or hard you hit the string, it will still sound the same.

[@kalmahman48]

super nice tone this guy is insane i wonder what pickups he uses

[@TomTom-wro]

Respect. One a few can do this. But the real master is if course Andy Latimer. Pure feelings and emotions.

[@moneynkush]

is amazing

[@ggalexhutchings]

@Timmonsec looks like you are getting your wish, he's heading to the studio with bryan beller and marco minnemann as we speak!

[@hakanv9382]

He's fuckin guitars have very vry nice sustain, very fuuuucckk, noce guy guthirie

[@MathijsIgnoul]

@idolfrets Agreed. If you want more proof of your idea, I suggest you watch Bill Bailey's imitation of 'the Edge'. It will have you in stitches.

[@Kingding6]

@adsh83 thats my favorite event in the guitar olympics

[@mkehandgrenades]

@Timmonsec hell yeah we do!

[@pensatore]

Guthrie brought a Cornford Roadhouse Combo

[@andresludmer]

guthrie owns everyone else.

[@hldemi]

Glad you figured out the sarcasm ..... Lot of those thumbdowns dont ....I pity them .

[@kalmahman48]

@idolfrets hey man you are so right i know if you are good enough you can make any piece of shit sound like a masterpiece but when it comes to tone you can really hear the difference between say a squire and an ibanez jem if you know what i mean

[@scottfree6]

@Explosive184 fuckin a right there brother!! i couldnt agree more, the onlt thing to say after whatching guth is HOLY SHIT THAT GUY IS FUCKIN A AMAZING!!!

[@jamescornford]

@deanml1986 certainly was a cornford amp!

[@hakanozelguitarist]

When he does that sweep at 04:33 the guy in the back TOTALLY gets it :-)

[@willbilly2fistmcgee]

Good God !

[@katschrowski]

Klasse!

[@CoryKnowland]

What I wouldn't do to see Guthrie and Stevie Vai on the same stage!

[@zzlong55]

@smegsdoppel Why anyone who calls themselves a fan of guitar playing would look for anything negative to say about an obvious master of the instrument is beside me. Paul Kossoff was great and soulful, and I even owned his double album of solo material and Backstreet Crawler music. But to say Guthrie cannot vibrato soulfully is bunk! Maybe you have not heard all of his stuff, particularly obscure recordings made a long time ago. The man is a well-rounded guitar hero!

[@Deanosius]

@frannyp46 That is undoubtably the best comment I have ever read!! Rock On Guthrie!!Lol

[@Kingding6]

@VikingPowerlifter In time, Guthrie will show his composational talent, after he gets the shred out of his system

[@GuyFawkesGuitar]

Well, I must say this. I do know Mr. Govan personally and I think that's why he is so good. You see, he was at me house once and I accidentally left out some "Tim Halcomb" CD. Now I'm not making any false claims, but I could've sworn that I had 12 out and after left there were only 9 there! :-|

[@Kingding6]

@idolfrets I agree, lots of people could practice for years and years and years and still never reach this leval.

[@steveo27545]

I am still looking a person who is as great a player as this, still a big Eric Johnson fan but Govan is the technically best player I have heard, please if you know another person who can play every style please list them

[@frannyp46]

G system? He just hit my fuckin' G spot!

[@vajraloka1]

whats this namm thing? i heard vanhalen on it too.

[@gnatiu]

Oh God, Guthrie. You really need to do this? In the tc booth? Umph!

[@fanqueen]

Es crack mal este chabon, imprecioannte

[@zero15388]

guthrie is the alan moore of guitars

[@93badfingers]

@LiamCapt there's this thing called "google"? Maybe you might want to try exploring that cuz obviously u haven't done your homework...

[@marleysheredder]

@Guitareben and you're not the only one I can totally bet it =)

[@tjmanson]

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy For the uninitiated Guthrie can play any style, check him out on Dizee Rascal's track 'Bonkers' ...

[@LeandroGarat]

fucking sick!!!!!!!!!!!
