[@MikeGervasi]

Govan is there not showing off not giving a shred of judging vibe to the other players. He actually seems interested in what they have to add to the conversation and when they are done nods his approval. A truly unique master guitarist.

[@marcocasati6953]

true that, as a terrible guitarist myself I was waiting for him to destroy the Music. Man guy who couldn't bend in tune, but instead of being a rockstar he chose to be a fellow musician.

[@DanielVerberne]

I'd never feel confident to stand on a stage and go toe-to-toe with Guthrie.

[@guitaristforfunn]

*lmao* it's not ufc man. although i bet Guthrie could throw a mean roundhouse. he is hella humble, i doubt he thinks he's having a guitar duel with anyone, but i get what you're saying. imo he's one of the best guitarist I've ever heard/ seen live. His technique is through the roof. When he sets the bar he just tosses it in the air and it never falls back down.

[@natfingerboard]

I'm pretty sure they rehearsed several times, and him being such a humble guy built their confidence up till the day of the jam

[@DaveWestGuitar]

He'd make you feel welcome, he doesn't seem to have that competitive vibe:)

[@adsffdaaf4170]

@@DaveWestGuitar thats why his music is melodic and not just the speed arpeggio nonsense

[@theroonburagohain]

so true😬😬

[@bluebear25519]

Don't you all people see this? Guthrie is a humble guitar hero that can play with any beginner musician like this video. Salute

[@guitarbattleslive1274]

pretty sure you mean "amateur". these guys are definently not beginners.

[@KarnKaul]

It's always so awesome to watch Guthrie "quote" other random tunes and perfectly fit them in context, all while improvising.

[@MackJohnson1337]

+Karn Kaul Do you mean the bit at 5 min 02? I was wondering what that tune was? It fits perfectly!

[@KarnKaul]

+MackJohnson1337 And also at 6:18

[@jasonjasniewski5925]

+Karn Kaul He is so good at doing exactly what you just said. Few probably know the fret board or "music" better than he does. A true musical beast with a huge brain!

Salute to the two guitar players who were able to play guitar nicely in front of Guthrie.

[@c00kiem0nster1999]

thats being nice

[@eurisguitarcardoso7880]

Haha was going say the same

[@dextershumba7262]

Guthrie's playing just makes me laugh, it's just so unbelievable that someone can be so good!! HAHAHA!!

[@gavleo6303]

Very good guys! Well done

[@Larriex97]

So great players!

[@mrk5290]

Fantástico e muito bonito

[@srcps]

good session

[@stevey1000able]

i have no idea who the other guys are ecept for guthrie govan, but he sits back and lets the other guys have their chance to play and be heard, and gives the song space, then when it's hos chance he's great, and he works for the song not himself. well done sir.

[@guitar78ish]

+steve wilson The "other guys" are just those that paid to attend the masterclass clinic. The featured artist usually has a jam at the end with those that would like to get up on stage with him.

[@andreribeiro2839]

For me it´s weird to see each guitarrist using a different strap height lol.

[@StevenLascombe]

song starts at 4:15....yup sorry I said it.

[@Passive_j]

Thanks your doing God's work

[@steinetakorgroovy]

I agree but still no jazz feeling

LMAO I didn't notice that lol

[@krookiemonster2673]

Dude in red pants is way better than I could ever hope to be but damn... when govan played right after him it was insane how much nicer it sounded.. I truly believe the tone comes from the player not the fancy guitar..

[@krookiemonster2673]

@SoftserveSodium and all the skills 👌

Wow, the guy with the Music Man who solos first really spoils it. I imagine he had to be pretty excited to be on stage with Guthrie Govan.

[@zkkzkk32312]

I would be twice as nervous as that second solo guy if I was playing with him.

Uf... El chaval del fondo tuvo que sentir auténtica fatiga... Y yo auténtica envidia, qué daría yo por tocar con guthrie!

[@nandoholgado3050]

+Jose Armijo Bueno amigo, aunque mi mensaje no iba cargado de ningún tipo de mala intención ni crítica, sí que es verdad que un mal día puede tenerlo cualquiera y la lástima es que lo tuviera al lado de guthrie.

[@mrt445]

5:04 Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman. The guy with the red Jeans almost fucked up. Good thing he cleaned it up near the end of his run.

[@LegitAsl3alls]

this video is from the future

[@TearTheRoof0ff]

+Love All Only going by the American standard for date syntax.

[@TearTheRoof0ff]

Love All Oh I see. Yes the traditional US way is strange since the components don't increase in magnitude from left to right like the English method (I can only assume the day/month/year method came first, long before the colonization of America). It's also awkward when the country of origin isn't known and both interpretations are possible due to the day and month both being under the value of 13. Specific famous dates can become second nature though, like 9/11 meaning September the 11th, which demonstrates how the US dating method is made to match that phrasing. Still, it's an extremely unhelpful difference, compared to trivial spelling differences like 'color'. Interestingly the band Living Colour is American... Where am I?

[@romarinhosilva9447]

Alguém sabe o nome dessa música?

[@yomykomy]

The song at 5:05 is called Tom's Diner

[@blunderbuss393]

I noticed that. Just goes to show that Guthrie listens to maybe almost anything.

[@tenkotv3470]

Thanks

[@marius9372]

And it blends perfectly with the chord progression... I don't know, it's like the whole band decided to play that lick, but it's just Guthrie improvising. Astonishing

[@hallucinatedovens8414]

that song reference @ like 5:05 did anyone else pick up on that? I hate that song but it was funny still

[@The1stMrJohn]

his Suhr guitar is rather nice !

[@shoetree]

+MISTERJOHN JOHN you mean his charvel....

[@fabriciomessi2861]

+MISTERJOHN JOHN it's a Charvel guitar (GG model)

[@thomastaylor6102]

Even great musos sound ordinary and look nervous playing with Guthrie. That’s just what the Guthrie is. I’m starting to think Guthrie is an adjective meaning, a level of excellence generally regarded as unattainable.

[@tanchokdewan9020]

He don't give a shit if it's a big gig of small gig's....he go everywhere where he is safe playing...........

[@MaryJoyceCarroragsajo]

The guy at the back is very impressive!

+Mary Joyce Carro *lmao* the only people here who played well were the bass, drums and guthrie.

Ur ryt dude

[@seanruiz3357]

+Tyler Saunders its sort of like the old school of musicians are disapearing and being replaced with "youtube stare into a computer post everything on line" musicians,..instead of musicians that are constantly playing live refining their art that way,....

The guy in the red slacks is lost somewhere in time, you guys just watch ,study ,and listen ok.

[@Billbill80s]

Guthrie seems to play with the most unknown nobodies, someone correct me if I am wrong?

[@asdfdsa16]

it´s some music school masterclass, he´s jamming with some stundents i guess

[@narr2151]

yup, it's a small music school in Barcelona

[@nandoholgado3050]

Sometime ago i posted Something like that and they responded to me that is a teacher of the academy... I think that to be a great player and to be a great teacher may not be the same

[@flat5sharp11]

>to be a great player and to be a great teacher may not be the same< True. Just so happens that Guthrie is both.

[@Diax1324]

He does the gigs that pay. This one probably pays very well, and he gets to travel to boot. Lucky bastard.

[@peyator]

For a second I though that was young Martin Miller (guy in red pants) lol

[@diamondbreak]

Being on the same stage with Guthrie must be like you can do everything stupid even touching a guitar.

[@chrisboyd2827]

What song does he quote at 5:03?

[@raoulduke3612]

Suzanne Vega "Tom's Diner" Reminds me of getting my hair cut in 1990

[@juanhdz1354]

Herbie Hancock! Great Jazz

[@Shamukh]

red pants sounds like a metronome warrior. needs to work on bending to pitch instead of making his fingers move fast.

[@jakobsamani9607]

i think they way he holds the guitar makes it alot harder for him to have good bending controll

[@natfingerboard]

+Jakob Samani he wants to copy Guthrie's style of holding the guitar

[@marius9372]

His phrasing sounds nice to me, he should improve his vibrato and bending skills... Dynamic control as well

[@mosot624]

what are those things that wrap the strings?

[@DanielVerberne]

+mosot624 Might be something like a FretWraps, used as a string dampener, for two-hand playing that might otherwise involving strings ringing.

[@mosot624]

Thanks man I might get one of those

[@jada90]

Looks like he might have something official here, perhaps supplied by this band. Usually Guthrie uses a hair elastic. Get em at a pharmacy for a buck.

[@mosot624]

thanks as well, I already have one. Just got it from ebay few weeks ago for £3.

[@gtr4u2]

What is the song they are jamming to. I get this mixed up with X Marks The Spot?

[@gtr4u2]

Excellent. Thanks for the info!

[@lunandine80]

name of the song, anyone? tnx

[@MrMickiew]

Cantaloupe island by Herbie Hancock

[@lunandine80]

+MrMickiew Much appreciated, friend. I've been stuck with the melody for 2/3 days now, trying to remember the composer or the name of the song. cheers

[@MrMickiew]

Cheers

[@DCSeraph]

Sigh... Skip to 4:12 for Guthrie's part.

[@guitaristforfunn]

+Brian Williams because the other guitarists weren't noteworthy for a second.

[@DCSeraph]

+Brian Williams There is such a thing as good music and bad music, regardless of how noteworthy (or in this case, not noteworthy) the player may be. I was helping you skip to the good part. Please note you are not obligated to accept my help.

[@DiegoPujolT]

Make sure you don't upload your videos about the time you played with Guthrie.

[@SolsticeMelody]

Finalement c'est pas si mal, Suzanne Vega...

[@steinetakorgroovy]

Is this supposed to sound like canteloup island. Its wrong scale and its not even close to Herbie hancocks jazz version. Sounds like a bunch of rockmusiscian trying to play jazz.

[@stevejpm1]

drummer far to busy

[@TheKb24BM]

12/03/16??? Guthrie could time travel :0

[@MyersMusicUK]

Oh dear. Not all countries use the same date order as the U.S

[@TheKb24BM]

+Ben Myers just a joke bro, trying to point out how magical he is lol

[@natfingerboard]

+Ben Myers in fairness, i don't think any other country uses this system, I'm probably wrong but if not all, at least the majority of the other places uses day, month, and year. Well, lets be real, makes more sense.

[@chiringuitoelcuartel3860]

Yo entiendo que están aprendiendo, pero el del pantalón rojo es terrorismo musical

[@zechariahfrink3707]

These dudes really need to learn how to PHRASE their ideas, and work on timing instead of "look at me Guthrie I can solo/shred and sound kinda like you....." NOT even close bruh. If you want to really learn and improve you have to put your stupid ego away. That's one thing all these young guitar players MISS with Guthrie. He's not out to show off over everything.

[@willbananas]

Still, must be intimidating playing in front of one of the greats. I think that they handles themselves quite decently. They both threw in some fun ideas.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

@Juan2003gtr Yes, but he's got a point. These kids have chops but they get in the way. They need to relax and let everything flow naturally.

[@joecool415]

They need to sing what they play, instead of just exploring places to put their fingers. They don't sound like they've been playing jazz that long and seem nervous. Tbh Guthrie attracts that audience by the way he plays. He's definitely a rock guitarist that learned jazz and then marketed himself in the rock community.

[@zechariahfrink3707]

@Juan2003gtr Really? What stuff did you see? I am a full time professional musician. I endorse Fodera guitars which artist roster list encompasses some of the greatest musicians in the world. They do not just let anyone on that list buddy. Watch/listen to this and then tell me how bad my timing is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKiQZpeqoZama68.

[@zechariahfrink3707]

@@joecool415 Yes I agree. These guys are not bad by any means. there's a lot of nerves due to playing with someone they hold in high esteem which is understandable. They all have potential to be great as long as they keep an open mind and study. Guthrie is definitely rooted in rock/blues, but has branched out and studied a wide range of styles making his playing extremely versatile.
