The Gospel of Guitar Jesus! God bless Guthrie! What a fantastic musician!😅

Brillant, wise words from a wise man with a great sense of humor, plus, as a French MF, I really appreciate his so British accent… Such a good player, source of inspiration… Thank you Mr Govan.

when you're *that* good you can give away all your secrets knowing no-one will still ever be able to catch up to you. greatest guitarist of all time.

A tour de force - kudos🎼

Yes! I live for the moments that I hear my hand doing what I need to learn and doing that without a laborious process of wrote. Music is reaction to sound in a language learned by listening.

He has truly become Gandalf the White, not just in wisdom and guitar playing ability, but also in appearance as well.

Brovo!❤

his playing is so irrational in the most orthodox way. I love it

so glad i discovered Guthrie Govan

Is there the full interview available?

His approach to music is the same as that of a language. One can learn a bunch of words or phrases (passive language) but it’s not until you but it into context and start using it that it becomes active language. When first learning a new language you have to think about every word, but eventually the thinking stops and it can just flow freely

Bravo à vous deux, superbe travail !

My god, Guthrie is transforming into a legit wizard

Thanks for sharing Guthrie.

As a classical realist artist, I concur with Mr. Govan.

Trust yourself

Great Applause

He keeps on looking more and more like an old wise wizard as the years go by

my #1 piece of advice to any musicians old or young in 2024 is STOP SHOWING OFF AND JUST PLAY THE FUCKING MUSIC

The most important aspect of teaching, I find, is to always make it clear *why* the teacher wants the student to learn something. When I let my students solve a similar three times in a row and they remark something like "why do I have to do this, it's just the same thing again", I tell them "ah! See? You've learned to recognize the problem *and* you remember the solution to it. Nice!" The aim of learning is not to become the best, it's to have fun getting to where your abilities can lead you. You don't have to master the three-finger-death-punch and you don't have to be able to play like Guthrie. Nobody expects you to, nobody demands it. Guthrie got to where he is by having metric f-tons of fun doing it, and obviously by having a born skill to coordinate his fingers and think about what he's going to play instantly. A *lot* of that is training, but a big part of it is a born ability _to_ train it.

Me thinks there are few guitars that can actually handle the task of transmitting the genuine expression Govan suggested as an ideal. That is, guitar makers seem to have a passive knowledge of how to build a guitar to match the sort of dead guitar playing he’s talking about. Everyone needs to get back to fundamentals, maybe a retreat is in order.

So humble yet so wise. Maestro!

I think I like listening to GG talk just as much as play. The knowledge, the humble nature and entertaining delivery... good stuff. My favorite line of his was during a rig rundown about a pedal that was taken from him - he said "it was stolen by Romans" because it disappeared in Italy. Made me lol. Love that guy.

Some of the best advice you could give. No limitations, just perseverance. Walk the path.

This is what genius sounds like

This is similar to an off hand comment I said to my mentor the other day. He showed me a lot of new stuff and I was trying to use it in solos against tracks. Normally, I can play with feeling, but I was thinking too much. I said, "agh, I know the words, but now I have to learn how to use them in a sentence." Which, after I said it, made me realize that's how I felt with a chunk of the things I know but don't KNOW. You can use big words all you want, but if they don't fit the context and sentence structure, then it's worthless and won't sound right.

Lucky students he had.

Why is dave Chappelle there?

Huh. That was actually legit advice.

Great wisdom.

Wonderful advice!

I’d be a completely different musician if my first “teachers” first lesson wasn’t “learn this joy to the world tab and I’ll see you next week”. I kinda wanna start advertising my own lessons.

"I'll know my song well before I start singin'" is one of my favorite Bob Dylan lines.

Most of my music students are that way, too. They rarely want to learn basics or fundamentals.

But why he looks like Russian 😂

He's a gem !

So if I understand him right, and i think i do, he is saying we should challenge guitar teachers to death matches? This is why I love Guthrie. This is the advice that you wouldnt get from other guitarists. I have literally never thought of doing that but will give it a try.

True geniuses are simple and approachable. GG is the perfect exemple.

Great musician, great teacher, great person.

He answers how he plays guitar, thoughtfully and creatively

there actually is a book called " the tao of jazz improvisation" by sheldon zanboer. when i read the sleeve notes i though " wow, im having some of that!" and got the book. after a good few exercises it clicked! its just a way of getting you to play in all keys!

DAMN.

I can’t ever put into words how beautifully he described being a player and as a player I’ve struggled with hearing something in my head and then try to make it happen, and most times I fail. But that bottom line is so crucial if you are a weathered player. “Look, this will ONLY be useful to you, the day that you can do it, quicker than you decide to do it.” You have to have a lot passive vocabulary until it becomes ACTIVE vocabulary. It’s really inspiring stuff to any musician I think…

This is just more platitudes. Not helpful. This guy is a bore.

That was amazing. ❤️ 🙏🏻

word….

wow i love that

Absolutely true!

dude looks 80
