great camera work on the picking hand guys.
The picking lesson where the camera cuts away from the picking hand every time he plays. Gotta love it.
Absolutely my thoughts. Video should be called "left hand fretting".
My thoughts exactly!
Yep - a ‘beyond pointless’ video!
🙄
well, the guy's explanation is so good, that you _almost_ don't need to see his picking hand.
Right 👍 I *completely agree* a GREAT VIDEO 📹 😊
6:53, an interesting camera angle to observe his tremolo picking from.
Got you 😂😂😂
A strand of his hair seemed to be vibrating, but a silly angle..
Absolutely bizarre
I was about to point that.
i feel like out of many guitar tutorials Guthrie has one of the best "Teacher" Demeanors. He's patient, truthful, extremely helpful. Thanks for the vid.
"Grab that pointy, thick pick". Yes sir!
Also girls like it thicker !!
Jazz 3 little red one 👌👌
What are you doing, step-Guthrie?
Hey Homer.
@@craigsweeting507 - Hey boy!
Love watching anything with Guthrie in it. The dude is smart, articulate, and ridiculously talented. Also, he is living proof that self-taught guitarists can become masters!
There's no such thing as "self-taught".
Also, ask yourself: at what age did he start, where did he learn his techniques, whom did he have the good fortune to know, what was his musical environment like, and so on and so forth.
I'd say that for anyone to reach this level it's basically 99.999999% that
1) They have to start young
2) They have to take lessons (or something *like* lessons, eg UA-cam or Skype
@@mattgilbert7347 A question of degree , it's not "either/ or"
@@ijohnny. Sure. I come off like an asshole in that comment, must have been having a rough dau
Did not know he was self-taught! That just blows my mind
I don’t believe Guthrie is self taught. Just his posh voice, gives this away lol he was 💯 taught professionally. Off topic now lol, we all learn in our own style and we try to mimmick our idols as well to learn etc.
This man is otherworldly. No UA-cam video will teach you to play like him
@gravitationalconstant he is not in sync when he tries to play fast. he tires during longer pieces. watch Anton Oparin bust a few "great" guitarists picking technique. Its called "Does universal guitar technique exist"
He's such a great player. Tons of things to learn from him.
+Julius Narte paul gilbert, paul gilbert, paul gilbert, paul gilbert, guthrie
@@seb2923 Shawn Lane. Period.
Guthrie is such a great guy as well as guitarist. He really articulates so many subtleties of guitar playing so very well.
He made that all so easy for anyone to understand and to put to practice, what a legend!
Excellent lesson. Thank you so much for spending so much time on the pick, how to hold the pick, and movement of fingers versus wrist versus elbow. This is all extremely valuable information that is very rarely covered.
I love the genuine way you explain this. You have a great way of teaching.
Somebody give a medal to the guy who filmed this video, he always recorded the left hand
It’s always amazing even only hearing his wisdom of words(music talking).
Superb guy
Fantastic, thank you! How lucky to get a beginner video from such a brilliant guitarist.♡♡♡
Cameraman: Legato Video next?? Sweet! I will make sure to get great closeups of the right hand!!” 😂
😂
😂
Sure lol
:takes close ups of the amp.
Totally agree!!!
I love watching Guthrie, his style is like no other. Very cool!
Hes the best technical teacher, everything is so logic
I would listen to Anything - he has to say. This guy is Special. Tons of Great guitar players in this world, but G.G. is on Another Planet.
I honestly liked his teaching method. I tried finding more lessons by him, but came across other people on this channel. Gonna browse through the playlists again. Thanks for the lesson.
Always interesting watching demonstration videos by Guthrie. He reminds me of a young Ian Anderson, Great player as well.
Yehh everyone’s right about the editor but kudos to Guthrie for such a well explained tutorial. Such a humble dude!
Nice, I immediately played like Guthrie after watching this video
Thank you for uploading. He is my guitar hero, love to watch everything about Guhtrie.
I’m a straight ahead jazz player Guthrie but I commend you on beautifully explaining the mechanics of alternate picking. You dissected all of the most important mechanics and technique. And by the way, you’ve got some hands brother.
This guys rules!! What a great teacher
Best teacher, best guitarist. Love you guthriee
This is going to be my Start Lesson every day now...
Thank you, so much, Guthrie...
You are Really a Good hearted Musician...
The world needs more inspiration like this...Guitar Freaks here I come! Ha!
True!Greetings from Serbia!
I JUST started holding the pick like this yesterday and it felt awkward at first but I quickly acclimated to it.. and it DOES result in a nicer attack and bigger tone.... I was literally amazed!
This video has helped me so much! Thanks Guthrie!
I thank you revealing a weakness in my playing. Well done, Buddy!
"Grab that pointy thick pick". Genius.
What a genius. The rubber pen analogy. Brilliant
Lesson on picking, angle of approach and slanting, they just film the left hand. Utter genius.
The trouble with this wonderful chap is that he makes it look so easy. Brilliant specific tips, thank you.
Good lesson. Thanks for the clear explanations and smart tricks
Hell yeah man, great overview of everything...😎🎸🤘
As always a terrific teacher.
Let's do a video about alternate picking and cut to the fretting hand only during examples. *sigh*
Great video but damn.
John Morgan Hi John, this is an old video. I will put your idea to the team and have some focus on the picking hand. Thanks for watching.
+John Morgan Yeah I know what you mean. I have useless tablature which only shows me where to put my fretting hand....
+John Morgan Yes, it would've great if someone had clued the editing staff in on what this video's focus was. You'd think that they would check out, maybe...I don't know... THE TITTLE! Probably non guitar players.
I was expecting to see the picking hand the whole damn video haha
You wanna see GREAT videos of picking hand...check out Troy Grady's stuff. He's got the cool guitar-attachment camera.
Thank you very much for your generous service❤
I like how guthrie thinks and speaks between his sentences through his guitar
Loving the smirk when ya mentioned mandolin players!
He is so right. It feels better to pick at an angle with your fingers locked. I was never sure until now that I was doing it right
Thx Guthrie . Excellent lesson.
that pinky finger vibrato 9:24 wow guthrie u are true master well done sir well done
This is amaaaaaazing!
Excelent demonstration !
I would love to have a crash course with Guthrie for a week.
Just imagine the knowledge you would gain??
I really believe he is the greatest of all time.
Great tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and knowledge. Had the privilege of seeing you in Durban, South Africa. Virtuoso of note!! (pun intended!!) :)
Thank you, Guthrie Govan!
One of the best lessons ever period.
this great pick tech video thanks for sharing.
Yeah man, focus on the left hand while trying to recording alternate picking lesson. Great job!
You have to love the way this hero speaks.
Being self taught, this video is extremely helpful. Guthrie is a Master!!!
Glad you think so!
Editor did a great job.. marvelous..
very useful and detailed lesson!
Great! man the part of the 3 position crossing string picking, that´s key stuff, Great great.
Love these exercises.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Thank you!
excellent demonstration , i could learn from him fast
that was some nice funk work !
Please enjoy this great lesson. Take what you need and don’t blame anyone 😂
Thank you licklibrary
amazing guthrie govan!
as always, a monster performance
Love the videos thanks!
amazing guitarist!
What an incredibly likable guy
How to hold the picking will a great difference on your tone. Great video
Just throwing it out there, there is not cameraman to blame here. The video has 3 cameras simultaneously filming, one wide angle, one picking hand closeup, and one fretting hand close up. It's the editor who chooses which footage to play over the audio track and when. Blame the editor. Hard to believe they would hire an editor who knows nothing about guitar though.
Not entirely about alternate picking, but still an excellent instructional video that explains a lot about picking.
The angled pick is my favorite way to play. The pick slips over the strings instead of catching, and the attack is a little wider and softer. Because the pick is not fighting the strings, the arm and wrist are more relaxed. Relaxed muscles move faster, rigid muscles are slower.
What great tone!
Guthrie is THE MAN!
wonderful information thank you
The best!
Awesome video !
A systematic melodic n unconcivable player you are brother...i extremely loved the way you play guitar.....💜💜✌✨🍂
Nice lesson man ! You look like a very young Ian Anderson - Cheers ~
amazing guitarist
Living LEGEND....
Not only is he one of the best guitarists ever he is such an awesome British gentleman too.
He is Scottish
Please we need to see the right hand!!! The cameraman need to learn about the topic before taking the video.
G17AR Thanks for the feedback.
G17AR yeah man. at 7.00 u listen an ultra high speed picking and u see the left hand. this is stupid :P
+G17AR On top of this concept, you can strap a cellphone right above the strings, and onto the neck, to show an amazing angle. I've only seen this on one video but it really lets you see the picking hand.
+SYF_Gaming Search on youtube for a guy called Troy grady, he has a series aimed at pickmechanics and even designed a camera setup so you can see the picking hand in slow motion. He's had many great guitarists take part in his series aswell including steve morse, rustey cooley and michael angelo batio. I've never come across a more detailed look into alternate picking,sweep picking and general right hand mechanics than his series.
+Godspeed961 Seriously what the fuck were they thinking?!! "Let's stare at this hand that's not moving for 10 seconds whilst something incredible happens just out of view that you are watching this video to learn about".
Love how that PRS likes to scream. Nice.
This Video is really helpful.. :)
thick hard picks rule loving the new JD maxi grips
I'd love to hear this entire lesson with a clean, uncompressed electric, or a mic'ed acoustic. The super-compressed overdriven tone used here is kind of a hadicap because, if you hit a note softly the compression pushes it up, if you hit it extra hard the clipping limits it. I'm not for one second suggesting Master Govan isn't playing perfectly, I believe he is. I would just like to hear all the subtleties of his playing.
Been a super fan of Joe Satriani since the release of Surfing with the Alien ( went back and picked up Not of this Earth ) Joe has been my favorite all this time surpassing other greats like Vai Gilbert Freedman Malmsteen etc . Here comes Guthrie . Now this is the next step up . This guy is on a completely different level than anyone else . Truly Amazing
Jason Becker end Shawn Lane number one in the world...Joe Shi îs home...Vai same... Paul Gilbert It one the most fabulous guitarist in the world man
@@lucianmunteanu8751 my man
@@idk9637 👍👍🙏🎸🤗💯💯
You might consider actually having the camera concentrate on the picking hand.... in an alternate picking video... Just a thought.
Dennis Alvey Thanks for the feedback Dennis, this is an old video and we focus on the picking hand in all our new videos! Thanks for watching.

Only two years old... excuses. If you have Guthrie in the studio you don't make mistakes like that.
@@slipperysalmon Based on how young Guthrie looks on this video, there's no way this was only 2 years ago at the time of your comment. It's probably one from the vault which was only uploaded recently.
@@williamk5561 I was watching this clip back in 2010. Closer to 11 years old, If not older.
Good job 👍
Great tone
That guitar is beautiful
“The harder you hit it, the more like Paul Gilbert it sounds”
Hook in mouth-megadeth solo is great practice for this method.
Amazing...
I could not agree more!
Ive never seen Guthrie playing on a PRS, thats quite an awesome match
I am just fascinated by the way he talks ❤️
I found this video VERY informative! I'm sure most of you know the foundation of alternate picking - It's Up&Down strokes - for every note. Camera man did fuckup though, but I understood the message very clearly.
