this man is a fantastic speaker. hes got mystique, and hes non stop intelligent humor, with a single drop of awkward.
Yes, when he looks away from the camera after a punchline, its funny
@@NONE2NONE what is "intelligent humor"? And when is he NOT looking away from the camera?
David Lee......spot on description
Reminds of Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull
Yeah, he's British
The Master Jedi of guitar players.
+DaemoniumCC and I'm jar jar binks
+CareyPortnoyBeauford one of the funniest things I've read all day
+CareyPortnoyBeauford Lucky you. I'm that little box-shaped mouse droid.
you mean the one that almost leased its ass room out to cheb's foot in episode 6??
I'm sorry sir, this title has belonged to Trey Anastasio for two decades already.
Its always pleasure listening to Guthrie speaking
+Infighter For some reason, it's really relaxing.
I could listen to this guy talk and play for hours. He is so amazing. Really inspiring and his articulation makes understanding his ideas so fun and easy.
3:10 "and see if it sounds like music... that was suspicious..." .. Lol he is such a character I love it
Haha exactly why i love this man :D
Guthrie, I know you probably don't read youtube comments (as you shouldn't haha), but in case you see this, I love you man. Your frank and "un-egofied" way of communicating is a beautiful skill in and of itself - not to mention that your guitar playing is so incredible that any adjective I could ascribe to it would not be fully describing how amazing you are as a guitarist. I am just so glad that you are willing to share your knowledge with us, and I can't thank you enough for this. Please keep loving music and guitar, and be fulfilled knowing that there are people out there who really do appreciate you and seriously benefit from you.
I’m ashamed I didn’t know a lot about this guy until a couple of weeks ago when a friend suggested we go see The Aristocrats as they were playing in my home town. It was a fantastic night, and Guthrie was firing on all fronts - I love his humour and his way with words. He is a genius.
Something tells me, that regardless of the path Guthrie might have chosen, he would be successful at it. Genuine guy and guitar master.
He was going to study Philosophy at the start...
"That was suspicious, let's try that again"😂😂😂😂😂

Guthrie has such a lovely, fluent way of speaking. I'd listen to him talk about anything, but he's talking about *guitar* and that's even better.
The voice and speech of this gentleman appears hypnotic to my ears, and I'm a spaniard.
*S i*
I would listen to any audiobook narrated by Mr. Goven.
"That's the classic happy birthday scale" I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great example of someone really nailing their existence purpose. So many master class types in all walks lost due to misdirection or unrealization. Wonderful to celebrate those that have arrived there.
Yet again i listen to a lesson by Guthrie and INSTANTLY my playing and musical third eye is clearer and better.
Thank you!
thankyou for the words of wisdom Gandalf.
Guthrie is such a great teacher, can't wait for more.
What fantastically encouraging explanations
Great at playing, great at teaching, world class ability with a down to earth approach. Amazing guy.
Absolutely love this guy - such a brilliant guitarist, and a fantastic teacher too
Fantastic teacher and player ! Thank you !
Thank you, Guthrie and Guitarist. Fantastic resource.
Love this guy's playing, teaching and sense of humour. Top notch 👍
Could watch and listen to him all day. Love the dry sense of humour he has too. Super talented.
Just listening to Guthie speak is pleasant enough and then his knowledge to me makes him one of the best to watch and learn. Thank You
Guthrie is such a humble genius. I could listen to him talk and play all day.
The most eloquent guitar master! I've learned more from these two installments than any other YT video! Thank you Master Govan!
One can actually learn more than they thought (experienced or not), by going back over this stuff. Thanks Mr. Govan, great stuff here.
Greatest guitar teacher I have ever experienced.....This guy has a gift ............Not just the incredible guitar player he is .
love you man! keep smiling, love the way you 'phrase' your smile at the end of a sentence!
The world of guitar was in bad need of a man like Guthrie. He arrived precisely when he meant to!
What a brilliant teacher! his articulate speech and vocabulary echoes from his academic preparation for and the time spent at Oxford University, I believe...
Love these videos. Guthrie really is a great teacher. He never forgets the little things that make these techniques difficult for most people and presents them that way. Even though it's incredibly easy for him
He is an amazing teacher, his choice of words to explain the details are perfect. Noone explains it like Guthrie
just nonstop amazing and useful, thank you
A great teacher and a pleasure to watch. Very easy to trust a humble yet confident and without arrogant soul. He effortlessly commands my full attention. A Shaolin Priest of Guitar.
Guthrie, you're an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Well, listening to Guthrie is truly mesmeric.
I cannot play the guitar and am too old by far to learn now.
But I have been listening to the best of guitarists for rather longer than Guthrie has been alive and he thrills me
Never too old.
I'm a drummer, but i can't help watching guthrie. He's just musicality incarnate. love this man.
Fantastic little class.
This teaching are great one of this Players who give me Inspiration when i am Down like helpless from heaven thank you
The way he talks about music you feel how much he is digging into it "Makes your note more interesting"!
Guthrie - thank you ,thank you , thank you - aside from being a genuine virtuoso player you are a world class teacher because you have a world class mastery over your instrument and you are gentle and genuine and full of humor and intelligence. Thanks for your cover of Shawn Lane’s “Get you Back “! 🙏🎼🎸💥
He should read children's books!
You're, kinda right. Weird.
He does. Last year on the Aristocats show he showed a cartoon book that inspired Kentucky Meat Shower.
That's quite the insult 😅
The fact that he took the time to work out every bend in every scale is absolutely insane…I don’t think my brain has that much space available, thank you weed.
Nice to hear the Jan Hammer reference too! Brilliant lesson.
I just Adore this Viking !
Besides the brillant teaching there's a lot in that very pleasant narrative voice that reminds me of the young ian anderson.
What a sweetheart of a man.
Guitarist team (or Guthrie if you're watching :)
1st of all, thank you for this lesson. This series is one of the best pieces of guitar learning I've ever seen. Guthrie is an absolute joy to learn from. The man is absurdly talented. Not only at guitar and guitar education, but also at just generally being an outstanding human.
Secondly - What amp was used for this lesson? Guthrie's clean tone on this is beautiful. I know the components of his guitar, and how his playing are influencing the sounds. So now trying to figure out what amp he was using to get that sweet, glassy tone.
+Nethera6 it's a Victory, not sure of the model. They're a relatively new British amplifier manufacturer and their owner was previously a designer for another well known amp manufacturer, though I dont remember which
+ipg616 - Thanks for the info there, I appreciate your response.
I was thinking it was a likely a Victory, considering how tightly Guthrie's been integrated with Martin Kidd & Victory lately. I know Guthrie plays several models of Victory so I was hoping to pinpoint the exact model used here (or find out if it was possibly another brand/model). I know he's keen on the V30, V50, and V100. I can see a V40 in the background of the shot but it's not plugged in. So, it's obviously not that one :)
As for Martin's previous well known manufacturer you mentioned, I believe it was the "Cornford" amp company.
+Nethera6 Its a Victory Countess Amp he is using.
+Stuart Palmer Thanks for the reply, Stuart. So, the V30/Countess then. That's great to know
How did you figure that out?
+Nethera6 It was Cornford.
the greatest speaking guitarist of all time
A true genius , a master player bar none 🎸✨🔥🔥🔥
my God, those choice of words really hitting the spot. :D
this guys surely knows what he is taking about! he is genius!
This bloke is gold !
God*
I m always amazed his being conscious of what he's doing doesn t interfere w his playing. So far every bending trick he s demoed I do, but had no idea I was. If I did, it woulda messed it up.
Such a generous human ❤❤❤❤thank you Guthrie
Oh the eccentricity I love it.
Guitar jesus is so much easier to learn from than Vai. He stays on topic.
Absolute gentleman, fantastic player (Not my kinda stuff though), always like watching/listening to Guthrie.
Good Man and very talented .
I love this man
I luv his voice
Guthrie has nice lessons. I really appreciate he uses clean tones. I am tired of distortion.
That was extremely accurate. Guthrie could teach a panda to talk in human language :) He doesn't make the lesson bland and a chore. He throws some funny stuff, knowing that it will regain your focus. He's really one of the best. Thank you Guthrie for sharing your secrets with us.
8:11 The only part of this lesson I thoroughly understood!
Just one think to say, thank you !!
Remember how much it hurts when you're doing it correctly - Best lesson I've ever heard ;>)
I really enjoy his speaking
Guitar sounds great. Any pedals? Very sweet and jazzy but some bright. Lovely. Pickup single or humbucker?
I find this guy very hard to dislike. Now thats impressive. Good guitarist too
The nice thing about his classes is he usually drops in a few discreet, WTF did he do there? Or HTF did he do that?! It helps you to keep you on your toes. I love his use of the vocabulary as well. After playing a slightly sharp note he says "that was suspicious". If he had the time I would suggest he writes a novel.
Listen to him speak and watch him, it is very clear he fully thinks of every word before he speaks.
I fucking love this dude
Forget guitar, incredible teacher...
"extra quirk" = added seasoning, can be quite tasty. :)
question for anyone that knows. When I'm bending up, for large bends, my finger tends to sort of grab the next string above it so that when I release the bend, it makes the string above it ring out undesirably. The only way I've found to sort of fix it is to try to mute that string with my palm, but it's not always easy to do. I'm wondering if there is something basically wrong with my bending technique.
Any tips for getting vibrato when doing bends? I never seem to be able to get it right
1:47 Every single day bend all the strings with every finger. Pull or push one step and shake the hell out of it. Yes, that means unassisted pinky bends with vibrato. Do this whilst watching tv at night. Make it hurt and embrace the pain -it fades. In one month, you will sound better than anyone you personally know.
Came back here especially to thank you for your suggestion, I’ve been doing exactly what you said for 2 weeks and have drastically improved my playing. Indeed, the art of proper tasty bending is what defines the sound of electric guitar, so much work must be applied there. Thanks again!
@@puzzledcaveman5775 -Aww thanks! It really is transformative, huh? I wish it had occurred to me sooner -like 20 years sooner. I sometimes quit doing it for a month or two, and do other things. Its a mistake though, and I always pay for it. Now put in the same amount of time doing downwards bends w/ vibrato. A 2nd or 3rd fret D string full step bend w/ vibrato will be really difficult. We should be able to do the same thing in both directions.
Russ Wilson Very transformative indeed, from what you just said I guess I’m very lucky to be running into this 3 years after I started playing. I’m totally bent (haha) into working really hard in my first few frets bends, as that is where the painful challenge really resides. Not to mention that many other techniques like hammers and pull offs strongly benefit from the workout these bends provide.
@@puzzledcaveman5775 -Yup! Hammers and pull offs and bends. Throw in stretch exercises -this is the absolutely the fastest way fwd. Oops! I forgot to mention. Speed pick each string 4 min a day. Start w/ open string and move up the fret board, till you hit your highest fret. It gets harder to pick, the higher you go. You are gonna burn. I hate doing this, and I neglect it. But again -in one month, you will have a very noticeable improvement. This is not an opinion. It is a fact. Pebber Brown turned me on to this, and I hate him for it! There are two sides to guitar. Music, which is fun, and mechanics, which are hard won through pain. Luckily, mechanics can be drastically improved upon, in a 30 day period -at which point, they only require a fraction (1/4?) of the time, to maintain. Bends, hammers, pulls, stretches and picking. These cover most of the required muscle development. I will post later what one of the best stretch exercises entails. It's not as ugly as the picking and bending,... Well, I'm off to teach via Skype! Go kick some ass, senor.
""that was suspicious" :) Love this guy!!
I never thought a regular E Major scale could sound so jazzy!
It makes me think of Es whenever I hear that 😂😂😂😂😂 Legend
The most eloquent guy in the business.
It’s Richard Richard! Love you Guthrie
My new guitar God!
Just out of curiosity? What’s that wrapped around the bridge of the guitar?
Guileless…everyone is worth teaching and worth helping with respect. Rare trait….why children loved Mr Rogers and why adults are so surprised and touched when they see it in another adult…such as this man.
for me, this is like ASMR. I love watching and listening Guthrie. I am here for watching and listening him, not for the lesson.
I can't decide what he's better at, playing guitar or using the english language.
Everybody loves Guthrie. I've never seen so many "likes" with so FEW "dislikes". There are cute kitten videos with more dislikes (because some people dislike kittens, for some inexplicable reason).
what is that thing you put on the neck?
The Bob Ross of Guitar !!!
I think I heard the lick 5:22 from G3 Live at Tokyo by Steve Vai before.
+Fuukana-TV does no metta
Do the "Law & Order" theme!!
Is there a good reason for the capo to be there, I mean is it to prevent the strings to get noisy like if your having a loose nut?
That isn’t a capo, it’s a fret wrap.
What is that bracelet looking thing wrapped around the nut of his guitar 🎸?
Prob a stupid question, but what's the hair band thing behind the nut on your guitars for??
+Iron Jrod No. He mostly uses it to mute the strings when he's tapping.
who is the keyboard player he mention at 6:30??
Haha this guys awesome “bit of extra quirk”
7:30 "I guess it would look like that" ...
