- www.premierguitar.com PG's Rebecca Dirks is On Location in Chicago, IL, where she catches up with The Aristocats' guitarist Guthrie Govan who walks us through his entire live rig on the band's US summer tour, which includes his Suhr signature guitar, Suhr amplifier and cab, and a pretty extensive pedalboard with stompboxes from TC Electronic, Providence, Dunlop, and Ernie Ball.

"It makes me sound like a duck...which I enjoy". Looks at the chick dead in the eye with a straight face.
Kevin Rivera I
And a quick glance at the rack :D
This is Guthrie's "Monty Python behavior"
If Govan wasn't a guitarist he would narrate nature programs. Damn, he should probably still narrate them!
Figures, He was an English major at Oxford or some shit. He almost went the academic route.
That's awesome if it's true, man! I was referring more to his excellent narrating voice, though.
xdddaaxxdd
Oh it's true. Heard it from one of his interviews. I just can't remember the University. But I think it's Oxford. He had to decide to stay in school or be a rock star. He chose wisely in my opinion.
But I get what you mean about his voice and the way he talks, but the English study has something to do with it. He also worked at McDonalds believe it or not.
xdddaaxxdd
Yeah it's Oxford, I just checked on Wiki. Pretty funny.
There's a lot of rock dudes who'd do the same. Like James Hetfield reading fairytales...
This guy is priceless. What a complete gentleman with a plethora of one liners. The whole interview is one funny line followed by an even funnier one and the dude isn't even trying. I think I'd piss my pants & be spitting out drinks just hanging out with this guy. He's awesome!
they're meant to sound like turtle shell, but you don't need to kill anything, which is "groovy man"
+Andrew Suzuki "It pleases him!" haha Also I have to ask, whats that there on your breadboard?
✌
only a Brit would use a tea tray for a pedal board, magic!
His signature "Earl Grey" Pedal board?😂😂😂
C'mon! You can be the one to boost the likes for this comment to 100. You know you want to !! ☺️
8:22 Guthrie "This"....turns on chorus pedal, strums chord...................."Sounds expensive"! Very classy way to describe a chorus pedal.
His tones are ridiculously gorgeous and innovative. He's got a great sense of humour.
Omair Sheikh this guy isn't human, even his sense of humor isn't human
He's British. :D
4:38 "I should explain the general philosophy of this pedalboard"
I love him :D
"They are joyous things to behold" I love his mannerisms.
Joyous things to behold.
+daniel moore
Talking about frets! He's great.
+daniel moore Yeah one of the best Guthrie-isms.
+MichaelD8393 "egg frying background noise"
Stratcat And also "This........sounds expensive"! when he first turns on the chorus.
***** "I should explain the general philosophy of this pedal board"
His knowledge bank is an endless void. "Egg frying background noise" Who the hell comes up with that stuff.
He comes from another dimension lol...
He did go to Oxford for an english major I think, and he used to read a ton of books since he was three. One would expect him to be well acquainted with the language
called anologies
Start The Rebellion no, it's anologies my phone did not auto correct me so I spelled it right
you say potato I say potato you say potato know what I'm sayin
9:47
That's what she said.
did i just hear guthrie play a RATM riff? life is complete lol
He did lol
Killing In The Name
the best RATM song of all time, hence it's no.1 in top 10 RATM songs by WatchMojo
He played the whole of Bulls on Parade with Dizzie Rascall a few years ago.
AJD OLD CHANNEL ARCHIVE I prefer Bulls on Parade to Killing in The Name, mainly because of nostalgia.
And then the tapping lick he did kinda sounded like something from Mega Man
moisture and evil
And all that good stuff
As many times as he's gone over this, it never gets boring. What an amazing guy.
6:08-6:13 Gotta love the way Guthrie navigates through this. "But enough of this... let us move on to my other devices" fuckin smooth
The fact that he has muscle memory for instantly tuning the E string to D and vice versa PERFECTLY was fairly mind blowing to me.
He’s like a guitar-playing AI. It’s insane
"burn the evil out...this is where the filth comes from...adequate amounts of meat..gaping head wound.. cheapest, nastiest pedal of the bunch.." Guthrie is an articulate guy
I think dude went to oxford for english before he decided to commit to guitar. Hes a dude who would be at the top of any field
"i can bore you with the details" :D
He went to a prestigious college for English
Damn! Now I need to practice my guitar and English. Guthrie is like guitar Jesus who speaks like Shakespeare.
Grimm1337 putting effects into the front of the amp means they cxxome before the preamp (where the amps tone is generated) the effects loop is after the pre amp, but before the power amp (where the power comes from) the reason for some effects going into the effects loop is generally that in situations where preamp gain is used, time based effects such as delay, flanger, reverb etc. Sound better because its easier to effect a distorted tone than it is to distort an effected tone, hope it helps.
Rebecca is the best guitar gear interviewer of all time. No comparison. She's a legend
Yeah, she was a real pro when it came to interviews. I was so sorry to find out she had left PG.
She is indeed good.
"what picks are you using?"
Hardly the stuff of legends, but we get it, you fancy her.
Absolutely!
Nah she’s just hot, have you seen her interview with Satchel?
lol "...doesn't do much, just there to cheer me up..."
Best Rig Rundown out there. And I love that guitar!
Props to Rebecca for a very interesting/thorough look at Guthrie's gear! Nicely done!
was this the capcom intro at 3:09? :D
Seeeeegaaaa
sevens from erotic cakes
YES
! Amazing catch bud!
Nice! Now I will have to play Street Fighter 😂😂😂
Sounded like it, yeah
I would definitely pick Guthrie to narrate my life in his own words
I just love this guy. His intellect and wit always catches me by surprise. He also uses sarcasm like spices he stirs into the stew. Really enjoyable character.
@premierguitar Wow!! Premierguitar is amazing!! And Rebecca Dirks too!! Thanks for all the rig rundown stuff!!
08:30 😂😂😂 her face when he says"egg frying"
I LOVE GUTHRIE, HIS SENSE OF HUMOR! ^^
He seems like such a nice guy. unassuming, humble, witty, and a damn great guitarist.
Rebecca Dirks knows her stuff. She asks the right questions and knows what she wants to get out of the interview. Very mature interviewer. Props to you ma'am.
At 2:53, is he doing killing in the name???
MyCatShitsFire Literally heard that and scrolled to say so. But youd already done it xD
Wimpywolf same ahaha
Same haha
haha yes! awesome catch!
MyCatShitsFire Even he can appreciate Tom Morello
Love this guy. I've watched this like 10 times.
Great video! Thanks PG!
“Egg frying” Rebecca’s face looks like she is going to loose it. Guthrie is hilarious.
she's good. she knows alot
Unlike you, alot boy.
i love how everything 'pleases' him XD
Very nice interview
...it cheers me up to know that it's there.
Brilliant.
"I will tune up more before the gig"
Bugra Sisman I read this comment just as he said it 😮
Love the "Killing in the Name" riffcheck at 2:52, followed by the craziest whammy bar thing I've ever heard
Rig explained by not any guitar tech but the man himself, we need more interviews like this.
Most of the guitarists interviewed usually look all tired of interviews, but Guthrie actually looked like he was having fun explaining his rig.
rebecca is a heart throb
+Dan Hahn Oh, She is my secret love! She "pleases" me so much with her incredible smile and big "eyes". ;)
+Chio Chan Genocide sure, i will not
She’s awesome.
back off she's mine
Guthrie makes me laugh everytime i watch his videos. He's funny guy haha
Great video
Grandma Mary
I'm very pleased to have Guthrie's English accent and humorous and practical take on the guitar rig here on Premier Guitar.
Bryan at 9:35 checking the chick out :D
😂😂😂
Kfkdks man he stared like 4 minutes 🤣
as long as his equipment keeps "Pleasing him"...the world shall keep turning freely
groovy man!
Guthrie ist so nice and chilled, what a great guy and musician, too!
Love Rig Rundown and love Rebecca!
2:52 Guthrie plays RATM...
Josh Evans it's not like he busted out JOHNNY thunders or something. just a boring ratm song
well he did cover Bulls on Parade with Dizzie Rascal
10:30 Bryan is checkin out Rebecca in the background
HAHAHA Nice catch.
No he just hit the mic with his peace sign :P
Very cool rig !!
What a nice man. No attitude, comes across as a super nice guy AND is an amazing guitarist.
"It's throaty.. It's fat.... It pleases me"
RyanIsARecluse he wants a fat covered throat
got a little too personal, didn't he?
My girlfreind.
THE BEST KIND OF THROAT BOYS HERRherherherheherTREHIEEIEHEIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHERREREEEEEEEEEER
"But enough of the Koko Boost, lets move on to my other devices"
'Joyous things to behold'! - luv this guy!
"They are joyous things to behold" Talking about his fretts. I love this guy!
6:09 "...let us move on to my other DEVICES" haha
The best players have the smallest, sloppiest looking pedal boards...because they're focused on actually playing the guitar.
Good interview
Love that humbleness of Guthrie 🤘 nice rig also
If i were to see this guy walking down S Congress in Austin, Tx, that is not the voice I'd expect. Lol.
His face at 9:28 is like 'duck my life'
i like guthrie s sound and playing, thanks for good rundown
i love this guys voice
Roasted maple before when roasted maple was cool
3:09.... capcom?
watch?v=7GJ3dCE2wIA
GG, humble and articulate as always.
Guthrie is one of the greatest but definitely the most friendly, I love this man !
She makes him so nervous he starts playing with his hair
8:23 "Sounds expensive" xD
Nice interview
3:30 Best description ever of frets: "They are joyous things to behold".
To come up with that on the spot following the interviewer's remark ("they're nicely shined up there") underlines Guthrie's mastership of improvisation. It's all about question and answer!
That's just the way he speaks, hahah
2:17 lol were those guthrie's zig zags??? XD
"It's throaty, it's fat, it pleases me." If you know what I mean.
Loving how both the top comments are just quotes of Guthrie, the sickest man alive and one of the best guitarist's out there right now in my opinion
This video.
It pleases me.
daym that chick... i don't even care about guthrie's rig anymore
All in the hands. I'd sound like dog shit with his rig.
Yup.
Absolutely... Yet he can can sound like anyone he wants to and it kills me that he can be that good.
That KokoBoost is the shit! I really like Rundowns where guitarists actually play and show what each thing does to the sound.
3:10 capcom title
''I didn't think i'd end up using this, but It's Throaty, it's Fat, it pleases me!'' That's Exactly how I feel about my Girlfriend Guthrie!
As if you have a girlfriend.
@@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888 I do, because I'm not a bald headed sack of crap that plays a Gretch......Horribly. I have heard cats puking up a hairball and that was more musical than your rubbish playing.
@@ZombieOrchestra goddamn man you annihilated him
@@melbro7379 I went kind of hard, but he shot his yapper off. He took down his videos and curled up in the fetal position for a good cry.
best interviewer, best guitarist
good times!
I shoulda been at that show. I'm gonna go cry in my beer now.
BB, MM & GG! Tour again soon!
"eggfrying" lol
"It's throaty... it's fat... it pleases me" sounds like BJ description to me.
This was uploaded on my bday... Awesome.
What cool guy, and awesome guitarist.
Could he have chosen a more British alternative to a pedalboard? Oh Guthrie.
Clearly he got flustered in front of this sexy chick, started thinking about sex and became very typically English in overly sarcastic way.
haha yeah I noticed that too.
Guthrie comes off as a mad scientist of guitars to me...he has this wild look in his eyes and his use of words. Like he is an intelligent mad man.
Good work guys, stuff like this makes a very happy man :)
Adequate amounts of meat. Quite.
which rolling papers do you use?
rizla+ hahaah
He uses Zig Zag. I happen to know this because I caught him outside of a tiny club in Omaha before The Aristocrats played. He was rolling English tobacco that I didn't recognize, but using Zig Zag papers.
lovely Rebecca
Ive wanted this so bad! I love GG!
so sad that guthrie believes in tonewood other than that hes a beast
If you actually do frequency tests you'll see that different tonewoods resonate differently....
not on electric instruments i have made test s indeed. im a guitar builder myself (7 years of) and i can tell you if is in a solid body remember every wood (not matter the species) are curated, baked and put in different... if we are talking about Hollow, Semi Hollow or Acoustic is another case because they react to dynamics
What about chambered?
Proto Razor
What kind of guitar builder are you? Build a guitar out of maple and then build one with the exact same specs, but made out of mahogany.,....... if you can't hear the difference, you shouldn't be "building" guitars. And what were your tests?
People really need to know the difference on electric instruments to acoustic ones for real.... and i have no chambered test but i would tell is close to a hollow guitar it could change a little bit the tone but noting noticeable that for sure
