This is why you need an interviewer that actually understands that he's speaking to one of the greatest guitarists of all time. This guy couldn't be more uninspired
@@bencollins82 Just because he doesn't share the mainstream stage with other well known greats doesn't meant he isn't one. There's no guitar player that I've ever seen that can do half of what he is able to do. You clearly don't know the guitar world.
@@jalewa I was talking about the "interviewer", ya knob 🤣🤣 I've been playing for 15 years and only recently discovered Guthrie and I realised I know fuck all about guitar. Anyone can monkey, see monkey play but to be able to make the music he does is a lifetime of dedication
Not only is Guthrie a gifted player, he can communicate his learnings so efficiently, that if you’re wiling to listen and out the time in. Your skills will multiply. There really is no other like him
Genius perhaps. Or a guy that can find efficient ways to use a tool. No disrespect to him Havent u ever met someone thats above and beyond more efficient at something that uses a tool+ their hands+dexterity+1000s of hours of practice?
I'd say he's like the definitive highschool freak-of-nature. He's so relaxed and just doesn't seem to give a hoot, and usually that comes out in your playing. Especially when you study the instrument as much as this guy does, I dont think I've ever seen a photo of guthrie not either: a) reaching for his guitar, b) holding a guitar, or c) talking about guitar/music, so that will help. Practice makes perfect.
That's a very explored right hand struck amongst nylon guitar players in more "aggressive" or fast-paced music, like in flamenco, some classical music, and styles derived from Iberian music, in South America. This is very common is some fast-paced Milonga variants. Also performed by many steel strings players. That looked very much Trace Bundy.
Right...just tried it lol. Can do it OK with a card (not as fast as him tho), but on the strings it doesn't translate. Firstly, It's a wider range for the sweep when actually playing that just knocking a card between your fingers. Second, theres actual resistance when strumming that isnt there just slapping something back n forth...so the pick just ends up getting hung up between strings
I think he has forgotten to say that you should able to count every stroke. Otherwise, you will be playing out of beat. Being able to count your strokes means your picking hand is still under your control.
@@peterkung6793there’s no way you counting every stroke while playing that. Idk how long you’ve been playing but you’re more sectioning out the licks, kinda like syllables in a word. You’d count to like 32 in like 3 seconds if he was counting all them strokes going that fast. You should be able to hear a tapestry in your head as you play and hear the drum kicks to keep letting you know that you’re not off beat.
@@AntiMason I don't quite understand what you mean, however what I mean is if each beat has 4 notes, you will be counting 1,2,3,4. Then repeat 1,2,3,4 and so on. If each beat has 6 notes, then count 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then repeat 1,2,3,4,5,6. And so no. When speed up very fast, you may not be able to count all the numbers, but you must still be able the count the no.1 at the right time. If not, the playing is definitely out of beat.
@@yeeyee2018tim henson is a BEAST and still young (well if he doesnt take drugs or smoke or drink, he will definitely become the best of the best after some years, maybe decades), but i think players like guthrie govan and shawn lane were better than current tim henson
@@metalguitaridk drugs is a big generalization. As long as he stays away from the hard stuff, he’ll be fine. Very many guitarists have dabbled and still do dabble in psychedelics. Tim Henson and Guthrie Govan being some of them. It’s the addictive substance that are evil. Mushrooms and LSD are quite mellow, and not addictive. So I agree with you to an extent, but I don’t think anybody is as good as Tim Henson. A lot of govan’s single work is good, but it doesn’t have those catchy henson Melodies like polyphia. I believe Tim Henson is the current best, but of course that’s just my opinion. All of the greatest players are generally on the same level, and can make their instruments speak.

@@psychonautpupildiallater7734 He's just speeder than the most😄, you want to listen to "funk", listen to Nile Rodgers etc. Guthrie is nothing👍🏻 , just a fast wizard able to enchant other people, mostly guitar lerners...
@@RSpracticalshooting but its not just rhythm, its the percussive sound of the fast picking. its like the difference on string bass between slower arco parts and more flashy slap pizz parts
hes probably, at least in his prime, the best guitarist (electric guitar) on earth. whether or not you like his style, his knowledge and proficiency is unparalleled.
Dude blows my mind... spent a week with him and Paul Gilbert in New York and watching him just noodle around made me rethink playing guitar at all😅😅 Super cool guy too!
The best teachers are the ones who learn the hard way! Listen and play by ear, go watch other local bands, steeling picks from other great players in order to absorb their skills and playing along to your fav CD’s while using the same pick you stole and sometimes drop tuning when callus gets bad or when you throw a jam out party and don’t want to sound like you can’t strike a clean chord. So in order to train the beginner, we must “be” the beginner.
Most people will say, 'he makes it look so easy' or 'its easier said than done' well yes n no , the movements are easy to do it's a body motion every one can do, people with particular disabilities may have to adapt/customise according to their personal physical disadvantages(some may possibly have a advantage) I'm also aware there may be some who do not have the physical capability, the bit that requires practice is getting to the point we're muscle memory, pay close attention to the correct positioning,the amount of pressure to use in both hands, and the habit of spatial awareness between strings, this all will develop, as long as your willing to & have the patience , self belief & know ,nothing that's worth doing or any new skill you want to learn is Gona be mastered in a day , a week or even a mth. But pay close attention to anything your learning getting easier or any break thrus (no matter how small) and be proud of them , let them motivate you into pushing further, I recommend downloading a mthly subscription app or hire a teacher, you tube vids for the most part don't help or very rarely do, vids like this are rare , they usually leave you with more questions or leave you open mouthed ,thinkin right so how the hell do I do that and or you can't see their hands properly OR it's too fast
From the standpoint of pure technical skill and musicality, he is the best that has ever lived...IMHO. He has mastered every genre, every technique and the style of every guitarist with a significant body of work. Guthrie's talent is just mind-blowing.
I love guitarists like Guthrie and Vai, when they demonstrate something and then trail off on another lead line before going "Oh shit that's right, the talking stuff"
He is the greatest at explaining things. Always so fun to hear. It’s like Top Gear, when Clarkson & co talks about cars etc, it’s fun and engaging to listen to. I feel the same way about Guthrie and guitar. And I’ve played guitar for 30 years lol
I'm slowly creeping up on this level of picking.. like a ninja!! One day I won't be able to do it and then the next day, BOOM!! I will be smashing it like a pro!!! 😊

I've been playing for almost 30yrs and that might be one of the best tips to improve picking hand speed that I've ever heard.
Not only is Guthrie a gifted player, he can communicate his learnings so efficiently, that if you’re wiling to listen and out the time in. Your skills will multiply. There really is no other like him
Guthrie isn't a freak. He is a genius that can find efficient ways to play complicated things.

"yeah okay" "yeh" "uh huh" "oh" "aah uh huh" "mm" "uh huh" "eh heh" "mmmm" "mm is it" literally he said
Sounds like he’s on the phone with his mum
Idk who needs to hear this.
But when he first started playing the guitar, literally nobody wanted a blown up portrait of his fretting hand.
How geniuses of their craft explain the path to success, the truly gifted always want you to succeed!!

forget the theory! that simple practicle example explains to me the movement & ergonomic body positioning needed for clean speed picking. thankyou.

Brilliant 👏
i think i've got it now. thanks for making it so easy! 🤯
This is absolutely amazing❤
oh well, I can do that pretty fast too but that's only half of it. You still have to play the correct rhythm and hit the right notes / strings at the right time, THIS is the HARD part about it!
I love that Jesus came back from the dead to teach us better guitar skills he didn't die in vain
I can do the up down really fast, it’s the hitting the right strings in the correct way that I’ve never been able to grasp.
Great video though 👏🏼
