I like when players are less known and play on smaller stages like this- more intimate. At the same time I'm really happy Guthrie Govan has gotten to work with Steven Wilson and now Hans Zimmer and is getting to play at the big stages. Not as big as metallica, but big. Working on Hans Zimmer movies he is also reaching millions without them even knowing it. In my mind he is worth that and a whole lot more. His playing and feel are simply remarkable.
i didn't realize ther was fifty people like...in his face until the camera view swung around............but he's like...got people IN his face....and those people probably didn't even give a second thought to leaving this demonstration.........'cause......guthrie is just........simply amazing.
but one thing I agree is that on his live performances he tends to shred more than what I'd like to hear from him, tends to overplay like in this video.should really listen to the album versions if you havent. imho to me it's one of the most brilliant guitar instrumental albums in terms of songwriting alone
es increíble como hace ese cambio de ritmo en 1:07 este tipo esta mas alla de todos los guitarristas que escuche en mi vida. un real virtuoso, esta llevando a este instrumento a niveles que la verdad son increíbles.
I really like the relative simplicity of the verses as opposed to the wacky tapping melody of the solo. The contrast makes the chorus stand out so much more
This is an amazing tune and so good to hear all the lead guitar parts properly. On the record the solos are mixed quite low, maybe,.... dare I say it - too low?
@sportsportsport Mozart was also accused for almost the exact same thing. Emperor Joseph IIs reaction to Mozarts The Abduction from the Seraglio in 1782 was amusing: Too many notes, my dear Mozart, and too beautiful for our ears. At least he understod that he didn't understand...
Want to know the guy who makes Guthrie go: "Wow who the hell is that?" Shawn Lane. Nothing can beats Shawn's fast-twitch genetics and intelligence. Oh and he played the keyboard just as fast as his guitar and with just as complex phrasing and arrangements. No-one to this day has had Shawn's gift of god fingers.
I think they're both equally good. But you do have a point Shawn lane is one of the best guitarist of all time and no one really knows who he is. It's a shame.
Everyone knows who he is because people can't prevent themselves from making the comparison, endlessly. There needs to be a Godwin's Law equivalent of dropping Shawn Lane's name, ffs
I don't really see the need for these out-of-the-blue Shawn Lane praise posts in totally unrelated videos. More often than not, they work against their intended purpose, and people get sick of hearing about Lane.
@freakoutguitarsolo1 no he even said in the 8th session of licklibrary that he isnt a big fan of exercises, just practicing playing what sounds good at a speed you can play
There was a time when I wanted to be a virtuoso guitar player like Guhtrie, until I realized this kinda thing only attracks other dudes. Now I'm vocalist in an alternative rock band. I have my priorities! :P Guthrie rules !
Musically I doubt his mindless finger jabbing could be compared to such a lavish sound sculptor. Mozart once said, "music is melody and melody is music" ......
Only GG could go up on the on the TC Electronics stand where he could have any kind of reverb or delay imaginable...and then play completely and utterly dry as a bone. LOL
@Ronixis i'd buy one! obvious fact guthrie is way too damn good he makes mere mortals like myself wanna get better and sometimes makes me just wanna quit haha
@DazReht Nah man, he goes home and decides to live a hermit's lifestyle and practice all day erry day to get as good as Guthrie Govan, his ultimate hero.
true but guthrie takes established ideas and puts them together.its still a collection of techniques and styles blended together in an aesthetic that is Guthrie. we can tell when hes playing blues jazz metal rock ect. he weaves in and out of those styles masterfully.holdsworth on the other hand is a complete original. hes made his own style from 1st principles.his music is more complex than Guthries and although his legeto is a one trick pony he has a much vaster musical vision
The guy at 1:12 bends down to see if that beast on the guitar is human or not. And when he realizes he is indeed human, he inevitably retreats to his personal quarters to sell his guitars and amp on ebay.
This guy is seriously on a whole other level
Undoubtedly.
Hes so incredible at guitar and humble at the same time. I have a lot of respect for him
Just unbelievable. Surely there is no one better

Guthrie's the Holy Trinity of guitar players...he brings the best practices of all players into 1 concise format
0:50 That tapping was cleaner than a presidential bathroom
World is a better place with people like him around
This brilliant song is a masterclass in awesome guitar playing. Guthrie is one of the best guitarists of all time in my book. :)
*kidnaps Guthrie and ties him in the basement until he tells me all his guitar secrets*
This is Absolutely amazing,Guthrie Govan is the Best!greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾👍🤘🤘👍🇲🇾🇲🇾
I want to thank TC-Electronic for uploading videos of him, I had never heard of him before they uploaded Fives! Thanks TC! You rock!
Guthrie bringing the awesome once again, never dissapointed by this guy
No one touches this guy!! Incredible!!
i didn't realize ther was fifty people like...in his face until the camera view swung around............but he's like...got people IN his face....and those people probably didn't even give a second thought to leaving this demonstration.........'cause......guthrie is just........simply amazing.
The guitar isnt plugged in, he does it all with his mouth and one of those little clip on microphones
Did you mean anything you actually said?
@@ashishvivian2224 why are you responding to a bad joke from 8 years ago?
😂😂😂😂
Cant stop watching guthrie vids
This guy is fucking amazing. So many styles in one package.
Guy at 1:10 is like, WTF is this shit?!? Wait, a human is doing this? Welp...guess i'll be selling all my gear and going back to law school.
DazReht that transition is smooth af
I like the expression when he plays it in licklibrary. After all this he roars ``YEAH`` and that is great
@Jinskee I completely agree, I have huge amounts of love for Guthrie, such an inspiration.
1:07 onward. We are all now amongst the stars.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, you too can play like this , if you practice for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year....for at least 434 years.
i love this song.
Man Guthrie is so damn good !
the best performance of sevens, ever.
1:02 1:30 3:12 3:19
just seen him play this in my town a few hours ago :D absolutely phenomenal player!
but one thing I agree is that on his live performances he tends to shred more than what I'd like to hear from him, tends to overplay like in this video.should really listen to the album versions if you havent. imho to me it's one of the most brilliant guitar instrumental albums in terms of songwriting alone
i love u Guthrie^^
es increíble como hace ese cambio de ritmo en 1:07 este tipo esta mas alla de todos los guitarristas que escuche en mi vida. un real virtuoso, esta llevando a este instrumento a niveles que la verdad son increíbles.
The best I've ever witnessed
wao this guy has music in his end and what a music this is so complexe, a genius, shawn lane caliber(les technic but as musical as shawn) for sure
Amazing
His legato licks rocks!
I really like the relative simplicity of the verses as opposed to the wacky tapping melody of the solo. The contrast makes the chorus stand out so much more
GUTHRIES SHIRT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Sounds great !
AMAZING!!!
Guts is so fun to watch
Incredible :0
And all that was to demo a tuner. what an overkill hahaha #Legend
All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
unreal, ive met guthrie in manchester at a masterclass hes the nicest guy, plus hes even better than you think he is
This is an amazing tune and so good to hear all the lead guitar parts properly. On the record the solos are mixed quite low, maybe,.... dare I say it - too low?
awesome guitar geekness at it's best!
The best one to do it for me
best guitarplayer of actuality.
i'm sure TC electronic was the most visited stand visited that moment
Guthrie-Guitar God.
INSANE

dla mnie zawsze zajebiste
I SOOOO agree with U, they should forbid people from commenting ANY video,,,,people should just enjoy the music or zap to the next page,,,,

that means guthrie govan is really that good if you're bringing the name of shawn lane here
I don't really see the need for these out-of-the-blue Shawn Lane praise posts in totally unrelated videos. More often than not, they work against their intended purpose, and people get sick of hearing about Lane.
YngtchieMusic I agree. but at the same time what he posted is true lol
I'm waiting for the unplugged album. LOL!!
He's my new GOD!
I hope Guthrie is endorsed by a hair tie company. I'm waiting for him to release a line of Signature Guthrie Govan hair ties :)
omg thats simply fucking epic!
@koleola you're right......he has a band he plays with too...he's awesome thoght no matter what.
@freakoutguitarsolo1 no he even said in the 8th session of licklibrary that he isnt a big fan of exercises, just practicing playing what sounds good at a speed you can play
love the look of desperation on those guys watching lol
You made me laugh buddy.Thank god nobody was standing in front of the guy in white:) Lmao!!.
How did he catch that at 1:08? 🤯🤯
This guy really should play with his band at larger audiences.
2:20 THAT IS SOME FUCKING LOW ACTION.
yeaa !5*****stars
@m2885the4th
holy shit that was funny thnx for pointing that one out man.
It's just hit me, it's Ian Andersons grandson (Jethro Tull)
Why wasn't this ever on guitar hero?.....my mind is blown
“I had my technique mastered by the time I was 16” -Guthrie
Not to be that guy but that was Shawn Lane
There was a time when I wanted to be a virtuoso guitar player like Guhtrie, until I realized this kinda thing only attracks other dudes. Now I'm vocalist in an alternative rock band. I have my priorities! :P
Guthrie rules !
Musically I doubt his mindless finger jabbing could be compared to such a lavish sound sculptor. Mozart once said, "music is melody and melody is music" ......
maybe i just thavent been listening to people like this enuogh, but this is the first time ive seen someone use a capo on an electric
Only GG could go up on the on the TC Electronics stand where he could have any kind of reverb or delay imaginable...and then play completely and utterly dry as a bone. LOL
@Ronixis i'd buy one! obvious fact guthrie is way too damn good he makes mere mortals like myself wanna get better and sometimes makes me just wanna quit haha
he reminds me so much about Mike Orlando
@pumpkinheadjrb That isnt a capo - Its a hair band that he uses to dampen the strings and stop open strings ringing
Allucinant !!! hope i'll be too intelligent one day :)
No one else but me noticed that he's wearing a pacman shirt? ... Damn he's awesome.
god is retiring soon, guthrie is going to take over
Around 3 minutes in he is doing a KISS "Parasite" fucking homage!
Best part : 0:00 to 6:07.
I love how he solo-ed over the bass solo. And I'm a bass player. HAH.
the dude at 1:10 had to take a look when Guthrie started the beautiful tapping =)
Hi I'm Guthrie Govan, and I betcha can't play this.
@DazReht Nah man, he goes home and decides to live a hermit's lifestyle and practice all day erry day to get as good as Guthrie Govan, his ultimate hero.
Nice T-shirt :)
Nice T-Shirt...
@bdybrns20 ok so what your saying is you don't dig jazz fusion. Nothing wrong with that, but its the style in which he writes.
true but guthrie takes established ideas and puts them together.its still a collection of techniques and styles blended together in an aesthetic that is Guthrie. we can tell when hes playing blues jazz metal rock ect. he weaves in and out of those styles masterfully.holdsworth on the other hand is a complete original. hes made his own style from 1st principles.his music is more complex than Guthries and although his legeto is a one trick pony he has a much vaster musical vision
Lol love the Pac Man shirt!
@bdybrns20 I find this good...his album is fantastic.
I think Guthrie gave the dislikes...he's so modest!
@freakoutguitarsolo1 lol, 11 years here. but yeah...same wish as you!
@stevo946 AHAHAHA thats so awesome, it just slides back down the neck, and lets guthrie continue :D.
He should have entered 20 yrs ago coz Greg Howe Plays like this right now
many can play guitar but not many can play live better than studio version.. Guthrie can
@Ronixis
i'm sure he'll use them as dampeners
@stevegrierson xaxax yes man !!!!!!
The guy at 1:12 bends down to see if that beast on the guitar is human or not. And when he realizes he is indeed human, he inevitably retreats to his personal quarters to sell his guitars and amp on ebay.
His guitar is so sexy.
