- I really liked Guthrie's improvisation on this track. It really shows how musically talented he is and how versatile he can play.

We can all noodle. But this guy sounds like he wrote a song the second his hands touched the neck. Incredible.
I noodle.Guthrie noodles,sushi’s, katsus and does a Asian/Eskimo/Mongolian/British fusion starter menu
Well said. Because he still appreciates chords. You can't noodle with purpose if you don't know the chords that make your noodle.
@@petermontgomery8707 I can’t even pot’n noodle!
…..someone want to explain what noodling is😂😂
study jazz, imagine this but for an entire genre
Guthrie's phrasing is only matched by his mastery of the English language!! beautifully unbelievable ...
Man, he's something else. He improvs cleaner than most people can record with multiple takes and an extremely practiced solo. It's absurd how amazing Guthrie is. 👏
Guthrie is simply a God on guitar. Imagine sitting next to this dude and playing 3 chords for Him to improvise over? This dude is off the scale, pun intended.
He’s amazing. But he’s also very much made out to be something he isn’t by a lot. He clearly messed up a little in this video. Hit a couple few notes that didn’t lead him to where he wanted so he was looking for a way to make it work which stuck out. He’s just like any other human, flawed. He is not perfect. He has his good days and bad days. He knows the neck well and his intellect certain helps him “speak” music fluently. In classic music there’s a lot of musicians like him because they’re simply classically trained. But no one calls them gods.
As you say classical guitarist are classiquely trained, to excelle in classical.
What makes Guthrie amazing tho is his ability to be not only efficient and highly technical, but, also very creative, in a large variety of fields.
And now his work with Zimmer and the film industry makes him more polyvalent by shaping ambiants and sound design.
Bloodclot, I am not that impressed, I played better than that when I was 15 years old
@@MoonWalkerTexsRanger Bumbaclot, I am not that impressed, I played better than that when I was 15 years old
@@chrisking6695 I highly doubt that there are many classicaly trained musicians with improvisational skills as Guthrie's. That is just not what is needed in classical music.(In the performance of classical music I should say.)
Guthrie is literally the only “virtuoso” I can listen to without getting bored.
Buckethead isn't bad either
@@mrt445 in comparison, he is
Tommy Emanuel?
Listen to Alex Hutchings 🎸
@@matthope3392 craziest thing is, you're right. Imagine being so good Buckethead is bad compared to youl. Lol
When Guthrie switches to the bridge pickup; then he touched my heart and soul. Simply unbelievable guitarist!
He totally knew that would be the case, too. Like buttah!
Guthrie's been my favorite ever since I found him right here on UA-cam in around 2009 .. a true wizard.
Words can't describe how magical his playing is...
@@TheRealCowlick nope
@@TheRealCowlick but numbers can. 9000+
Looks like a wizard too!
@@cmhardin37 What do you mean, nope?
1:00 that sound 😭
after 1 year it's still so goddamn impressive.
@@aknkavukoglu1091 i absolutely agree. how many times have you listen to this? lmao.
Too many times. I'm still listening
@@aknkavukoglu1091just pinging u a reminder to listen again ;)
Is this man the best player who ever lived? He is flawless.
Yes (in my opinion) before the opinion police come knocking 🥸🌝
his only flaw is not being my guitar teacher
Most people dont realize that guthrie is not only a monster lead player but he has also a massive chord knowledge and utilizes them in his solos by ear..
for me its duane allman and guthrie govan as the top tier of all time guitarists
At 1:35 you can see that after the second harmonic, his hand is trying to find what else to do. In less than 1 second he came up with the best ending you could have thought of in months. This guy is out of this world.
Ridiculous improv
let's not oversell the chromatic chord
@@DaveDexterMusic haha yeah, honestly a jazz cliche is not "the best ending you could have though in months". But it is a quircky ending, i liked it.
That's probably the least impressive part of this entire video lmao
It was the worst part of the whole thing and ended on the wrong chord.
It's almost embarrassing how good he is.
It's scary how much this guy knows about his fretboard, the guy is a pure genious, holy shit, so much ideas in just one minute and forty. This guy is a legend on guitar, holy guacamoles!!!!!!!!
The dude just always smashes it, more ideas & tasty licks in less than 2 minute than most of us every come up with!
He has such a repertoire of technique and a mastery of riff vocabulary.
He is insanely good. Fun fact, when I first bought my fender squire strat as a kid... it came with a vhs tape where he was teaching the basic chords. I still actually remember the little patterns and noodles he taught on it.
Is this VHS somewhere in youtube?
@@luisrocha26 I've actually looked on the net to find it with no luck. Would love to see it again though... I feel like it'd bring back memories I'd forgotten I had. 😋
@@mrcherrytits What year was this video shot?
@@user-jq4xb5qp5s I bought my first guitar in the year 2000 and that was the video that came with the guitar and amp. So it was maybe shot in or around the year before that. I'd love to see it again!
the best guitsrist ever walked on earth
Videos like this make me fondly remember how great it was to be at the height of the UA-cam guitar community. LickLibrary, JamTrackCentral, AndertonsTV, just a few from the laundry list of awesome channels that allowed and encouraged us to all come together, soak in and be pushed forward by so many individual and combined examples of guitar passion and mastery.
I can't describe what I feel when I see/listen to Guthrie Govan's playing... Brilliant... He's one of my favourites!
For me, he is the greatest of all time by faaaar !
He is the definition of the musician, he just doesn't care about anything, he can play any style with anyone !
On UA-cam, you can find videos of him playing Metal with Petrucci, Tosin Abasi and Andy James, playing Jazz Fusion with a young future all time great drummer Senri Kawaguchi, playing with Hans Zimmer in a total different style, playing with Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, playing country in a bar in total ananymous, playing Bebop, Rock, Blues, Pop etc...
He is so humble and funny, the guy is good that he can make a crowd laugh with his guitar.
Learn English.
@@tinkywinky4449 いたい。
Agreed. Guthrie is an absolute phenom. I don't like every genre, but if Guthrie is contributing I'll enjoy it. He has an incredible musicality that he can deliver off the cuff. It's so cool.
@@tinkywinky4449 not cool bro.
Let's play find the asshole
1:16 THE L I C C
Disguised well enough too unlike most of the time this is played. Utter genius ! ❤
He’s so complete, one of if not the most versatile guitarist alive today. Love Guthrie
GG is a total BEAST and a really nice guy. Met him in person a few years a go. But he smokes like crazy...!
Improvising shows the real skill, and Guthrie is the best of that.
He speaks music 🎼 it’s just mesmerizing the phrasing, timing, dynamics, groove…He is a guitar god
I was thinking about this the other day - music is a language. It's always evolving and we're always learning. Some people are fluent but the range of the vocabulary differs - then you have the rarities such as GG - he's not only fluent, knows all 'the words', but also makes up new stuff as he goes along as that describes what he's thinking better than any existing word or phrase - if Shakespeare played the guitar...
Props to Lee for this. If I had the greatest guitar living on the entire freaking planet sitting 2 feet in front me jamming with me I dont think I could hold it together
Yep, all that time spent jamming with Danish Pete really improved Lee's playing. His accompaniment here provides both a solid foundation for Guthrie and its own melodic interest.
@@richardharrold9736this was recorded when he was still very much a novice. He is struggling to keep time here, he's come on a long way since.
Guthrie can improvise something fresh, tasteful and surprising over just about anything. From fast bebop jazz changes, to metal, to country, to incredible soulful blues, funk and reggae rhythms, awesome rock solos and riffs or just a few chords and he even makes the guitar emulate over instruments. The guy is unreal
The little sequence at 1:02 is so beautiful
Also the fact he switched pickup (mid-phrase) meaning he knew in advance that the next lick needs the bridge sound🤯
Serious. A double stop bend that clean.
dude, you can listen this on repeat forever...
Man this guy got my teardroping everytime he play that note. Somehow i could feel that
Its ridiculous. Hes so good. I used to buy guitar techniques magazine in the 90s ,Guthrie had a slot every month in the magazine and on the cd teaching tunes. I remember he transcribed Al Di Meola tunes and Steve Vai Eugene's trick bag.
The legendary Captain and some up-and-coming rookie. So nice of Lee to give the spotlight to new talents now and then.
@1:06, he gets a solid "R" sound in that slide. Really amazing how he can add flavor like that.
That blew my mind a little.
I can't remember a time in my life anymore where I haven't played guitar, and so there is rarely any 'technique' a guitarist can play that I haven't at least once heard before and made my eyes go wide, until I heard the bend at 1:01 what a treat
Is that like two strings bend at the same time?
@@slazinger its gotta be but i cant replicate it no matter how hard i try
Well said. I literally had the exact same thought.
I think it’s just really really good vibrato between two semi tones.
I noticed he almost played The Lick like three times... and then I realized that's a motif he was coming back to in various places, which is one of the reasons it sounds like a song and not like random noodling
I saw him profiled as an amateur guitarist in a magazine (GFTPM) when I was 16. I think he’s the only one featured in those mags that eventually surpassed the guys on the cover.
Im currently mesmerised by the likes of Polyphia, Intervals.. you know, the next gen. Its all amazing, but that one is just built different.
All great stuff man! Keep grooving!
Isnt Guthrie somewhat the next gen too?
Guthrie is still this gen in my books!
@@hiraprxc.7141 I'd say he's the culmination of everything in the past done right. He is our generation, yet he transcends beyond the next generation. He could sure do everything Tim or Plini could, and as amazing as they are, they will not be as versatile as he is, and the reason why I say that is, he's someone I'd like to think is a jack of all trades, master of all, and I'm really not over estimating him at all. I remember when fretless guitars came out, and he'd be on the list of people who mastered it quite quickly. He's like the Ditto of all Pokemon, if that particular Ditto was a legendary. That's the best way to put it I believe.
@@prof_jesus Agreed, His musical vocabulary is just inhumane, he Improvises better than some composed stuff, Truly a maestro of his craft
i really like this improv. i know that's probably jazz but i don't know how to find bands in this style. i'm addicted to this video and need more stuff like that
Try listening to Beyond the Missouri Sky by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny
The best improviser I’ve ever seen.
1:00 damn.
Another thing I noticed on my 35th replay of this is his incredible use of dynamics. It's something that's so overlooked in today's music but really adds to the depth and expression of what you're playing.
I doubt there's anyone on the planet that can be that creative without practice...the guy is absolutely gifted!
Damn, Guthrie never fails to surprise me, his ideas are through the roof, he always bring something new when you think you've seen everything about him. I can't wait for the new album, wish I can attend the aristocamp
I have been a guitarist for a very long time.. I guess I am about average for the time I have played, maybe a bit above that but not much. But I have followed all the so called greats and yes there have been some and a few who have flattered to deceive. Guthrie can shred with anyone and is one of the best along with Matteo Mancuso who can is equally adept. It all gets a bit "yeah ok I have heard you now, and I am getting a bit bored" But moments like the above show so much more feeling, soul, depth, call it what you will but it's very moving and you just know it's adlib stream of thought stuff.. It wouldn't be the same repeated and recorded. Hard to describe what all that is about but the listener and the player are sharing that virgin moment.. musician and listener are intertwined, both may be creating that moment as it unfolds. Thank you Guthrie, thank you.
everyone's going crazy about 1:02 but I'm honestly most impressed by the first 40 seconds or so
Same, the opening choice was just incredible. Who else would have thought to start there.
This guy never runs out of ideas while improvising but every phrase is so well articulated and keeps me listening, wanting more. Guthrie is an absolute gem.
Got to see him on tour with Steven Wilson years ago before I knew who he was. I recall hearing the first solo he played that night and thinking, wow this guy is seriously good.
It’s always enjoyable to listen a guitarist that makes music.
I'm always in awe of Guthrie's massive techniques but most of all, I'm in awe of his phrasing when soloing.
I LOVE the "mellow" jazz sound he gets on the guitar. Guthrie is simply AWESOME.
Always creative. Never stale.
I remember watching a vid on UA-cam wayback, it was Guthrie n Bumblefoot jamming. Probably the only guy who could keep up with Guthrie
My man can play in any style. Awesome!!! Thank you again.
Such a gifted man. No words can describe the incredible talent of this man.
Clearly a Master. Can play with with anyone or thing I believe he can do a lot more then even we've seen him do...
Guthrie is amongst a handful of guitarists who cause me to routinely rewind and or slow down the song to figure out what this man just played. And then u find out it was improvised..... truly a legend.
BEST GUITARIST EVER!!!
Man how does he put it all together like that. Truly a wizard of the instrument.
0:24 I love lee's little moment. "WTF are you doing? i'm trying to concentrate'.
Unparalleled phrasing. Every lick was so tasteful
It's wonderfully mesmerising
He breaths music. He does not even have to think about it. He feels it all!!
Unbelievable! !
Insane.
Guthrie (has never played the same thing twice) Govan
The man is just the greatest improviser, he just has such a command of so many techniques, styles, ear and melody that he can just play anything
Man’s a freak and an absolute monster guitarist and musician
The amount of practice this guy has put in and tunes he's learned is probably incomprehensible!!!
Everytime you see Guthrie play, you witness greatness
Good enough to follow the Captain
He's literally the greatest modern guitarist of all time
Most underrated guitarist jeez
That last lick in the end is off the roof! Dang!
that last sliding chord..wasn't expecting that.
One of my all-time favorite guitarists!
that might be the best guitar playing i have ever heard. He's a musical genius.
Govan for president now ... !!!
I'm more than qualified to have an opinion here ... Guthrie is just so COMPLETE. He is a true chameleon. Always inspiring.
That bend on 1:02 is just MAGICALLY OTHERWORLDLY OMGGGG
The best to ever do it
Rumour has it Costa Coffee made record sales for months after this video was created
many smooth jazz licks and technics
0:50 is just unbelievable.
Guthrie = 🔥XCELLANT 🔥
Can't believe Guthrie only made 2 solo albums, I wanted more
Wait; he's got another solo album besides Erotic Cakes??
@@luisrocha26 west coast grooves.
I don't really consider West Coast Grooves a Guthrie "Solo" Album. That's only because James Graydon wrote all the jam tracks and Guthrie just laid his amazing solos over it.
@@Caesar. yeah. It was awesome, but if I wanted to hear Guthrie improvise (which is absolutely mesmerising, don't get me wrong) I would have went to a show. I wanted to hear more of his composition skills like in Erotic Cakes. But oh well, that's life
@@wagnersanchez4167 didn't know that. But it always sounded like the backing tracks weren't very Guthrie Govan-y
Got to see him play at Berklee Music Hall back in 2009. Pretty cerebral.
Guthries noodling never bores me.
absolutely soulful ! guthrie amazes every time and great rhythm guitar too!!!
He's so incredible!
the definition of expertise AND style
On the right is a REALLY GENIUS! SHELDON COOPER OF THE SIT "BIG BANG THEORY" 😄
Guthrie is so extremely talented it's almost hard to believe, even when you see it.
Amazing, and the way he follows The Captain! (I know it's not easy to play the accompaniment to a virtuoso, so props to Lee, too)
Good grief, that bend when he switches to the bridge pick up. Phenomenal.
The entire video is amazing, as Guthrie always is. However there's a moment in this that truly showcases his ridiculous ability to listen to what others are playing and effortlessly weave it into his playing. At 0:18 the rhythm player adds a little chromatic slide, you can see Guthrie visually react to this like "oh i didn't expect to hear that", he pauses for a milisecond and at 0:20 plays off that little nugget and turns it into beautiful ascending inversions turning that tiny quirk into a lyrical phrase. Utterly spellbinding to watch
I caught that too!
He is a monster. Saw him just live in Hamburg. Oh man!
A fount of creativity - beautiful!
I wish Donald Fagen would ask Guthrie to write some SD style stuff with him... How amazing his harmonic sensibilities are!
He's the definition of a master
Guthrie Govan & Chris Buck my new guitar gods
Mighty fine.
His improv phrasing is unmatched, what a legend
At :50 seconds when his guitar starts chugging that jack daniels out the bottle I thought I was just having heart palpitations
