It was a very intimate setting, after NAMM type of event with maybe 30+ people. I was the guy who shot the footage never intending for it to be seen by anyone but me at the time. I was in Tone Merchants shopping for an amp and Ed Yoon said there was a guy coming to play a concert in a few days so I asked him if I could use my new Sony camcorder there and he said sure. Later on I gave Ed the tapes and he gave me some guitar chords for the trade, he then sold copies at the store for a while. I feel privileged to have helped out Ed since the footage he got didn’t come out right. That night Ed gave Guthrie a rad Suhr guitar and he’s been supportive of Guthrie’s career it seems. I wish Tone Merchants was still around but I heard Ed went to join John Suhr.
Not sure, but this was in Orange County near the Orange Circle. I used a Sony Vh C mini camcorder and a RadioShack lavalier mic that shared the same capsule as the Earthworks 30 mic. I bought 2 on clearance for 12 dollars each and wired them for stereo, I’m still amazed by their performance. Mix magazine had an article about 10 best kept secret mics and that’s how I knew about them. Keep in mind I didn’t know who Guthrie was at the time and I never intended the footage to be seen by anyone but me so that’s why there are crazy zooms and pans. I still have the master copies and I should try to remaster for better quality now that all my computer software is so advanced since then.
He usually taps that part, but this time he did it with a bend using his pinky. Could be improv. Also one time he did not do it during a show. He said "it's too early for that lick"
Most people fail to realize just how raw Guthrie is when he plays live. No tech, no roadie, no nothing. He's doing 10x the work he needs to be doing because he CAN. Imagine him with a show production like Steve Vai or Satriani? (I'm not comparing them). I'd love to see him on a G3 with those guys.

A lot of negative comments. Ppl are really resistant for some reason. Sounds like jealousy to me. Guthrie is undeniably one of the worlds best electric players... He's still young and still getting better! Crazy. He will leave a mark in the world and set a new example for playing the electric guitar. He already has... And he does play really fast... And it's awesome chops. But he also plays some of the most creative melodies I have ever heard for guitar. Great Compositions.
It's because his usual guitar has 24 frets, and since this one has 22, he had to bend up to the high E. The Great One may have underestimated himself, but succeeded nonetheless.
i always just thought he was just putting on a show. its a challenging lick.....i never paid attention to that tho...YOU'RE RIGHT....he had to bend up to high e. that makes that lick even harder. many guys have a great left hand or a great hand.....I haven't found a hole in Guthrie's game yet. he's just so complete.
@@sbagga95 that's not true, the lick is originally designed to bend in the 22th fret of high E, if you have seen the transcribed score from , he just want to put some funny and dramatic effect in his playing. To him, that lick probably is just like grab a bottle of water, turn the cap open then drink..... that simple enough thing, coz we've never see he miss on that lick on so many youtube videos.
@@dibaliba The transcription can say whatever it says, but he does hammer-on to the 24th fret when it is available: czcams.com/video/aA8fzsE7tWU/video.html
What the hell are you on about? Guthrie's solos respect the harmonic changes and modulations more than a lot of fusion guitarists I know of. Plus, his solos often add even more to the harmony, which means that every time he improvises over a certain harmonic progression, you could be getting a completely different overall harmonic structure. If that isn't a sign of an excellent jazz musician, I don't know what is.
Virtuoso lead playing is some of my very favorite music. I have a massive collection of it and listen to it religiously. I love all of those guys, I think they are all unique and play with more feel than they are often given credit for by normie pentatonic players that worship Guitar World Magazine guitarists. However, Guthrie has always stood out among that crowd for me. He really is something special in a world of special and incredibly talented people. His phrasing is always in the pocket, sweet and smooth as silk. His tone is perfect to me. He writes such beautiful and powerful music. I love the guy.
@@zaccyo Sorry, I never saw your response. Generally I'm talking about most of the guys on Shrapnel records and similar artists. Guys like Greg Howe, Joey Tafolla, Tony Macalpine, Richie Kotzen etc.
@@havenlewis5913 No problem mate - thanks for the comment:) I'm somewhat more in the same world of guitar and music than I was when I wrote you that question. As much as I love Guthrie, I prefer his backing track vids over his actual compositions. For me they are rather boring, and just don't really do it for me. As a player, I will watch everything he does though, because he is of course out of this world. For me Shawn Lane is outstanding. I love his playing, but his music just hits me deep inside. I'm currently looking for more music and playing that gives me what Shawn does. I have to admit, I don't kow much of anything from Greg Howe, or JOey Tafolla, but I will check them both out for sure. Any recommendations of where to start? I am also blown away by Matteo Mancuso. He is another Guthrie in my opinion. Loved his recent blues shuffle in G. WOW!! Peace brother:)) All the best from Australia!
show cara, som demais. esse cara ainda nao e tao conhecido, dou seis meses pra esse cara estar no mundo inteiro..... abrazo do brasileiro mexicano, Brian Macedo... Trem de Minas Band...
He is to good to play for Zappa, but he could have I'm sure more than Zappa would wanted , yet Zappa was more of a control freak. Best song Zappa ever did was when he played the bicycle on ED Sullivan show. Lol
notice how during the video as guthrie starts "defying the laws of physics" reality begins to degrade or "quantumoniously intangle upon itself" you can see this phenomena accuring many times throught the entire video xD
Always cool to see the world's best are able to sound the same regardless of gear. A batwing Les Paul and what looks to be a Randall vs. today his signature $3-4k customer shop Charvel and typical wonky British amp. If I switch gear, the ears know.
You are exactly right with the first part of your comment about 'different school(s).' Guthire playing 'jazz' reminds me of many 'classicly-trained' players playing jazz. They sound very formal and metronomic. I'm not sure why you felt the need to try and insult... I play sax from the 'jazz school'. Posting videos doesn't make a good player. But perhaps i should.
Thanks for agreeing. I did not want to belittle feeling by saying it is a just a different kind of technique. But it requires a lot of practice if someone wants to do it right. If you spend your time practicing alternate picking faster and faster - that is what you'll be good at. If you spend your time practicing bending and slow phrasing because your heart is broken ;) - you'll develop feeling. Ideally, you find the time for both...
I was hoping to see him play a full show Thanks. I wish someone would upload Erotic Cakes it's a import & I haven't popped out the bread for it yet There's a clip of him & Bumble at the Namm show but it is before GNR, it's short and silly
Hey what is the image stabilization effect at the beginning that locks on to the guitar body...is that part of Premiere, AfterFX, Final Cut, or what? Don't tell me that was a manual layer-position animation, cuz that was great...it was like there was a camera on a stick bolted to his guitar....
There is no way to separate technique and "feeling". They develop and come together. Besides, "feeling" belongs to the listener as much as it belongs to the artist. All you can say is you can't feel the stuff you wish to feel. Many of us feels fine when Gutrie bringss on his "arsenal" and thrills us with speed, accuracy, amazing tonality and pure music played from the heart.
Ugh, man this is disgustingly good. I havent sat down for a deep dive of this since i was about 14, and fuck me, wanna fist bump my you ger self for having great taste. Anyone know where the lick library show with him and the fellowship is?
+Kingding6 Fuck yeah. This lineup is so much better than the Aristocrats. No disrespect to Brian and Marco, nor this is a judgment on their ability/musicianship. I just like how this lineup gels. And frankly I like this man's drumming better. Awesome.
+Saqib Saqib Tough to say it's better for me, certainly different. I saw the aristocrats this past summer and it was mind expanding. But I'd definitely like to see more stuff from this band.
Kingding6 I'm sure it was overwhelming. I can't imagine why it won't be. I suppose the reason I like this lineup so much is because Pete (the drummer) creates a lots and lots of room for Guthrie's phrases and exploding licks to breath and reach the listeners without distraction. Yet anyone who knows anything about drumming will know that this guy is not short of embellishment skills and crazy fills. Whereas, Marco, despite, or perhaps because, of his monstrous skills, falls prey to not being able to employ them more wisely. That is a rather odd thing to say about an accomplish and world class musician and again this is not judgmental and I'm not trying to be an asshole. Also watching live I will probably forget all of these and be mesmerized by their performance, may be even be convinced that Marco is better. But I do feel that Marco's drum fills take away from the guitar parts and the whole composition by extension. Even though Marco's drum parts are extremely fun and very enjoyable as standalone drumming chops.
+Saqib Saqib I see where you're coming from. I'm a drummer myself and while obviously I appreciate Marco's ability, he's never been one of my favourite drummers, precisely for the reason you mentioned. It's all a matter of taste isn't it, I personally love pete's drumming. However, like you said, you absolutely would get swept away by these guys at their show. Also, something that is clear in some of their vids on youtube, but is abundantly clear live, is their chemistry with one another, I've seen a lot of jazz and fusion concerts and i've never witnessed the level of interplay these guys demonstrate. It's almost psychic.

I always thought it was at Dave Friedman’s Tone Merchants shop. Was there another Tone Merchants in LA?

@@tonyaguon2559 Glad you decided to film this. Yes, a remastered version of this performance would be epic!
I would very appreciate that as well.
@@tonyaguon2559 that would be amazing. please do it. just incredible music
After nailing the insane lick at 12:59 he makes a triumphant fist. You know it is good when Guthrie is impressed with himself!
He usually taps that part, but this time he did it with a bend using his pinky. Could be improv. Also one time he did not do it during a show. He said "it's too early for that lick"
He and himself would agree 💪
@@jm394 it's a tapped bend from D to E, the guitar only has 22 frets
when it only takes you one album to be recognized as one of the greatest guitarist ever...insane XD
try my 1 minute songs for best song ever contenders jk
how bout best riffbacks , trickflips, reverse turnarounds and double triple stops off the top of yer head in under 30 seconds ....
Years later, this is STILL the best tone Guthrie has ever had…in my opinion at least
😮😃

This is footage from 9 years back,I don't know how many of you realise that.
What a phenomenal guitar player.
Guthrie's said in an interview that he prefers standing over sitting

19:00 those licks are bending time and space
Guthrie scares the crap out of me ! ... Master of any style !
Good God this is OUTSTANDING...thanks so much for posting this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Turn it up!
Fantastic Guthrie, thanks you very much for your beautiful music
Watch it again after almost 10 year. My guitar hero when i was teenager!! Still rocking tikl today
Bless your soul for this video.
Thanks for sharing this video!

He mentions in other videos that the lick at 12:59 is one that he rarely nails. Clearly this is a time where he nailed it.
Haha love that fist pump he allows himself
Thx for the upload. Awesome camera work!
I love how happy he was when he nailed that lick at 13:00
I love it at around 50 minutes in they do a saxophone and guitar trade-off... what a pleasure to witness
Yes! Guitar solo at 56:40 is one of my favorites ever, been looking for this on youtube for a while. Thanks!
Espectacular, gran melodía y ritmo, muy buenos solos, es un gusto enorme escuchar estos grandes músicos. saludos desde Colombia.
thanks vedeo good
so inspiring !
a gem from autoplay. my ears perked up while I was doing housework and I ran to the screen.
7:21 - Pure destruction. Edit. Better yet, 7:00 for the build up.
36:22 is mindblowing
Epicness galore
Extraordinario Guthrie como siempre, y en el saxo una bestia freezer xd.
The line he plays from 9:41 to 9:48 is so incredible. It's one of the greatest runs in a solo I have ever heard.
Seth is so humble
"F" being one of the greatest guitarists in the world. This guy is one of the greatest musicians!!
Guthrie is amazing!
amazing...
The trading with the sax player in Straight No Chaser was just perfect

so cool to see Guthrie playing the old jazz standards
Man on Fire.
Those chords are in order: Am11, Amaj7, Dm9 and G7 or altered to a G 13.
I write and perform instrumental guitar as well... there's something humbling about watching this guy play... 😮
Yeeeeah!!
I 😮would like to be there…❤
Just when you think everything has been done on the electric guitar along comes someone like Guthrie Govan...
That is guthries brother on bass if u didnt know
Brian Gosling Seth Govan...
I think I’ll be so proud and a bit jealous if my brother was Guthrie
if you could see anyone but Guthrie you might know
ha!! love the humanity!
a true virtuoso!
that wonderful slippery thing moment at 13:04, absolutely classic.
You're right, I am a musician and i tend to over analyze, both strengths and weaknesses. Everybody's got both, but your point is well taken.
Guthrie is a real guitar hero !...
How can you be that good. Damn
