@@klausschneider1045 He does his own shredding thing brilliantly. He’d be crap in a blues band or a straight jazz situation not to mention classical or flamenco.
Awesome band! This is my favorite type of music for Guthrie. I mean fusion, jazz AND blues. But I love Erotic Cakes album because it’s such a good mix of various styles
I love the way he throws in famous riffs without anyone barely even noticing. I heard Baker Street in there somewhere which fits nicely given the location haha
Jazz rock fusion is his natural home. However it’s hard to make a living playing this stuff because it’s hard to listen to and only appeals to guitar geeks. Alan Holdsworth had the same problem. It’s not jazz, it’s not rock, it’s not an easy listen. He’s going to be playing to guitar geek wannabes for the rest of his life.
I agree. Holds worth may be laundered as a genius, but he also failed miserably. He's okay in small doses. Guthrie has spread his wings and will not suffer the same fate - the new Aristocrats album is great. Yet again will appeal to a smallish audience.
He probably makes enough money playing the bigger stuff like Hans Zimmer's tours, and scores for The Lion King, Dune etc, and the long running tours with The Aristocrats to allow him to play the stuff he enjoys and feels most at home with. He always comes across as a pretty humble and modest guy - he doesn't need to drive a Ferrari or be a household name to be happy.
Yup. And that's the problem with straight virtuosity. Great guitarists need a great context to achieve a higher level of popularity. In most cases, that context is a band (ensemble). Look at players like Robert Fripp and Jeff Beck. They became household names because of what they accomplished in the context of their respective groups. I'll go one further. Virtuosity itself is an acquired taste. Personally, if I'm in the right mood, I'll listen to a virtuoso, (say Satriani or Vai), but if I want to be MOVED, I always go back to Jimmy Page or Brian May or David Gilmour. Different smokes for different folks, right?
Guthrie sounds even better with a keyboard in the band. It makes most impactful on how he is always playing the changes.
Is anyone still waiting for Erotic Cakes 2? Guthrie is one of the GOATs if not the GOAT.
Yes. Like when tf is his next solo album coming out!?
Guthrie Govan is the world’s best guitarist in many guitarist’s minds (including mine) and he’s so humble. Great guy all round
@@Hbw113 Agreed. He is so humble.
I don't know what "the best" means. He's good technically and that's a fact, but someone like Angus Young moves me 1000 times more 🤷♂️
What🙄
You need to do some research mate. Starting with Alan Holdsworth and then… too many to mention.
@@jazzman1954 who is he🤔
i love his jazz fusion
I was there! Amazing gig!
Guthrie is a phenomenon. Have him step out on any bandstand, and he will fit perfectly in and deliver the finest music you could imagine.

The way he casually throws in the baker street theme @2:33

@@donnahackman-heath6137 Indeed.
That was an amazing experience. For the first time I saw him Live 😍
Does anyone know what is this song's name?
guitar aside: there isnt a better pound for pound musician on this planet currently
Al principio estaba un poco desorientado armónicamente! 😁
😁
Keyboardist taking up way too much space.
impossible to judge on this sound
