    Erotic Cakes is a masterpiece. It’s the pinnacle of fusion guitar creativity and precision. The only other album that comes close in the genre is Powers Of Ten by Shawn Lane. This whole masterclass was eye opening

    I not only love Guthrie's playing and writing, but also his dry brit sense of humor.

    He is so good, and so good at explaining how to use things as well. Guthrie really is a wizard!

    I love how he does his demonstrations clean and not distorted. Not too many people do that.

      basic does not mean simple or easy... Its a base of a certain technique and if the technique is difficult then the base will also be pretty difficult

    What are you talking about? He has written an album. He's also appeared on other albums and toured with big name musicians. He's also known as one of the best guitarists of our time.

  • @liliIiliIilil
    @liliIiliIilil Před rokem

    Honestly the string dampener is the biggest part of making tapping parts work. There is a technique to making strings ring less but it helps so much.

    @rollandrock99 It's the backing for Waves from his solo album 'Erotic Cakes', the same song that has the insane harmonised run that's also in the intro.
