Just to be clear, the lydian dominant scale is the one he's using on the second chord. And yes, Guthrie is an absolute monster! Perhaps a few other guitar players can match his speed, but who else can play the crap out of virtually every musical genre?! I've heard him play country, jazz, rock, fusion, blues, etc... flawlessly! Besides being a master improviser with unlimited chops, he plays with a lot of heart and soul.
I would say it’s more like the vocabulary of a particle physicist. It’s highly impressive and he’s clearly on another level but I have no idea what he’s going on about. Which is why most people prefer Brian May or Dave Gilmour. They’re very articulate in a language that people understand.
Funny u mention shakespearean because he was a lecturer for writing at oxford or something, dude had a comfy gig at a prestigious school and was like "Fuck it, i like this music thing more".
@@Jamsessionroom1337 he was a regular student at Oxford and dropped out after a year, at the age of 20, to pursue music full time. But yeah, he's obviously a very smart guy.
His groove is so strong! Right in the pocket! He means every note that’s for sure, by the way he plays. I also dug how he swung at the end of the solo and showed that part of himself in this great funk groove solo. He is a great player! So musical all the way!
In the era of ridiculous numbers of strings, extended range instruments and never ending sustain I much prefer someone using tone, attack and melody to get results.
I can't comprehend the musical ideas here (the dude's a genius) but I do know that between his bending and his whammy work, that's about as close to the sound of slide I've ever heard someone playing with their fingers make.
You should listen to Michael Lee Firkins. He's an amazing player who can also imitate the slide sound with the whammy bar. His playing is quite bluesy but combined with more modern shreddy techniques.
@@SuperXtoon, I don't know how I didn't know about Michael, but thank you sincerely for turning me onto him. His playing is wild and is definitely very much like Guthrie's when it comes to that slide without a slide effect (or should I say Guthrie's is like Michael's). Watching his Hot Licks video is great because of the pace and camera angles. Specifically the way he hugs the tremolo with his pinky, then dives before playing most of the slide-like passages, and then adding the vibrato at the end (which happens to all the strings just like with a slide). Definitely demystified it a bit for me. Being able to duplicate it may still be ellusive, though. Edit: as I watch more of that Hot Licks video, he pretty extensively covers the technique. Pretty cool. Lots of other gems in there too. Thanks for giving me another rabbit hole to go down!!!
@@brandonmoore7797 No problem. I think he plays in the song "Meet me in the morning" from the Jason Becker album "Perspective". I always thought it was Jason playing, but judging by the way it sounds, it must be Michael. I had never listened to him before until someone mentioned his name on the comments from that song on CZcams. You should definitely check that song out.
Its impressive how you can just come to youtube, type Guthrie Govan anda watch ANY of his videos.... and have the feeling of how supernatural this guy is and how can someone playing such beautiful music ... I love Satriani, Vai Petrucci, Morse, Van Halen, SRV, and the list goes on ... but sometimes I kinda expect what is coming next in their playing, eventhough they are genius .... but Govan, is different ! you never know what is going to be the next lick or sound !
1:56 Nice❤
0:00 to 4:34 -> SICK!!! 😱😳

If you consider music as a form of expression, he has a vocabulary of Shakespearean proportions
... in three different languages.

Or Ben Shapiro
yep still need those juicy guthrie clips

What can I say... There are no words. He's The Guitar Wizard!
Videos like this really show how much of guthrie's soul comes from his vibrato
Vibrator*
@@lewistempleman9752 a phallactory, if you will.
I still can't believe the genius I got to experience here.
Edit: Bruh the more I listen to it, the more it blows the fuck out of me.
Never really gave Guthrie time before… that was mesmerising.
All that matters is that you eventually did, my friend!
Erotic Cakes is an amazing place to start spending time, if you haven't!
I watched many of his videos and I've yet to find a solo that is up there with the greats.
In the era of ridiculous numbers of strings, extended range instruments and never ending sustain I much prefer someone using tone, attack and melody to get results.
I agree. That's a good way to describe it.
His phrasing is just insane.

From a different world...
Bloody brilliant
hermoso, como para escucharlo todo un dia entero sin parar
I wouldn’t even be able to do that in my dreams
Incredible
Sublime groove.
legendary
Random thought occurred while watching and listening…The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes seems relevant
😂😂
🔴 he is a Legend...
Unreal!!
Only player that can make shred sound like music
Go listen to Charlie Robbins or Polyphia, there is melodical shred out there.
@@nates2 Polyphia hahaha... Guthrie shits on Tim Henson
Per Nillson is another melodic shredder
You haven’t listened to enough music then.
@@danflak6363 I was going to reply with the same comment. Guthrie is one of the best to do it but he is far from the only one.
Sounds a lot like Jeff Beck but more technical
agree, was waiting for this comment
Come Dancing from Wired
All glory unto him
Así que... Así se ve cuando alguien desbloqueó absolutamente todo lo desbloqueable de la guitarra...
Reminds me of Chris Poland
He made a mistake at 3:18 proving he actually is human.

It must be nice to have fingers that long and know where to put them
G.O.A.T
Certainly was a lesson alright. The lesson today is that IMMORTALS walk among us! 😱😳
Este chabon no puede ser real, esta loco
wonderful🤩, I will go to aristocrats on Monday

Bagus gitar nya
The most nonchalant stank explosion I’ve ever witnessed
🎸🥋👊
Very Jeff Beck-ish❤
@Tobias do you have the full video of this?
Unfortunately I have only this fragment.
@@tobiascolombo4414 if I am not mistaken, I think I saw a full video, once, on YT. Maybe they took it down. 😔
2:39
Hàhhaa
Ssshhh
Give this man a 13 string guitar and let him finaly bend towards the heavens.
I occasionally wonder if he's bothered messing with one
What a bender
Is there anything that Guthrie CAN'T do on a guitar?
Play like ted greene or lenny breau
Yes - he can’t yet fry eggs on those sizzling hot strings
@@kantvishi ur right he plays better
@@kantvishi give Guthrie either of their gear and you wouldn't be able to ABX them for your life.
Ki player vai aita
Jfc
Yeah this scale sound much more fitting in a jazz tune. All the wooshing doesn't really do much.
Q ganas de no tocar nunca mas😢..😂😂
The think about him is that there is not one note or inflection he plays that isn’t purposeful
3:18
Mixo lydia n
Guthrie Govan the arrogant Guitarist how has abused THE LEGEND OF SLASH
Goven convert to groove
He is not a musician for me, he is like a music sportsmen - very interesting to look on his abilities, but absolutely boring
It's an acquired taste
Very soulless
I quit.
Proving once again that GG not looks like JC..but that he literally IS...the 2nd Coming of Christ!

I find this stuff as dull as dishwater.
Guitar Muzak🤮
What guitarists are you listening to
Your brains probably just a little too slow. Its ok, it cant be helped.
