It appears it is possible to get so good at playing a guitar that literally anything and everything will just fall right under your fingers with absolute precision, no matter how impossible it is.

Forgive me, I'm a little high, but not only did he play that flawlessly, he wrote it, every damn note. He thought that all in his head and made it come out of this guitar. Wow. I'm speechless.

Obviously, anyone's favorite guitar player is always just an opinion, but I think that many people have not heard many players outside of the radio friendly scope of guys like Hendrix, Clapton and Van Halen. If these same people sat down and gave guys like Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker and George Bellas a good listen and still preferred the others,then that's their informed opinion. I just don't see how that would be possible.

Yeah I worship the guy, I just love his work, but people who refer to him as the "best guitarist" are a bit ignorant and the same goes for people who say he isn't as good as musicians think. Jimi lit a spark for every rock/metal band to come after him, including Guthrie. It's also really stupid to compare a 60s psychedelic blues rock pioneer to Guthrie considering this music didn't exist back then and this is a different genre. I "hate to break it to all of you", but there will never be a "greatest guitar player" because there is so much undiscovered talent out there that you just don't know what people are capable of.

For those who think that the dificulty in playing guitar is only speed, Malmsteen will be very impressive.

Giovanni Tapia la técnica de govan es mejor que la de malmsteen y dudo que lo toque así de fácil como lo planteas, malmsteen es mas neoclasico, en cambio govan tiene estilos desde jazz, jazz fusion, funk, blues, rock etc

Not just the guitar playing but the progression, composition or song itself is really unique. Very appealing.

Man, I'm tuning in nearly 12 years too late, but Guthrie is the greatest solo guitarist I've ever heard... LOVE those burning fingers!

The single greatest guitar solo I've ever heard in my life. Every time I listen my jaw literally drops to the floor.

Amazing playing and technique, amazing melodies and sounds. Amazing Mr. Guthrie Govan!

All the technique in the world & the phrasing of Beck! Simply Mind blowing .

I've seen it a lot. Really many many times, since 2012 and still impressing me and I think this man is the best. The GOAT!!!

I have to get my fix every month watching this video! This is still for me the most amazing guitar performance I have ever seen! The control, feeling and technical ability is just off the scale! To make fusion sound so nice and the song writing of this piece is genius! Guthrie you are a total legend!!

Such a creative player. Love his use of chromatic passing notes. Makes the technical stuff seamless at times

Im 67 years old and I've seen a lifetime of musicians (guitarists) up close watching and listening. I cannot think of anyone I can compare this musical angel with rainbow fingers to today. He's on his own cloud above the rest such a combination of heart speed feeling enjoyment to watch and hear. Wish God would have given him a voice to match his strings. In my opinion and thats the only 1 that matters to me Jovan is the greatest guitarist alivee today. Not even some of the greats in their later years were this fantastic. Oh theres great and thens there's the superior great Jovan. What a blend of electric shock. He's so natural of a God given talent. Glad so glad to be alive when he's been alive and playing. No words can describe this genius. He's the Leonardo dVinci of guitar everyone should be blessed to hear and see him play at least once. To bad life is so short. Saw Hendrix 3 times. Best in his day. Seen this man once best in his day. He's a creator of pure art.. Mark my word hes the ultimate best right now in the whole world unless I'm missing something. Lol and thank you Jovan.

The solo is absolutely insane just the speed alone but then how he moves across the fretboard so effortlessly

might be the best guitar video i've ever seen

Keep in mind Guthrie improvised a good portion of the solo in this take, and that great guitarists on KZread have trouble recreating what he thought of on the spot in covers with practice. Guthrie has ascended past the level of expert guitarist, he's by far the most versatile guitarist on the planet.

So relax and in control of the instrument

this composition is just purely badass. this guy is truely a master of the fretboard.

I don't think I'll live to see another guitarist on Guthrie's level. He's all over it. I know fast playing isn't everyone's cup of tea and there are loads of incredible guitarists around but I'm convinced there aren't any better shredders around than this guy, he's in a league of his own.

@yugen.111

He's the jack of all trades. His technical abilities, as well as his musical abilities, are incredible. He's even given inspiration to the 19 year old guitar virtuoso, Max Ostro. Ostro will likely be better than Guthrie when he gets to be Guthrie's age in the video, but he's already closing in on many guitarists that are twice his age. Though, we will never see anyone quite like Guthrie again, at least not for a long time.

What an amazing guitar player never in my life have I seen anything like this guy

this video introduced me to guthrie 16 years ago - still sounds just as good ! ♥️

My fingers hurt just from watching this..

This cat is the whole package, the real deal. Can’t wait to see him live one of these days.

First time seeing Guthrie. Blown away!!! 👍👍👍

Woah, did I just witness a guitarist sit back for an ENTIRE BASS SOLO? That's when you know you've got serious skills, you don't need to put on airs of being a guitar God, you just are one.

Who the flying f*** would dislike this! God have fingers on you..........

one of the best compositions of fusion music, and Govan's best - Holdsworth influenced but also very personal and passionate

Such a simple but awesome name for a song, defined one of the best guitarists to every live 🤟🤟🤟

That ending starting at 4:09 is completely mind-blowing, off the charts, amazing!!!!!! The rest is just magical as well!
