Goatest flex is finger tapping on a fretless, at perfect pitch no less. Govan inspired me to quit the guitar.

I felt that way when I first saw Malmsteen on MTV, I literally dropped my guitar, and yes I broke it… From that day forward I made a point to quit sounding like others and tried finding my own voice, as I'll never be someone else, it's just better to be myself, and I've been enjoying playing ever since!

At my age this level is unattainable, probably always was. But as Guthrie would say I'm sure, speed isn't everything but my is he impressive when he does it. Keep playing and keep enjoying. 🤘

I loved when he picked up the brew, drank and kept shredding 😂😂😂💯🤘🏾👊🏾💣🎸✊🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

Everything he plays, even the lightspeed runs with a million notes, is musical AF. Everything.

That Sevens solo at 5:05 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard on a guitar

Funny and musical in the same time!

Please do more compilations like this. It is super difficult to search for relevant information on today's KZread. Your compilation makes me know more about Guthrie Govan!

He really does flex in the best ways possible.

thanks for your work. I've seen thousand video of him but discover another with your video. 5:05 with the ending solo of seven. thanks again !

How could you be anything else, but mesmerized

The Best of the Best!!!

Guitar god

Amazing player. Although Guthrie has this robotic look about him like hes spent a century imagining guitar scales on his guitar

at 2:07 that's the sound of a high score when you shoot the invader. :D

you could make a never-ending video for GG's Goat moments..

Amazing technique. With such a barrage of look at me, and look at all the notes I can play at lightspeed to impress all who hear and see, his at times outward boredom seems apparent. Sometimes the playing in this series of clips sounds more like exercises to improve flexibility and technical proficiency rather than music. He is an obvious virtuoso for sure. If notes, time signatures, modes and key signatures were bullets, somewhere between a single shot bolt action 22 and a fully automatic machine gun, lies tasteful musicality and musical genius. More can be impressive and needed for certain works. Sometimes also, less is more. A rest in a composition isn't because the composer wanted no sound. Silence is infact a sound when surrounded by musical sounds. He's so amazing on his instrument it makes me wonder, just how many guitar players stopped playing guitar after hearing him play? His playing is so out of reach of most mere mortals. How many musicians picked a different instrument after hearing what they'd never be able to achieve. "That's it. From now on I will choose to master the Kazoo. Or better yet, I'm gonna focus on becoming the greatest 12 skinned, dropped D electric tambourine player anyone's ever heard. Yeah, my new focus." Haha

@michaelmcasey

Guthrie can do the "less is more" thing as well as anyone, but this compilation focuses more on the technical flashy moments. His slower playing is as deep as it gets. "Spiritus Cactus" by the Aristocrats is a great example of this, as is "Sweet Water" by Bryan Beller. It's a little sad that so much musical context is missing in this video, since he uses a lot of contrast in his playing in concert and the fast bits are made much more meaningful by the more mellow parts which often preceed them and build up to them.

Guys, do You know the name of the vídeo or the song that gunthrie play at 5:05 ???

When someone's so good you just want to put your guitar down..... I've been playing for a long time (nearly 20 years as a bedroom guitarist). There's some stuff for me that's *really* hard but I'm like 'yeah I could probably play that if I practiced for a while - e.g Altitudes by Becker', then there's some stuff where I'm just like 'I actually think it's physically impossible for my fingers to move that fast/with that much endurance/with those bends and melody, even if I practiced every day until I die' - Govan is in the latter bucket.

Erotic cake release in 2006 I love that! you sure got more ideas for another solo album.

@@peterwagner2083 maybe. On New Levels New Devils and other Polyphia albums Tim Henson and his co-writers made hooky songs with coherent bridge sections perfect for a featured guitarist to come in and solo.

@@aucusticguitar8069I've been following Guthrie for 30 years since his first releases on Shrapnel. Stunning technically and some memorable melodic lines here and there. That's why I'm here. My point was simply that what's most important in music is music (i.e. compositions) and Guthrie hasn't released much of it over the last 30 years and even less that many people reach for when they want to sit down and really listen to great, transformative music (as opposed to just flashy, difficult or memorable licks). Guthrie just hasn't earned wider fame because of this and he doesn't deserve it until this changes. It's not impossible. Satriani and Vai have done it in more or less the same genre. At this rate, in the long run Guthrie will be relatively forgotten as the state of the art catches up with and surpasses him, while lesser technicians who create great music will be remembered.

@aucusticguitar8069

Жыл бұрын

@A Segal I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. Music doesn't exist for the purpose of being streamed on Spotify or selling records. Music was orginally for the moment. The musician would perform and after that moment passes thats it. I would say he has made "music" in your definition but it lives only in the moment. Only carried on through recordings of shows. So I would say his style of composing is just spontaneous, not that he doesn't compose. And about his recognition, it doesn't look like he cares whether people recognize his ability its just not his style. It feels like he chooses not to post on social media or write more records since he prefers live performance to premeditated recording
