More than anything this video reminds me of one very important fact. Whether you are Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King or any other celebrated guitarist. Without the dedication and hard work of the engineers and designers who produce the amplification, effects and instruments, people like Martin Kidd, then there wouldn't be the music we love (regardless of genre or style). Hats off to all the engineers over the years they are the true unsung heroes of rock.

@@classicartfoundation639 No. He's got huge chops maybe the best in the scene. What makes him the best is the combination of sheer knowledge, musicality and technicality. He hears the music he wants to play in his head and he instantly transfers it to his instrument without facing any technical or musical barriers. He's as complete as a musician can get on one instrument.

What an amazing player, he's so controlled and fluid, when he goes for a shred he manages to keep it musical and still has feel, really amazing to watch

Guthrie is a very simple person, his tone is fantastic, his equipment is simple, and he is a fantastic player!!

Guthrie wrote Waves in his early twenties. TWENTIES!!

Said the same after watching him live, I've seen many more but he pull such a high level performance so effortless it was like as of he was talking, or some other sort of second nature.

The arpeggios are so clean. I wouldn't normally go for this style but this man is amazing on the guitar, I love the dedication to the work. Stunning. Well done.

Guthrie Govan should be the next Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor

Yep..I went to this..I am in the left bottom corner of the screen and the one whistling at the end of each tune..Guthrie is just too AMAZING for words..to see him up close was just awesome.. he is funny and a gentleman and just so amazing with the guitar..wow what a night......

The music is too loud compared to the talk audio

Guthrie's a lovely down-to-earth guy who on first appearances looks a little like 'Aqualung' until you put a guitar in his hands, then realisation rapidly sets in that appearances are deceptive and he's divinely-inspired. Daniel Steinhardt of 'TheGigRig' has an incredible channel on KZread, I've learned so much from him for free over the past week or so in terms of setting-up my amp and pedal-board. It's lovely to see talented, open people come together in situations like this to demonstrate quality musical equipment. Great video, thank you.

He is unbelievably good and versatile for an Oxford ex-student who never took formal music lessons. I think he has more knowledge of music than most Berklee & GIT "shredders"..

Holy shit, I just teared up ❤

Guthrie's playing is scary, brilliant, breath taking, hyper musical and comical. Seems like a nice guy, too. I much prefer his tone back in the days when he was running with Cornford amps, but his playing sounds great regardless of what gear he uses.

Super show; great way to get the word out. I sware that Guthrie is so musically expressive that even his West Coast Grooves Jam Trax recording sounds like a record and not a guitar lesson!

Was so excited for this, thank you!

after watching Guthrie for several years, and being a pro player myself, I just wonder what he thinks of the negative criticism. its a shame that people are being killed in the world, and serious stuff is happening, yet we are taking a player like guthrie and slating him for just being Guthrie. he IS what he IS. he is a guitarist of great ability and musicianship, and he wants to create as much music for the people that like him, as long as he can I guess. I'm sure he's had every kind of label thrust onto him good and bad, and I bet it does get to him in some way, nobody hates to be negative, but he's not trying to convince anybody of who he is, you can see he loves playing, and surely that is enough?

Thanks for this. Hasn't been a good Guthrie upload in a while.

I´ve seen sooooo many comments about his playing sooo....wow.. what a beatifull guitar :D

Guthrie's playing sounds amazing as always and as far as tonally sounds wonderful through the Victory amps. Also, when he said "thank you for coming" I thought that would be a great Aristocrats song title.

Congratulations for this video! I want one amplifier and one t-shirt of Victory Amplifiers! hahahaha

This is how 50 years of playing guitar looks like! Playing with passion of course. Hats off 👽

Everything about SuperG is Tone and Feel.... a lot of the so called greatest guitarists in the instrumental world need to take a leaf of his book. Every Note GG plays; even the fast shredding runs have feeling whereas the others just sound sterile. Absolutely blown away..... no doubt the best Musically gifted Guitarist out there. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing guitar player and the amps sounds really good.

That's so ridiculously insane, it's hard to wrap my brain around how good he is. Secretly trained robot?!?!?😉

Love the work of Martin in the morning... it sounds like Victory.

Amazing!! Buenisimos sonidos de estos amplis y las manos del maestro increibles como siempre ;)

I dream at night about wanting to play like Guthrie.

I was blown away by the clean sound of the V100. Unbelievable for an amp that cranks so well to have a clean sound like that. Guthrie's playing is probably the world standard for technical excellence at the moment, and he is very creative and musically intelligent. I haven't heard much of his music. There seems to be a lot in every piece. He's one of those players who plays "a lot of guitar" in Wes Montgomery's phrase. As a creator of great musical ideas, I wouldn't put him in the class of Joe Satriani, but listening to him is listening to a first class musical mind, that's for sure.

I've been hooked on Guthrie's shredding escapades & slowly this Musical Genius is becoming my Guitar Guru , right next to Steve Morse !!! ... Incredible player !

We need the whole concert please!

Damn !!! This guy has ability that defies physics. Phenomenal player and absolutely BORN to play.

Ugh they all sound fantastic! My two personal favorites are the V10 (the little combo that could) and the V100 (the Steven Wilson tone I absolutely fell in love with). I kind almost wish, for kicks, he played Chapper's Silverback. I just would love to hear how he sounds through one!

Amazing demo from the legend that is the govan. the only thing missing is his demo of the silverback \m/

I love how he speaks to the guitar when he plays :)

@Mike3303

I think he's mouthing out the tones as he hears them in his head. This is something that jazz musicians are taught and considering how much Guthrie worships guys like Joe Pass, it would make sense that he emulates this technique.

3:42 : Sooooo frigging clean! 😍

He's doing it and we can only stand and watch!!

Guthrie is insanely good. Also great sound on this video.

Guthrie Govan is insanely FANTASTIC!!!!

That man said it: "...Professorial knowledge of music..."

Guthrie Govan is an amazing musician/guitarist. I don't like to compare guitarists as they're all different in their own ways but, if I did, I'd struggle to find anyone that would come close to Guthrie. He's quite incredible, and a lovely guy too.

Love the way Guthrie loses himself in his guitar when he's playing! He's gone! I want to see the entire live playing video....with no breaks please!!! Awesome!!!!

He's the best guitarist of the world... Amazing *_*

He's a freaking awesome guitar player.

if i ever had a gripe about something in guthrie govan i would say it was his live tone sometimes. but in this video its superb. before it was sometimes a bit dry and weak but its great here.

I love him, he's very humble and is THE guitar beast. Everything he says is interesting

Wow ! great guitar 🎸 player 👍

Turn closed captioning on post 9 minutes and watch what it makes of wonderful slippery thing.

dios mio, cuanto talento posee este guitarrista, amigo eres un genio de genio

I LOVE THE WAY THAT EVERY TIME THE CAMERA SHOWS 'MICK' AT THE DESK, WATCHING GUTHRIE, HIS BOTTOM JAW IS ON THE FLOOR! HAHAHA

Just fabulous,thx Guthrie.............

Grazie...bellissimo video

8:32 that's a cool run w/o picking.

Still kicking myself that I didn't make the effort to go see him when he was in town the other week! Now only if we could get The Aristocrats to come, that would be good.

Dweezil Zappa needs to get Govan on his tour right now. I just have a feeling that if Frank saw this guy, he'd be his new "stunt guitarist" in about a quarter of a second.

guthrie always has the soft spot in his heart for kirk hammet 19:44

oh... the goosebumps at @ 3:27 . playing guitar brings him a horrendous joy

I came here to like this video! my goodness

One of the best on planet earth. No question.

Gosh I look forward to seeing him in Munich with Satriani and Vai

One of the greatest guitar player alive!!!

To be fair, I do agree that the clean tone from 'Wonderful Slippery Thing' was slightley less wet (rather than dry) compared to the studio version. Still, comparing a live situation with a studio set up may be a bit unfair, cuz it probably is significantly harder to get best of both worlds (tone and the overall balance) in live situation, especially when he is supposed to be switching from 10W to 100W.

This guitar player is really insane!!!

We're not worthy, we're not worthy

I would say you have my undying love for uploading this, but some of the playing was interrupted in the edit. Therefore, I shall only love you for a long time.

Guthrie is my Idol I swear love that guy!

Guthrie resembles a hippie from the 1960's/70's yet with both modern and vintage chops. It's like Larry Coryell meets Eddie Van Halen. Very cool! One my favorites these days.

Just bought a Vic Super Countess......killer amp, seriously. Just watched this video of GG playing....now selling three Gibson les pauls, the new Vic amp, two sets of string, assorted picks and some pedals......

Man I love Waves! Sound has a lot to do with your pickups. I know some will disagree, but good pickups will make your guitar sound way different than stock pickups. A way bigger difference in sound than aftermarket speakers or even an amp. You can get this same sound by using Dimarzio pickups. A PAF Pro in the neck and a Fred in the bridge, preferably in a solid mahogany body. Classic Ibanez JS series setup. This sound is very dry and straight forward just like Joe Satriani. Or just be cool and get the amp, but don't get upset when your guitar sounds different through the amp because of your pickups!

Brasil sempre representando HU3HU3

Wow! All these comments and nobody asked about which pedals he used? I can't imagine him getting any better... But I'm sure I've said that quite a few times about him...

Never was a big fan of G, am now, great shredding!

greatest guitar player and cool amps

Dang that's a beautiful Souldier strap.

Did anybody else hear the Canterbury Sound in some of his songs, thinking Soft Machine or smt. All the same, he's an incredible player.

It's nice they took in this homeless guy and gave him some warm coffee. He plays the guitar pretty well, he should look into doing that as a career to get off the streets.

Can we finally get just the performances with no talking.

Brilliant stuff again, despite what others seem to think. The ticking Englishman strikes again.

this would make for an amazing Live DVD!!!

Is that Mick Taylor from Guitarist Magazine in the corner behind the MacBook? Getting some inspiration Mick? Impossible not to really with Guthrie playing

Guthrie and Martin chilling at a bar. Good times
