Did you read their minds? Anyway, if they are unaware of it, perhaps that is because at the time, Holdsworth was still alive, so it wasn't true.

Ummm..he is beyond spectacular, but have you guys heard of an old grandpa called Alan Holdsworth ? He can play a few nice chords too... :D

If Hans Fucking Zimmer says you are as good as it can get- then there's not much higher compliment you can expect.

I went to a Hans Zimmer concert completely unaware that they had a "guest" guitarist with them. In one of the opening songs during a mindblowing guitar solo there was background lighting on the stage so I could only see the silhouette of a guitarist with massive hair. I realized it was Guthrie. The awesomeness of the show went from 110% to 220% real fast.

Guthrie was so uncomfortably humbled, he didn't even know how to feel. lol. Amazing to see someone such a Master loved by another Master that he is borderline bashful. I love it. At 3:48.

I share Hans Zimmer's opinion. In fact, Guthrie Govan often surprises me in a "I didn't think one could be *that* good" kind of way. I always exaggerated when I said "he makes the guitar cry" about anybody else... Then I heard Guthrie's solo in Drive Home... _that_ guitar is wailing like a mother that's lost a child. It's chilling just to play it in my head while I type this.

Hans: He is such a pleasure to be with Guthrie: Awwwww Loved that part

It's a shame this has little views. Should have millions this guy is a legend

By far the best guitarist ever pound for pound. Can play anything anywhere at any time in any sort of group.. From jazz to folk, pop, metal. Damn..

Its so warm watching Guthrie smiling 😊

so happy for Guthrie! he surely deserve all of this.

I really don't believe in a 'best' when it comes to music. But really... Guthrie is the best when it comes to guitar

I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Guthrie. He's a remarkable human being. Such a good guy and an amazing musician.

Unreal collection of guitarists.

Was pleasantly surprised to see Mike Einziger. Didn't expect the guitarist from an Alt. rock band (incubus) to be playing in an orchestra

My favorite guitarist worked with my favorite modern day composer?! Well I'll be damned wow! you guys made my day I swear.

Guthrie Govan, the reason why I went to see this show in Glasgow last week. And I wasn't disappointed. It was epic and Guthrie fitted like a glove in there. Nothing that he can't do. And also, he's a lovely humble guy.

Guthrie Govan is the kind of man that makes the world a bit better. And one of the best guitarists in the world, if not the best.

Guthrie is a class act.

Saw the show on the very first night of the tour, absolutely one of the best live music experiences I have ever witnessed! Completely spellbinding stuff, it truly felt like you were watching and listening to something special. Utterly immense. I take my hat off to you, Mr Zimmer.

I never thought I see a video of Guthrie playing a 8 string and Johnny marr in the same video.

Guthrie is indeed an amazing player, but wha about Johnny Marr and Mike Einziger? They're both great too!

hans has great taste. Pretty much echo what he says...saw Guthrie last summer with the aristocrats, nothing else to say that hasn't been said. In a class of his own, as a person and a player.

Johnny marr love him

Wish I could have been at that, not only Guthrie, Hans, plus Marr! Hell yeah! Sounds odd, but if I’d known I’d be at that.

About time this happened 😊

that's the thing....Guthrie probably is the best in the world. he's just breathtaking how good he is. how musical and technical he can be at the same time. i mean ... drive home may be the single most emotionally emersive solo ever recorded and he'd have no problems covering any Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, or Micheal Batio stuff. need a replacement for greg howe? call guthrie. Most guys who were that good would .. and would have an ego a mile wide. Guthrie is confident but thats it. It's astounding really.

I agree, in the sense that Guthrie is probably the best all round electric guitar player who has ever lived - from a technical point of view. But I'm sure he'd be the first to admit, without those players, he wouldn't be the Guthrie we know. What is truly remarkable is how Jason Becker used sweep picking in the late 80's for Serrana while the technique (in it's infamous form) was still in its relative infancy, or how Yngwie bought the neo-classical style to the guitar mainstream a few years after the whole punk thing.

Jazz guitarists were sweeping back in the 50's man and it was being introduced into rock music in the 70's. Sweep picking is sweep picking - there is no "infamous" form. I think the term you're looking for is metal wankery. ;)

damm Johnny Marr too

Hanz is doing a solid for himself and us. 👏🏼 👏🏼 I wish Guthrie continued success 🙌🏼

rock n roll. Dublin next Thursday I will be there :-)

The point with music and creativity is that we truly expose the best of our selves as a species. Since being a composer my self, I need to tell you this my fellow human beings... Music is not a competition. Is a contribution to our pneumatic living organism called, Civilization.

So awesome to see Guthrie Govan picked up by a legendary composer in this sort of setting. Guthrie is such a verstatile player

Guthrie is the greatest. Massive respect for him and just the way he approaches music. Very nice guy, too. So happy to see him doing well.

This two persons might be the best musicians in history

‘This man (Guthrie Govan) is about as good as you can get’ - Hans Zimmer

HZ: This man is about as good as you can get, and he is such a pleasure to be with.. GG: oouuh Brings there's in my eyes. The amount of respect is huge from both sides.

Guthrie Govan is a master of improv play.

So cool!

3:48 look at Guthrie's face.

I heard that a wormhole formed after hans and guthrie hugged. So glad they ok!

Makes me so happy that Guthrie is finally where he is supposed to be!!

aww errybody loves Guthrie

Hans... DVD//Blu-ray release, maybe? Or a tour on the other side of the world?

3:48- oh god, oh god, pressure, praise, arrghghhhh! At least that's what I'm getting from his expression, lol. About as good as you can get, sounds right to me!

2:30 He brought his 8string? Damn!

Guthrie is a phenomenal musician composer. I saw him not move out of second gear playing with vai and satriani.. he is without any argument the best all round player. and he gets better. such a nice person too

For his next record, it's looking like Steven is playing most of the lead guitar himself. Not positive if Dave Kilminster is on it at all, especially since he's likely been working on Roger Waters' next album and preparing for the tour. Steven is no slouch on lead himself, but has passed it off to people like Guthrie and Dave on the last couple albums and tours. I think SW's band now is more flexible, which it should be since it's his band. He said somewhere the only people he really cannot work without now are Nick Beggs and Adam Holzman, so that's probably going to be the core of his group from here on out, with people coming in and out.
