I met Guthrie at a John McLaughlin concert in Bangkok a few years ago. I told him how impressed I was that he had mastered so many different electric guitar techniques, and then I said, "You must have put in a tremendous amount of work." Without missing a beat, he replied, "If it felt like work, I wouldn't have done it."

In one interview, Guthrie said that he practiced the guitar every day after school but to him it wasn't "practice"; it was "playing". He said that if he had perceived it as practice, it would've felt uncool, not fun, and tedious and he would've probably not "practiced" at all and instead do other stuff which is fun.

+Dyami Corriveau I understand that. It makes me wonder if I should even try to be a musician sometimes cause practice is fun but also definitely tedious and frustrating for me at times. The whole prospect of being an aspiring musician is daunting and makes me very anxious sometimes. I guess I think about it too much, and also compare myself to those like Guthrie, or even other amazing musicians like Ravel, Debussy, The Beatles, Jacob Collier, the list goes on. I just want to be a skilled musician at the very least, but damn it's hard.

His answer was, "when we talk, do think of a verb and where the preposition is and what tense do you need to be in, and where does the noun live? No - you speak your ideas. Music should be communication like that, where you know the rules and don't have to think." ME: - er more study then......😁

​@It's in the book you are missing the point on different levels. First of all, I repeat what I said above: Guthrie is being presented as a guitarist and not as a songwriter here. He's no Lennon, and doesn't aim to be. I wouldn't go on the comments section of a video on Lennon's songwriting and criticize him for not being a great Jazz improviser. Or a car mechanic. But the main problem is that you are commenting on a video that you obviously haven't watched. The video is all about the phrasing in Guthrie's playing, and specifically *not* about the technique. Rick even emphasizes it very explicitly in 11:19, when he says "technique is so not part of this. It's all about flow and phrasing". Guthrie himself makes the point elsewhere, that when you're playing you shouldn't be thinking about which scale and technique you are using, in the same way that you are not thinking about the rules of grammar when speaking. If you think that 'feel' and knowledge are mutually exclusive and don't appreciate improvisation that's fine, but then you are on the wrong channel and wasting your time.

Guthrie Govan is the definition of what a virtuoso guitarist really is, someone who combines technical playing with proper phrasing and emotion.

There’s no other player in the world right now that comes even close to Guthrie. It’s just absolutely ridiculous how he isn’t just a guy who plays a bit of metal, a bit of country, a bit of jazz, etc., but rather, he completely OWNS all those genres and techniques. He does it all, and the craziest thing is that he does everything better than those who specialize in one particular style or technique. One in 7-billion kind of player for sure.

Thank you for this, Mr Beato. Growing up in Norway, I struggled to find my place in this world. Both my parents are creatives; my mother is a painter, and my father is a studio technician, producer, and guitarist. For some reason, I delved much deeper with visual arts than I ever did music. This I find strange since I've grown up with a recording studio in my house; grand piano in the hallway, B3 Organ in the studio, various instruments and guitars everywhere. There are photographs of me as a young child playing on guitars twice my size, and I have vivid memories of my first electric instrument that my father gave me; a miniature cherry red Telecaster (which I still have) that we used to play old rock riffs like Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, and The Rolling Stones on. Then, I can't even remember why, or when, it just stopped. I basically didn't touch an instrument until my 20's. I bought a Strat, which I picked up from time to time; I even got myself Rock-Smith and joined a school 'band' because I wanted to start playing. It didn't stick, though. I went on to do more visual arts for years, even starting on a bachelor's degree in illustration in the UK. However, that little spark in the back of my head never went out. I got myself a DAW, which (again) I only did sporadically. Life got in the way as usual, and I made myself ill by unknowingly fighting it; part of the reason I ended up doing visual arts is that it was "easy" for me, I never gave myself the time to become adept at music, so, in return, it was not "easy." As mentioned, I became ill, so I had to quit my studies in Wales. I moved back to Norway, where I was diagnosed with Adult-ADHD, and I'm awaiting assessment for Aspergers; this might have been just what I needed, though. I've had time to get into the art of composing, and I've had time to play the piano, guitar, ukulele, and other instruments. I've had time to delve into my DAW, and I've had time to experiment with both music production and mixing. Finally, the comfort of being capable again started appearing, and I have never felt so at ease. Your channel contains a plethora of information I never thought existed, or knew I needed; it has opened my eyes to how, and why music theory is not a hindrance for creativity, but rather a tool to expand on it. So, thank you, Mr. Beato. Thank you for sharing all of this. I have bought your book, and I'm looking forward to learning!

I was honored that he spent a moment with me. The concert was amazing. Sitting maybe 20 feet from him on stage, I remember one section cooking along in a REALLY fast 7/8, lights flashing, sub bass rattling my jingly bits, and Guthrie just screaming.

The first time I heard about Guthrie was back in 2011, playing live his "Wonderful slippery thing", and I was so thrilled because I could never find some specific guitar sounds, actually instrumentals, that were reflecting with me, until that one day... I liked that jazzy fusion, all the phrasing and "jockey" playing, so I kept watching other related videos with Guthrie and since then, his style of playing had such a bing impact on my guitar playing - just the right impact that I wanted. Sure at that time I was saying to myself how I could never be as good as him, but during these 8 years I actually realized how I don't need to be as good as him, but rather to be as good as myself, to play with the emotions that I have. I don't even know how I would play the guitar today if I haven't had watched that video in 2011. big big thanks mr. GOVAN! ;)

@necroyoli08

Actually he does sweep pick all the time, but unlike most guys he does it only in one direction and follows with something else, like some sort of wide stretch in the phrase, which builds up tension and then answers in a different, typically more conjunct way for release. Also, he almost never sweeps one note per string in every string, and that's why you never watch him do a full six string run when he goes for it; it's always a three, four string tops run in which he hammers or slides at least once, which breaks the run and makes it way too fluid for it to be recognizable as sweep picking.

This is really awesome! Thank you Rick, my new favorite channel!

Woah. An episode on Guthrie. Super exciting. His playing is just as eloquent and intricate as his manner of speaking. Man knows how to express himself. Absolutely one of the most incredible musicians ever.

Guthrie Govan is an absolute lord of guitar. Musically intellectual yet totally in control and brimming with taste and chops that seem beyond us mere human germs. Full on respect to you Mr. Beato for not only breaking him down to a slightly more digestible state but for proving yet again that you're not only a musical scholar to envy but a pretty nifty guitarist in your own right. Gorgeous tone by the way. Any chance of some insight into your chain? All the very best and much love!

Man! Absolutely. Such a fan of Govan for quite some time and more and more impressed w/ Mr Beato all the time on many levels. He had me at Frampton.

Amazing concept! Way to keep it fresh, man. Love Guthrie... My friend was a student of his and says he's the greatest guy. Assuming you won't limit this series to only guitarists? Would love an episode on John Bonham :P

i noticed your vibrato is coming from the soul and thats whats precious to me Rick

First video I see from this channel and I'm already in love with it!

Rick, how come you never kept this series going? Or did it just continue under a different name? It was such a good idea!

Guthrie is an example of how you can start to think when you break down every possible barrier technically. He is 100% focused on the music and I'm sure he doesn't even realize what he's actually doing. He thinks of an idea = it's being played just how he is imagining it. I've seen him live with Steven Wilson, The Aristocrats, and Solo (w/ Jon Finn and Nili Brosh). He is that good. Every single performance is unique and flavorful. His improvisations are so good, most professional guitar players likely couldn't even write, rehearse, and perform something of that caliber.

Never clicked on anything so fast before! I had some lessons with Guthrie back in the 90s...he was relatively unknown back then aside from writing for a UK guitar magazine. We all knew back then we were in the presence of greatness. So humble, such clarity when explaining things and he's all about making music..not just playing 'guitar'. I was a guitar geek (mainly listening to technical guitar...Vai, Satriani etc back then as a teenager) and I remember asking Guthrie who he was listening to at the moment. His response surprised me. He told me he was listening to lots of Bjork. It really made me stop and think...if Guthrie's listening to Bjork, maybe I should..maybe I should listen to a much wider variety of music. That really kicked off a lot of musical exploration for me and got me more into theory too. I owe Guthrie a lot for giving me a push in the right musical directions at an earlyish age. His enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and eloquence are some of the qualities that make him stand out.

I believe it is not an easy "move" by an artist to be that enthusiast of another artist, but you did! I love GG very much, and I have seen him here in Italy just before our lockdown, and the concert has been incredible. The feeling of phrases was already in my mind, but I wasn't able to focus on them. Thank you soooooooooo much from an Italian fan :)

@@DroneCorpse WTF are you talking about? Did your undies get in a twist over the terrible offense to Lil Wayne or a Jonas? Otherwise, how the heck does your post relate to any above it. And seriously, where is the offense even if you like those guys? I see lighthearted joking, and you take it as "bitter and hating"? How silly; lighten up and live in the real world where people can say silly things about celebs without causing brains to explode (except maybe yours). For my own contribution, I'd like to suggest Rick analyze the underrated sophistication of Adam Sandler's mastery of modern harmony on acoustic guitar and vocal accompaniment! Sheer musical genius!

Thanks, Rick. I always like your joyous videos!

Rick, thank you for another brilliant assessment of a song and the artist's music!

Guthrie is the guy who has no competition or comparison.

Never been a huge fan before, but I gotta say I really like how enthusiastic Rick is. Awesome video

A interview of Guthrie in your channel is a must! Love guthrie

Would love to see Steve Morse here.

I remember Neil Degrasse Tyson talking about Isaac Newton, saying "He CREATED a math that most people cant even LEARN!" THAT is Govan on guitar!

Thank you Rick! As always right on the money. So melodic.

I love the new thing that pops up for the Beato Book!
