Never expected to see Guthrie on the same stage as Johnny Marr, awesome

He is the evolution of a guitar player. He can adapt to any genre seamlessly with rhythmic perfection with feel.

All moments are BRILLIANT with Gutrhie Govan

People rave about his technique but what is more impressive to me is that he can just follow any chord change in any type of music and make things fit in his own way.. it’s just unbelievable

There are many greats, but Guthrie is the best guitarist that’s ever walked the face of the earth. The most complete. He has it all.

I have never in my life heard something like what he does in 1:40, not in a blues solo, not anywhere by anyone. Absolutely love it, sounds like a Tchaikovsky riff in a blues solo holy bleep it's incredible and gorgeous

I have a ton of guitar heroes who when I watch them think they are just amazing. I hate to use the term best or greatest. When I watch Guthrie however I really feel he is the greatest guitarist of our generation. He can play forever and never play the same thing twice and it is like his technique takes a back seat to his musical intellect and creativity.

How can anyone can be so good. God bless Guthrie!

3:18 Such an amazing guitarist AND he has five McDonald's stars.

An incredible player. He's the best I've ever seen, and there are some awesome axe slingers out there....

The emotional faces Guthrie is pulling in purple rain, epic

He is Guitar's Gandalf. To all others he says. "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

Unlike so many "shredders" Guthrie doesn't hide behind gobs of gain. You can actually hear his fingers interacting with the strings and the wood of the guitar with all the dynamics that entails.

Guthrie is looking like a wizard these days.. maybe he is.. He sure is working magic on the frets.

Thanks for putting this together. It's appreciated.

Unbelievable... wow... I can describe just about anything.., but THIS...??? No way!!! HAHAHA!!! This is insanity and I am utterly amazed at everything he plays!!!

Great collection probably one of the best compilations on here.

Stupendous ! He's worth striving for !!!

some rare footage here! thanks for sharing

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICIENT !!

So in the zone all the time...beautiful player.

His soloing reminds me of the great Paco de Lucía, leaving style differences aside, of course. The clarity and precision while telling actually something.

Guthrie Govan = GENIUS 😊💯💯💯💯💯💯💯✌👍

Wot a rare collection there, Bruh! 👍💪 And, to truly describe the Guitar Player that Guthrie is -- NO WORD(s). 🤔🔥👑

only the best!

It’s hard to be super prescriptive regard the best of anything, but if someone could point me in the direction of any guitarist anywhere, alive or dead, who can transpose himself in to any song, in any genre, in any style and seamlessly integrate himself with such a range of skill, feel, and precision then I really really want hear that person play. GG is like a memory bank, a human Chat GPT of guitar players. If there’s something he can’t do I’m not sure anyone’s born witness to it, and we probably only see 5% of what he can do anyway. Absolute genuine one off total genius.

Amazing!

He lives in you. That fucking killed me

Guthrie is transitioning into Gandalf

Prince is sometimes called a guitar hero (by fools). Especially his performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and the "Purple Rain" solo get singled out as particularly brilliant by his fans. And then GG comes along and outdoes both Prince and everyone else without even trying. Hell, I was surprised at how restrained his "Purple Rain" solo was here......and yet, it's light-years above what Prince was capable of. GG just shits out music like the overlord of the universe.

00:43 i would not want to be the guy to go after guthrie

I honestly can’t believe the cameras didn’t give Guthrie a proper highlight during his solo in the first clip. That’s *the whole point* of a solo, to highlight a member of the band for a portion of the song. I mean, at least one cameraman tried to (from a bad viewpoint) but for the other guy who had a perfect view to be like “yeah, cool or whatever” almost feels insulting.

Guthrie looking like Gandalf.

The more I dig into his videos, the more I realize Guthrie can pass as one of the Wrong turn hillbillies

I mean obviously I wasnt there to witness this in person but. The He Lives in You solo deserved a better goddamn mixer.
