His sense of melody is what I envy the most. Almost everything he plays fits, makes sense, is interesting and serves and elevates the song. That kind of ear is something that can’t be taught.

Funny because thats exactly how Shawn Lane envisioned one should be when playing the guitar: so fluid and well versed that it becomes as natural as speaking.

DEAR LORD that solo over "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" blew my mind

He is a person who understands the laws of nature according to Buddhism. He learns music just like we all learn languages. Freedom + love + passion + discipline is key here. He also travels to expand his musical ideas. His parents must have understood life for which we should be grateful because the music in the family inspired him to study music. So now we have Guthrie, guitar’s God We can all be gods! By understanding yourself and consciousness.

He is just a master in every genre and style. No comes close to Guthrie, this guy is like a fantasy, I can't believe he is real

I thought the same thing 😮 I then had the realization that all the classical string instruments are fretless. Maybe it has something to do with hearing blues type slide guitar played that way. Guthrie just has a way with the guitar that is so beyond yet so easy to listen to.

Fretless bass players and Guthrie here are the proof that electric fretless guitars could sound very good, but chords are very hard, in classical string instruments double stops are one of those medium-advanced techniques to do masterfully while in fretted guitar they’re one of the easiest techniques, the way Guthrie plays in tune is absolutely amazing

I always believed the source of Guthrie's powers was in his ears rather than his hands. His intonation on the fretless neck is a perfect example of that I think.

It seems like an age ago now.. and it probably was nearly 20 years, but I got to listen to Guthrie play live at the side of the stage with Richie Kotzen, and both of us just looked blankly at each other at the sheer brilliance of Guthrie's playing.

The Hendrix flurries were really beautiful and the shine on you crazy diamond backing track was amazing!

I love Guthrie's phrasing. A few long felt emotional notes to get you feeling good and then a burage of notes in seamless scales to slap you in the fac e to ensure you are paying attention. Like when a magician does a perfect trick and you are sitting htere stunned thinking, what the hell just happened?

Thanks bro

Next level playing. Not many players out there that can play like Mr G…

I'm glad I clicked on that one cuz this guy has got the feel and technique down pat and just blasts through it all with ease...a true player's player!

He's gone fretless now, this god of the guitar. Where will it end? Is he going to discard the guitar altogether and telepathically beam his solos into our brains?

Guthrie and Chris Buck. OMG.

It became the standard diatribe for a while there - starting in the mid 1990s - for the guitar ecosphere to try and drive home this paradigm where "you don't need music theory", you don't have to learn the technical scholarship of "music on paper". Thankfully that has subsided some in the past decade. Guthrie is evidence, as are Vai and John Mayer (and any Jazz guitarist) that in order to truly attain the "next level" you need to understand how chords and scales relate and how to use them. How to play music with color. Not to down simple music, ie Nirvana, RAtM, or Green Day, etc. It has it's place and is very good. However sometimes a power chord just doesn't provide the level of detail you get from a sus2/4 or a m7b9, a #11th, etc., etc.

Guthrie is probably your favorite guitarist's favorite guitarist. Unless Guthrie is your favorite guitarist, in that case it's probably Holdsworth or Gary!

Unworldly

He is so amazing. If you haven't heard Regret #9 take a listen. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5V8lKVrgcifZ7w.html I know it is orchestrated and a large production piece but here he is. Guthrie on a strat with bends and vibrato that develop the most tension possible in a guitar solo. This is Guthrie somewhat restrained by a fender stratocaster but by the end you know he wins. This video should have included this moment hands down.

The trick to seeing great guitar players is seeing them live in the span of a few days. l saw the Aristocrats at gas Monkey in Dallas and was blown away but the next night l saw this unknown guy at a seafood restaurant l was eating at that was better lMHO named Marbin or Danny marbin. lve seen great players tho going back to the early 70s.

Its funny how some people in the comments need to start comparing guitar players and who's better - it seems they have grown up in an environment that cannot accept the fact there can be multiple amazing things at the same time without one being better than the other. Like all the 5 basic elements have the same value. Nothing is greater or better than the other.

Incredible. Guthrie doesn't even need frets (5:00)

4:25 😂

Cacau Santos percussive sound

He is one of the best, clearly! Right up there in rare air. But like a lot of modern phenomenon, it’s like the talent but is their some personality of soul making new music that changes everything else? Not yet... I listento a lot of his stuff but I have not heard it yet.
