You watch Guthrie for just a few minutes and you slowly but ultimately realize that this is what it sounds like when a musician has completely & utterly transcended any/all of his early influences. It's simply impossible to extrapolate backwards to what had been any earlier inspiration in the realm of guitar playing that Guthrie might have been moved by on the road to his current brilliance.

I remember buying Guitar Techniques Magazine every month, solely for his lessons (that came with a CD and backing track and his solo over the track), way back in 1996. I still have every month from 1996 to 2003. He was playing at this level even back then, almost 30 years ago. Guthrie is about two years older than I am, so he was playing at this level at least in his early 20's, and obviously before then since I didn't know about him until 1996. I agree with you, he just had an exponential growth at an early age, which is rarely seen. He directly spawned so much of what we see today on the internet, which I knew was going to happen once you could find all off the materials easily on the internet in about 2005.

IMO , the only other guitar player to have done that is none other that the mighty holdsworth , and he's a huge inspiration to guthrie .

@@ayoubramdoune Fully agree! And the point I touched upon in my original comment (the mystery of the influences) is even more valid in Holdsworth's case when you remember him admitting in one of his interviews that as a young lad he never really wanted to be a guitar player - he wanted to play a horn! And so, when you develop your melodic sense and phrasing on guitar by listening to e.g. Charlie Parker and Lee Konitz, the "influence trail" gets pretty murky if someone tried to chart it through the great guitar players of previous eras. With Holdsworth it was even more poignant when you listen (they're hard to find) to a few examples of what he'd do on the SynthAxe with the breath controller: he did sound like a horn player from the fourth dimension!!

@@derekbascombe7731 absolutly agree , you could hear a few blues guitar nuggets here and there especially his early work with soft machine , but once he got his own band , it kinda disappeared , he became more like the influence to other greats after him ( EVH , steve vai , guthrie , gambale , Mclaughlin to name a few .. ) .the only influence i cankinda hear in his playing is coltrane or at least his approach to improvisation ( maybe due to the fact that they studied the same book : Thesaurus of scales and melodic pattterns )

@@88omair Many top players (e.g. John Patrucci) can play various styles with some control and taste, but Guthrie can shred (and play musically!) myriad styles. He can even play jazz pretty well, though that is likely is weak spot as mastering jazz takes a lot of work--still he's likely better at it than many. Sure, his shredding is top notch, but it's his feel and taste that often get overlooked and put him at the top. If he wanted to just play tasty stuff and not all of the cerebral shred stuff, as cool as it is, he could be playing with or for anyone. He could be lead guitar in any top act and contribute.

This is the best thing I've ever seen.

I feel grateful to have witnessed these three live

I love this. I don’t know if I’m listening to a quirky Tom & Jerry tune, jazz fusion, or progressive metal.

Guthrie Govan is like a Wikipedia or grand library of guitar, SOOO MANY information from his playing, so rich of content.

Mind boggling how these three geniuses made the song sound 100x better than the album version. Just flawless. Also props to the director, this is the very best recording and editing of any performance I have ever seen.

That's awesome. Watching it feels more wholesome, colorful and dynamic than going to live shows myself. Guthrie said in one of his interviews that the Aristocrats is more about the interaction between the three musicians instead of technical displays of three individuals. I think your editing highlights that exact kind of interaction very well.

It’s like watching a bunch of geniuses working together, but simultaneously trying to out do one another. Brilliant!

you see Marco's drumming and you smile .... just like that

This band is way to stacked, all three members are flawless. Love it!

the real virtuoso with magical fingers dancing on the fretboard..

Such a shame that this gem dont have millions of views

Saw the Aristocrats in London. Will never forget it.

When are you doing a collab with Guthrie Govan @CharlesBerthoud? That would literally be the ultimate. 😮

Musicians of musicians... GG...living legend

Makes me smile when I listen too Marco and the boys, how humble they all are, and contrast that with that bag of wind Ginger Baker, and what he thinks of himself.

That is 3 incredible musicians.

From my home town of Chelmsford comes Guthrie Govan or so I believe 🙄 what a player and the other two are pretty amazing too.

Can’t believe an 8 minutes track seemed so short!

Editing done with love, well placed cameras, really got to enjoy the whole show, thank you.

Monstrueux musiciens. ..de la fusion parfaite! Du bonheur 😉

Guthrie Govan takes Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck in a vat of homogeneous glory. Yet, Guthrie is in a class of his own.

My personal opinion, if we ever make alien contact, I think sending them this video to explain what music is should be a prequisite. Just saying

That communication. 🔥🔥🔥

I would love to hear these guys with Dirty Loops....

What stunning talent. And those ringing chords around the 6:30 mark reminded me ever so slightly of the beginning of Luminol. It's probably just me though. Anyway, I think Frank Zappa would love this music, and I do too.
