It's not perfect but the funny thing is, he always plays it even better live, in front of thousands of people!

Spyro Chris I love this video of him doing it live perfectly and fistpumping himself right after like "YASSSS I got it !"

@@niupe705 Any link to this vid? :D

A simple example of it 😂😂😂

lol!

He's a very generous soul. God bless him.

A true genius, and a kind soul.

Well he knows everything, but can he teach you or me to do it? That's what teaching is.

@@50CJAZZ God? Seriously?

@@Pe6ek So teaching means... to teach? Seriously?

patrick dillinger 😂😂 nailed it.

Actually, the guy from Chords of Orion channel is the Bob Ross of music.

patrick dillinger A happy little lick here

Exactly!!

That is so true hahaha

Robbie Smith Well, he is an English guy. About the guitar, ummm... He is a god. So, jealousy won't work.

Robbie Smith hahahah

He dropped out of Cambridge to work in McDonald's and play guitar. Tells you all you need to know... Apart from why he's so skinny.

He studied English at Oxford. What else could you expect from him? 🥴

@@chriscolabella880 There's a reason why he's a guitar god and i barely can play a powerchord...he practices! There's no time for food.

Hes got a very high IQ i bet

I'm just going to sell my guitars now.

@@solocam1962 Dumb thing to say. Practice and you'll be just as good as him. You have hands and a brain. Theres nothing you cant do on a guitar physically he couldn't.

It's a fucking joke.

Na dude, the joke is that guy thinks you can just practice alot and 'you'll be just as good as Guthrie" Yeah, and there is the sense-of-humour-bypass thing as well to be fair.

So it is 3 years later, how did it go for you?

LimitIsIllusion My god, how have I not heard of this guy?

Gutherie's fucking awesome. Probably one of the most versatile guitar players on the planet.

He reminds me of Paul Gilbert in that he's amazing at explaining things.

Finally someone who explains stuff properly, easy to understand for any level of guitar player and incorporating all the issues and habits, a practicing guitar player has to deal with. Watching petruccis rock discipline, you do get shown a path, but you feel kinda hopeles, cause petrucci does still seem to never had any trouble or never even had to put any thoughts and efforts into what he is explaining and doesnt go into detail and for exmaple, how to achieve even playing vlean before even upping the metronome in the first place.

petrucci never talks musicality in his instructional videos. actually many guitars do not, but Guthrie does and thats awesome

DaltonThomas Christmas ham with that Jingle Bell bit around 2:00 minutes. Lol

Dalton, thank you. That was genuinely funny. I needed that today. My friend, have a great week. Spiral cut, honey cured? I can smell it.

I met Joe Satriani - he's got much smaller hands than me.

Fists of Ham is a good band name.

? I thought he was going, Star Wars theme?

Yup. And: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7yqftyB19u0l3U.html

LMAO at that part! Love it!

I watched the video of Gurhrie, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani the other day, and I have to say, Guthrie makes them both look like amateurs. Just my opinion, I know I'll catch some flak from the Vai, and Satch fans but it's true.

Yeah, and you won't believe, but I can, too.

Nope, star wars theme

He's at least 12 feet tall!

His leg is bigger than me.

Rextryte Bastard... Sadly, Guthrie is yet another example proving the “Guitar Gods are arrogant dicks” cliche.

I get the Simpsons reference but his teeth really aren't that bad. Is it just because he's English?

@@Britishwolf89 Not that bad,? They look like wart hog tusks for fucks sakes.

xsited1 😂

thought exactly the same.

+Albert Sirup I was about to comment on that, then checked if someone else already did. Couldnt imagine Id be the first to notice. Noisegate in those guitar channels in general is starting to bug me heavily, lately. For some reason.

Yeah, no need for overkill on the noise gate. Very annoying.

Kurt Adams You have to be able to hear how the sound completely cuts out when he’s not talking. It’s very annoying.

I just looked up “enervate”...’to cause someone to feel drained of energy or vitality; weaken, lacking in energy or vitality. You probably meant irritating. Signed...he loves language and refuses to accept auto-correct as my master. (Unless I’m wrong and it really does drain you, then in that case I say “good use of enervate” !!!!!!!)

gh3rulz69 He's referring to the great pianist Art Tatum; look him up.

+Saturax LOL, he has that look of just being caught doing something he shouldn't.

I relate - but next time try closing your eyes and listening. Not trying to insult you at all. I'm guilty of judging musicians by appearance too. Like the song goes, "video killed the radio star". Even now, sometimes I have to remind myself that it's all about the music.

Some people discover an aspect of their instrument that makes an idea easy and think they must be cheating. I know as a young guitarist I tricked myself out of certain things because I assumed it was too simple and therefore wrong since I was used to struggling. Also some players get it in their head that things must be done a certain way and all other methods are lazy hacks; Al di Meola thinks this of legato and hammer-ons, every note *must* be picked in his view. Obviously we don't all agree on that one, and he wouldn't sound the same if he weren't so assiduous in picking everything, but calling it "cheating" is subjective

No. Sounds as good as he plays.

He sounds great

Not as irritating as your pathetic comment...

Jim Stonecut ...Mr Govan gives up his time to produces an excellent video imparting some of his immense knowledge, asking for nothing in return and all you can do is grumble about gate noise ...get a life and don't be such a twat.

yes.. its unnecassary. and as you say irritating.

More like 0.20%

Yes.

Yes

Phaellos no. He's Guthrie Govan

God will piss his pants in front of him.

No! he made God. He’s God’s God.

His fluidity is top notch. With practice, you can barely move your finger but still tap the note strong enough, e.g. bruce lee gung fu punch! Check out my tapping on Rondo Alla Turca, it's a good example of how finger strength is part of good technique to play in this style!
