The thing that separates Guthrie from others when emphasizing speed, it that he doesn't lose touch with melodic content. Mood, emotion and technique are on display big time. There's a purpose for every move he makes. What a talent. Cool guy too.

@PartialS 5 жыл бұрын

It's the c-o-n-t-r-o-l the guy has. As much control playing long bends as he does when playing 32nd notes, his sense of humour coming through all the time as he stops and starts, never seeming to let his ego forget where everybody else is. So many people can play fast, but stopping at the right time is powerful.

lol I love how I can scroll through the comments to this and arrive at one essentially stating how this isn't really "music" and it's just heaps of notes with fancy technique and then an adjacent comment is entirely praise for how melodic and musical he remains despite being such a high tech shred machine. Personally, I love this style of playing because it's so mentally engaging and really comes across as though Guthrie loves doing it, which makes me love it more and want to attempt it, too. But fucks sake, if you don't like shred or fusion guitar involving lots of notes and techniques being thrown at you, you are only providing yourself and the rest of us a disservice by bothering to watch the performance and act like it's no big deal and is boring and unmusical. Plus with someone like Guthrie, you don't just stumble upon his shit by mistake. You knew what you were getting into rofl

Guthrie is one of the most complete guitar players I've ever seen. He is capable of playing any style of music and just like Lufie Alice said he has a very clever way of putting music together. He's definitely one of my favorites and one of the top players in the world today. I've given up trying to figure out who the best is anymore, too many great players to narrow it down. Now I just enjoy the music when I hear someone that great.

@glennman0922 5 жыл бұрын

What I love about Guthrie is his command of speed. Especially that in between speed that you usually only see advanced jazz guitarists have. Not too slow, not too fast but flowing, smooth lines. Hard to put into words but if you’re a player you know what I’m talking about.and in my opinion it’s much harder to pull that off than putting a million notes into a measure.

@javierschiefelbein4084 3 жыл бұрын

exactly, especially because every single one of those notes has a purpose to serve, and they match the relevant notes of the chords in the background. it's mentally exhausting to pull off, so seeing him do it so flawlessly and without breaking a sweat is just bonkers
