It happened similarly to me several years ago, a few years after I started playing guitar. Better late than never! It's all about enjoying these incredible artists. :)

Same here

Well, I got tired of shred in the 80s, so I learned jazz, and then I remembered a particular type of jazz that I love the most: Beatnik Jazz. My goal was to come out with Modern Beatnik Jazz as an alternative to shred. I still like shred, but Beatnik Jazz is a nice, laid-back escape into another kind of cool-land. I was hoping to get a band together and just play my Beatnik Fusion, but Ifinding the time and the people who can follow it is tough. In addition to being a good player, it requires getting the right feel for it.

seriously!!

yeah, right?

I think he played a lot of jazz in his younger years with his band the fellowship, when he's not that famous yet

He plays jazz all the time, maybe it's just not bebop

It's because he worked as a professional transcriber for so many years before he became a professional guitarist and all that information transferred down to his playing

I thought same

That must be a flute

That is actually me when I attended this fine Freak Guitar Camp

Lit major...

He dropped out of Oxford, he was studying English Literature and ended up working in McDonald's... Which is absolutely crazy but I don't think that anyone would want it any other way :)

Ryan Bailey "self-taught" is a broad term... Those who desire to learn any discipline ( e.g. Guitar/ Painting/ Photography/sport, you pick one ...) put in the time on the "instrument" and in the books...we are all just sharing from a common pool of knowledge from those who have gone before; hoping to put a bit of personal spice or flare, something instantly recognizable as "You". And Guthrie, I believe learnt his kindergarten lessons on sharing better than most of this worlds egotistical shred posers will ever understand, When it come to guitar NO ONE is "a guitar god" some are just far more diligent in the pursuit of personal excellence than others, and for this Guthrie is indeed a Player worthy of much distinction and accolade; His public displays of humility make me believe he too would say there is NO "ONE best" guitarist...knowing the truth is there are a very many great ones from whom there is much to learn as they share, but it is only for those who have learned to listen not only to the notes but the narrative as well.....

martyisabeliever Do you ever see a comment that so perfectly describes something and you don't want to ruin it with a crappy reply? This is one of those comments

Ryan Bailey well thanks Ryan

Incredibly put! That’s the living learning lesson of jazz. All sounds can be harmoniously arranged by training your body to externalize your ear!

Diego Pujol so you think you're special?? i can play the chord you hear on 0:01 as well :)

tonydjangolopez Please teach me!!

Diego Pujol I think its just a regular dominant 7 major 3rd chord.

Diego Pujol easy it's G#maj7 try this 2 positions: first 4-X-X-0-4-3 second 4-X-X-5-4-3 Guthrie used the first n.n

Emmanuelle de jesus you're wrong. there's much more behind that chord.

What did you expect him to do, jump up and tear off his shirt? 😂

true

Nah bro he got the swing

Yeah, if I wanna hear jazz I dont go for Guthrie but when I just wanna enjoy a genius minds curiosity he is my go to player.

and by that comment, you sir win the internet... =)) It made my day

***** I was at Guthrie masterclass in Indonesia, and i asked him about this video and Guthrie admit it himself that he was just "messing around" with the solos (1:32 and 1:50 onwards), I've seen him improvise over Herbie Hancock's tune and he's much 'scarier' than this.

I don't know why the term "real jazz" irks me so much. It just does. A jazz musician should be able to interpret jazz tunes in whatever way they see fit. If they didn't. then they would cease to be an "artist".

aint no fucking thing as real jazz

Or rather, there's no such thing as fake jazz, innit.

Evan Slack I want a t-shirt with your comment on it

the tone dude

It completely changes the way you play. If you want to play jazz and have the sound and tone of a real jazz musician you really have to use a hollowbody. And bends really aren't considered proper in the world of jazz guitar but you can bend on a hollowbody

A PROPER JAZZ GUITAR, there's no such thing. Simply, when GIBSON presented the Hollow, Carved, Archtop guitar to the world, IT soon replaced the BANJO in many bands, the banjo having much greater volume ability over flat top / flat back guitars. Having the archtop and back increased the acoustic guitar's VOLUME potential over flat top / flat back guitars, to meet that of the banjo. Subsequently electric amplification pickups were added to the Hollow, Carved, Archtop guitar for even greater volume, bringing unwanted "feed back" with them. Les Paul wanting to fight off this "feed back" problem, affixed an electric amplification pickup into his invention, the ELECTRIC, SOLID BODY GUITAR, with OUTSTANDING Success. The Fender Telecaster was presented to the world as the first mass produced S/B Electric, "Spanish Style" guitar in 1951; "players quickly realized that Fender had given them something... well-designed, easy-playing, efficient, rugged, affordable and, above all, great-sounding." [ credit the last 21 words beginning with "players quickly realized..." to: www.fender.com/articles/gear/the-one-that-started-it-all-a-telecaster-history ] TELECASTER the word, came from "television" a new medium, and "broadcast". The guitar was very plain Jane in appearance though. In 1953 JAZZ guitarist ,TELECASTER user, and WW2 veteran Jimmy Wyble, in his debut album "The Jimmy Wyble Quintet" had his ability in JAZZ on display. Thereafter, he worked with JAZZ men Barney Kessel and Benny Goodman. He also worked his guitar with Red Norvo for eight years, including touring Australia with powerhouse Frank Sinatra. NUMEROUS other JAZZ guitarists have chosen the TELECASTER as their "Proper Jazz Guitar" to steal your words. Fender's STRATOCASTER guitar body shape resulted from a desire to create a guitar that was MORE comfortable on a SEATED guitarist's lap, a position many JAZZ musicians took while performing! HOW ABOUT THESE jazz GUITARISTS on Strats?: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMCJhcynmtTSoXU.html - LET'S RECALL JAZZ GIANT LES PAUL again, as GIBSON presented the "Les Paul" model S/B, Electric, ARCHTOP to us in 1952, with it's Gold Colored top and two P90 electric amplification pickups. GIBSON wanted to offer a High End, beautiful looking instrument to JAZZ musicians, as opposed to the plainer looking FENDER products. We could go on, but you get my point I'm sure. A Proper Jazz Guitar is created in the hands of excellently skilled JAZZ guitarists, NOT by those building the guitar. Best regards!

@ Cummings, No, you don't have to use a 'hollowbody'. Not even close. Guys like Ed Bickert didn't 'discover' that Telecasters had 'good Jazz tone'. They just didn't get sucked into the bullshit paradigms that influence kids like you, did their own thing and demonstrated that 'tone' is one of the most overrated and stupid things in guitar music.

@BigFiveJack Yes a good musician can play jazz on any guitar and in fact, when it comes to fusion music, solid body guitars have been the preference of many guitarists for years (they are more versatile for effects as well as both clean and distortion tones). But when it comes to straight ahead jazz, the thickness of a good archtop is undeniably more suitable and the reason why the VAST majority of guitarists, when they play straight ahead jazz, do so on an archtop. It has nothing to do with feedback, otherwise there would be no reason for george benson to tape his f holes playing an archtop in stadiums when he could just grab a solid body.

Allan Holdsworth is amazing, of course. I'm sure there are hundreds of dozens of guitar players among which not one can be considered the best, but I've been listening to top level guitar players for 20 years and, before Guthrie, I though I had seen it all.

***** Oh, and I know defining someone as "the best" in music is impossible. I just can't find a different way to define how much I enjoy this guy's playing. I'm sure there's a 5 year old somewhere that will run circles around him some 20 years from now.

art isnt something that can be compared, there is no "best" per say. Would you compare painting or sculpture the same way?

paul43700 That's the easy answer.Guitar playing is art, but not only art. It takes skill, and therefore, it can also be partly seen as sport, due to the fact that one gets better over time, as he practices. During the practice years, a guitar player will find out the things that are more difficult for him to play, and gets a grasp of how long it would take for him to master a certain technique or a mental skill... and then you see a guy who can do everything you can do and more, so you are right to say "he is better than me". Again: Guitar playing is music, so it's art, but it's also "sport", and there's nothing wrong with that.

we have really different views on this subject then. I guess shredding is kind of a sport though, I get that. I think the end goal of a guitarist is not to have the best technique ever, it is to compose music. And imo, Govan isnt even close to the "best" when speaking of composition. Then thats definitely a matter of taste. But I agree, govan is one the most technical player out there

that moustache..no homo

TheSnelly101 eventually, but it will take a few generations

TheSnelly101 yes he is great but u can find buskers just as good. but u won't find another slash out there . I know I will get laughed at for saying this. But it's the truth

+James Adcock You're right. You did get laughed at.

seeing more of Guthrie I will take that back coz he really is a great player. I was commenting with green ears

James Adcock Well, that's rare on the internet :) Hats off to you for having an open mind. I'll also take back what I said.

Is because his improvisation lacks of musicality. Maybe he has a lot of technique, harmonic knowledge and speed, bur there is no a good phrasing in his solo, there are moments where you just hear like excercices, scales played very fast up and down, there is not much motif, its just a non jazzistic vocabulary. Pd: sorry for my english jajaj

totally disagree if you listen to his albums especially West coast grooves they're very musical. I've not heard any other guitarist that can turn his hand to any musical style and play like he's been playing that music all his life. the man's a genius!

Leo D. Calle obviously you have never listened to the Erotic Cakes album

It relies in a simple fact: subject incomprehension (or lack of feeling for it). You 've got an example of it, for instance, in Daniel Beta comment (no offense).

I'm not sure, but he rushes the 8ths notes at the start of the solo and from then I feel like he needs to leave some space and come in again. But apart from that all the notes he played were super nice, I find the first super fast run didn't really work that well. But on a whole way better than I could play

Sorry but no, he was in the right key, and a player of that caliber don't mess an improvisation by 1 fret. Distraction has nothing to do with ear, obviously he can miss 1 note (not in this improv tho) but not miss all the improvisation by 1 fret, that only occurs on people absolute begginer that have no ear at all

@@cirobarbagelata7194 at :44 he is playing the wrong notes. You either are not familiar with the tune or you "have no ear at all". He started of right but then when he turned his head, the notes were wrong and it seems he was just 1 fret too low. Yes, he most certainly DID mess it up. Maybe you are not a musician?

​@@TruthSurge I'm guitarist and you certainly are a troll, he didn't mess any note at 44s. If u want to think that ok, clearly u have to tune yours ears.

@@cirobarbagelata7194 I've learned that you can't argue with people who are clueless. So, adios and good luck, my friend!!!

@@TruthSurge If you were a "musician" as you consider yourself, you'd know that "wrong notes" shimmer up the atmosphere, there are no wrong notes by a real virtuosos.

He's a famous guitarist .....

Louis B bop players swing too lol guthrie is definitely swinging here though

ssb not necessarily swingin hard enough for pretencious jazz enthusiastics

Tarun Majumder Spoken like a person who can't do any of it.

Sorry, but AC/DC just isn't musically talented

Mister Meister the fuck does that have to do with anything?

Mats Hilmer I know what Donna Lee is, but listening to some dude noodle all over it is boring to me. Even if he is super talented.

Shining Trapezoid Yeah you must be into metal or something.

This is Charlie Parker and Benny Harris tune

Do your homework , Miles Davis composed the tune in 1947. Parker was credited for the first recordings.

max castellanos Do Your home work . The songwriter credit is to Charlie Parker.

Do your homework Miles Davis is infamous for stealing tunes by his members to get royalty money. Charlie Parker wrote Donna Lee, Bill Evans wrote Blue in green.

Miles NEVER composed this tune and at the time this tune appeared, Miles couldn't even play over this tune well... AT ALL. However, Miles said he wrote it, because Miles did shit like that. Nothing about this tune is Miles.... AND Miles couldn't even play the head on trumpet anyhow. Every historian known Miles never did, nor could write this tune. It was 100% Parker's vocab. (I'm a University Jazz professor btw who spent 17yrs teaching in the World's Best Jazz performance school).

ok, you play some Bird now... ok... still waiting... and...go!

Why? What if he's a drummer who has been playing with amazing guitar players... to have an opinion on a player you do not need to be better than him or even as good. Guthrie is probably the best player in history, but we can still prefer other people's versions of some songs he plays.

Well he is more versatile convincent than anyone of us!.

it's bebop mate

chrisparks22 hey you must listen to a lot of bird and know a lot about jazz! Cool man, thanks for sharing!

I think in one interview he said that practicing to the point where you can play while having a conversation or watching The Simpsons is more important than practicing speed.

He is just a medium, like a string puppet. A lot of people doing incredible stuff are like this. Maybe he does not even know and believe that the skills are his. Sound insane? Humanity has been hijacked. NJ.
