..and get sent back to reality.

+Kevin James Stevens but this is not reality; Guthrie is the stuff people dream about.

It's both. Such is the Nature of Guthrie.

he can teach a master class to musicians who teach master classes.

Just be the best version of yourself mate ;-)

totally

Gerald Francis 100% in agreement.

Also Joe Satriani: "I taught Kirk Hammett how to WAH"

I love Satriani so much but Govan is so cool and great! Both masters

I saw this comment and thought, "nah it can't be like that." Yeah, I'm laughing hysterically because that was pretty damn beautiful.

If a maj7 arpeggio is the most beautiful thing you've ever heard, your musical culture is worrying (but you wouldn't be the only one is that case, far from it alas)

If you think that's a maj7th arpeggio, your music theory knowledge is worrying- it's a c#m7 (minor 7th) (B C# E G#) and it's indeed beautiful. :)

+Flanger Kit fairly sure he just meant it was an maj7 not necessarily an a maj7, things can sound cool even if they're simple, that's for the other guy.

LOL, I felt the same way ("plays most beautiful thing I've ever heard") at 9:25

Actually the most absorbent and intuitive time frame to practice a day, for each technique or category, is five to ten minutes for the brain to absorb and take it in, to get better. Too much practice is pointless with guitar. In fact you'll notice, when you over practice you start getting worse. Depending on what your line is in the sand that is. Yes, people used to think that basically SLEEPING with and MARRYING your guitar playing it 24/7 is the best way. The fact is, muscle memory, accuracy, and memory in general, will benefit a LOT faster and a LOT more, when you practice however long it is, before you just start losing absorption space in your brain and muscles. It can vary obviously by who the person IS, but yeah, my whole point is, it doesn't really take that much, it takes about five minutes each technique. You make a list of what to practice for the week, then you rotate and change it up the next week, as to not get burnt out or bored too. So in total a day, you should be doing AROUND 30 minutes a day, once through all your things you want to target. Even if it's "how to hold your pick" that can take practice for sure. Lots of people make this mistake, and they end up spending YEARS trying to master this, when in fact, if they were to focus 100 percent for five or ten minutes of it instead, a day, they would have progressed way faster. I had to start completely over a few years ago after playing wrong for a good 17 years or so. Couldn't get past a certain speed or creative landmark. So I started taking lessons, and watching a SHIT ton of vids online. Started working on the priorities. Things you are SUPPOSED to learn BEFORE even learning how to PLAY guitar, economy picking, economy of motion, pick slants, how far we raise out fingers, how far we allow our pinkeys to come up off the fretboard, wasting space making you play slower. ..and even started utilizing the metronome way more often too. Lol Anyways sorry for the length of this, just some thoughts. :) not some know it all on the internet, just sharing my experience, hopefully it helps someone. If anyone needs any more information on what the journey of starting over correctly pertains to and how to do it hit me up. I'm more than happy to share. It really has helped tremendously.

GUTHRIE É O MAIOR GUITAR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS.

@@johnbraucher1499 if anyone would stop practicing once they get "burnt out or bored too" there wouldn't be any fighters. Obviously you are not a fighter or a guitar model. It sounds like you have ADD.

@@johnbraucher1499 and yet pretty much every big shredder says they played like 12 hours a day. so idk if i believe 15min is ideal. especially since in my first year and half of guitar.. playing 6 hours minimum every day.. i was able to play all of martys solo in rust in peace and the first half of far beyond the sun. which i dont believe i would have if i played 15 minutes instead.

@@sararichi1463 not really the most informed reply on your part. John makes a lot of valid proven points.

SWEET

Qazdar Karim Absolutely. No ego, so I'm proud to say he's way better than me!

because if you aren't a butthurt mediocre, you appreciate the fucking talent. So this is a compliment.

@@ReggiePostlethwaite Actually I think it's because he's so kind about it and is always so ready to share his knowledge, in fact every time I've seen him on camera he's been giving away helpful shit

The way he talks is almost as beautiful as his guitar playing

But steve vai is a hater(jealous) of him

+jkman10 lol

+jkman10 You're absolutely right; Guthrie got the name wrong; Selvaganesh is an incredible player in the same amazing band called "Remember Shakti". Srinivas is better known as "Mandolin Srinivas", a nickname that McLaughlin used to introduce him as, before his tragic early death. He was one of the greatest musicians I have ever encountered.

Yep well noticed

He’s a master percussionist and is featured on John McLaughlin’s brilliant video series on Konnokol rhythms.

Hilarious. That was my favourite part of the video.

Desired Sounds Jajajajajaja

Desired Sounds your kidding but I wouldn't actually be surprised if he was the one behind movements like djent

NightFiend, he’s so djent, he doesn’t even need an extended range guitar.

He could djent on a 3 string

The dude plays everything, obviously because he hears from everything as well

in an interview he mentioned back then he made money by sending tabs created from he transcribed them by ears for some years from every music demanded. so, this is why he plays everything, despite the fact that he is enjoying everything as well

I think it's harp harmonic lol

Ian Johnson his Godvan...

What the actual fuck I've just watched? He's not human, I refuse to accept it

I didn't know it was possible, how do you do it, serious question

@@frostinfy169 Looks like he's doing those 'finger harmonics' (no, that's not what they're called but essesntially check it out: Play like Fret 5 on the G string, then without letting go (letting that note ring) VERY LIGHTLY tap the 15th fret on the same string without ACTUALLY pressing down the string and you'll see that it makes a harmonic. Since most of those notes originate around the 5th fret, it looks like he's picking the chord with a pick but also lightly brushing that extened index finger over all the notes on the 15th fret (Very lightly, not actually pressing). That's my guess and nope, I haven't tried it out yet. That my son, I leave to you

You do know you can actually roll regular tobacco with those, right?

Alex Dm9 You two are funny.

Alex is right. Guthrie uses those to roll his own cigarettes, something few people do anymore. If you run into him in public sometimes it will look like he's smoking a joint, until you realize he just buys his own blends of tobacco and rolls his own cigarettes.

M. Goetz That's normal, but what about "Uncle Skunk" then?

Matteo Allegra Yea, it is. Most people just buy the pre made packs. Very few people roll their own, but it seems to be coming back a bit here.

Wena CTM!

+Luis Flores Guthrie is speaking as if on the the behalf of the djent community!!! "Mostly it's not about the notes, this style is not about playing an awesome memorable melody...But that's ok you're just trying to create a rhythmic vibe."
