Never have I thought ever that Brett Garsed would interact my video. Big respect to you Sir! Cheers

Wow. Great to see this comment.

Brett you are too humble! Guthrie is no doubt terrified by your abilities as well my liege.

sir if youre selling, what about us mere mortals

Brett Garsed > Guthirie Govan. U'r clean at fast passages (yes Govan is not synced) and you sound muuuuuuuch more interesting. But this is just my opinion. 🙃

me and me both brother, yours sincerely, earth

Allan Holdsworth is the Tesla of guitar. Guthrie is great but Allan is on a whole different level. Guthrie hits a target that nobody else can hit, Allan hit a target nobody else knew existed.

@@Finn-fq6dt Apropos Wardenclyffe Tower.

@@Finn-fq6dtmuch more to it than that. Love them both.

Tesla is overrated

Most people don't realize that to make it to the level EVH did was beaches was not only extremely good but knew how to write music that would sell to the general public, very catchey sounding stuff with the technical in it also, this guy may be considered even better than EVH but only to other musicians and that's because he's mostly technical which to the general public is quite boring they can't really grasp it so even though this guy has quite the notoriety he will never reach the level of fame that EVH did, I know many will get upset and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about but deep down inside they know it's true, commercial sells that's just the way it is, I've heard so many say EVH wrote the soundtrack of their lives and for them he actually did although this music is technically very good it's never going to even reach the highest of Van Halen's least popular song.

Simp!

@@dmacrolens hooked

good description 👍

The band members need equal props, that bassist is f++kin wicked, keyboard, drummer everybody else... Its more than an egotistical, ' backing track. lol

@@st.fiacre6685 for sure. I think that's the point. It's nothing without them.

Guthrie himself would laugh at this statement. Ever heard of a bloke by the name of Allan Holdsworth?

@@Finn-fq6dt I´ve pretty much single-handedly listened to only guitar based music for the last 5 years, and I´ve played for 7 years myself. I´m familiar with the greats. Holdsworth, Gambale, Timmons, Friedman so on. Guthrie´s imrpovising though, is firmly on another level, melodically, harmonically and technically.

I consider Keith Jarrett 'of our age'. So, with all due respect, not even close.

You couldn’t be more off base and Guthrie would tell you that himself. Listen to flat tire or any of Allan’s live shows. He sounds like he’s got different notes than everybody including Guthrie. Guthrie lines are milk toast and easy to understand what’s going on compared to Allan’s alien vocabulary. Allan is on a whole different level Guthrie would tell that you much

@@Finn-fq6dt I do agree that Allan certainly has some exotic alien-like lines that are unlike anything else. City nights would be a good example of that. Allan is obviously a fantastic player. I've seen a lot of Allan's live shows, I've been to many of Guthries shows. Guthrie is a technically better improvising player. I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. "What Guthrie would say" is a poor argument, he's the most humble guy there is!

Blows most people. There are other terrifying guitarists out there too..

​@@emmanuelarinze22511000% there is dude. Scarey the talent out there. Just think Guthrie has the widest array of skills and improvisation. Just my opinion.

Couldn’t agree more. The greatest.

I assume you’re talking about living guitarists.

@emmanuelarinze2251 living or dead IMO. Bold statement but just my 2 cents.

just noticed this show was on my birthday 🤘

5... Guitar God

England has so much to be proud of, but Guthrie man.... I can't help but imagine a long and ancient line of minstrels and king's court entertainers over the last 2000 years passing their genes down down down to distill.... Guthrie Govan.

@@ZippyLeroux Just a wee reminder he has Scottish blood flowing in his veins too as his father was Scottish and you can't get much more Scottish than GOVAN. I'm quite sure many will be back tracking to try and claim a wee part of this magnificent musician and I don't blame them at all. Peace.

@@ChicTumshy Quite right you are sir. My humble apologies. Though to me, the difference is ultimately cultural and historical; the Scottish and British isles gene pool is sufficiently ancient, small, isolated, and intermixed, as to make no genetic difference to the production of a 50 something year old master musician. Excuse me while I DUCK for cover after this comment lol!

@@ZippyLeroux He! He! I'll duck with you. Hey Zippy no need to apologize as I understand your enthusiasm to embrace Guthrie and adopt him as your own (think I'm describing myself here or am I describing most guitar oriented musicians?) Ultimately, I think I must agree with many commentators on the Tube that he is not of this earth. Have fun.

Tune’s called “Visions II”. Yet to be recorded, tho that may change

Small, far away!

mark mondesir

He's awesome!

And the amazing laurence cottle on bass

All for a goos cause:) hooe you enjoyed.

Yes!!!

I've seen him jam with Ron Bumblefoot Thal, Christophe Godin, Paul Gilbert and a few others on KZfaq videos.

Dude, this is melodic gold to me. I cannot stop listening to it because of how good it feels. Sounds damn fantastic to me.

Well stop listening Complaining and moaning and thank your lucky “star” we don’t GAF

Let it all out 🎻

Every single note played here has its place and definitely not forgettable. This what makes him unique in fast paced playing. He plays an entire 1.30 min long slow part in the solo at the beginning of his lead part, every single note emphasised! And when the moment is right bpm goes up, just like humans, sometimes you talk slowly sometimes you talk fast when you get excited. When they told Mozart ‘too many notes’ he went Mozart: ‘ no there as many as needed’. I recommend you to watch other video of him playing an eastern melody.

@@PamaPamapop I've been watching him for years, he's a supreme talent there's no question. Every solo he does, aside from perhaps the music he interprets for others has a part that includes some ridiculously fast run of the sort he always throws in. If you watch other renowned 'great' players they all mix their solos up. In some cases there's no solo at all, or it's just a part to embellish the music that doesn't require flourish. Guthrie is without doubt one of the best technicians playing today, but he's predictable in the sense of knowing at some point in the song there will be a run that includes hundreds of notes that you can barely decipher and that makes him frustrating to listen to for me personally.

Once you said 20 Billion notes … that’s when you lost all respect …you skipped the fact that it took years to play every note to perfection …you are so far behind the the modern guitarist you might as well stop listening

:) at some point I lost the control of camera and recorded ceiling !
