not at the same level of Paco de Lucía but close, top 2 imo.

You better put sum respec on Django's name.

Well, playing in the same level isn't that hard tbh, with lots of hours and the right training you can achieve that, hard thing would be able to compose anything he has ever composed haha, i can play some of the hardest songs that most guitarrists play, but i think i would never compose something in the same level i play =/

Gutheri is the God of the era....

​@@SlayeCohen"isn't that hard" okay buddy lmao

Because those guys have created great albums and Govan hasn't. They are more well rounded musicians, Govan is an incredibly good session guitarist. When it comes to actually writing music he hasn't really produced anything that phenomenal. Take his solo project Erotic Cakes for instance. There is very little there that non guitarists would find interesting about it. Govan works best with other musicians directing the concept and style of the music. His own music sounds like generic You Tube backing tracks with solos over the top. Incredibly good solos, but it takes more than that to produce a brilliant album.

Bcz the list is for mortals.

@@CouncilofOneElectronic dude....please, don t

@@Hadri_ART Don't What? Tell the truth? Being nominated for an award means people need to have heard your music to nominate you. Nobody knows who Govan is except guitarists so therefore he will never be nominated for anything. Get over it.

@@CouncilofOneElectronic don t put shame on yourself, stop saying bullshit. You probably don t know music nor guitar enough. Govan changed the guitar world back in 2006 (and later in 2011) with his album erotic cakes. Your judgment of his work only based on popularity is just stupid. Govan did an incredibile amount of tunes and famous solo, but he never did music he didn t love just to become popular. The fact that he is less known than other guitarists as slash, is simply because he is a more sophisticated musician and not anybody listen to his kind of music. Obviously justin Bieber is more popular than him too, but anyone smart would say bieber has more musicianship than him. Slash isn t half the musician that govan is and if you knew something about music, you would know this (and i love Slash by the way). The fact that hans zimmer chose govan to play on his world tour should make you think about how good and important as a musician he is. Je doesn t care about popularity, he isn t a rock star, he always played mainly jazz/fusion (even though he can shred as malmsteen or gilbert and can also play every kind of music). The fact he s less known is just because people (like you) are ignorant about music and usually the masses have bad taste and poor music knowledge. That s why pop exists and it s so popular

there are 16 dislikes as well.. lol

Eveet

Probably. The vocals didn't sit well with me at all.

I also kind of like them.

I very much like the ways John Payne's vocals. OK

drenator I meant it's a beautiful song at all. Listen at the album too; and superb lyrics.

I like the vocals, suits the song.

+sariyan gurung dude same

If it helps, you can download a free app called JamUp, and you can slow down the song all that you want. That's how I learned it (except for the solo, haha). It's a difficult song, still!

ambitious enough to learn this solo? ambitious to figure it out by ear.

Which tuning does the guitar have?

@@DiegoPujolT which tuning is it in? Just tell me that. He's playing a G# minor

Rasgueado

OK. But, Kevin, please...

5:05 ?? No ? I think he wanted to shred the scale up but he got stuck in the middle so he creatively switched to the arppegios ? I suck I know...

+Kevin Frederiksen 4:14 ...LOl:)

He is a Great Guitar Player. Every Guitarist has " missed a note " in a live performance ( at one time or another ) and that includes: Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson, David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Steve Howe, Tommy Emmanuel, Steve Stevens, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Al DiMeola, & Carlos Santana = All Phenomenal Guitar Players ( among many others / not mentioned ). Still an Awesome Performance.

he does not miss because he is simply improvising

incredibly rare mistake by the GOAT

SNAKY Good old Payne! I used to think he was the absolute embodiment of pop-prog 1980's cheese vocals until I heard Max Bacon with GTR- but Payne is most certainly more dramatically overwrought. Ech.

4:17 also

Are u joking?
