Guthrie Govan Appreciation

[Harry]

1:38, not Guthrie doing that solo, every other member does a fantastic job. But I wonder where they found that bassist.



Something tells me he is not a true Asian..

Other guitarist is not as 'technical' as Guthrie Govan but holy shit, he's ridiculously good at any rate, really wasn't expecting that there was gonna be a guy that was gonna really hold his own against Guthrie. Some very tasty lines and absolutely AWESOME vibrato

It's the hair.
Dude's a serious badass.

While I'm here, I don't get why Rusty Cooley is hailed as the god of Alt picking.
Guthrie is just as fast, but 100 times cleaner and more precise and his lines are more complex to boot.

To me, that's a little like asking why Thor is hailed as the god of thunder while Jehovah's thunder is far cleaner and more complex. Not really a fair comparison.

Then again I'm an atheist in terms of both cosmology and the guitar. Guthrie's still a badass, even if he may technically not exist.

GG is awesome

I wish he would do yet another solo-album someday.

Well, it's a Korean band, playing on Korean television, so I hope I'm not out of line in suggesting that they found him somewhere in Korea.

Something tells me he is not a true Asian..

And as we all know, there's no better judge of how Asian someone is than a Swede.

Jesus Christ, light the fuck up dude. We all know that post was totally serious.



Or was it now?

I AM DEATHLY SERIOUS AT ALL TIMES AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO!

If you weren't serious at all either, then I think we should both just quit the internet and go live in a cave.

 

[ArtDecade]

Just listened to his work with Asia - very tasteful playing. I dig his style.

 

[JosephAOI]

I absolutely love Guthrie's playing.

[IamSatai]

Absolutly love Guthrie Govan, his music and his personality, truly inspirational. If you haven't already seen his 1.5 hr webcast, I strongly recomend you see it, well worth the time.

I don't even understand how anyone can say that this dude doesn't have soul in his playing! Sure, he tears it up.

But other times he makes me tear up.

That is all.

 

[m3l-mrq3z]

Love his playing.

He looks like a vegetarian drug-dealer, though.

Love his playing.

He looks like a vegetarian drug-dealer, though.

But yea, he kinda does.

Saw him yesterday live for the first time with the Aristocrats.

Man, that was some tasty playing...
