He's a great guitarist, one of my favs at the moment. I recommend everyone check out his cd, Erotic Cake, its a great album.

+1 to that. The cd is outstanding. Plus by all accounts he's a really nice humble guy, which is cool.
Need to order the album. He's a great player. Probably the best in the UK at the moment.

I'm a little worried seeing as the entire Jemsite community flipped over the guy. This means he's probably really technical, bizarre, quirky, and vaguely Zappa-esq, which means I probably won't like it.
...but I'll certainly check out his Myspace to be sure.

Well, ummmmm...yeah, lol! His stuff's got far more substance than typical shred fare though, so I'd still check him out.

Please buy his album. Not enough people have, and if more people don't buy it he won't be doing another one.

No need to worry. One of the most tasteful and articulate players out there. I first discovered him about 3 years ago at a clinic in LA and was sold. His playing is so diverse and well-structured with tasty phrasing, it's a shame he gets lumped into the "shred" genre. He's got a rock fusion band and a jazz fusion band, so he's really not shred at all. Light years ahead of standard shred stuff...

Guthrie Govan is awesome, I saw a video of him playing EJ's Manhattan on the EJ forums a year ago and I was impressed, I seen a whole bunch of videos of him on tone merchants too, what a fantastic guitar player. 
I'm glad I can be of some use around here!
Man that mix he has over at MySpace is insane, he's all over the place!

Yep, Guthrie is the man. An absolutely scary freak of a guitarist , I love his stuff. Seed, you are correct, he does a lot of columns for Guitar Techniques magazine. And he's got 2 instructional books out that I'm going to pick up very soon:

Anyone here get a chance to check them out, and if so, what do you think?
