Really nice. You captured his phrasing a lot better than most Guthrie covers I've seen. It may not have been 'perfect' (I couldn't catch a mistake in it if I tried), but I think you got the feel of it, and that's probably the most important part. I'd give you an A.
Wow. You've been playing a year less than me, are two years younger than me, and play better than I can imagine myself doing in the next 3 years or so And you opened for Holdsworth?
As I am an average guitarist at best, take this with a grain of salt.
I am a clarinet/sax player for session work, and I do quite a bit of Jazz/Fusion playing.
This is really really good. Technically quite flawless... musically though, I felt like the phrasing on this particular take was 80% there. The thing that Govan does so mind boggling well is play fast guitar solos with beautiful dynamic control and phrasing. You were most of the way there, but I kind of felt like it was lacking just that extra bit of spit and polish to make me go
