Guthrie said it himself, “There will never ever be another Shawn Lane”. But I wonder if he realizes there will never ever be another Guthrie Govan.

Fernando Moreno yes he does. He alternate picks a lot of his scalar runs because he likes the rhythm of AP better and he found a way to play 7th arpeggios 4 notes per string (like the lick in wonderful slippery thing), which he uses a lot. He's not into the malmsteenstyle shredding anyway.

That solo is insane! Contrary to what some people think; that's not just fast playing, there's insane note choices and rhythm in there

@Marctull66

2y↑14

Defiitely... We've got to have a certain experience of fast guita rplaying to appreciate it, i think, but it's all structured and immaculately played. Guthrie has got a beautiful clear sound, a sharp tone.... and of cours,e his playing is just incredible... after MacAlpine, Moore, Jason Becker an dGreg How,e i thought I couldn't hear somebody as good as they are, but I was wrong of course... and in a similar style, very, very fluid and clear, there's also this Italian virtuoso called Daniele Gottardo who's influenced both by classical music (rather late 19th - early 20th centuries, which is unusual) and jazz rock. I think he's also unbelievable.

It's actually pretty simple, with very similar form on each string. It's just clever 2-string skipping that makes it sound it wild. The hardest part about is the extreme stretch, absolute max stretch I can handle, after a careful warmup. But I learned that tapping lick, just to see if I could do it. The rest of the solo however is far more difficult and out of my reach

It's inevitable to compare musicians. Yet I still hardly view musicianship as a sport. One thing that remains, however, is the fact that Guthrie has mastered EVERY technique. (Alternate picking, economy picking, hybrid, legato, hammer ones from nowhere, tapping, banjo style, etc.) More so than his predecessors. Plus his feel is unreal. Also his phrasing and note choices are really awesome!! There are so many moments in his playing where you're trying to comprehend what he just played a milli second ago and it's like hearing Eruption for the first time back in 77.

Woah, did I just witness a guitarist sit back for an ENTIRE BASS SOLO? That's when you know you've got serious skills, you don't need to put on airs of being a guitar God, you just are one.

Watching all these amazing guitar players on youtube, I get really confused. Super impressive playing, and no doubt Guthrie really is a technical wizard. I listen to this with great admiration, I could never play like this for sure. On the other hand, for me music should never be just about admiration and technical proficiency. I wouldn't go to a concert of him or buy a cd (or listen on spotify). Its fun to watch him play over a backing track every once in a while, but I wouldn't enjoy listening to this for more than 15 minutes. One crazy solo after another gets boring very quickly. His music (to me) is somewhat superficial in the sense that it doesn't go beyond a demonstration of skill. It doesn't move me in a musical way like the music I love to listen to. It goes to show that technique (although it is very impressive) only gets you so far.

Pure sonic guitar bliss! I'm not going to rest till I've mastered every note of this! Peace!

+dvincentblack You do realise he's probably improvising the solo section. I've seen him play several different versions of this tune. Of course every version is flawless, so you don't even realise he's improving!

How is it going?

@Overslide 666 i'm curious too

1:58 - 2:36 Poor Guth hit the gas and the throttle got stuck. I'm glad to see the guitar lessons I gave him are starting to work out. I felt bad about taking his $5 bucks at first.

Oh my f-ing god - I've seen jillions of vids from virtuosos on here and Beato hipped me to this one. I' don't think I've ever seen anyone with that command of the instrument before plus he's melodic as hell, absurdly, frighteningly accomplished and dead beautiful. Just Wow.
