[davidrundmc]

3:10 capcom...

[Enkiguy]

Guthrie comes off as a mad scientist of guitars to me...he has this wild look in his eyes and his use of words. Like he is an intelligent mad man.

[SuperJBrowne]

Imagine how many times he could've had her, but he's too much of a gentleman, me on the other hand............

[rg2027x]

9:26 "it makes me sound like a duck, which I enjoy"

[TMDMOCC]

He was closer to getting laid than Satchel.

[carsguitarswomen]

@TMDMOCC Congratulations, you win the stupid comment award.

[wbwillie]

@TMDMOCC satchel was such a douchebag in my opinion

[MrPollo1908]

how the house guitar prewier listen clean and you member mary always best choice.

[paulgaudinjrBCN]

I added a video because Guthrie needs help with a pedalboard

[ytuseruber]

Great guitar player, great tone, cool pedals. But really, can Rebecca possibly be any prettier?

[MrPollo1908]

@ytuseruber true man forever the woman fight and weston cat and dog you.

[1992RATM]

killing in the name at 2:50

[Kidnapper89]

Thank you premier guitar for those videos!

[spicecrop]

Too bad some assholes decided to steal more than his guitar picks, In Rome recently all of their music gear was stolen out of their van. Including the bass players beloved Warwick which he played for 22 year, I hope they get their stuff back somehow or at least those stealing shits get their due justice. Guthrie Govan is an amazing player.

[TheGargoyleLives]

Woods don't make a difference in the ELECTRIC guitar's tone.

[jepesuzette]

@TheGargoyleLives Go play a couple of electric guitars mate and see how wrong you are

[tomroffey666]

@TheGargoyleLives You are an idiot. So lets just say a les paul (Mahogany) had the same single coil pick ups in it as a strat (Alder) their going to sound exactly the same? Please go try this right away and let me know how your experiment went, then never comment on something you obviously have no clue about....

[TheGargoyleLives]

@tomroffey666 I don't need to test because I'm right. What makes an electric guitar (any model) sound the way it does is: 90% player and 10% PICKUPS. Pickups are magnetic and only care about what the strings are doing from the nut to the bridge. They don't care what the wood is or even if it's hollow or semi-hollow. Guthrie's guitar could be made of maple syrup and still sound the same.

[tomroffey666]

@TheGargoyleLives So answer me this. Why then do all guitar manufactures, luthiers etc make guitars out of all different types of woods? You would think they would just make them all out of plywood to save money. Please do me a favour and email John Suhr, Warmoth and any other guitar manufactures and ask them why don't you build guitars out of plywood instead of using expensive tone woods. Get back to me on what they had to say. I'm sure they will shed some light on the subject!

[TheGargoyleLives]

@tomroffey666 They do it to steal your money. On an acoustic guitar, woods do make a difference but once pickups are incorporated all woods are 'created equal'. For some reason either the manufacturers don't realize that or they DO realize that but customers just believe what their dead heroes say and spend more money on different woods when it really doesn't matter.

[chad7206]

@TheGargoyleLives . just because YOU can't hear the diference doesnt mean there is no difference. It's you ears. To me I can hear the difference between a strat made of alder and one made of swamp ash. A plywood les paul will sound lots different than a carved maple on mahogany les paul. I dont even plug electrics in when I am gonna buy one. I wanna hear the natural sustain of the wood. Trust me you go get a plywood guitar and I promise my mahagonay guitar is gonna sound better

[TheGargoyleLives]

@chad7206 Ok let me try this again: acoustically, yes certain woods do sound different. Acoustically, everything you've ever heard about woods/finishes is true. Once you incorporate different pickups on an electric guitar, that's the sound. The pickups, the strings, and most importantly your hands. Woods and air are not magnetic, so they are not involved in the electric equation. Pickups only care about what the strings are doing.

[TheGargoyleLives]

@chad7206 You can have the best sounding electric guitar acoustically, but if the pickups in it are crap, it will sound like CRAP.

[chad7206]

@TheGargoyleLives ..That's why if I am interested in buying a guitar I don't plug it in at the store. I want to know that it has a good acoustic tone. If i take it home, plug it in and it sounds like crap, then I just replace the pick ups.. I do know a guy who use to make plywood guitars just as a hobby. Nothing wrong with it if that's what one enjoys. But I just don't think it will be full sounding or last a life time.

[TheGargoyleLives]

@chad7206 Well yea the whole wood lasting thing can be argued. Judging an electric guitar by its acoustic sound just isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I personally try stuff out. But to each their own.

[Ziduken1959]

He is using Andy's tone print on the flashback!

[kalapoka666]

Pause at 6.08 - Bitch I'm Fabulous!! He actually is!! :D

[beano1eye]

does Guthrie remind anybody else of Saxondale, does me everytime I see him, cool dude, enjoy his words!

[spicecrop]

This guy is funny, I did the rolling papers too on his amp, even though I don't burn anymore. He is ready for a joint at a moments notice.

[meegel]

3:10 STREET FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!! haha ;D

[maxxxedd3000]

Did he just play some RATM on 2:53 ??

[Craigharrismusic]

@maxxxedd3000 yeah he payed a clean version of killing in the name of

[Hintz6]

@maxxxedd3000 yep, lol

[NovaTyme]

the bit at 3:10 is soo cool

[6Vital6Remains6]

She's fucking hot, but just asks questions (basic ones at that) and doesn't seem to have any opinion of her own to lend him/us.

[ChristianBurrell]

@6Vital6Remains6 not her job to give her opinion is it?

[6Vital6Remains6]

I've actually never bothered to look up a video of Guthrie talking...

It's kind of like hearing Jesus speak, but you're not totally imagining it and you don't want to back-hand slap him...

[skeeptar]

what kind of hairband does he use?!?!

[djr0108]

how much does that pick cost?

[vigierandprsrule]

@djr0108 around twenty bucks a pick,not very cheap

[djr0108]

@vigierandprsrule what it made of?



[StephenDeCarloGuitar]

@djr0108 Red Bears are made of polymerized animal proteins, and are basically a way to make something very similar to tortoise shell, but doesn't kill any animals, plus tortoise shell picks are illegal to make in the U.S.

[flamen89]

time to make guthries signature pickup, the power tiger lol

[zeeLibertiner]

it's funny how he makes her laugh with the egg frying joke and then she looks at the camera guy like "ok sorry, I'll try to contain myself" but that was a great rundown! I like how she really gets into all the detail about the wood and the pick and such...

[jacksonshredder123]

this guy is veery intelligent!

[McKennaEthan]

Power Tiger!



[Eskimo1973]

They're meant to sound like turtle shell but you don't have to kill anything which is... groovy man!

[wesmatron]

Honkey nasal mid-range...Thought he was describing Eminem

[DogLifeXtreme]

groovy man!

Guthrie ist so nice and chilled, what a great guy and musician, too!

[dynamiteshredder]

2;57-2;57 one step tuning...AWESOME

[tikinparmar]

did he riff on Rage?

[Eduardot12345556]

@tikinparmar hell yeah, he did!

[palsby22]

lol he talks like an evil genius when he talks about his pedals. "Enough about the koko boost, let's move on to my other evil devices!"

[Bigmanbam44]

he is my favorite dirty hippie

[GREGCAROLAN]

where can i get a power tiger pickup

[voodootele]

For Sure the hottest player on the scene at the moment!! Totally ridiculous virtuosity!! In a league of only a handfull of players at the top of the tree. His endless dry English sarcasm does get a little irritating after a while.

[hunterlpdc94]

She seems to know her shit. I like her.

[ScottBrunelleMusic]

Props to Rebecca for a very interesting/thorough look at Guthrie's gear! Nicely done!

[Dedalusalley]

"This....sounds expensive!" Guthrie is the man!

[AnOddMusician]

2:50 rage against the machine!

[Rrrrobbo]

The woman didn't seem to have a clue how incredible that "tremel-no" thing was, I could do a better job, where do I send my CV?!

[jmulma]

Guthrie has such a great vocabulary.

[roccckkerrr]

@jmulma he studied literature at oxford i think, not 100% on oxford but he is well educated

[charliehustlenflow]

@roccckkerrr he dropped out to focus on music i believe

[Michael1773196]

Guthrie should do voice overs.

[xxxEnterSandmanXxX]

I love Guthrie..a down to earth phonomanal player..perfect guy..what more could you want?

[CharliePutz]

Looks like a hobo, speaks like a lord. =)

[theMachineandI]

One thing I love about Guthrie is that he's one of the only guitarists I've seen on Rig Rundown that doesn't use a buttload of rack mounted things. I always hate it when guys say "Yeah, it's a pretty simple rig." when they're, in fact, plugged into something like NASA and Bill Gates' house combined.

[skiinscubaout]

@theMachineandI LOL, very good :)

[julianrodolfo]

Did you guy's see the rolling papers on mint 2.17 their next to the string's...jaa

[Poxneo]

I would pay good money for some Power Tigers.

[harry123guitar]

Who ever stole guthries stuff, will be shredded by guthrie!

[MrJonathanMarquis]

You guys should try do to a rig rundown of the Foo fighters.. That would be full of awesomeness

[rob61091]

Did he play rage against the machine!?!?!? 

[terrancele]

Ah Guthrie, always has the best choice of words..

[spicecrop]

@terrancele He was an English major at Oxford. He almost went the other way. Lucky for us he decided to make music instead, But yes I enjoy listening to him talk also. He is one interesting fellow.

[CScout671]

hot chick who loves guitars...awesome. Guthrie's not bad at guitar either BTW...

[cannibalfan01]

like how he says pleasingly

[BassDouche12]

02:15

Rebecca: And what tobacoo-paper do you use??

Gutherie: I use Rizzla! They're just faboulus, you know!

[pigfacekingrussel]

at 2:53 RATM Killing in the name of? LOL

[S7320]

2:58

[paulcollumbine]

03:10 sounds like music from golden axe 2 sega megadrive, i just cant remember what bit :D

[ThirdElexis]

in love this guy

[slayisinsanified]

best hippy ever (-.-)v

[IFilmUNude]

At 3:34 is Guthrie referring to Rebecca's breasts?

[rosatijazz23]

@IFilmUNude LOL!!!!!!

[jabberwocky1969]

@IFilmUNude "They please me, indeed."

[jojacool]

Great Guy ! Great Musician !

[Sirpwnalot4321]

Lool "you don't have to kill anything, which is groovy, man (peace sign)" what a legend

[heliobluesrock]

I didn't understand how he changes the clean to dirty channel...!?

[wormchief]

A proper English geek guitarist! If there is a better guitarist on earth at the moment, please let me know

[mmaier2112]

Does Miss Dirks play?

[fingerboy18]

Someone hunt down those fuckers who stole Guthrie's shit.

[Rrrrobbo]

@fingerboy18 cunts

[mrflip321go]

i love the way he describes everything

[MatthewUrsaki]

Suhr, Vaa... Vaggg.. Vagger?

[grahammack32]

What is it with most americans having a problem pronouncing his surname

[Will137]

Unfortunately since this was filmed. Guthrie, his brother Seth, Dave Kilminster and Pete Riley have had all of their equipment stolen from their tour van in Italy. The only thing remaining was both Dave and Guthries guitars which were in the hotel room with them. If anyone has questions, or hopefully(!) answers - then make your way over to the Guthrie Govan message board. Cheers.

[guitarsehole]

Hahahaha..."joyous things to behold"..the man oozes sarcasm. I think Guthrie has given guitarists worldwide a fresh perspective on the whole approach to playing.

Like Joe did in the late 80s. It's all about the music, not so much about the licks.

[Mugenloo]

How fucking English can you be?  One of the best Guitarists in the world using all your pedals from a Tea tray hahahaha

God I love this man

[agavalence]

@4blackout

So I've heard! Sad, sad news. I hope they can retrieve all the stolen equipment pretty soon.

[raysonkong]

any one knows the name of the girl....

[Mugenloo]

@raysonkong Rebecca Dirks, read the fucking comments

[element1988]

i would totally steal guthries pick... It holds magical powers dont you know.

[sagyas]

02:51 Killing in the name of

its weird that guitar player like him who usually plays jazz and fusion stuff know this riff lol

[jimmython]

@sagyas check out Guthrie playing Bulls on Parade with Dizzee Rascal!

[lestervai]

does he says "go-to trem" or "gotoh trem" im kinda confused.

[88segovia]

@lestervai gotoh

[spider62able]

Guthrie is right the Cantrel Wah Has lower frequencie response and take's abit of getting used to! I have learned to luv mine!

[SirJamestheIII]

finally an interviewer that isn't talking over the person I want to listen too

[Aristowi]

What cool guy, and awesome guitarist.

[jg76aries]

" it pleases me" ...haha!!! Said in that very droll kind of british accent.

[MrSlimfinger]

Guthrie, the great gentleman as usual, very down to earth. Nice serious expression on his face when demonstrating the auto wah, is this his way of flirting maybe?

[ryancoleman3]

It's throaty, it's fat, it pleases me!

[nwtrucker38]

'This is where the filth comes from', love it, Guthrie is the Daddy!

[coreymineard]

@ GoliathSound that's because the idiots @ guitar center don't know a god damn thing.

[Pokeherfaceism]

I subscribed Premierguitar channel because of Rebecca Dirks ^.^

[TheGoliathsound]

Fucking assholes at Guitar Center argue with me saying that RotoSound does not make guitar strings.......Pieces of shit!

Guthrie you are the man!! Cannot wait to see you in San Diego!! Peace Brother.

[bluesBro18]

holy crap, i use roto sound 10's on my strat!!!!!
