  • Please, Govan, tell us we're getting trolled hard already, it's not funny anymore! Sick slide action. And the ending, it's ridiculous, never seen a man tapping so casually such a pattern. Keep reminding us to practice, sir!

  • Tired to listen he plays BLUES shit stuff...need some more melodic style music...

  • fuck

  • satch and vai need to put a bunch of jams like this together, not saying they need to to prove anything I'm just a fan and really respect GG

  • guthrie is like a guitar messiah.. he keeps a low profile and can practically kick anyone's ass in any aspect.

  • Una Fluidità incredibile!!! Strabiliante EXCELLENT . AMAZING

    

  • not that he needs to prove it but would love to see him put together about 10 acoustic tunes sampler

  • Full of natural feel of funk , rock , blues .. not to mention the skills and knowledge combined all together you got Govan...

  • he uses his extensive knowledge of the guitar and theory and of course advanced technique to imrovise pointless guitar-porno..i mean seriously..where's the musicianship? and this goes for all the guys like Steve vai and all the shredders! they are so skilled that they only make music for their precious guitars, bending the limit of the guitar NOT making music WITH their instruments. is not a musician' job accompaniment?? all you noobs out there buy wiliiam leavitt's "a modern method for guitar"!

  • @soundtrackfreak Are seriously you trying to say guthrie focusses to much on technique rather than musical playing?? Guthrie is always saying in interviews how is only focussed on creating the sound he wants to hear, he doesnt play tricks and technically advanced stuff, there are players who play far faster and more technical peices for example rusty cooley. guthrie has the ability to play such music but he doesnt, he's all about feeling and creating real music more than anybody.

  • his fingers are like spider legs crawlin in the fret board

  • Im in!

  • Best guitar player today

  • El mejor...bueno Alex Hutchings lo iguala .

  • well steve is lucky, he was with frank zappa, david lee roth, and he used his talent that is in his composing skill. he's not just a guitarist. but since this is a gg video, gg is AMAZING at phrasing and could really get into the background song

  • Cool.

  • he deserves fame but there is one factor that you have to consider!

    if he gets famous the record company is gonna make him support an image witch they will want and they won't let him play whatever he likes.

    so in a way like Shawn Lane kept himself low profile in order to persuit his musical desire and not become a corporate bitch!

  • Look at Steve Vai...an example Guthrie has brought up many times as the ideal guitarist gig. Steve runs his own record label! He plays whatever he wants and has his own image, and he's one of the biggest names in the industry. So if there's a will, there's a way :)  GO GUTHRIE!!

  • Steve Vai is very lucky to fall into that place.

    99.99999999% of the people don't have that luck.

  • I see your point, although I don't think it's as black and white as that. I'm sure someone as smart as Mr Govan here wouldn't sign any contract that handed creative control over to the record company. But on the other hand - and this is in no way a criticism of his frankly mind-boggingly technical and muscial abilities - instrumental guitar music has very few big stars, and a limited audience. Only a handful of names would probably be recognised by your average listener; Steve Vai, Jeff Beck...

  • ...Santriani maybe...I can't think of any others.

    In a fair and just world Guthrie Govan would be much better known.

  • fuck me, is there anything G can't play?

  • no :P

  • probably not haha

  • This dude is absolutely superhuman.

    Bill Gates would give up every penny to play like that.

  • Simply the best!

  • he's the best!!!!!

  • INSANE

  • you say Blues-i say G.Govan

    you say rock-I say G.Govan

    you say country-i say G.Govan

    you say shred-i say G.Govan

    ........... :P ....who's with me...????

  • meeeeee lol

  • Yeah, I'm with u :D

    But I still wonder why such guitarist hasn't been famous yet ???

  • Fame is secondary man, even though he deserves it i have no doubt that in a near future he will be considered one of the best guitar players of our time... i consider him to be it right now...

  • and i say jazz!!!--> guthrie govan

  • agreeeeeeedddd

  • @gkountonas you are fucking right gutrie the best now

  • @gkountonas G. Govan be with you!

  • @gkountonas You say hair and beard, i say G.Govan!

  • *Throws his Guitar out the window*

  • AlienWebguy listen , there is always better and better guitarplayers there is no limit.. but we can't comparising JohnPetrucci with Gutherie Govan , because John plays different genre of music and style , and Gutherie different .. so be cool and rate everyone for theyr own genres bye.

  • You're talking to a guy who has over 40 dt cd's and a huge majesty symbol tattooed on my back. For years I wouldn't give other virtuosos the time of day cuz they weren't Petrucci. Guthrie was the first one who made me realize that Petrucci wasn't the 'best' and that I was ignorant for thinking so - that's all I'm saying.

  • besides guthrie can play ever style

  • That's quite a big deal! Big compliment to Guthrie :P I've had my share of seeing players as being untouchably good. Players like Guthrie tend to throw a cat amongst the pigeons.

  • Guthrie Govan is the first guitar player who enlightened me to the idea that there are players out there better than Petrucci.

  • No one is better doing Petrucci than Petrucci himself.

  • watching GG play is what makes me pick up my guitar and play/practise every damn day and minute!

  • Comment removed

  • insane chops

  • Damn!

    Love his left hand. I could watch this all day long!

  • this man.... govan his making guitar hard for us!!! man its a serious problem

  • game over bitches

  • the day i heard this guy i shitted my pants.

    same thing happened when i heard ritchie kotzen

  • I was reading text comments when "fade to blue" started and I was like....WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?!....too cool.

  • Guthrie = perfection made man.

  • "prowling blues" grooves dirty like a bucket of guts

  • i'm no atheist any longer!

  • shock

  • :O  ....

  • complete control on every level.....

  • driven blues and blitzkrieg are amazing!

  • pheeew that is some gnarly shit mate

  • 3:00 - to the end... a fucking "Blues God"!!!!!

  • this guy plays just like i would love to play and i cant, he's a guitar god

  • god himself

    mr govan...

  • 1;43

  • wow im gonna poach every fuckin lick in this video ahah

  • good luck, haha

  • Ja virei fã de carteirinha dele!!!!!!

  • kkkkkkkkkkkk somos doissss

  • trêssssssssss

  • GOD!)

  • My face just melted. Help.

  • that slow blues song he did on the gibson 335 (i think) was the best out of those - though they were all awesome..

  • agreed. Packed full of emotion and the perfect note choices.

  • I met him... he's a nice guy and a true pro... Icouldn't image he's so quiet in his life and then on stage play like an ANIMAL.... he's a monster...

  • Guthrie's the best real life example of Clark Kent/Superman.

  • i read one cooment about govan and it was the best i have ever read....

    (i like to think of guitar players like this:

    there's bad players, good players, excellent players, virtuosos, and then guthrie govan.)

     TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i just received his creative guitar 1 % 2 books in the mail a few days ago... incredibly fun to read.. even if you are a seasoned player already it's still full of bits and pieces of hints and information that is very interesting and very fun to read. it has definately renewed my interest in the guitar a lot, i think those books are going to become pretty worn out

  • yeah i guess

    and he can play so many different styles and do so many different things on the guitar it's like he's a dozen master guitarists in one

  • Word perfect

  • this is the kind of guy who would have 25 different master degrees if he had went to the university instead of playing the guitar

  • Yep.

    He's a better guitarist than any of us. And more intelligent than most of us too. :).

    He's the man.

  • ...score

  • i wanna know this guy's I.Q. test.

  • awesome my friend keep it up !

  • i can't get enough of this guy, he should be bigger

  • @arjun312 that's what she said XD jk

  • @arjun312 He could'nt be any bigger.

  • very excellent ...in my favorite direct

  • This guy brings excitement and unpredictability to the blues, very refreshing. You afraid of a little shred? How are your chops?

  • lol, wake up : "comtemporary" ... you may have a problem dude with a bit of shred ? it's driving dude, driving. Blues ain't YOUR thing. Blues has evolution as everything, otherwise there are no feelings because feeling evoluates too as everything.

  • Guthrie Govan is Epic Win

  • without guthrie govan i dont think this company would make more than 10% of what it makes right now...

  • Hey you lot. Bluesjamtracks is back up online with a great new look. Just bought the contemporary Series with Guthrie Filmed doing the solo examples. The transcriptions are spot on as far as I can tell. Check it out!

  • Or maybe, just maybe, he played to suit the backing track.

    As for the glued neck comment... That's a bunch of rubbish.

  • hey i totally agree with you

    on the SG he was really melodic and thoughtful while on the other guitars it felt like he was trying to win a race or somethin :\

  • Well, his playing is superb all over but while holding the Gibson you could see him as more likely part of a legendary soulful orchestra of some kind. Shredding is ok too but even Atkins managed to sweep pick a Gretch back in 55! When reaching this level of technique a more relaxed approach could be beneficial etc.

  • VERY VERY GOOD PLAYNG

  • Cold Winter Blues = É preciso saber viver

  • When I met him at namm 2008, he seemed a little wird and grumpy, he's my fav and don't want his personality to ruin it for me. Does any one who met him have anything to say!?

  • Yeah ..he told me you were an arsehole.

  • lol

  • Comment removed

  • Hmmmmnn  ...a little harsh perhaps ...possibly offensive ...true ...but fair.

  • Fuckery,Buggery,Tuggery and all the other gerys.

    Some cool grooves on here Guth.

  • Whahey Toggery your here stirring up shite as usual. What is it now whey nobs,dicks nad lesbians. who thefuckis tomspurtharder.

  • After reading some of the comments on here I have decided that this is all too much. StopUrEffinWhinin ...Stop your fucking whining.

  • Dude, you look like Dime on this Video!

    Very nice video, thanks for posting!

  • 3:40 its amazing his tapping!

  • Guthrie's amazing; I guess I'll have to break down and actually pay for some of his music!

  • well now i want a TELE

  • It's not actually a Tele, it's a Suhr copy, I think they call it a 'classic T'

  • of course ;)

  • Every solo of his is perfect

  • I love how he snaps out of all of the "traditional" pentatonic licks, and changes them into new ideas and licks.

  • omg his rythm while improvising is incredible

  • Wow, great tone on that Suhr!

  • They're all Suhrs... well except that 335 :P xxx

  • Please dont lump American Conservatives in with that complete moron "StopUrEffinWhinin". I'm Hardcore Proud American Conservative and I think Govan is the best guitar player I've heard since Shawn Lane died. He is an amazing player, and anyone that doesn't see his facility on guitar needs to re-evaluate.Venting personal frustrations is for somewhere else. If you don't like his style, fine, post once and be done with it. YES, MORE GUTHRIE. This Yank thinks he's Great

  • Totally dude, that's what all these guys complaining are doing, frustrated in their inabilities, and what does it have to do with patriotism anyways, it's music, the universal language of the human kind, There are no boundaries and certainly no room for shit like that. Enjoy the music if it's good music, why does it matter that it came from Europe or Asia? Doesn't make sense to me.

  • ATTENTION GUTHRIE FANS: People, Click on this cat's name- tomm120. Notwithstanding conservative rhetoric, this Sick bastard has 84 Lesbian Sex Vids and a few Govan sprinkled in for good measure. For fuck's sake, what does Tomm spurt harder too- GG, or under-age lesbians kissing???

  • Wow ..on other forums re Guthrie there is talk of jerking off, masturbation, woodies, donkeys whatever. Now under age lesbians. Jesus Fucking Christ.

  • Comment removed

  • Kids eh :D who'd have 'em ;)

  • The best alive electric guitarist !

    I can't wait to go to BIMM next year !

  • guth dyed his roots, weee!

  • He has inspired many people and brought satisfaction to many, so why did you bring up the Marines? Surely they have nothing to do with a fan commenting on a English Fusion guitar player? And Anchorman was a B grade movie, who gives a shit how many people spent money on seeing it.

  • The comments posted by the maker of this video was not posted by Mr. Govan, for he is only an artist employed by the company ran by his two friends Adrian Clark and Jan Cyrka. So maybe you should waste your time insulting people who are really there instead of rambling on to someone who probably doesnt give a rats arse. Another thing, why do you draw praise away from Guthrie?

  • Guthrie is probably the best electric guitarist alive.

  • no. i actually just think his guitar playing is phenomenal.

  • Am I missing something here? This is a promo for bluesjamtracks and Guthrie Govan right. Not some bloody venue for a grudge match.

    Great promo by the way. Can't wait to get my hands on the goods, so to speak.

  • His playing is nothing short of astonishing. Just never runs out ideas.

  • you guys should make a john mclaughlin style track...something like the mahavishnu orchestra

  • Yet again Guthrie slays all the other shredders on YouTube. Astonishing!

  • he's not god he's jesus on guitar with magic fingers XD

  • guthrie it`s just awesome -the tapping in last trailer are really cool

  • Jesus...I just can't believe how good he is sometimes.

  • No puedo esperar a ver los nuevos videos!!!! La parte del minuto 3:00 es buenisima!

  • Guthrie rules!

  • all you haters need to piss off, sounds like you are jealous if you have to say anything bad against this guy.

  • CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SUCKING DICK? "TheWhistleCollector" Yeah I bet. Fucking pedophile! Why do haters need to piss off? I have an idea; you Idol worshipers piss off and we'll just turn it into a haters comment page. That's just as fair as when you complain about the toilet seat being left up and the man of your sick relationship complains that it's left down when he needs it up.

  • That below vile comment was left by some sicko Rattatoullie. I copied it because I couldn't believe it. It dissappeared when I refreshed the page 20 minutes later but I wanted everyone to see this to believe it and to watch this guy. Who knows him? Anybody? Is he a Musician or terrorist? What's this world coming to?

  • "How long this video clip should last?

    50 seconds or 3 minutes 55 seconds?" said Jeff Knight........hmmm.....that made sense? Guthrie Govan....he really amazes me everytime. It's a shame that he doesn't get the publicity that he deserves

  • es un genio, los tiempos lo maneja a la perfeccion, da gusto escucharlo!

  • It starts at the beginning and finishes at the end. Does that help?

  • Thank you for your reply, the first time I saw this video clip, it only lasted for 55 seconds instead of 3 minutes 55 seconds.

  • I am so fucking excited. I can't wait to see them.

  • Wow, that's probably the best shit I've ever seen!

  • I wonder why some of the tracks are named after Yngwie songs:

    Blitzkrieg

    Trial by Fire

  • I think that the 'Blitzkreig' backing track has a sort of 'Ramones' feel to it and the 'Trial by Fire' is a little like "Burn the Witch' by 'Queens of the Stone Age'. Just guessing mind. They have called it the contemporary series after all!

    Wherever they got the inspiration for these backing tracks, I can't wait to get them and get underneath Guthrie's bonnet! Ooh err missus!

  • Guthrie is not only good....he's god

  • you truly are a master at the guitar, you are extremely versatile. you have your own great style as well.

  • Pure tone, taste, feeling and technique. By far the most complete guitarist ever.

  • Joder, tan bueno como siempre

  • Yeeaahhhh!!!!

    That man is a musical Midas. It's all gold!!

    Can't wait to get all this stuff.

    Great job, Blues Jamtracks!

  • Guthrie!!!!

  • il migliore tra i migliori!!!GUTHRIE GOVAN!!!

  • the show must go on.....

  • that last tapping lick is EPIC

  • Seriously,what the fuck is wrong with you? are you saying there is something wrong with one guitar player complimenting another and that one cannot do so without "shoving your nose" up their ass? I'm embarrassed for YOU, you imbecile, for having nothing better to do that insult people for their unimposing comments that have nothing to do with you. fuck off.

  • yes, I give the US marines complete credit for saving my ass from destruction. I don't care that much of you think it blow (it doesn't, but i'll respect your opinion). But to go and make a complete ass of yourself just because people with sense think differently from you is completely uncalled for. I think Guthrie Govan is an amazing guitarist. You do not. Point made. Go ahead. come "punch me in the ovaries". but next time, don't steal your trash talk from mediocre Grade-B movies.

  • Again, interesting. I had no idea the quote was from a movie (I heard someone say it once, thought it was funny) But YOU however DO know about the mediocre grade-b movie scene. Another indictment against yourself. I researched it quick and saw "Anchorman" grossed $28,416,365 its opening weekend, and $90,540,221 worldwide in its total theatrical run.You're thinking of a "B" movie you liked or (and I believe this) You have no fucking idea what comes out of that dick sucking all licking pie hole.

  • Are you actually using box office statistics against me? Congrats. You have reached a new low.

  • No, you're using box office stats against yourself. When you put it out there that the quote was from a mediocre grade-B movie, I looked it up. I found the stats but you put your sorry foot in your own mouth by calling something commercially and critically acclaimed a loser. Obviously we know who the loser is. Your anemic responses dig you deeper and deeper and allow all to see what a pathetic child you are.

  • No, there is a shit load on here that doesn't regard me. I just don't understand why lowlifes such as yourself go about insult people for no apparent reason. Given your multiple and all equally pathetic retort, i'm guessing you don't understand either.
