Guthrie Govan On The Suhr Riot Distortion Pedal

[MetallicaAnders]

You just can't say no to that vast vocabulary...

[olipickrockgod]

to be honest i prefer it when he's playing with the clean sound!

[ZwackAttak]

Buying one these i'm entering godmode too every time i activate it??

[Indiegaze]

Is it just me or is Guthrie's guitars constantly going out of tune? I don't know how many video's I've seen him apologize for being out of tune, or is playing out of tune. he is pretty rough on the stings though...but still....

[rodguitar7]

gooooooood



[2010metalmaster]

Ha ha ha, snarling beast of rock.. I freaking love this man

[Chickenassable]

I think I like the DSV+ pickups better

[Flash447]

hes like Tourette syndrome..but instead of yelling etc he bursts out extraordinary licks

[brooklynstudio]

him stepping on the pedal made the camera shake

[IsaacDeanMusic]

@brooklynstudio Thank you for that amazing observation :)

[brooklynstudio]

@IsaacDeanMusic it's a response to chininho00's comment

[virfive]

0:26 - haven't benn able to shit my own amp

[Stawg]

@virfive Lol well spotted

[AJConrady]

Guitarist of Born Of Osiris told me about this guy.

[yootesa1515]

snarling beast of rock /m\

[DomasBanevicius]

How is this thing called at 0:55?

[TheGeronimo322]

great demo I like this guy

[sexyguitarboy69]

Jesus came back to Earth as a guitar wizzard!

[survivecirca91]

what is the cloth above the nut of the guitar, & what does it do?

[apuforyou]

@survivecirca91 Keeps any additional string noise from ringing out above the nut

[mmaier2112]

What a SICK player! I need to catch him live.

[hotamohit]

@mmaier2112 i attended his clinic/ performance a year ago. it was a mind boggling experience.. dont miss the slightest chance

[mmaier2112]

@hotamohit I just hope he tours with The Aristocrats again. SOON!

[kibijit]

So that's how you pronounce Suhr...

[gnrcr]

I'd give my left nut for this pedal. Seriously.

[sexyguitarboy69]

@gnrcr Not for this pedal which you can buy almost everywhere for relatively short money. But for the ability to play like Guthrie Govan!

[fr06floyd]

0:56 ... Uch.... What ???????????

[TheFashel12]

press 4 and 2 repeatedly lol

[tmh1717]

he obviously must be joking about needing a tuner lol...he's must be trying to sound humble..like if he needs a tuner to tune a string

[MrDarinWarren]

GG seems like a genuinely nice chap.

[Gingerlord01]

this man does not grow a beard, the beard grows the man. 

[gh3rulz69]

i love how hes like "sorry" about his string lol

[stratthead]

I think this pedal sounds good in other demos, but his string action is so low here, most likely, to make it easy to do fast stuff, that the tone is just bad right from the guitar. It's so thin. The first fast picking like sounds like a turkey fight. I like fast playing but with great tone.

[YAGGAAA]

Now that was a good AD

[Vomitore]

0:25 I swear he said "And I haven't been able to shit my own amp."

[royhoeymans]

What technique is he using @ 0:55??

[F4TB0Y69]

@royhoeymans Harmonic Slide, very popular among Zakk Wylde and Eddie Van Halen, you gently hold the edge of your hand (pinky etc) over the pickups and lightly touch the string like you would your left for a natural harmonic. Perform pulloffs with your left hand and have your right hand create a series of artificial harmonics, move your right hand to change pitch. I learned it when i was listening to Zakk Wylde hope i helped =]

[nobnobnobnob]

He is a liar. At 0:56 you can't do it with the pedal alone. You also need the pick-up and his hands.

[hellohello4800]

@nobnobnobnob He used his hands and used his pick up...

[antimatter07]

the more i watch this guy the more i want to quit playing guitar.. i feel owned.. :(

[Danthehorse]

Prodigiously talented guy. What a pedal too!

[TheDanceofjoy]

lol 0:30 !!

[335fusion]

Guthrie - I cannot tell you how great it is to have one of our own up there with the greatest electric guitar heroes of all time, bringing it all down to earth (and Essex).

[my3user3isnt3stupid]

0:28 repeat button. your welcome.

[NyteoftheAbyss420]

Oh. My. God... I want that pedal...

[juiceweaselism]

*shredslikeamotherfucker

"If you like doin' all that stuff..."

Yeah. I'd definitely LIKE to. Perhaps in a 1000 years... :(

[AlterEgoEffectors]

Cool pedal

[chininho00]

0:58 the guitar squeal made the camera shake, hahahaha

[MikeBassil]

@chininho00 i'm pretty sure it was just him stepping on the pedal, but guthrie's playing is so awesome i can see why you would think that

[TheGJuleS]

@chininho00 Nah it was the camera man shaking

[DeathBringer769]

@chininho00 It was him stepping on the pedal and shaking the floor slightly. Camera appears to be on a tripod in front of him.

[johncescobia]

can anyone tell me the model of the white guitar behind guthrie's head?

[mojoefly]

killer harmonic at 58. great guitars produce great harmonics. this guitar is suhr one of them.

[ramsypak]

0:56 - with a magical sweep of the hand - FUCK ME!

[fetacheese900]

1:12 : I think he can be pardoned.

[guardianigor]

useless dmonstration.....

[Cydonia170]

Well, I'd like "to do that kind of stuff". Problem is, I'm not Govan ...

[MrFoxyFoxy59]

I love his facial expressions haha :D

[Ethricje]

I do. I very much want one.

[skiinscubaout]

John Cleese, move over!

[ajpeagle]

Great playing but that tone is awful.

[oscarsstuff]

@ajpeagle I love it, it kinda sound like Ac/Dc

[Bewitagos1]

I didn't detect a string out of tune, certainly no need to apologise. This is an amazing pedal, and can certainly be driven even harder than what was presented here, enough so to even meet the needs of hard rock and metal players. Thanks to Guthrie and John Suhr, what a great combination of talent.

[NeckPickup]

is that little clean segment from 1:00 part of any thing? it rings bells and sounds fantastic.

[mcchuff]

@NeckPickup I doubt it but he should make it part of something! Guthrie is an absolute master at improv. Some of the sweetest runs and riffs I've ever heard have come from him off the top of his head.

[gitarmats]

His tapping licks sound awesome on a clean sound!

[cgDominic]

thanks for uploading!

[thegreatgarry]

0:30 !

fuckkkkk

[JustusFriedolin]

@thegreatgarry haha yeh, seems like you dont need distortion at all when youre guthrie govan

[Aodhanhendrix1]

@thegreatgarry what the fuck :O



[1969AmericanMuscle]

@thegreatgarry

That was sickening!

GG rulz

[QuisPiss]

@thegreatgarry what the shit!
