@racerx3065 It can get clean-ish, but as soon as you bring it to a volume that you would use with a drummer it gets dirty no matter what. And yes, it only has one channel, and there is a boost for that channel as well.
I play thrash metal, so I don't really have any use for a clean channel : )
yeah that's exactly my point mate. He CAN play anything, but it's all just fast for the sake of being fast. That solo was pointless, there were no hooks or melodys in it, just really fast scales!. The guitar is for playing music not maths!
"That solo was pointless, there were no hooks or melodys in it, just really fast scales!"
Tell that to Charlie Parker, Coltrane or for that matter Holdsworth or McLaughlin. I'm sure you'd have the same reaction to their playing, because you just... don't... get... it.
Listen to the whole song!! The solo in this clip (while incredibly awesome) isn't melodic in the same way as say a David Gilmour solo, but a solo doesn't always need to be ultra-melodic; it just needs to flow with the rest of the song, which in this case has several very catchy melodies. By the way the song in this clip is called "Fives". Listen to it sometime.
no. guitar is for doing whatever you feel like doing with it, doing whatever expresses yourself the most, whatever makes you happy. if playing a really fast solo based completely on the mathematical equations of music makes a person happy, then who are you to tell them that's the wrong way to do it? who do you think you are to tell guthrie govan--GUTHRIE GOVAN, of all people, lol-- how to play his guitar?
I can see that Guthrie is tired off people not listening and treating him like a circus freak. His understanding far outstrips his ability which might scare some people, but its the truth. Yes he has chops but he yearns for more. And he likes his beer!..
That's so true. I mean, the guy's been playing music since he was 3, his expertise in the subject is inhuman. People should be wowed by his chops, but equally impressed by the fact that he could analyze every single note of every solo he plays.
exactly, most of these people should read his books, he was going to be an english teacher first, and then decided to go to school for music so the books are professional material, and SO enlightening
@Cirqueduguitar I think Guthrie Govan doesn't really give a crap what anyone thinks. Read his mind and you'll just find a bunch of music and psychedelic art, not thoughts of childish drama about people on the internet and what they think.
His board has expanded some in recent years, but I'd still call it modest. I mean, look at somebody like Dave Martone, he could fill his entire stage with the pedals needed for one song.
Me! he does do that sometimes. watch some of his fellowship vids. in one of them he plays 'what shall we do will the drunken sailer' at the end of a solo. I think its great he uses humour in his solos.

you shouldn't fetishise hooks or melodies. music is more than a hummable tune. stuff like this is really dynamic and expressive.
