Yes! finally a new Guthrie video, and not another one of random people mutilating the intro to waves....

The greatest!!

@BlikeNave Hehe well I can see why, no one likes to be called an idiot for liking any particular artist I suppose! But Govan really is an impressive player. He's one of the best combining technique and phrasing. He doesn't sound mathematical like some other freaky players. He's playing very spontaneous. You should definetly check more of him if you like virtuoso's. You might also like Greg Howe and Andy Timmons (if you didn't already!).

@dennoow Thanks for pointin me in the right direction den. You have helped me like and appreciate Guthrie more, where as most of the other responses have just turned me off to him and his fans.

[dennoow]

@BlikeNave Well if you want a demonstration of his picking simply check out the video "fives" on here's. It;s a freaky demonstration of how skillfull he is. He wrote 2 books on guitar technique as well, he describes Gilbert's technique in "creative guitar 2: Advanced guitar techniques" and he has a lesson on alternate picking on youtube. Also check out "who's best" on youtube; he plays like EVERYONE. Paul Gilbert is in there as well. Gilbert is a freaky alternate picker though!

[BlikeNave]

@dennoow Ahh an intelligent comment, thank you. The thing is I've seen a teaching video on Paul talking about his picking years ago and it blew my mind. I've never really looked into Guthrie much but I like the stuff I have heard. I watched his "Ten fav licks" vid or something and that's what got me into him. Maybe if he put out a video that dissected his technique, I'd be blown away by him instead of Gilbert. But trying to play Gilbert's outside picking myself... ugh so hard. I like both guys.

[BlikeNave]

@hanifabidin90 Who said that? Are you just jumping into the middle of something to troll? Originally I said "If I could take Paul Gilbert's picking, with Guthrie's creativity... I'd be a monster." Then all these contentious fucks come out and jump on Guthrie's nuts. I should've known better than to mention another guitarist's name in a video that didn't have that mentioned guitarist. Instead of thoughtful discussions, we get angry and competitive "MY GUY IS BETTER!" Fuckkk you.

[dennoow]

@BlikeNave Paul's picking technique is great yeah. I do think Guthrie is a lot more versatile tehnically and he's technically miles beyond Gilbert though. Paul has a certain sound in his picking, a lot of compression and he sounds very agrssive. Guthrie's picking technique may well be a little better since his licks are way more complicated. But who cares anyway? If you like Gilbert, you should!

GUthrie is 1000000 times better than PG.........anyone waying PG better than guthrie = IDIOT

[BlikeNave]

@Kingding6 Rofl flabbergasted and outraged. Sounds fun, I'll def give it a go hahaha

[BlikeNave]

@sakitakungtyan I don't think you could be any more condescending if you tried! Jesus Christ. I'm not saying "Paul = God; Guthrie sucks; I favor technique over musicality." I just said I wish I had Paul's picking and Guthrie's creativity and then all these contentious comments come out. I also said I don't know much about Guthrie at all. He could be god/better than Paul, but to my eyes- I just love Paul. Idk I'm done with this. I think people are missing my original point and just attkn now.

[sakitakungtyan]

@BlikeNave as a guitarist for two decades, Ive been there and done that. I used to be a disciple of Paul Gilbert also,sure Pual Gilbert's picking technique is superb but in the long run its the musicality that counts..Im also a shredder type guitarist, when I realized that musicality is more important, It opened me to different styles of music. and by the way Guthrie's picking technique is a lot harder than Paul Gilbert's. Guthrie's phrasing is not just 3 note per string type.trust me kid.
