I apologize if this has already been posted (I couldn't find it)... but damn. As if I didn't have enough shit to buy... now I must have this... and lessons.

This is one of my favorite Guthrie videos. His playing is always bad ass no matter what style he is playing.

1000 Eyes · 09-24-2011, 12:07 PM

here is a 13 min demo of the fretless..sorry if posted already somewhere else.

Awesome. What kind of material is that fretboard made of?

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It does have that brassy slide guitar sound to it.

the vigier site refers to it as "delta metal" without going into any further details about it. tis a repost, but a nice reminder to finish off the fretless I started months ago

IAMLORDVADER · 09-25-2011, 05:32 AM

I love guthrie soo much

In the Creative Guitar 1 book, Guthrie says even he doesn't know. He refers to it as some "top secret alloy"

in-pursuit · 09-25-2011, 07:23 AM

from wiktionary -
delta metal (plural delta metals)

An brass alloy consisting of copper (55%), zinc (41-43%) and iron (1-3%), with the balance consisting of various other metals. The proportions used make the material harder and suitable for valves and bearings.

guitareben · 09-25-2011, 10:04 AM

Ahhh how I love Guthrie Govan!

Though i think they should have gotten Bumblefoot over for fretless stuff. I mean, Guthrie is absolutely amazing and godlike etc, but I think bumblefoot is better on fretless (i'm sure his perfect pitch helps too). Either way, both insane!

Ding Ding Ding! It's harder than brass and looks cool as hell. Provides sustain that you just can't get with a fretless made with a wood board.

I actually saw Guthrie in Philly last night and lent him a Surfreter to use on "See You Next Tuesday". Dude is out of his damn mind!!

Ron's got a bunch of fretlesses (including his doubleneck!)

HTDUK · 11-22-2011, 06:56 AM

How about Ron Thal and Guthrie jamming together - Guthrie on a Vigier fretless?? Yes?? Then check out this...YouTube vid from NAMM Jan 2011

So that was you who brought the Vigier

Good stuff man, that was a killer show and the fretless was badass!

shadowlife · 11-22-2011, 10:36 AM

I'm convinced Guthrie could make any guitar sound amazing, in just about any style.

Yeah that was a hell of a show! Northstar has had a great string of guitar players... just a couple weeks before that I got to see Freak Kitchen and Morglbl (Christophe Godin).

Ahh no i meant to do the video demonstration thing

Then again, to have to have both Guthrie and Ron Jamming on fretlesses would be killer

(maybe an idea for the future? a video perhaps?

)

BucketheadRules · 11-22-2011, 03:51 PM

Discovered that fretless video a couple of weeks ago... it's so amazing.

I just don't know how the hell he knows where he is. I gather there are dots on the side of the neck but that wouldn't be enough for me

It sounds incredible though. If there are any fretless guitars with inlaid lines on the fretboard I AM SO THERE.

matt397 · 11-22-2011, 07:56 PM

I'd shit my self if I heard Guthrie had a guest spot on the new periph album

Yeah I went there, come at me bro
