Holy Crap, this guy is good...

god_puppet · 11-10-2006, 09:59 AM

He's a great guitarist, one of my favs at the moment. I recommend everyone check out his cd, Erotic Cake, its a great album.

+1 to that. The cd is outstanding. Plus by all accounts he's a really nice humble guy, which is cool.

distressed_romeo · 11-10-2006, 01:00 PM

Need to order the album. He's a great player. Probably the best in the UK at the moment.

Drew · 11-10-2006, 02:12 PM

I'm a little worried seeing as the entire Jemsite community flipped over the guy. This means he's probably really technical, bizarre, quirky, and vaguely Zappa-esq, which means I probably won't like it.

...but I'll certainly check out his Myspace to be sure.

Well, ummmmm...yeah, lol! His stuff's got far more substance than typical shred fare though, so I'd still check him out.

Nik · 11-10-2006, 05:51 PM

All of the stuff I've heard from Mr. Govan, while very technical, is still very tasteful. One of these days I'm gonna order his album

Please buy his album. Not enough people have, and if more people don't buy it he won't be doing another one.

No need to worry. One of the most tasteful and articulate players out there. I first discovered him about 3 years ago at a clinic in LA and was sold. His playing is so diverse and well-structured with tasty phrasing, it's a shame he gets lumped into the "shred" genre. He's got a rock fusion band and a jazz fusion band, so he's really not shred at all. Light years ahead of standard shred stuff...

Guthrie Govan is awesome, I saw a video of him playing EJ's Manhattan on the EJ forums a year ago and I was impressed, I seen a whole bunch of videos of him on tone merchants too, what a fantastic guitar player.

WayneCustom7 · 11-10-2006, 09:24 PM

I'm glad I can be of some use around here!
Man that mix he has over at MySpace is insane, he's all over the place!

bulb · 11-10-2006, 09:32 PM

yeah dude, this guy is up there with mattias eklundh for me as far as the most creative/articulate/technically amazing while still insanely tasteful guitarist out there...
That rhode island shred song is beyond amazing and he calls it country haha!

Hell I was just listenning to Rich Murrays Guitar Channel and Guthrie comes on again, so I was going to start a thread on Guthrie, looks like someone already beat me to it

Dang he's got riffage up the wazoo!

Seedawakener · 01-05-2007, 11:37 AM

Wow, didnt really k ow he was such a great guitarplayer. Didnt he work for some english guitarmagazine or something? I think I remember his name from "guitartechnique". Awesome video. I will check out more from him.

Ibanez_Dave · 01-05-2007, 02:01 PM

Yep, Guthrie is the man. An absolutely scary freak of a guitarist

, I love his stuff. Seed, you are correct, he does a lot of columns for Guitar Techniques magazine. And he's got 2 instructional books out that I'm going to pick up very soon:

http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Guita.../dp/1860744672

Anyone here get a chance to check them out, and if so, what do you think?

Jerich · 01-05-2007, 02:46 PM

I have seen him two times and both times very impressed.he will be playing at NAMM 2007 at Tone merchants he's worth checking out..... even if you cannot play what he does it is fun to see him....even with a closed mind!

Carrion · 01-05-2007, 04:17 PM

Amazing player. His Erotic Cakes album is pure genious with a lot of diversity.

Same here, his phrasing is out of this world. He incorporates so much versatility, plus he can shred with the best of them...I love how he makes using three fingers sound like he is using four...isn't or rather wasn't Shawn Lane like that also...

I have to say that I have been struggling lately as a guitar player. Some of you may have noticed my contribution (although I didn't really contribute all that much) on the boards has been minimal lately. After the band I was in broke up, I was close to calling it quits. Then I met a drummer and we started things up again, but my drive to play and push the boundaries of my abilities wasn't there...but I forced myself...now after rediscovering Guthrie I feel a new hope stirring within...in fact while dropping one earlier, I was playing some wierd fusionesques stuff on my guitar, shredding and dumping, ah what a feeling. I haven't done that in months!

Shawn · 01-05-2007, 08:54 PM

Funny, the first time I posted about Guthrie Govan way back, my thread was deleted. Chris.

Anyhow, yeah, he's awesome. I posted a vid of him playing alot of cool tunes, this guy is impressive, he even did EJ's Manhattan PERFECT.

Carrion · 01-05-2007, 08:56 PM

The song "Sevens" is awesome.

There's always that slim chance that EJ will appear in one way or another with your answers
