Guthrie Govan Reaction: Classical Guitarist REACTS to Guthrie Govan Fives from Erotic Cakes

His band is the aristocrats you should watch him live its a trio all instrumental

Guthrie is one of the best in the world. His band is The Aristocrats - a trio comprising Guthrie, Bryan Beller (bass) and Marco Minnemann (drums). All three are top notch musicians who play in other top-level bands when not playing their fusion-based instrumental music. Guthrie has played with Steve Wilson and regularly with composer Hans Zimmer’s touring band.

Guthrie is a virtuoso treasure. Highly recommend any of his Aristocrats live performances. Pick one. Any one. They are amazing.

"Waves" and "Bad Asteroid" are perhaps some of his signature pieces with Aristocrats.
The structure of the piece brings Polyphia to mind, "Aviator" for example. And I bet Tim Henson has listened Govan's music quite a lot.

He is not finger picking but tapping

I’d recommend the previously online viral Guthrie govan man of steel improv solo for man of steel (the one he’s on stage with Hans Zimmer standing right in front of him). I think Guthrie is the best of all time

Guthrie is probably the best guitarist in the world.

Thank you.

Btw the solo is improvised. I suggest checking out more from him, I'd say Erotic Cakes (the song) from the album is great

It would be under guitar fusion..
Guthrie and Ron Thia, two of the best ever..
The jams they do together are out of this world..
100% full control of their instruments

Guthrie is just there to remind everyone else that they suck at guitar. Being demoted to beginner again. Just what I needed.

Guthrie was not a one of best guitarist, but he was a grandmaster for every best guitarist in the world, all guitarist should be learn how to be a guthrie, even its impossible.

I don't think I've heard anyone better. It's almost impossible to comprehend how skilful he is.

Uncle Skunk from the same album is hard to listen to without smiling, I love it.

How can you not know the best guitarist alive?

Guthrie is amazing, you should listen to some work from Igor Paspalj, another absolutely unbelievable guitarist. It would be great to get your reaction.
