Guthrie Govan Discussion

yo. 15 year old guitarist here. Just wondering if there are any dvd's or books you guys would recommend for anything, whether it be over theory or alternate picking.

Seeing as you're here...Guthrie ...

This is not cool...the mag has barely hit the shelves yet. What do you think will happen if they get 25% less sales* because anyone who was interested in the Lane article downloads your pirated versio ...

In fact, it could be the most perfectly strat-looking strat-copy I ever saw! Online pics seldom do a guitar justice, I ...
