http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guthrie_govan
It's a bit poor, isn't it? More could be said about Guitar Techniques, his cult status among guitar players, the reactions his playing has garnered from famous guitar players.
Maybe we could all cobble together and help improve the page? |

| True. Guthries article deserves something more, although good job to whoever put it up in the firstplace. |

Hmm I don't know. I remember the wikipedia page for Iraq being editted constantly as the anti-war people amended it to include examples of brutality and all sorts and the pro-war people explaining the cases for war .. and in the end it got replaced with the sentence: It's all lies.
If anything I'd like to see the page contain more of the humour illustrated in the album sleeve notes...

... and don't forget the hair info: what products (shampoo, conditioner, etc) does he use? what kind of trimmer?

I think Guthrie must be part of the Anita Dobson/Brian May family tree judging by his barnet. His guitar playing ability would of course suggest otherwise, although him and Brian are united by a mutual love of rock coupled with academic ability...
As an aside, thank you to Licklibrary for putting up those two downloadable videos of Erotic Cakes playing last year. |Does anyone else get really irritated though by how flat the reception from the crowd seems to be? They all play like absolute monsters, I'd have been going mental if I was there!! |

Being a tree frog with those cool flat round fingers might explain that tapping he does on a clean amp with a strat for the GT DVD a while back.

1) Maybe we should start a divergent page called Guthrie_Punky_Meadows for the hair product info?
2) Do you think a trimmer could be employed to curtail that beard?

I'm reckoning it's something akin to Vai's laser gloves but with light sabres... so one stroke and tug of the beard removes the surplus
