Guthrie Govan Discussion

As guthrie would say 'good lord'!

I have just been watching the wonderful hour and a half long session.
It's great. Really gives you an insight into his playing.

I've been lucky enough to have been taught by guthrie in the past, and I'm so glad now others can observe what makes him such a great teacher, as well as player.

The highlight for me has to be his slide playing. Guthrie's obviously been working hard on this, heavily influenced by derek trucks et al. He's really starting to capture that derek vibe. It was always one thing he couldn't really do that well. Sure GG can do everything amazingly well, but I was never sure about slide. But now it looks like he's got that down too.

slide question comes in around 01:15:00

if you haven't watched yet, watch it:

Yeah very cool vid, VERY VERY COOL. Haven't finished watching it though, it stopped loading for when he started talking about the Dizzee Rascal gig...

Favourite bit so far is the funk strummin' and Waves. I hope they'll make it available for download eventually
