I love how he explains the exercise to build hammer on strength in the first finger by hammering on that one string so effortlessly just blasting though a segment of one of the rhythmically challenging classical pieces.
It's been driving me nuts why sevens has a familiar sound an i just finally figured it out. It reminds me of the 2003 film titled "Hulk". The theme is written by Danny Elfman and certainly has some similarities to Guthries song sevens. Might even be it the same key but im not sure from just listening to this demonstration of Guthrie's song. Anyone else agree?
I love watching Guthrie give advice targeted at seasoned guitarists, as someone who can play basic rhythm guitar and basic pentatonic freestyle. I’m just like “mmm yes why didnt I think of that?” Lol.
The humbleness of your instruction and understanding of music is so profound - like a real life wizard showing how the magic trick is done , for me , makes all of your music even more amazing. You are a powerful and inspirational teacher - GOAT !!
4:29 Nile Rodgers and Cory Wong are like "No no, stay away from our lane" 😊. GG is sensational: fluid, creative, versatile, flawless; in many ways the greatest electric guitarist alive (RIP Allan Holdsworth and Jeff Beck). But _Erotic Cakes_ came out 17 years ago! He needs to write and record some more banging tracks in the face of the double threat of Tim Henson and Scotty LePage 🎸🎸🤘
At the airport I ld throw him in my car tell him he s goin to my basement but I'll feed him n release him in a week of lessons ....oops is that kidnapping? Lol
I' m from India and i already a great fan of Guthrie. But when he played those indian slides i cant believe my eyes. Guthrie your knowlege is vast as sea
It's fascinating... I've been watching guthrie videos when he was not the "best youtube community guitarist"... Just my personal favourite whom I could barely bring up at any gathering... One thing hasn't changed... I'll always have an unconscious smile 20 seconds passed the videos... It's amazing how good and silent(often unnoticed) his approach to spread love,care and stopping violence is....People like these should be neurally mapped if possible by some tech... They need to be preserved and studied... By everyone, not by science people only... Another one of his kind was shawn lane... I could name a few more uniquely monstrous players(Ron thal,Alex hutchings,and if I start on people like greg howe,jeff beck,jimi hendrix the list will only get longer),but hardly as beautiful a person as these....
Alright, let me check this video out.....(breaks guitar throwing it against the wall). How does he do this, ME ANGRYYYYYYYY. I'm kidding, I'd never break my guitar. It probably wasn't a good idea to watch the video at guitar center. Everyone is just staring at me... I was defending myself. The guitar started it, lol. He's still an amazing musician
If you like the slapping technique on the guitar, check out eddie van halens solo at the beginning of the song mean streets. Or his other great solos for that matter, on sinners swing, romeo delight, light up the sky, spanish fly, I'll wait, ice cream man, and eruption.
