Absolutely nailed Knopfler.

@DimitriMoreira 7 лет назад

Not just Knopfler. He basically nailed all of them, except for maybe Hendrix and King, and just because of lack of rhythm playing and off tone. Govan is just... i can even... this guy is... someone else please just finish the sentence. I clearly can't.

@koho 5 лет назад

Disagree, it sounds like a virtuoso imitating Knopfler, which is what it is. Does not get the microdynamics and the unique post-bend vibrato. I'm sure he could if that were the focus, but any DS fan can tell that's not Knopfler.

@cdrpaige9486 8 лет назад

@mrknarf4438 3 года назад

That first part was spot on, towards the end a bit too much legato for Gilbert's style. Still very impressive, of course!

@DannyJamesGuitar 9 лет назад

Just to clarify... This was a job Guthrie did for a guitar magazine. The magazine had a poll for the public to vote on the best guitarist in 20 different categories. They then asked Guthrie if he could make a piece of music that had a little bit of playing based on the style of the winner from each category. If you look in the description of the video you can see the category and the winner. Just thought I'd mention that to answer the questions like "Where's guitarist x" etc...

@wea69420 8 лет назад

+Orange Fender He outplays them. Is he more influential? hell no, I knew all those guys way before I heard about Guthrie, yet he can play circles around any guitarist I've heard of, from this list or anywhere else and also remain musical while doing it. Will he ever appear as important as the guys on the list? probably not. Does he deserve it? yes. He has an understanding deep enough of music to be able to identify what makes every guitarist's style and apply it to his own playing, but I still know it's him. Doing that is far harder than it seems.

@gibsonflyingv2820 8 лет назад

Do you honestly believe that any of the guitarists on this list who have been playing for longer than this guy has even existed are incapable of doing the same thing? He does not out play them. He down plays them if anything, covering a persons guitar work that they invented will never be "outplaying them" especially since if not for them he wouldn't be playing anything your argument is invalid. This guys technically skilled but has no soul. Sorry.

@blackmane1999 6 лет назад

GuitarPanda but the thing is about mastery. In guitar it is not necessary that if u can play everythin or not, the thing that matters is if u have mastered a thing to the fullest or not and can apply to amaze people and then become a virtuoso with it. Hence considering all this i feel that Guthrie is more of a teacher rather than a virtuoso.

@nostalcholy 6 лет назад

Guthrie is a virtuoso, he's almost perfect at everything, i don't know many other guitarists that achieved even that, they just focused on fewer techniques

@blackmane1999 6 лет назад

@MoonWalkerTexsRanger 6 лет назад

I don't see what fame and fortune have to do with virtuosity but anyway.. Mastering all the technic almost perfectly is a kind of virtuosity, so yes, Guthrie Govan is a Virtuoso. And he doesn't have to choose between that and teaching haha! he does both! (and if we really talk about virtuoso, maybe don't choose Satch and Slash as exemples..)

@f3l18ipsk8ermm 11 лет назад

at this point in Guthrie's career, you can't even say that he's not right up there with Gambale and Holdsworth. Even if you don't like his music, you can't deny his ability to combine every style as well as every technique. He's mastered tapping and shredding just as much as jazz and blues. AND, the biggest and of all, he still keeps it musical and plays simple, melodic licks. If you're a true musician, you can't deny GG's skill even if you're not a fan.

@user-ov5nd1fb7s Год назад

No one can deny he is a good musician and a great rock guitarist. What can easily be denied is him being up there with Holdsworth, and even Gambale for various reasons. He doesn't have even 10% of Holdsworth's harmonic depth and improvisational skills, nor the body of work or originality Holdsworth has. He is not even in the same genre. Nor he is in the same genre as Gambale, but i would admit closer to his level than Holdsworth. Gambale has been hanging in with the greats of Jazz for 30 years, like Chick Corea. Gambale only makes rock records for fun. I don't see Guthrie having the improvisational skills and harmonic depth to make it in a band with Chick Corea. End of story.

For everyone asking, why he doesn't mimic, or cover Allan Holdsworth? In a interview, Guthrie said Allan is the one and only guitar player that he would never try to cover or duplicate his sound. If that doesn't speak volumes at what a legend Allan is I don't know what does. Allan has a sound and uniqueness of his on that nobody can ever touch.

@ironpirites 8 лет назад

+John Carter That's respect. Just the way Joe Satriani has said that he can't do some of the harmonic stuff that Jeff Beck does. Pure respect. Also like Stevie Ray Vaughn who said he would never take the guitar out of his brother's hand and when on stage with them, would never cut somebody like Albert King.

Guitar4Students The best guitarists (or bands) write stuff that grabs the public's attention, like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Aerosmith, etc. It's not about technical proficiency, so much as it is finding riffs that resonate with people. Extreme technical accuracy or mimicing note-for-note is almost a pointless exercise in a way, because it won't make you rich or famous, or make people happy, unless there is original heartfelt composition behind it.

They are the result of a poll in a guitar magazine for "Best xxx", and it was done years ago.

Incredible...well done Guthrie! The hardest guitarist to mimic: David Gilmour.

@poison4822 3 года назад

Really bruh

@MrBarrynicholas 2 года назад

He did a great rendition.

@MrBarrynicholas 2 года назад

@Teddy Gant Don't be silly, he was pretty much spot on with everyone.

@wiebenijenhuis1825 2 года назад

The only thing that didn't match up was tone, if he would have used like a strat with a lot of bass and mid on neck position it would have worked out better imo

@MrBarrynicholas 2 года назад

@@wiebenijenhuis1825 I'm sure if he reads these comments he will take onboard your observations.

@lamunedonein2656 7 лет назад

@PrashannaGauta 7 лет назад

@willpopemusic 7 лет назад

Ade Stickbaby Exactly. That was the Point. Have a good time, maybe melt some faces. Certainly not to jumpstart a shitstorm in your friendly, neighborhood comment section. Ye gods.

There is no such thing as "the best guitarist"; it cannot be precisely determined

Just when I finally get comfortable calling myself a guitar player, I find this video...

@MrRaiden182 8 лет назад

Best pinched harmonics Zakk???? Dimebag should be there.

@OtterNoises27 8 лет назад

Dime did more regular harmonics. the dive bomb technique didnt use pinch harmonics.

@fernandomoreno7753 8 лет назад

dime did a ton of artificial harmonics with the whammy bar not really a lot of pinch harmonics like zak does all the time.

@arfermcarfer1369 6 лет назад

Dime for taste

John Wayne JR why use an apostrophe for pluralization?

@bluesborn 11 лет назад

You make some good points.To elaborate on my original statement I think an "instantly identifiable original sound" is characteristic of real artistry and creativity as opposed to the workman like ability to shred.There are tons of players out there who can play circles around Jeff Beck for example-from a technical standpoint but none of them possess that exceedingly rare creative force that seperates the artists from the craftsmen -if you will-that make guys like Beck one in a million.Truly.

Thanks Guthrie!! Feakin put a big smile on my face!

@KeepItMetal100 8 лет назад

I think this video shows well how unique a player Jimi was. I think Guthrie nails all the others pretty damn well and accurately, but with Jimi there's just that little something missing. All the others were excellent and Jimi part certainly wasn't bad either but his style is just so hard to mimic.

@jamiemacmillan4056 8 лет назад

it sounds more like Guthrie playing blues with a fuzz than jimi

@irena7777777 8 лет назад

Imagine Jimi trying to copy Guthrie if he could. That definitely wouldn't sound good

@KeepItMetal100 8 лет назад

+fredo gumbo Most likely not. Nowadays there are such technical monsters that likes of Jimi and EC wouldn't stand a chance. Gotta admit that Guthrie also has the musicality and feel like the old masters in addition to ridicilous technical ability.

@irena7777777 8 лет назад

nabaloo Yeah, he has it all and more. Hard pressed to find another guitarist with that amount of talent these days.

Only thing I would've done differently is the placing of B.B. King styled piece in the whole thing... I think it would've sounded better on the bluesy part in the end

@Frostylyxxx 5 лет назад

It’s because Zak Wylde does the wah pedal better than him. Haha

@jasonbourne5066 11 лет назад

yes...agree with your comments. the dude is absolutely amazing. no doubt. I don't know what we "call" it, but that unique, artistic contribution--the new view of something, new way, angle, words, sound, tone, voice, colors, manipulation of these things that gives us something impacting and timeless. myself, i'm more in awe of the artistic ability than the technical ability. but i don't even know if that statement is 'correct'. anyway, i'm with you.
