Guthrie is probably the best guitarist in the world.

Guthrie is one of the best in the world. His band is The Aristocrats - a trio comprising Guthrie, Bryan Beller (bass) and Marco Minnemann (drums). All three are top notch musicians who play in other top-level bands when not playing their fusion-based instrumental music. Guthrie has played with Steve Wilson and regularly with composer Hans Zimmer’s touring band.

Btw the solo is improvised. I suggest checking out more from him, I'd say Erotic Cakes (the song) from the album is great

Listen to Guthrie's work with Hans Zimmer; I'd recommend the Thelma & Louise (Orange) from 2016. He breaks a string and recovers nicely. His solo are mostly total improvisation and you can see that from all the different Man of Steel solo's on RU-vid, each one is a masterpiece. Someone made a video of 13 of them joined together so you can compare them all. His work with Steve Wilson, on the songs Regret #9, Ancestral, Routine and especially Drive Home are all worth a listen to. He now plays in a three piece fusion band called The Aristocrats. Flatlands, Bad Asteroid and Last Order are all great songs and there a bunch of different versions of each available. The Aristocrats with the Primuz Chamber Orchestra album is highly recommended. Their version of Last Order is one of my favorites. He may be the finest improvisor who's ever picked up the electric guitar. There are probably 100 videos of him improvising over backing tracks in many different styles - jazz/fusion/rock/blues/country. Unfortunately there's very little of him playing acoustic (with GPS) or nylon string guitars and no classical or flamenco, though, I have seen him play the banjo.

Guthrie is a virtuoso treasure. Highly recommend any of his Aristocrats live performances. Pick one. Any one. They are amazing.

His band is the aristocrats you should watch him live its a trio all instrumental

"Waves" and "Bad Asteroid" are perhaps some of his signature pieces with Aristocrats. The structure of the piece brings Polyphia to mind, "Aviator" for example. And I bet Tim Henson has listened Govan's music quite a lot.

I’d recommend the previously online viral Guthrie govan man of steel improv solo for man of steel (the one he’s on stage with Hans Zimmer standing right in front of him). I think Guthrie is the best of all time

He is not finger picking but tapping

Thank you.
