I thought so until I saw Bumblefoot which Guthrie claims to be the best and I agree even though I prefer Guthrie's style. Bumblefoot's style is impossible to do.
The best guitarists are those who make your favourite music. I find Guthrie's talent and versatility extraordinary; I find his music - the Steven Wilson years aside - dull and forgettable. I watch this sort of thing to marvel at the chops, but that's all.
@@user-pt1ye7vd7m how did you know what I have heard? Are you stalking me, or are you just a fanboy? I've listened to most of his solo work, and most of his Aristocrats stuff. I'm in awe of his technical ability, but don't like his music. If you like it, fine. That's your choice.
This has to be like the 30th time I've listened to a distinctive live performance of Sevens and what is most mesmerizing about Guthrie's playing to me, aside from the obviously marvelous technical ability, is how musical his playing is. His creativity and thought process for improvisation seems infinite regardless of genre and setting. I feel like this is what seeing Mozart play in person must have felt like.
Last night I had a very shitty party night, woke up feeling like shit. So I decided to watch a couple of Guthrie live shows, and now I'm feeling fresh again. Thanks, Guthrie.
Same as how I feel about people that just have to clap at every damn sentence in a speach. Just stfu and let the speaker make the whole point, then clap.
@@user-pt1ye7vd7m In Indian music culture especially classical you vocally appreciate when the soloist plays a beautiful and intricate phrase or run... culture shock I suppose
"Gnaaa!!!" I wanna know the name of this bassist girl before I die, and I'll sure know her name before that! Edit: 1min after: Mohini Dey => Thanks myself for beeing.. "myself"
I love having the great discussion of who is the better player, vai or govan, I say govan because he plays styles better than vai, he can sound like so many guitarists but.. I find it hard hearing His sound, unlike vai were u hear him and instantly recognize that it's him, which 1s better, hard 2 say really, comments plz lol
I can recognize Govan in any of his solos, he was featured in one of Steven Wilson's albums, and right as I listened to the solos on it I went WAIT DID STEVEN ASK GUTHRIE TO PLAY IN HIS ALBUM, and then looked it up lmao sorry Im bad at using "in/on/at" I get them all tangled together
You watch his tutoring vids about solo structure and getting away from speed and showboating. But the solos are often just showboating with now structure or journey. It's like one of those freestyle footballers who have amazing keepy uppy tricks - but tbey're never going to win the world cup...
Well I say the solos are overflowing with structure, journey AND chops, and that he's more like Brazilian Ronaldo, outrageously skilled technically, and not only wins the World Cup but gets the golden boot as well. Guess it's your word against mine, huh?
