Guthrie Govan String Bending Masterclass - Part Four 

I really hope there's more masterclass videos from Guthrie to come in the future...

In Part Five, Guthrie teaches you how to bend the low E string around the neck entirely. I don't want this series to end!!!

So wonderful! Not only an incredible player, but so gifted in clarity of teaching!

Mr Govan and Paul Gilbert are THE BEST teachers.........in my opinion, very earnest and no patronization . And of course, their skills are off the chart.

What a wonderful time in history to play guitar. Thank you SO much for making my day. I can't believe this supergenius can be so kind as to share so much so well with me. Those that do CAN teach, better than most teachers. Thanks to EVERYONE involved in making this video series happen. What joy!

All these insane bends on .10's and intonation to die for. New definition of sick.

Guitar genius on so many levels.

This guy is such a great player and teacher.

What a wonderfully talented person he is! Never get tired of watching him.

Secrets to being a good guitarist: - Listen to what you play - Grow a beard - Play 100% of the time for your entire life

Man his phrasing and voicing of his bends are straight up heart warming

I would pay money for these Guthrie videos to be put out regularly. Like a subscription or something lol. He’s just so damn great at explaining and easy on the ears.

What a great guy, and that Charvel is stunning!

10:13 is why we love Guthrie! 😄

Awesomeness, tip of the hat to the people who set this stuff up too, thank you guitarist magazine :)

How can someone be that good at so many styles? I know, I know...practice, but it really is astounding. And on top of that, he is a great instructor.

6:52 He's the Bob Ross of the guitar

His ability is in a universe of its own. Truly one of the best in the world.

Guthrie is a brilliant guitarist who can play anything supremely well and he is obviously a very intelligent humorous guy as well.

I really just enjoy listening to him talk

2:50 Hey Mr Govan, whatever I did to you I'm very sorry

Guthrie is such a gentleman. And his playing skills are just out of this world.

Great lesson on this. Has all the sounds I wanted to learn from country. Helps to learn this kind of thing for learning any lead.

Great five part series, well spoken man, amazin' player, great teacher. Awesome stuff.

I love his style of teaching, thanks for the lessons!

this is great absolutely great, love Guthrie and his voice.

You have very cool way of showing guitar Thank you ! 35 years of playing just got better!!

Awesome talent and he seesm like such a cool level headed person. Well done Mr. Govan. Thanks

I've been looking for these type of lessons for ages THANKS Guitarist magazine and Mr. God Govan !!!!!!

Dude this guy has such a versatile playing style, I'm in awe.

This is really an outstanding series.

I sincerely appreciate this GG Masterclass.

Just when you think you're getting a grip on technique, along comes someone like this, to tell you..."No. No, you need to do a lot more work." It either depresses you, or inspires you. It inspires me. Great player!

Genius player and teacher.

One can never have enough Guthrie Govan.

he is amazing. and actually I didn't expect him to explain things in such a easy to understand fashion. kudos

this dude is brilliant. I love the way he talks

Definitely adding some of these to the arsenal!

Very nice job here, you are awesome GG!

This is wild...getting to grips with some off these bends is baffling but very rewarding. I feel like I'm in Nashville. Thanks Guthrie.

Very useful lessons. Thank you!

"It feels me with sadness" lol I lost it XD

so modest this guy is! i love him for that!

i've got loads of old guitarist magazines and guitar techniques magazines buried away somewhere, i might dig them back out..

Fantastic Lesson..............I really enjoyed this

Jesus, he gets so much diverse tone from that guitar. Guthrie is a real virtuoso

Great bloke! Great teacher!

Guthrie Govan. Master-class playing without the ego!!!

12:17 Holy shit, things are getting out of hand.

Who is this amazing person? guitar genius. I can't believe I just found these videos.

Such a cool person !

"So, just take all eight of your fingers and..."

Great lesson Guthrie, thanks!

Guthrie is stupid good. And such a cool intelligent guy. Love his videos.

Hey Gunthrie, I was just curious if you good do a video about progressions embedded in solos. Something Ive noticed over the years is that instead of thinking of what scale I should use over a chord, it seems to be also helpful to play in terms of outlining specific chords and an overall sense of progression, and not necessarily only in terms of arpeggios. Thanks, cheers, great videos

Masterful teaching. Guthrie the Great.

Right now I´ll accually stay with my day job. LOVE you Govan :)

Really, Really GREAT STUFF!!!!!

Looks like Guthrie had the ‘joint shifting’ technique down long before Steve did ...

*Sighs ardently and looks at guitar* Why doesn’t mine do that?

Thanks man!

Amazing - to get a free lesson from the Maestro

Chet Atkins esque progression at 10:20 is awesome, definitely worth learning by itself. Will tab out soon, PM me if you'd like it (realistically won't be done till next week, I have exams).

I wish i had just a tiny amount of his talent

love it

I love country music but suck at playing it. I love these country licks. I have to pick up the guitar now.

"Let's have a lick at look Nr. 4." Genius.

Awesome

I have Edge Zero bridge, to TremolNo available for that-no double-stop bends :(

you are so....interresting. thanks

"whatever your hands enjoy the most, that's the right way to do it."

do you use the tremol-no for all this stuff? because when I try to practice them on my floyd-rose and old-style floating tremolo-equipped guitars, bending one string causes the bridge to render all the rest so wildly out of tune that it becomes unusable to me. maybe I just need heavier springs?

it hurts!! haha very good master class!

I'd love to be able to finger pick fancy rockabilly country style riffs

"So the ER doc says 'My God, man, what did you DO to your fingers?' And I says 'I was trying to bend like Guthrie Govan!' And he says 'Well you've managed to dislocate three of them.'" I wonder if there's such a thing as 6 gauge strings...

Shit , I like Guthrie.A great teacher. Very smart guy I learn more from him than anybody here.

Esta corda é de elástico kkkk perfeito.

i love watching his videos, but am i the only one that has this feeling after, like i only learned 1/1000 of the lesson!?> .< Goodness haha, cheers

LICK 1 3:20 LICK 2 6:20 LICK 3 8:00 LICK 4 13:55 LICK 5 15:45 LICK 6 17:33

Awesome lesson, as always. Does anyone know what amp Guthrie is playing through here?

holy shit never thought I wanted to play country

Making it look easy

it happened at 3:55 He actually did a mistake.

vibrato masterclass please :D

Dude said hillbilly and I started laughing

I'm pretty sure your reference and use of Albatross and other songs in the other videos falls under fair use as it is an example used to illustrate your point.

4:08 "... meanwhile on the B string, this is where the naughtiness is happening, ..."

Hello Guthrie? 1 Question I have Is about the tone of your Guitar. It does somewhat sound like a Pedal Steel. Would thinner strings Esp, The G. B. E. Give More Of A County Sound? Good lesson By the way.

at 7:18, any risk of scratching your fretboard?

8:42 He basically fretted, tapped, bent and strummed at the same time

Well this shits getting redonkulous real quick!! I almost thought I had my shit together 😫

😮 uauuuuu...

*Looks at lick 3* Well damn, by the time I'm done with that, maybe he'll have released another series...

sooo difficuuuuuuuuuulllllllttttt

супер!!!

what amplificador is?

Young Ian Anderson!?

Guthrie is (greater than) GOD!

Well hello there!

2:45 on feels like i'm being given the finger in multiple different styles :P
