Guthrie Govan Vigier Fretless Guitar Demo - Guitar Interactive Magazine 

from* the UK

***** Oh shit, that quote means something completely different now. That changes everything. Thank you for blowing my mind.

leerobbo92 guthrie is excessively humble. such a great person.

leerobbo92 I met the guy at my former Music School in France. Believe it or not but when I came to greet him, he bent over to say hello lol, so I told him that i'm an immense, huge fan of his music, he bent over even more and didn't know what to say so he said "i'm just so grateful" he almost turned red lmao. I was like "dude, I'm supposed to say i'm grateful for your music, i'm the one supposed to bend over, or even to KNEE in front o you, not the opposite, cut the shit !" he laughed and added something like "i'll never get used to that" (don't remember well it was 6 years ago). Fuckin' love the guy. I'm so proud that he signed my guitar and his album (I didn't have the album with me so I bought it a second time at the school's music shop to get it signed lol. You can't buy enough of his music. know that (and after we asked he politely confirmed) he ain't makin' much out of his musical career, so don't download his shit !)

humble and a great guitarist.. love it One of the best things I like about him is tone.. I hate modern shredders tones they all sound like processed cheese... I know he uses some serious modern gear but doesn't Over do it ...

+Fxgamer its a worrying quote for the rest of us mere mortals!

+Fxgamer He said that to make us feel good with our tinnylittlenonplayingaveragehumanbeings :´)

He better be, sounds really out of tune

+Fxgamer His intonation is actually kinda wonky.

+Mat Loyal it's not out of tune, but if you are off the fret mark by a few mm, you're flat or sharp. He's remarkably on point, with very few "misses".

😆

He's always so humble

+AdequateGaming my musician boss once told me - only the greatest of musicians are modest

Well, he is way better on a fretless guitar now (see /watch?v=Bg_6CWcJqNM at 48:00, or 1:54:45)

I haven't ever heard him fucking. I'm sure he would have a very relaxing voice while fucking.

Fuck yeah

+JUSTTTT just(ttt) what I was thinking XP

Tavros Nitram I see what you did there ;)

Bob Ross was good at painting trees that don't exist Guthrie is good at playing guitar I see what you're getting at! That's genius btw!

fredo gumbo they both have such soothing voices Guthrie is the musical version of Bob Ross ahahah

JUSTTTT Oh, I thought that you meant Bob Ross painted trees and Guthrie Govan plays guitars which are made of wood which comes from trees. I've never heard Bob Ross play the guitar so I couldn't possibly comment on his musical voicing. Plus, he died of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Not really nice talking the piss out of him when he gifted the world paintings of alien trees and he was taken from us so young. Shame on you. Tut tut...

We all did

Not allowed?

yes, as in my parents thought a guitar would be 'too noisy'

Parents should support you when you have musical talent.

Righttttt haha sounds so awesome

Made my day mate

What uni?? \

Paulo Marconi Thanks Paulo

Paulo Marconi ...and other 4 idiots used that thumb down thing...I don't really get what's not to like in this video maybe are just jealous! I agree with you he really is amazing!

I also don't understand dislikes, i guess they are robots, not humans :) Great sound and playing.

+alexlanza7&9 ANY video will get dislikes, doesn't matter what it is. The ratio is what matters!

+Krassz I know that, you're right, it's just that this is so amazing! :)

***** He just might be!

+Ian Mignone He is probably Satan.

***** naa he's jesus

+Ian Mignone A Rock God

A masturbating god

Humility

Thats Guthrie Govan, he is amazing! Check out his work, you won't regret it :)

Guthrie is this century messiah. I agree with Haddock, you should definetely check his work with The Aristocrats, his Erotic Cakes CD, and his lessons and interviews here in YT. Best Wishes.

A reincarnation of Frank Zappa

I was thinking the same thing.

You are welcome.

I got you covered dude!! 11111111111111111111111111111... Did that help?

100%!! Spot on!!

I apologize for trying to make a funny. I'm quite in tune with the fact that my joke may not have been completely original seeing as I have seen it many times before but I thought it was an appropriate time to make said joke again for the sake of humor among my fellow musicians who are used to fretted instruments. Although at the same time I do not consider myself completely ignorant to the fretless instrument. Yes, I understand that these pieces of metal that are long the fretboard are not needed to indicate frets but I stress the point that I was trying to make some people who may have not seen the "11111111111" joke laugh and find humor in my comment. Sorry to have offended you good sir.

but... he has a professional guitar there, you're saying that like he played on a rubber band

It's always the player. You can play a spoon if you have rhythm.

did it work?

I don't think Chappers realised he had to think as if his fingers were frets.

ThatGuyOnCoke He didn't. I think Lee Anderton had to tell him "wait try where the frets would normally be" or something along those lines.

+Super Kyle loool

it already is a thing, it's called the "Air Guitar."

And they use their own mouth as the natural amp for the guitar

+Super Kyle WOW!!! Pure comedy GOLD!!!! :/

+Super Kyle Kitara has no strings. Just buttons. RU-vid it.

My thoughts exactly

Common mistake: it's actually R2-D2 from Star Wars.

the first tune GG is soloing over are the «brush with the blues»-harmonies, from JB.

The correct term is "training wheels for sissies" :'D

You are a sissy boy.

i said "one of the best" not "the best" so there are many great guitarist beside him :)

It still has fret markers, so I'm pretty sure if you can play a guitar with your eyes open, you could play a fretless guitar.

The only thing you would need to learn / work on is intonation and pitch accuracy, just like you wouldve when learning how to bend on a normal guitar

-_- It gives a smoother and warmer sound. It's not about looks....*facepalm*

As well as frees him from chromatic limitations.. I'm aware of what a fretless instrument is. As well as its functions. Lol

Jordan Lombardo fretless does look cool though lol

Like butter

I'd like to try drop D tuning on one.

JManBanshee The backing track was basically "Brush with the Blues" by Jeff Beck.

+ErebosGR are british people allowed to play blues?

not at all....Guthrie actually disappoints.....
