Rig Rundown - Steven Wilson & Guthrie Govan 

His sense of humor is almost leveled with his guitar skills.

A true Nigel Tufnel moment. While guthrie was running through his rig and talking about his amp head..... "this is a new company...so new that it doesn't exist yet."

guthrie govan should host a top gear style show about music gear

"We've grown weary of this guitar, we seek *new* pleasures" Guthrie is a living Monty Python sketch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

no wonder he's good, he's been playing the lute since the 17th century

Going back and watching this is such an eye-opener into how things have changed in the past 6-7 years. He talks about not knowing who Strymon were. He talks about Victory Amps not being a company yet. He talks about having a backup pedal in case he can't take his large Victory amp with him - they now have a lunchbox style head AND a pedal version of his amp. Amazing!

18:54 "I'm not the kind of guy who fetishises over guitars." *receives frown from Guthrie*

One of the best rig rundowns I have seen. I like how the guitars get played and how its the guitarist doing the interview and not their guitar tech.

I will never look at a McDonald's employee the same again.

hilariously stable

"We will never speak of them again."

I wish all musicians were as humble and pleasant as Guthrie , he just seems like the most laid back guy ever. And of course the best guitarist I know of XD

i love guthrie's voice :D

Guthrie's sense of humor is just as glorious as his playing. Would love to have a beer with him and just talk music all day long.

I get so much happiness from Gurthrie and Steven working together. It's like two geniuses of my music appetite joined in a meal of delicious musicality.

Respect to the Interviewer, asked the right questions but didn't take over. Guthrie as always, just awesome.

After seeing that McDonalds badge, Guthrie seems like such a genuine, authentic individual who just needed to use music to boost his life. Not only has he become one of the most talented players on the planet, he's never let it go to his head. Someone like Paul McCartney might be one of the greatest musicians based on records sales, but the guy has such a massive ego, and frankly, I find that it's difficult to appreciate his music because of this. It's like the guy has completely forgotten about what he set out to do when he first began with the Beatles... Nowadays, there are so many musicians out there who have followed this type of behavior, especially in genres like hip-hop and rap (*cough Kanye West). For these reasons, I'm always going to respect artists like Guthrie who naturally possess a down-to-earth, wholehearted personality, because that's something that I try to relate to and people like him are the people I'd like to see succeed in this world.

Met Guthrie a while back, great guy and absolutely fantastic player!

Guthrie is a great person, love the way he presents stuff

Their voice are just so pleasant to listen too

how not to love him... really he is an awsome guy and a god of guitar arts

All that jazzy stuff that guthrie was playing gave me chills

Imagine him serving someone in McDonalds in his calming voice saying "Hello! Welcome to McDonalds what would you like today?"

What a gentleman! It's always the pleasure to watch mr. Guthrie!

At 17:22 he bends up a second and then up another third. A few centuries ago he would have been burned at the stake for that

I adore the sound of that Jazzmaster. :O) Beautiful.

3:08 I just love it when guthrie plays stuff like that

I don't think I'd even mind if PG just interviewed Guthrie every day. I can't get enough of his voice, wisdom, and skill.

Guthrie does the best rig rundown. He actually gives examples of his sound live! Just awesome all around! Kudos sir.

guthrie govan drinking tea would probably be the most british thing

another reminder not to judge a book by its cover.. ive seen this guys picture on the internets and wrote him off as a shredding metal guy, but my god i've learned a bunch of smooth lines just from watching this one video.

I love how he looks so uncertain but yet when he starts to speak he seems perfectly comfortable.

That is the most fucked up thing in the world to think that, without a twist of fate, the best guitar player in the world would have been making minimum wage flipping tasty burgers, instead of shredding out the tastiest licks ever heard by mankind's ears.

This was my inaugural exposure to Mr. Guthrie Govan and I'm absolutely impressed. He's an awesome person and musician. Mr. Steven Wilson only continues to validate his own high I.Q. by collaborating with him.

such a humble genius, love guthrie.

I love watching Guthrie interviews and talking and playing. He's awesome.

After a bit of googling, I found that I my guess is actually right lol. "Yes, we did a lot with that “jazzy” guitar tone. We call it the 'Lonely Swede Lost in the Forest' sound-a sort of jazzy, warm, and dark clean sound that’s mixed with a mono plate reverb. I love that sound-it’s on many ’70s records, and it’s especially noticeable on old Scandinavian records. My buddy Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth uses that sound quite a lot." -Steven Wilson

I could listen to Guthrie play guitar all damn day.

I've been around for many years and I've gotta say that this is the best sounding rig I've ever heard. Awesome.

ahhhh the joys of playing AWESOME custom guitars and Amps and Effects .... if only we had the pleasure.

Guthrie is quite an amazing person. He really inspires me. I've travelled a little to see him and will do a lot more in the future. He really is someone you should go and see!

I Love the McD's badge. That'll keep ya grounded. Charvel makes the best production guitar for the money(just my opinion Ibanez fans). The SoCal and San Dimas are fantastic. His Charvel must be a dream to play. Govan is one of those Eric Johnson "mad genius" guitar players. He does his own thing, and it sounds great.

It's cool how Guthrie is really engaging and interested in showing off his gear. I could listen to him talk about gear and music for hours.

You can not help but love this humble genius.

Steve Wilson's choice of PRS electric guitars and Babbage & Ovation acoustic guitars are a testament to simplicity and workability...

Funny, when you watch some guitarists you think to yourself "Man, I love his tone!" With Guthrie, he'll unleash 20 guitar sounds, and each one sounds totally killer; unique, methodical and so clear-cut!

I usually don't find much need in making exclusively complimentary comments, however It is absolutely satisfying to listen to such an articulate, informative player. Jason did a swell job accommodating and allowing the guests to speak their knowledge as well as asking the right question. Jason show John Bolinger how to do this. Thanks for everything

in every new video with Guthrie, he impress me with something new

That select HH Jazz is sick!!!

Great rundown ... very funny and down to earth Guthrie ...bit of a genius on guitar too !

I could listen to Guthrie talk about guitars for days. What a lovely man.

The best guitarist in the world. Very humble man. 😎

Even got 5 stars at Maccy D's !!, I knew he would be good, What a decent chap he seems, I'd love to spend an hour with him. Could learn loads !

Steven Wilson probably calls that nice warm clean tone "the Lonely Swede" as a reference to Mikael Akerfeldt. ;)

Probably one of the best rundowns in awhile. Thanks for putting these together!

Both Steven and Guthrie are fantastic! I was at the show before this one, and they both absolutely killed it. I was two rows in front of Guthrie, and my God, that man's fingers are insanely quick

4:02 what an amusing little thing

i despise country music, except old country i can bare, but at 4:00 - 4:20 i could listen to that all day

Thanks Guthrie, i love looking at neck joints!

damn I'd never thought I would catch my self as a neck joint lover

He sounds like a super rich guy from Victorian era Britain.

He sounds like a British Mikael Åkerfeldt.

I'm here for the neck joints.

at 6:30, when Guthrie demonstrates "the Lonely Swede", he plays something that closely resembles the playing style of swedish piano player Jan Johansson. Check out his masterpiece album "Jazz på Svenska", which trnaslates into "Jazz in swedish". You wont be disappointed! :)

Guthrie have such a pleasant sense of humour. Im listening to this just to hear his voice :)

For me he is the greatest living guitarist

The worlds greatest guitar player and at the same time the most humble and down to earth guy that´s impressive.

That Jazzmaster sounds amazing -- perfect combo of Fender and and semi hollow gibby

Such a great tone! I love his ambient-leslie tone I love that guitar too I haven't looked at a lot of charvel but that tone omg, I love that amp too wow I'm in love

Did Guthrie sneak in some purple rain? 15:24

Man this video shows you the rise of Victory amps, he says its a new company, and now i cant stop talking about them.... getting the right people playing their amps helpss alot man

Haha! Love the little bit of "Rollercoaster Of Love" in the demo!

Guthrie can play anything and is funny as hell!

Guthrie Govan is real class act, one of a kind in this ever increasing narcissistic world we live.

That Fender sounds just wonderful....

Even the slightest, more off-the-cuff riff by Guthrie beats anything I've ever played on guitar in my 39 years of consciousness.

I like looking at neck joints :P

17:00 "...something cool happens"...ahaha

How could anyone ever run out of questions for Steven Wilson.

omg guthries accent in this video makes my life complete

Steven's a ridiculously underrated guitarist.

Hippy poetry:-)...ha! brilliant...great stuff...

freaking love rig rundowns. I could watch these nonstop 24/7

Steven Wilson is such a underrated guitarist, in my opinion. Guthrie is fantastic as well

6:40 I swear it's DESPACITO !!

"We shall never speak of them again." ~Guthrie Govan

"This is a new company... It's so new that it doesn't exist yet" - That alone made me spit out my coffee.

That was wonderful!!! Guthrie is a treasure to the Guitar Playing Community🥺😊

"this is a new company, so new it doesn't exist yet" ; D

woah! 15:00 did he just play star wars?

I think one of the things i like most about Guthrie is that he is just a master. He knows every part of his craft inside out. I dont know exactly what he is saying a lot of the time but i know its important to what hes doing, which is perfecting his art.

Man this is trippy. I am now the happy and lucky owner of the red Fender Jazzmaster that he shows at 5 minutes (the exact same guitar, yeah, I won it in a guitarsolo competition). And I've only just now found out about the coil-split button on the tone control. So I've basically been playing this axe daily for the past half year and not noticed the button or known about this feature. Hah! Really wonderful instrument by the way. I was considering reselling it at first, but now I don't reckon I ever will, and I expect it will instead serve me as a very good home and studio instrument. Hails.

Funny,his accent sounds rather posh at times,and here and there,just like one the lads,a London geezer."Yea mate,a pinte of lager,and a bag of roasted peanuts,lovely,cheers mate!" Love the Brits,and Hi from France :)

18:19 why does steven look so panicked for a second

These guys are my heros, thanks for taking notice.

I practiced for a whole year and now I can play 15% of the licks that Guthrie just played whilst showing you how his pickup selector works.

14:30 Love Rollercoaster

4:13 - 4:18 Why guthrie is the best musician out there, not just a guitarist. So much emotion in that small lick!!!!!

Putting these two characters together was a happy accident. Two amazing musicians.

Does anyone else looks at this once in a while just because you love hearing Guthrie speak?
