I was trying to learn to use Premiere Pro and this is my first project with it. I found it not bad so I decided to share it on RU-vid. So here it is, Mr. Govan being the funniest person alive for four minutes long / ramazan.ii
@@biggusdickus1689 I would say he's probably the best living today I think Shawn lane is better overall. But Guthrie had learnt so many styles and techniques and can pull off some of the greatest playing improvised he isn't an innovator though
Dude...I was at the clinic when Guthrie matched the bird call...UNREAL how good of an ear he has. It was part of a Dream Works event with him, Satriani, Animals As Leaders and about a dozen other killer musicians as teachers. Basically, the entire "teaching staff" was at Guthrie's talks unless they were scheduled to teach. Haha.
I had a bass teacher who told me to learn as many random jingles and TV show theme songs as possible. He said they are great riffs to pull out if you’re ever stuck or just to give a tired crowd a boost of something they recognize. He said he used to love to use variants of the theme from ‘l Love Lucy’ in solos. The first time I ever used one I busted into The Flintstones.
@@jake_of_the_jungle9840 video game music is perfect! Anything that is instantly recognizable or even if it only reaches a few people as a subtle nod it’s a great thing to keep in your repertoire. Here is a great example of that. It’s basically a song about needing a cup of coffee and the guitar player uses the Maxwell House Percolator jingle in the beginning of his solo. Guitar solo begins around 49seconds. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TMLYzmMXdvk.html
Guthrie makes me feel incredibly inadequate at guitar without hating myself. His enthusiasm and genuine joy is contagious. Best player of all time for me.
Sounds a little like the late great Sonny Sharock -free jazz artist who composed for the Ren and Stimpy show.... this is wrong, Sharock composed the Cartoon Network program Space Ghost Coast to Coast with his drummer Lance Carter
After countless hours of being shred upon, day after day... The guitar tries to speak... 1:32 It exclaims "Nooooooo, I don't want to play today."... Thus displayed the only act of defiance it could muster when faced with Guthrie's legendary fingers. It has never spoken up since.
I had the pleasure of attending one of his masterclasses years ago. He is without a doubt one of the happiest and easy going dudes I've ever met and he just oozes not only talent, but pure passion for his instrument. The whole class just flew by because it was so much fun, he gave us many words of wisdom, and to top it all off he hung out with everyone after the class, and signed my Charvel So-Cal. This was back in 2014, and after 6 years he is still my all time favourite guitarist.
@@Bocman1 It was actually by pure chance, there's this local podium close to my town where they have upcoming shows displayed on the outside of the building, and when I passed it one day I just happend to see Guthrie Govan Masterclass, and bought a ticket for it the way you'd normally buy a ticket for a concert.
Had a similar experience when Guthrie came to give a masterclass at my uni! (He used to teach there) an amazing guitar player and an amazingly humble dude.
When they played in Hungary with the Aristocrats, Bryan had a little stand up comedy between two songs and a dude randomly yelled something. Guthrie within a fraction of a second rolled up the volume pot and mimiced the guys voice like it was played back from tape. He did that three times that night and one of them was a loud cough. My jaw dropped how well he can speak with his instrument.

A lot of them I think I know them but can't remember where they come from. Also I have a question, does anyone know what is the lick at 4:04? Heard that everywhere. EDIT: Thanks everyone for helping me out, i really appreciate it. I think that this list may help out those like me who recognised the licks but don't know exactly where they came from. Thanks everyone, love you all
Laughter is as meaningful an emotional response as crying. What Guthrie is playing in this video is every bit as "soulful" as the most tear-jerking blues solo. Musicians don't often enough appreciate the other side of the emotional coin, seeking only to elicit tears instead of laughter.
I can confirm that while I was attending one of his clinics, the phone of the club rang and he proceeded to immediately copy it at the exact pitch. He said that it was his philosophy to be able to respond in real time to any musical input, which is how he goes about improvisation.
He freaking uses the guitar as if it is a part of his body, an arm or something... he literally expresses whatever comes to his mind to communicate, just as if he was speaking or talking with his hands. It is just incredible...
I had a few legitimate belly laughs from this. The man is a legend. I need to listen to more of his music and appreciate him more often while he's still around.
I used to play with a bassist who was basically this all the time. He's got perfect pitch, can shred, play really beautiful & tasteful stuff, as well as effortlessly deal out memes/jokes with his instrument. He was an absolute blast to be around.
This is actually an old jazz thing to do. Was is Charlie Parker that played a gig on December 31st, and at midnight played happy birthday (or something like that I think)?
I will never forget when I saw him live and he made the guitar sound like a harmonica. It didn't sound like guitar imitating a harmonica, it actually sounded like a REAL HARMONICA.
inspector gadget at 1:21 is the absolute best. looks like he surprised himself with it more than anyone else, looks at the rest of the band with a huge smile xD
My cousin used to be able to do this kind of thing, its the height of comfort with your instrument where you can basically "tell" a joke with it. Freaking crazy.
There s a famous old clip of a violin solo during a church concert being interrupted by a Nokia phone - where the violinist immediatelly repeats in correct pitch, in a taunting fashion.
@@_AshutoshYadav from 0:39 more exactly. The line he's playing while descending, then the chromaticism leading up to the bend, followed be the sweeping arpeggio and then the final run. Pretty much straight out of Jason's vocabulary, and the phrasing is spot on.
